Right, so it’s 30 players maximum and NO LTI allowances?

Yep. That is correct.

We have a full league.
I’ve been playing around with it and it looks like there is no capability to adjust the draft order for each round to reflect trades.
It’s highly likely the draft will be run on Blitz and I’ll update AFL Fantasy to reflect our draft picks as we go.

There is an ‘unlock league’ on the draft page, but I’m not willing to push that yet until I find out what it means.

I’ve found a way to edit draft order by rounds. It’ll activate when we pay the fee which I’ll sort out tomorrow.

Did anyone else get an email about selecting their keepers?
I’m still playing around with it, but I can’t find a way to assign players to your teams so you can take keepers.
It’s likely the first 20 rounds will be keepers that you’ll have to select as picks but I’ll know more by Saturday.
I’ll begin switching the draft picks to the last ten rounds instead of the first ten on Saturday if there isn’t a clear way to sort out keepers before then.

No email for me

Okay. Could be a commissioner thing then.
I’ll look into it further tomorrow.

I won’t know until Saturday how to handle keepers and the draft.

It’ll either allow me to assign players to picks (this is unlikely) or I’ll have to re-order the draft picks and get everyone to take their keepers with the first 20 picks of the draft (most likely).
So it’s most likely we’ll start the draft on Blitz until all keepers have been selected with your first 20 picks of the draft. Hopefully there is a function like UF where you can set it to pick off your saved watch list and we get through those relatively quickly.

Regardless of which way we go, please post your keepers in this thread by 9pm AEST this Sunday and I’ll update the squad thread in time for Monday morning’s draft.

Make sure you guys check what AFL Fantasy thinks are your players’ positions guys, there are some doozys in there.

Yep.
Note to all, the positions in the thread are scraped off the bench.
Dunlop provided the xls sheets with updated positions, but I’d refer to the positions that are listed on the AFL Fantasy website.

I’m expecting the draft to go slowly as it’ll take a bit of time to sort out who missed out on a keeper spot and is available in the draft, but usually the first 10 or so picks are rookies / new mature age players.

The squad thread will be updated to strike out who doesn’t make keepers, so that might help a bit.

Oh. I’ve selected my team based on the positions in the FF thread. Bummer.

That’s okay. You can still change it.
I’ll go through and remove the positions later on tonight when I get a chance so that there isn’t any confusion.
