Ok...This has probably been asked and from what I can gather..Fantasy has huge problems. I will track back and try to find if anyone has the same problem. Sorry if this has been asked or mentioned earlier.

There is a problem with viewing the Head to head fixtures and ladder... Anyone else experiencing the same problem? I can't seem to see anything. It's coming up as..... League is not scheduled.

3 - I don't think that was a bigfooty decision. I was checking The Official Adelaide Crows group and The Champion Data group I'm in, and both only have two rounds that have counted which seems rather stupid, something we've all grown accustom to.

The Champion Data group I'm in started from round 1. Oh well.

Sorry, you're right about that, The Official Adelaide Crows one was from round 2 for some reason which sucks given I had a strong first round.

Is your league full? I had 12 of 18 in, and thought the rest would be filled with randoms but it wasn't. I've now changed it to a 12 person league to start head-to-head next round, it now has a countdown timer instead of 'not scheduled'.

Exact same thing happened to me. I got an email saying they would auto add players if our league wasn't filled but sure enough they didn't do that and our league didn't start.

I added Celebrity players, hoping that would get the league started but it still says the league is not scheduled.

Tried to do what you did and change the players to 12 rather then 18 but it's not letting me as it's saying I've got 18 players in the league now so I've tried to delete the celeb players and it's not allowing that. Saying " You cannot delete this player "

Gone back to the league settings and changed the start round to round 4 rather then round 3 hoping it was click over, now it's saying " League cannot be started in round 4 due to having to many players "

What a bloody joke of a competition they are running. To make it worse I sent them an email about this on Friday night when I realised our league didn't start and I'm still yet to get a reply. Sent them a follow up email Monday arvo and still nothing

You're absolutely right. The leagues that are in question are not full...so this will be the problem here. I have no control of these leagues, so I can not change anything. I just hope the administrator/s of the leagues picks up on this. I also hope Fanhub can rectify this problem ASAP.

I also sent emails and tweets to Fanhub (makers of AFL Fantasy) so far no response. I guess some of us are not important for matters like this... I hope the DT Talk fella's can take it up and get things rolling. Fanhub should listen to them.

same thing happened to my league. Had 13 of 18, nothing happened. Cut it to 14, added Rory Sloan and now there is a count down

REALLY thought it would have just auto filled and started...........silly me

The DT Talk crew are on the AFL payroll now, you won't see them taking the official fantasy game to task.

I finally got an email back regarding our league that didn't start. There reply was " Sorry we don't think we can resolve your issue by the next lockout, maybe try and start a new league "

I've tried starting a new league and I'm getting constant errors.

F**king over it, AFL Fantasy can get f**ked. Off to Real DT I go

 

[danger_to_walker]

Any luck with this? I could have sworn that there was a popup message that appeared during the unlimited trade weeks just after you had clicked the make trade button asking you if you had considered the following dual position player swap options etc first (I didn't read it thoroughly/pay much attention to it at the time but I assumed that that was what it was on about).

Just worked this one out. You have to trade out the player with the dual position. In that example, trade out Langdon for Jaensch. It will then give you the option to trade out Michie and move Langdon to mids. Why? **** knows! That's why!

Thanks! Missed a trade last week because I couldn't figure it out.

Do the likes of 54Dogs SkankDanker LemmingMaster still play RDT/AFL Fantasy? Haven't seen you guys post on here in a while now although I don't check as many threads on this board as I used to so I might have missed it if any of you guys have posted.

 

[lah1996]

Does anyone know how many people actually play AFL Fantasy? I remember seeing it in round 1 but now I can't find it anywhere.

We all still play the game, if I am being honest, I don't really care for AFL fantasy, so that team I have no idea what is going on.

RDT - I think my team name is BlackSunEmpireAu? something along those lines.

Not doing amazingly, but I hope to move up the rankings over time. The main reason I am showing interest in that team is due to my yearly bet with Zerg, I'm getting sick of having to buy him beers!!!

I don't post on the DT boards anymore, I mainly read the Carlton board and drafting board, so you may see me lurking there.

I only managed to join 1 or 2 leagues his year as well, so that is crap.

First thoughts for RDT - Forwards are annoying. Rucks are painful. I have no idea about the byes. I am kicking Zergs butt. My midfield premiums are poo.


How are you going?

Yeah I can't figure out where that is either, very well hidden. Was hoping I could find a ranking history page to see my weekly/overall rankings but it doesn't appear to have one either.

We're on similar wave lengths with AFL Fantasy, as are a number of the 'older' fantasy players for that matter. My side looks like it only needs a few upgrades to be finished and we're just 4 rounds in. Just making trades before lockout without really looking at it which has done me rather well so far.

Think Zergs had a bit of rough luck early, I'm sure it'll be a close match up as I think they all have been in the past.

Be lucky to find someone that has had strong success in the forwards, mine have struggled, already having two non rookies already been the starting sub in Porps and Caddy.

Doing quite well at the moment after a disappointing 2013 season but it only takes a bad week for all of that to change, but I'll ride the wave for as long as I can.

And bad luck with Carlton... At least with you following the up and coming talent you'll have an idea of who the top end talent is and who Carlton might be a shot at getting (KP or a potential A grade midfielder, there's a few gaps to fill). Looking forward to the Crows being active in the early parts of the draft again after a couple of seasons now as well!

Has anyone else noticed the "Roll Back Your Team" button in Fantasy? Any idea what that does?

Quote from the traders article on the afl website:

The 'Roll Back Your Team' button joins Reverse Trades for those times that you would like to take your squad back to what it was at the start of the week. This is handy for reversing changes to your squad that includes dual position trades, emergencies, etc.

 

[theaflife]

Is there anyway to change the Elite settings now that our game has played 1 round. Mainly the fact we need to wait 24 hours for trades to go through?

 

[whattagun07]

Anyone have an Excel spreadsheet for this year? Got one from DT Talk last year which had 2012 and 2013 averages, positions etc, but can't find it this year.

 

[dave88]

Can anyone who has completed an AFL Elite draft post a completed draft board?

If not, what do you think the usual top 10 picks will be?

 

[kaiserchief13]

Anyone know where fantasy freako newsletter is?

Ours went like this. We have captains enabled which means people looking for captain double scorers. I know non captain leagues have more forward and backs taken earlier.

Round 1
Rockliff, Ablett, Jelwood, Barlow, Lewis, Pendlebury, Sidebottom, SJ, Beams, Priddis, S Martin, Heppell

Round 2
Malceski (i Know right), Jacobs, Kennedy, Treloar, Harvey, Bartel, D Martin, Goddard, Fyfe, Gray, Redden, Deledio

Round 3 started with Swan if you interested he was missed out.
Then Goldstein and Mumford went which started a panic and 6 rucks went this round

Hope that helps

So when i actually try to download the Excel sheet from DT Talk, only 2 players appear (N.Jetta and L.Jetta)
Anyone else had this issue?

Is this for draft leagues? If so, this might help - http://www.fantasyfootyclub.com/sho...Club-RDT-and-SC-Cheat-Sheets-Bonus-Team-Sheet

At the moment you need to create an account (takes a couple of minutes) to download the sheet/be able to view it (which is player rankings for each position), trying to remove the needing of an account to download it but we have to wait for the tech admin to get on so he can make the changes needed.

If that's not what you're after, fanfooty is handy for individual player averages.
