My SCS league updates ...

All leagues are full ...

- Even with 2 x 20 team leagues full with only me in both ... I'm still short one spot ...
- but nobody has missed out in being in at least one of my 10 leagues ...

Thanks to all that I've asked to make way to accommodate this increased popularity this season ...

So if you have spare spots I'd advise to join the latest leagues on offer ...

I do also run an SCS Group league that anyone is able to join:

I just joined. I have been skimming through all the posts here, and trying to research for the Sleeper Draft that is going on, trying to learn how both leagues are played, hmmm. I haven't done a Team for RDT yet, but I'll get there. :D

Sorry for the spam… are there any good NBA fantasy podcasts that relate best to DT? I know most fantasy players do ESPN and also do draft leagues so it’s hard to find something that relates to the tactics of DT (similar to SuperCoach). Any thoughts?

Which of the Thompson Twins do I start? Amen or Ausar? Hold me now…
I like Ausar more, he should start, he should get more minutes and his guards are all willing passers but Amen is also an exceptional talent and he'll earn plenty of minutes. Both are going to likely rely on rebounds and STOCKS for their points and not sure you really want either starting if you can avoid.

Don't know any podcast but you're looking for articles/pods based on breakout players and impact rookies most likely. The premiums we basically know already, outside of a few having important new teammates that could impact them most will be similar, so if you're seeking cash generation and that's the major difference in the DT format to the American formats.

Also not a terrible idea to look at the ADP (average draft position) information and finding mismatches between guys taken very highly in drafts that don't have huge prices in this format. You're basically looking at the guys who are expected to improve significantly basically.

My final team, 300k left over:
Screenshot (37).png
I've decided on going for 3 rookies on field. 4 uber premos with 2 mid-pricers/fake premos. Pretty safe team, not many risks. 3 MEM is not where I thought I'd end up, but Rose and Z.Williams should get solid minutes and their price tags allow me to strengthen other areas. Barring Toppin and Miller everyone either has a 3,4 or 3,3 start. SGA to Doncic and 2 corrections are the planned trades. Low cash on hand may make it difficult but I'll find a way.

Best of luck everyone!

My first draft. Any suggestions welcomed.

View attachment 63106
Too many 2 gamers.
Lose Edwards and put Cunningham on field then put a cheap rookie on the bench.
Still leaves Simmons/Poole/Banchero on 2.
You have about 45m left for 2 PG and a SF.
Look at players with 3 games.
You can bring in others next week. 2 free transfers don't carry over.

See what others suggest.

Yea I’ve got 3-4 open spaces, don’t mind joining more. Intend to focus on Overall, but always good to track how we’re all doing.
I have a couple of open spots for a league. I also Have a friend who’d be keen
1 spot in a league for me.
I’m old. Joined 👍
Joined I got the last spot
Hey guys! I’m back again for another year (no one will remember me from last year and that’s ok) haha. Who’s the legend that posts how many games each team has coming up?
Last minute league, see if we can sneak in enough players.

Thanks for your help.
I have now changed Edwards to A Thompson.
I will look at replacing Simmons/Poole/Banchero.
