Drafting 7th in year 7? This must be good luck right?
Here we go, the seventh Rocky Horror Roto Show is nearly upon us. Here are the settings:
Yahoo, One year Roto, Daily lineups
No max moves/82 max games per positional slot

Everyone is back this year except that Shoeless and I are now managing separate teams, so we have 13 in our league this season. Great to have everyone back!
The live draft date has been set and will take place on Sunday, September 30th at 3pm Eastern.
The draft order has been randomised in advance and is as follows (will add team names as they are updated, likely post draft):
1 - temek ()
2 - Chili Con Carne ()
3 - PenguinHunter ()
4 - Pengwin7 ()
5 - Shoeless ()
6 - dooley89 ()
7 - 4T2 ()
8 - LordoftheRinks ()
9 - Atomic Wedgy ()
10 - horrorfan ()
11 - Maaaasquito ()
12 - YzermansLegacy () - defending champ
13 - The Comish ()
I look forward to using this thread as a basis of many discussions and updates. The draft results are posted for all to praise and ridicule.
However, main league issues are to remain on the league board.

Without me, it's only "aweso".

Miro Satan was a bit of a gimme!
An advantage of getting everything organised early: plenty of time to prepare for the draft.
A disadvantage of getting everything organised early: waiting for the draft.
Or over preparing! Like over preparing so much that you find a gem... a guy that you must have, and then each time you think about him, you move him up in your rankings... the further and further he moves up in your rankings results in a bigger and bigger reach when you finally do draft him on draft day.

One week to go!
Pick #10 is not easy - so many ways I can go and will depend on those just above me.
And then between my picks there is Ma, YL (defending champ) and Comish, there will certainly some interesting decisions to make throughout the draft.
Knowing this group, I'm working on plan b, c, d, e....
T-minus two days
Without me, it's only "aweso".
Know what(?)...
I think I settled on my pick at #4 overall...
