Re: New to the platform, just created a league. How are drafts done? Can you do it manually, pick by pick? Or do you have to draft using an auto-queue?

One pick at a time and you can edit your queue up until your clock hits 0:00

Also, a major difference between this and fantasy gm is that 32 owners play and manage against each other IN THE SAME LEAGUE. You don’t necessarily have to make and try to populate an entire league on your own or play 1 human against 31 computers. I really suggest finding an open team in an existing league to get a feel for everything before trying to set up everything from scratch on your own.

One minor correction to this: if a league falls below 16 or 17 human owners, the league will pause until it gets back above the threshold, so you can't really do 1 human vs 31 AI.

That is true, our leagues need humans for at least half the teams. I was trying to clarify that other football sims, like fantasy gm, don’t let you pick an individual team in a prior created league. they make you create an entire league first, so on their sites it is you against the world and no other humans interfere. I can kind get their point, (in theory everyone is on a level playing field against AI), but I’d rather test my skills against real opponents, not just compare records against computers
