2022 Draft Rule Clarification/Change

[Brad]

As your commissioner, it is incumbent upon me to keep the game current with the times, but also improve its fairness and financial well being  along with its fan base.  

In the past, the league has allowed a #1 to be kept as a #1, but then there is no room for the #2 to be kept.  Technically, then the #1 doesn't cost a "one round up" selection.  So beginning in the 2022 drafts, first round draft picks from last year, cannot be kept as a first round this year.  First rounders every year would not be keepable.  I think this makes sense and followers more directly the cost of "one round up" for keepers.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. 

Thank you.

I like this rule change.

[Brad]

I thought I asked this already too, but apparently not.

I would like to add a Injured slot that teams can move a guy to and seek out a FA or trade.  I've played in leagues with the injured roster spot it gives a little more flexibility needed in a 12 team league.

If you disagree with roster change, please say so!  Thanks!

I don't have a strong feeling either way, but I will say that an injured slot could have a larger impact in a dynasty/keeper league because you can now stash a guy away for a whole season who may have been drafted low due to injury. I kind of tried to do this last season with Deshaun Watson (decided not to keep him anyways this year), but at least I had to waste an active roster spot to do it all year.

Just want to make sure this rule stays in place.....i dont want someone to pick up the guy im about to drop and then see him being labelled as a keeper on a team next year

Can you remind me where I can find what draft round each player is assigned to? I’m OK with this change, but I will need to go back and change my keepers.

That rule was changed last year but I’m happy to point you in the direction for this years keepers! I don't think you can use the app for this, so use the web version. But in the league, click on draft>draft results>last years draft(or last years results not sure on actual verbiage) scroll to find your team and it will list the round all players on your final roster last year were drafted, wether you drafted them or someone else.

Yep, I was just there...

When you open FFL it will be set for the 2023 season, change it to 2022 season then select draft results.
