HFBoards' 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Discussion Thread

[Elliman]

Any chance I can jump in and take Robert Macs team? I can make up the 3 missed picks when the draft is over?

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I was gonna take Van Dijk, shame.

 

[YNWA14]

I was gonna take Van Dijk, shame.

Pretty happy with it. Thought for sure he'd have gone with the run on defenders. Skriniar was gonna be my backup pick.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I'm looking to trade down. Anyone interested just send me a PM

 

[YNWA14]

Ahhhhhh he was one of my other two if vvD had been picked. Great pick. Keita is a beast.

 

[Venkman]

Thought about taking Keita when I picked Silva. There was another one I was thinking about for this pick too, tough choice.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Unless someone drops like crazy for @les Habs to take at 71, feeling pretty solid about what I got from that trade.

 

[YNWA14]

Some really nice picks this round. Fekir is great value there.

Not really sure what someone dropping to me would matter with how you feel about the trade, but since it seems to I would prepare for some disappointment.

Because the raw player valuation of the trade can't truly be fully evaluated until after all the picks involved have been used! But I'll prepare myself

At the end of the day all that really matters is did you help yourself or not. Rating the trade is rather meaningless. The entire forum could say I lost it, but they won't, and it wouldn't matter to me. And the trade is exactly the sort of trade (though on a smaller scale) that I've been making for years. With the draft set up as it is it gives me a particular approach to trades if you're smart makes it hard to lose them.

 

[YNWA14]

Are we doing judging this time around?

 

[les Habs]

Savant about to go crazy. No pressure son.

 

[les Habs]

Sane was going to stick out like a sore thumb pretty soon if not already.

 

[Live in the Now]

Got what I wanted there. Some great redemption for not having a pick in the second round.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I'm absolutely fuming. I really thought Sané would slip to me.

 

[Live in the Now]

I'm absolutely fuming. I really thought Sané would slip to me.

I had a huge list he was at the top of. Still five or six players left on that list too.

Only players picked before your last pick who weren't on it were Brandt and Gimenez (who I took last year).

Yeah I have about 3 defenders that are about as good as Gimenez but I think that he will outplay them this year. I'm hoping to get a couple of these players that are falling that I've targeted since the beginning (not as my first pick but just ones that I wanted). Currently I have a list of 9 players that I want. I'm hoping to get 2-3.

 

[YNWA14]

van Dijk, Sane and Keita were the three I was considering at my pick.

 

[Live in the Now]

Everyone crapped on Gimenez when I picked him last year but he was great this season. I would have taken him in the next round but I prefer to avoid repetition.

Yeah I don't think I repeated yet this year. My team was pretty bad last year with my second round pick not even being taken yet and my first round pick being Toni Kroos.

 

[Savant]

Was online for most the morning. LITN took one of the guys I was targeting I will pick after lunch. I may be willing to trade down with one of my picks though so bring in the offers.

 

[les Habs]

Hopefully lunch isn't beef bourguignon,

 

[Savant]

Hopefully lunch isn't beef bourguignon,

Not exactly but Mrs. Savant will not be amused. Snuck one pick in though.

 

[YNWA14]

Mane is a great pick.
