Great video! I agree with everything you said! Quick question… How does having more positional requirements decrease league activity? I can understand why having less positional starting requirements would decrease trades because of the flexibility but you mentioned starting 3RBs or 4WRs can decrease activity. Why is that?
@@DynastyLandFootball My apologies my friend. I was commenting on another video and midway through my comment it auto played this video before I hit send lol. I did not mean to comment on this video but did enjoy this video as well. Sorry about that lol.
Our normal league only has five bench spots. So for dynasty do you definitely want way more than that? Also, can you do custom matchmaking for example, you play your own conference twice then and out of conference games once?
If you were to start a league now or just after the regular season ends, and do a startup draft with all current players, then would you do the rookie draft after the actual NFL draft or before? Also this would mean that you do two drafts in the same offseason is that the correct way to do it?
@@DynastyLandFootball Ok, but then how would you give the people their rookie draft picks. is each pick customizable, to where for instance, you could have one person with all the top 3 picks?
Seasons coming to an end in dynasty do I leave the auto renew tab on or take it off? When do I auto renew after the championship or wait till new rookie draft? I just want the previous season history next year
I see you did 4 Rounds for incoming rookies. I just came from a Lg that had it at 10 rounds but disbanded before I saw how it worked. I’m starting a fresh Lg and have it at 7 rounds like in real life is that a good set for a 12-14 team Lg ?
7 is pretty drastic in our opinion, if its a true Dynasty League where you are only drafting incoming rookies, then by Round 4 you are most likely drafting practice squad players or guys who won't make an NFL impact. Round 5 is the most I would go myself but we do 4.
@@DynastyLandFootball Wasn’t trying to be snarky, we are doing a start up dynasty league for many first timers. Trying to weigh the pros and cons of both, can you provide insight as to why you prefer a snake vs auction? Or is it just preference?
@@stich21 hahah you’re good!! Hopefully you & your league are able to be on a call or stream together, etc. that way the pick can be added while you pause the draft :)

I’m setting up a Sleepy dynasty this season. This is perfect
Best video i’ve seen on DFF

Hey Garrett! Can you link me with a time code? This was so long ago, I can’t remember the context or time I mention that 😅

Yes you should have more, I’m not certain on the last one
I have 12 bench spots (22 total roster spots) is that ok?

If I were to do it, I would use kickers as a place holder for the rookie picks and then do a rookie draft after the nfl draft 🙏🏼

On sleeper, Whoever the commissioner is can manually set picks in settings
@@DynastyLandFootball Alrighty thanks!
Do you recommend a certain way to do the buy in the first year? Like paying double the pot or anything like that?
that's up to you and your league mates but if you don't trust the people in your league as much as you'd like - best to plan ahead.
This video is clutch!
Huge love brother! Go fins!
In terms of the Free agency bidding how do you go about the money? Is it real life money or like fantasy money?
Its fake fantasy money called FAAB
Does sleeper app notify you when a draft pick has been made on a slow draft ?
If you turn on your notifications on sleeper it should
With sleeper. Can you do an in person draft and just manually add the picks?
yes!!
Seasons coming to an end in dynasty do I leave the auto renew tab on or take it off? When do I auto renew after the championship or wait till new rookie draft? I just want the previous season history next year
If it’s on sleeper, it won’t matter what time you do it - it will automatically bring history whenever you renew.
@@DynastyLandFootball it’s is on sleeper. When do you typically renew your leagues activating trades and stuff?
2nd week of JAN but there’s no right or wrong time to do it
How do you add the supplemental draft new rookies ? Don’t see the option for it at the moment.
Can we do a rookies draft after nfl draft and a regular draft before the season? Does it let you do that or do you just have to do one draft?
cant do a rookie draft before the startup
I could really use some help setting up our startup draft. Slepper does not allow me to do more than 10 rounds. Any advice?
DM Sleeper on Twtter because that shouldn't be the case

What recommendations do you have for a 12 team Lg. We have 1Qb 2RB 3 WRs 1 TE 2 Flex 1 SFlex
What about signing players to contracts and salary cap?
Not something we do but I know others do!
If I set up the start up draft to be snake can the drafts in subsequent years be linear?
It can if you want it to be that the way
How do you manually add that 2.13 pick for the rookie draft?
commish can pause the draft and add the player manually for the team
@@DynastyLandFootball can you draft rookies year 1 like if i start one today
Why not an auction draft as a start up? Does this not give the most parity and take the “luck” of the draft position out of it?
because then you would have to do an auction draft

@@corywilliams2674 my bad, there really is not wrong way to draft. Auction is fun, we just prefer the trading action of a StartUp :)
how do you manually add a 2nd at the end of the round?
old fashion pen and paper
@@DynastyLandFootball Hmm I'll have to check if I have any of those tools. Thanks
@@stich21 hahah you’re good!! Hopefully you & your league are able to be on a call or stream together, etc. that way the pick can be added while you pause the draft :)
Why not best ball with the taxi squad added .
If you want to play best ball then do so!
