1. Log into Yahoo Fantasy Football
The first step in setting up an auto-draft in Yahoo Fantasy Football is to log into your Yahoo account. Once logged in, navigate to the Fantasy Football homepage and click on the “Leagues” tab. From here, select the league for which you want to set up the auto-draft. On the league page, you will find the “Settings” tab.
Click on it, then select the “Auto-Draft” option. From here, you can configure the auto-draft settings, such as which players should be drafted in which positions and when the auto-draft should take place. When you have finished setting up your auto-draft, don’t forget to save your changes.
2. Access the League Settings
Once you have logged into your Yahoo Fantasy Football account and chosen your league, the next step is to access the League Settings. To do this, click on the “League” tab at the top of the page.
From there, you’ll need to locate the “Settings” tab and click on it. Once you have accessed the League Settings, you’ll be able to adjust the auto-draft settings for your league. You can also adjust other league settings, such as scoring rules, scoring periods, and draft order.
3. Select the Auto-Draft option
Once you have decided on which players to draft, it’s time to select the Auto-Draft option. This will allow Yahoo to do the draft for you. All you have to do is sit back and watch as Yahoo selects the best players available.
When you click on Auto-Draft, you will be prompted to set up your Draft Strategy. This allows you to customize the way Yahoo drafts your team by setting up criteria such as which positions to prioritize, which players to target, and which players to avoid. You can also set up “sleepers” – players you want Yahoo to draft only if they are available late in the draft. Once you are satisfied with your settings, click “Set Auto-Draft” to begin the drafting process.
4. Choose the draft strategy
Once you have your league set up and your league players have all joined, it’s time to choose your draft strategy. In Yahoo Fantasy Football, you have four options: Live Draft, Auto pick Draft, Offline Draft, or Snake Draft. Live Draft is the standard option where all of the league players are connected in a live draft room and take turns selecting players for their teams.
Auto pick Draft is an automated draft option that allows the computer to select players for your team in the order of your pre-rankings. Offline Draft is when you and your league players meet at a predetermined place and time to draft players, and Snake Draft is similar to an Offline Draft, but the order of the draft changes each round.
5. Set the auto-draft to start at a designated time
Setting the auto-draft to start at a designated time is a great way to make sure that you are able to join your fantasy football league and make the decisions you want for your team. To do this, navigate to the ‘My Team’ page in Yahoo Fantasy Football, then select ‘Set Auto-Draft’ from the drop-down menu.
At the bottom of the page, select the time and date you would like the auto-draft to start. Make sure to save your settings, and you’re all set! Now your auto-draft will start at the designated time, and you can be sure that you won’t miss out on making the decisions that will help your team get the most success.
Conclusion
In conclusion, setting an auto draft in Yahoo Fantasy Football is a simple process that will make your life easier on draft day. Just remember to set up your draft list, turn on auto draft, and keep an eye on your team’s progress. With the right strategy, you can have a successful draft and be well on your way to a winning fantasy football season.
