Here's How To Set Your Pre-Draft Rank Lists

[Greg Ambrosius]

We would love to make it as easy as possible to set up YOUR own player default lists for NFFC Online drafts this year. We've talked about allowing owners to download our pre-draft lists and to rank them accordingly on Excel and then upload those lists back onto our site, but it's a little tougher that way since each player has a Sport Radar Player ID. We will look into that if needed, but let's show you what we have available first.

For any NFFC team that you currently have on your My Teams page that hasn't drafted yet, click on that team link.

Then go to Draft in the green navigational bar and pull down to Pre-Draft Rank List.

Create a name in the New Name List to identify this list (i.e. Online Championship).

Then click on Create List.

There you can click on Top 250 and our current ADP with the Top 250 players will flow into the work area.

You can easily drag players up or down to reorder this list and then hit Save.

You can actually make up to 20 different lists and Save them. This helps if you want separate lists for the Online Championship, Cutline Championship, Draft Champions, Classic, Primetime or anything else. You can easily add players to these lists or edit them whenever you want. The initial ranking may take a little time, but having the current ADP as your Top 250 certainly helps. And once you have your lists done, you can copy them to create other lists and easily edit them any time you want.

This way YOUR player default lists are in every Online draft room. Again, a little time at the beginning goes a long way during the drafting season.

Hope this helps. We look forward to feedback on how we can make this even better and if this helps out as is. Thanks all and good luck.

Greg,

At some point over the past few years we were able to do these ranks by position, which is extremely helpful at least for me. That functionality seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle over the last year, that was a huge benefit to be able to put in order that way. I see almost no value in ranking a top 250, let me know if this is something that will get added at some point or not?

Thanks

I’ll second this suggestion, would be a huge help if this can be done by position this year.

Sure, let me ask about this and see if we can implement it.

If anyone else wants this feature for the pre-draft rankings please post here. We are gauging the interest and the time needed to sort by position with the IT guys. Thanks.

We're still discussing adding this feature but there is a workaround within the draft room. Once you load your personal list that becomes the default list for your draft. At that point you can click on positions and sort players in your queue. So this is a way to accomplish what you're looking for although we know ideally you want that functionality on the pre-draft ranking page itself.

I'm definitely still interested in being able to upload my own rankings. Shuffling them around in the pre-draft tool just takes too long, especially moving players up from waaaaay down in the default rankings.
