Did anyone get the football guide? Is it good? What exactly does the playbook do?

Hey Letangerang, the guide is full of projections, dynasty slants, idp slants, sleepers and rankings - though it's evolving all the time, too - another update due on Tuesday or Wednesday. I think if you've ever seen a magazine on the shelf at a store for $8-12 this is that type of quality, only current within a few days instead of something sketched together months ago. The guide is also written by gamers - so you may notice a grammar flaw, but you're getting good advice from veterans who have made $$$$ and won lots of leagues.

The playbook is a written version of a walk-through draft. Basically, in print, it's like a choose-your-own-adventure guide. For example, in round 1, draft the best available from this group (top 5 players if any are left), if not take one of THESE 3 players and if not, select from this best list (8 more players). After you make your choice, it simply tells you if you took a QB, go to page 3, if you took an RB, go to page 4 and if you ended up with WR, flip to page 5. Then it walks you through round 2 and helps you construct a team as you go - pointing out bye week conflicts, value and advice on what you can get later so you don't need to get early. I think it's a good intuitive way to learn how to draft if you don't have an ironclad method of how you want to draft or to walk a novice through how to build a competitive squad with depth and balance.

Hope you love them both!

When is the playbook going to be released? I bought it but when I try to download it it says too early...hold your horses?

We're trying to run that fine line between useful and not useful - but the playbook DEMANDS realistic ADP be used. It's literally a walk-through of what common leagues will look like and (especially early) it's crucial to get the approximate order close to correct. Recommending you take a RB in round 3 who will never be there isn't good advice! So, I've made the decision to hold off until early next week when we should have the first 500+ drafts results available through online resources and we can average those out to tweak the advice.

Expect to be downloading the full version on 8/14 and then regular updates as you get closer to your draft.

Hope this helps - trying to get the data useful and right now it's fuzzy ):

Is there a discount if I've purchased the Dobber hockey package?

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Look forward to play around with it and maybe do a few mock drafts to see what to expect. I am a hockey buff but always wanted to have a brilliant season in FF.

Downloaded the Guide this morning while at work. Lol...bad idea as I found myself wanting to read the whole thing at my desk. BUT I managed to put it aside, looking forward to perusing it this eve over a pizza and bottle of vino, while watching more preseason games.

Thanks Dyv & Crew!

There is a discount.

As per Dobber's Ramblings on August 6 - from Dobber himself: "Also, I stuck a 60% off coupon code in there for the football guide, if you’re into both fantasy sports."

I haven't bought the Hockey (or Football) Guides yet so I'm not sure what page this coupon code is on but apparently it's in the Hockey Guide.
