To change the draft order in ESPN Fantasy, follow these steps as the League Manager:
-
Access Your League
Log in to your ESPN account and navigate to your fantasy league for the sport you are managing. -
Open League Manager Tools
Click on the "LM Tools" tab (League Manager Tools) from your league homepage. -
Edit Draft Settings
Under the "Draft Tools" section, select "Edit Draft Settings."
Here, ensure the draft order setting is set to "Manually Set by League Manager" instead of randomized. Save this change. -
Edit Draft Order
After setting the draft order to manual, go back to "LM Tools" and click on "Edit Draft Order."
You can now drag and drop teams to reorder them as you prefer or use the "Randomize Order" button to shuffle the order randomly.
Once you arrange the draft order, click "Save Changes." -
Confirm and Inform
Make sure all league members are aware of the updated draft order before the draft begins.
This process can be done on the ESPN website or through the ESPN Fantasy app, where the interface allows you to drag the teams into the desired draft positions easily
. If the draft has already started or completed, you may need to reset the draft to change the order, which will undo all picks and allow you to set the draft order again before redrafting
. In summary, the key is to set the draft order to manual in the draft settings, then edit the draft order by dragging teams into the desired sequence and saving the changes
