Status: offline 		Well, last year, Matrix had 3 leagues. One was an autodraft, one was a live draft, and one was a live draft with defensive players.

Anyway, consider me in, Mickey, and thanks for the invite. I've never done a league with defensive players before...should be interesting!

And I'll be hitting the Matrix leagues, as well. Good grief...I may actually overdose on FF this year...

Status: offline 		Autodraft means you make a list of the players you want and when the draft is set to run, when it is your turn you are given the next available player on your list. You can simply accept he default ordering if you don't want to take the time to try to "game the system". By that I mean tinker with the order based on when you think guys are going to go (particularly in the later rounds) to get "sleepers" you want or not waste a potential pick on someone that the "experts" rank high - but you think will be a bust.

THis systme allows you some influence over who you get (or don't get), without requiring you to be onlne at a specific place and time.
