HFBoard's 2019 Fantasy Football Draft Discussion Thread

[les Habs]

OK, so trading picks is now definitely open game. Just remember the main trade rules:

-Trades are one for one.
-Both posters have to confirm the trade in this thread.

 

[S E P H]

Lol, @Vasilevskiy should've traded back.

 

[Gecklund]

So are we starting this directly after the final, on Sunday, on Monday? What’s happening?

So are we starting this directly after the final, on Sunday, on Monday? What’s happening?

In the opening post it says 6 AM June 2nd.

 

[les Habs]

Start time is 6am Barcelona local time since @Vasilevskiy has the first pick.

I will probably be sending in a list then. I’ll wait though and see where we are at when I go to sleep on Saturday.

 

[YNWA14]

I've already got my first 10 rounds mapped out. Really excited for this year's draft.

I have a list of players ready but I’m not gonna map one out because these things go everywhere.

You've got 10 hours to pick, otherwise you can find a proxy if you like. Not a big deal.

I just don’t want to hold up the draft in the first round. I’m not worried about keeping within the clock. I just don’t want to make everyone wait until I get up if I already know who I’m taking.

It's going to get held up at some point in the first round so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[les Habs]

Draft stared just over two hours ago. @Vasilevskiy will be PMed and has just under 8 hours to make the first pick.

 

[Evilo]

No brainer 1 and 2 IMO. Some would pick Mbappe first because of his age, but this is the most logical choice.

 

[YNWA14]

Isn't @SJSharks39 next not @Live in the Now ? Or did I miss a trade?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

f***ed up, my bad.

PMed him.

 

[Gecklund]

I was really hoping that Messi/Neymar would be 1 and 2 so I could have Mbappe but I’m also happy with Neymar.

 

[Evilo]

Neymar is a little better than Mbappe at this point, but the thing is, he's something like 7 years older (didn't check that one).
We have no idea where Mbappe is going to stop.

 

[les Habs]

I thought some might question Neymar at #3. I personally don't. I also agree with @Evilo that I could see Mbappe' taken at #1 based on age, but Messi is still deserving of that spot considering his season.

We have no idea where Mbappe is going to stop.

Speak for yourself. I know where he's going to stop. Madrid.

 

[Evilo]

Yeah, the top 3 are good value picks.

As for Madrid, god I hope not, but I fear it'll be the case in a year.
Except if Real sucks for another year, which is highly possible.

Yep agree 100%. I still planned my team around Mbappe because I was absolutely convinced I was getting him

 

[Savant]

I would have gone Mbappe at 1, but not for those reasons

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I wouldn't have minded Messi either

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Messi still has a few years of being the GOAT, no-brainer for me and I love me some Mbappe

Even if that weren't the case there's another reason to take Messi there over Mbappe'. I just can't say what it is.

Sorry lads I might be trading back, but I am here.
