My first of six drafts is Friday. It's a 3-year 12 team keeper league, and you lose the round of the pick you made on your keeper, and if it was a free agent, you lose an 8th round.

My keepers are Mike Evans (costs me a 6th), Latavious Murry (costs me an 8th), and Julius Thomas (costs me a 14th).

So I start with those three guys and still get to draft in the first five rounds. Pretty stoked on that.

I'm currently atop my Premier League (random draw of 20 people) and in second in my Friends & Enemies League (5 of us, it uses the same team as in my Premier League).

I think I'm going to dump Harry Kane for Befetimbi Gomis and Charlie Adam for Pedro before the fixture list is played out this weekend.

How do mid-fielders and back defenders gain points?

How do mid-fielders and back defenders gain points?
For all players: a goal is 3 pointsand an assist is 2. For full backs, center backs and goalkeepers it's complicated to explain the exact way it works but what it comes down to is this:

Clean Sheet 3 points
1 goal conceded 0 points
2 goals conceded -1 point
3 goals conceded -2 points
etc.

In essence, they're like the defense you start in Fantasy Football.

Well, sort of. The biggest difference would be that you have individual defenders and keepers and not a team defense.

Right. I get it. It's just that you need to pick defenders from teams with a good defense since they're not likely to score offensively.

That's part of it, yes. Also to be considered: you have a salary cap, some defenders will score a few goals and get assists and you can only have a maximum of 2 players from any club.

So the keepers are in for my 3-year 12 team keeper league. The best on the board left are Charles, Lynch, Bryant, and D. Thomas. I pick 6th so I'm going to assume all four will be gone. It looks like my best prospect is either D. Murray or Cobb. Manning is out there and is tempting to take. I don't think the loss of Julius Thomas will be that large for Manning.

Stick to the thread topic. :nod:

Anyone play Draft Kings? I've seen a ton of commercials for it and from that all I can tell is it looks to be some form of gambling via fantasy football/baseball/basketball/etc... but I have no clue how it works and how it determines if you "won" and if so how much $ you should receive.

I play occasionally. I went 7-1 in the Premier League last weekend. It is gambling via fantasy sports, yes. There are all sorts of pools and head-to-head games to play and what you win depends on the dollar amount you want to risk. You can play for as little as $1.

My league drafts tonight. After runner up in 2013, I get the 2nd pick in 2015 :D

Really hoping for Bell, but I'll go Charles if Bell goes #1.

Money is different on each game. You enter based on the game you want to play and the entry fee. Everyone gets a dollar budget and you try to fill the best team you can with that money, obviously really good players cost a lot so you can't load up. It's basically them you against everyone and the highest score wins. Usually they payout top 20% or something.

Ok got the concept - obviously the more $ you wager on a week/game the higher the payout but what is the % "take" Draftkings takes and is it winner take all or top 3 that week actually win some money.

Again, you can play in a pool where the top X win money or you can play head-to-head with one other player.

The pools are called "Leagues" and they vary in size from 3 people to like 50k. They also vary in how many get paid.

In head-to-head games, the winner gets 80% of the loser's money and DK keeps 20%. In other words, if you play a $1 game, the winner gets $1.80 (the dollar the winner risked plus $.80 of the loser's risk).

After going 5-1 in week one. I am going to go 2-4, with an outside chance of 1-5 this week :D

But in my league where I drafted Bell #2, I went 1-1. I gladly take a 1-1 without him.

Lost Dez in the only league I'm 2-0 in, and now I lose Romo in my big money league :fp: but Palmer is my backup!
