Draft room opens 30 minutes before the draft

Hope so Matt. Once I make my first pick, I'll check to see if it shows in Yahoo. If so, then all is good, if not..... semi panic time

I *think* you will be able to get into the Yahoo draft room and see a red button for "Launch FP Draft Assistant" on the left. At least that is how it has presented when I ran some Yahoo Mock Drafts and fired up the Draft Wizard for them.

So you may have better luck being in Yahoo have having the FP Draft Wizard overlayed on the Yahoo draft room.

I don't see a red button but hopefully it will work. I'll know after the 1st round. If I have to I'll click on the auto button

If you are in the Yahoo draft room, you can also open your FP account in a different window, go to your "My Leagues" page, there you should see "2026 Cards Talk Invitational" with a blue button to the right that says "Draft Assistant." Click the button and check the Yahoo page to see if the Draft Wizard opened over there.

I just got my internet connection back. I had auto pick for my first selection. I wouldn’t have taken DeLaCruz. Oh we’ll have to recover.

Well FantasyPro has me in 7th spot and Matt in 1st

I’m dead last, which seems promising

Have to assume FantasyPros drafted for Matt, again

Looks like it has me in 12th. Yuck

I think the homer award has to go to ARCY, drafting Gorman in the 16th round.

Having more information to work from is always good. But I didn't use just their "expert recommendations." Can't really in league as deep as 15 teams, I think. I think I only drafted their "best available" recommendation about 50% of the time, IIRC.

CPC - did you intentionally draft 5 SS, or was there some auto-drafting in there?

[Dazepster]

Had issues with the player queue and was unable to see more than a handful of players at a time. And in some cases none at all.

Browser issue possibly.

Had to rely on auto pick in a few cases where I no longer had any players lined up in my queue. Tovar was one of them. Hey CPC, I may need one of your 5 shortstops. Lol

He was banned over a year ago, so this may not be the best place to ask

LOL, thanks.
