Today we're going to talk about a fantasy football superpower, one that we mentioned from time to time while doing our live drafts when we're talking about drafting itself.

0:27.3

We're going to dive a little bit deeper into it on this episode. It is drafting from back to front.

0:33.2

I remember Sean when I started out drafting, and obviously you're drafting longer than I have, but back in those early days, you know, and this is when it comes to, I guess, more casual players still, I'm sure. Those first, you know, two rounds, three rounds or what everyone used to focus on with mock drafts, with so on and so forth.

1:53.3

We obviously drafted an underdog.

1:55.1

We drafted multiple tournaments over at the FFPC with the Superflex tournament and the regular best all tournament there.

The three formats have very different elements to them.

2:08.6

And the opportunities you kind of prepare for that and to work backwards through it

2:14.2

and to understand what positional allocations you're going to need,
