anyone in a European timezone fancy starting a new dynasty league? Fancy a draft league but don’t really want to take on anyone else’s detritus!

Tim Beckham nice 3 position type guy
Sly use of “Streaming Place” code gentleman.
Can’t access the draft board through the link above since I’m not in that league. Is it publicly available anywhere?
was going to ask the same thing – even if you create a log-in, it won’t load (‘missing customer ID’)
Aw dang, I thought that was public-facing. Lemme see if I can figure it out.
DVR tweeted this link and it’s working for me…but he said it was a mock – is that right or is this league for reals?

Thank you! I fixed it in the post now. My URL was slightly different.
It’s a play out league.
How much profit potential does Seager really provide at the 2/3 turn? If he goes 30-90-90-5-.310, which seems pretty optimistic, I’m not sure he provides much if any profit.
That’d be a fantastic season at the 2/3 turn tbh. Meanwhile, it’s not all about profit w/the early picks for me, but getting a bankable foundation of stats.
