Amateur Entry Draft/Free Agents

Lordofbrewtown · 12-17-2017, 12:44 AM

I started a new Fictional League, and just had the Amateur Entry draft. When completed, NONE of the undrafted players became free agents. I'm concerned that as I proceed I will run out of players if this persists.

I'm guessing (hoping?) I have a setting incorrect. I did have the amateur entry draft before the regular season began, and after spring training began - not sure if that timing would have somehow affected things/caused the issue.

Anyone with any ideas on this?

A few.
I have put the draft in the same timeframe and had no problems. I do not think that is it.
1) Just to be sure, check the filters on your FA screen. I have had filters that excluded all players by accident.
2) Where there any strange ages in the draft pool like everyone was 18 and right out of high school?
3) Where there undrafted players? Did you see them or are you assuming?
That is off the top of my head.

Good luck,
Tom

Thanks for the reply - I appreciate any/all ideas:

1) No filters were/are on in the free agent screen.
2) Ages of draft available players generally ranged from 17-23. I do not remember if all undrafted players may have been 18 or under - I do not think so.
3) There should have been @ 80 extra players after the draft. I am playing as commissioner, and viewed every draft pick for every team - so am 100% confident on # of players that should have been undrafted & filtering into the free agent pool.

My year 2 draft is coming up/I should get to in the next week or so - I'll see if anything is different. I did move the draft up for year 2 to take place before Spring Training starts.
