The novice players don't have the knowledge of the depth players at draft time, so the deeper the draft goes the more it advantages those of us who more into the game and do the research and mock drafts. Those depth players end up being the waiver wire pick ups, which the novice player will get to know week to week during the season after injuries and break outs. If the draft goes deep, most of these players will be unavailable.
If we were playing with all experienced players, then I'd have no problems with the extra flex positions and/or superflex. I think after a year, the novices will have got the hang of it and we can add the extra flex positions.
The other thing to consider is that most of the information readily available is for 10-12 standard leagues. Draft and then weekly waivers.

Thanks for all that.
Looks good to me. Even the FAAB. But a question: do we get a set $ amount for FAAB which is meant to last the season? Or is it something else?
On the pre-draft list:
I go to the league page, click on "players" and get this:
Am I in the right place?
When I click on the "+" to the left of a player nothing happens.
I can add players to my"watchlist": I click on their name then in the resultant pop-up on the star to the right of their name.
Is my "watch list"my "queue"? If not, where do I find the queue?
Sorry if I'm being slow.

All good now. Thanks for your help @KLo30; @kennychao
I loaded Sleeper on to my i5 and had a play. Figured out how to do what I wanted,
Then used what I learnt to do the same on my laptop.
It was pretty obvious once I knew but somehow I'd missed it.
Yep, sometimes I am slow.

Also, surprised no one asked about the draft order
When we finalise the league (12 teams or 14) - currently at 10, I’ll do a 100 yard dash with everyone’s names on it (there’s a site for it)
Whoever finishes first will get pick 1 & second will get pick 2 and so forth
Generally been fair with this system - so hopefully you guys are ok with it!
EDIT: I should have been clearer, draft slots 1-12 will be determined by the dash. Standard snake draft is still what we’re using

It’s definitely beneficial going into the draft knowing your position beforehand, otherwise your mock drafts will be impossible to run. Slot 1 v Slot 12 is very different as your range of players available will vary significantly
We can set draft position well before the actual draft night - so everyone can be prepared. I hope this will be beneficial for everyone as well 🙂.
Still on the look out for another 2 (or 4) coaches/teams. Currently 10 teams in the league atm!

Agree with @kennychao on this: knowing your draft position well in advance of the draft really helps in preparation.
At pick #12 you know your are not going to get any of the top RBs/WRs but you will get two chances at the 2nd tier ones.

I've tried to contact a couple of guys who've played RDT fantasy with us, Don't know whether they'd be interested or not.
