Stackers there's still time to join the SN ~Stacker_Sports Faantasy Football League.
lets have some fun this upcoming season. see this post for details #473247
I'm willing, but I never played it before. Will there be hand holding?

before i forget, two resources you may find helpful.
  1. keep, trade, cut. especially for dynasty trades, gives you a ball park to work in and is a really helpful tool when starting trade negotiations with people. its not gospel but it is a good start.
  2. fantasy pros - really helpful with rankings to help you prioritise your picks and stuff.

Thanks

it'll be great to have you join the league, that would make 7, ideally we'd want to find one more for a decent sized 8 man league, keeps things easy to learn and easy to play. i want to keep it all stackers only, but if push comes to shove, i can reach out to other people i'm in multiple leagues with and have them fill a spot, maybe they end up coming to SN via the league.

I need to look into it more before I commit. I don't want to bail half way through. When do you need to know by?
reply
i was going to close the league for entries once we were ready to draft. i intend on drafting shortly after the main NFL draft. maybe the following week, we'd know the landing spots of players and things like that by then so i think approximately a week after the real NFL draft is when i'd look to close entry. so anytime really before then. but i'd recommend giving yourself some time to get familiar with drafting by doing at least one mock in an auction format. just so you know what you're going to expect at the actual start up draft.

Good advice.
reply
Yeah. We got people who have played before but not in years and we got people who just want a casual no stress league.
Since I'm commissioning it, I intend to provide help and guidance for people.
Eg. If I think a trade is hugely one-sided and unfair I'll probably contest it and ensure I've spoken with the people involved in the trade. We want a fun league not one where people are taking advantage of inexperienced players. That's no fun.

Good. First question: I don't use google. Is there an alternate source to grab that sleeper app that you are aware of? If not, I'll hunt around.
reply
Alternatively, you can log in on your browser then do a browser shortcut to mobile? That's how I'd do it.
reply
Good idea

That's how I use SN as I found it slightly better than the actual app.
reply
SN has an official app? I use the PWA, which is what I think you probably use too?
reply
I found one on the app store but I use PWA. The app was a little too clunky and I didn't like the UI it's not too dissimilar to the pwa but for some reason I prefer the pwa 🤣
I think it's available on the aurora store? If not you can get it straight off their website sleeper.app
reply
I think it's on APK combo. Okay. Thanks

We're doing an auction draft as a start up because it's going to be a dynasty league. Which is wicked fun, just keep in mind your roster construction and how many of each position you want to start. I'd recommend using their mock draft tool to get familiar with drafting for fantasy. It can be very entertaining.
However if it doesn't take off as a dynasty we're flexible enough to move to redraft easily. But I'd hoped to keep it dynasty and produce weekly updates for ~stacker_sports hopefully bystanders will be able to effectively begin to support a team and watch how their stacker is getting on. There's lots of scope for content for stacker sports from this.
