I don't, and can't recall how many times I am searching in another window, or even have only one window up while I am searching for a position, or adding players from the left side. Regardless while doing this, if I do not manually hit the refresh button every so often it does not take. I even hit refresh, and remember doing so before my pick was even up on the clock. I sorted my preferred guy #1, over the previous #1. Basically I just switched the order of two guys, then I hit refresh. When my pick goes I refresh again several times waiting for the app to say I got my expected guy. However I got the original #1. This has happened to me COUNTLESS times. I am in way too many leagues, but this game is still very new to me too. I started maybe two months ago if that in the middle of the mfn70 draft. There should be an auto refresh like googledrive, or googledocs uses to cover people's asses. Especially as you get further into the draft. I currently have two minutes to pick. THe time can be off too. I can think it my pick is several picks away, or my guy that is already off the board is taken. This could all be aleviated if you didn't have to manually refresh. I mean look at it this way. Who really wants to be in the player search window looking for a punt returner, and have to add a player to the queu, then hit the back button, and then add again. Not to mention the guy goes to the bottom. Now that there's anything wrong with that part per say, but the time I have until my pick is due, players I think I got, and especially and most importantly (to me at least) when I believe I am getting my guy, when I have manually put him at number one, and I don't get him due to the time being off, or more importantly not hitting refresh is mind-bogglingly frustrating.

This just happened to me. I love this game, I truly do, (JSB has made, and is improving on an already great, AND most importantly free to play game) but this happens like at least once a day to me in the last three drafting days, and it really blows.

One final thing before I end this, (yes I am editing now an already posted post...don't judge) I have a lot of time on my hands, due to health issues when I finished yesterday's allocation draft in 72 and made my 46th and final pick, I sat and watched several more picks go by till there were only like 7 left. I looked at my screen, took several screenshots, and I had well over 30 players I was interested in (in varying levels of course) still listed. I realize some people hate lists, and some people count on them, and some people do a mixture of both. I sometimes have people listed for several days even guys I plan on getting with my final few picks, so I value it highly. This refresh problem, and getting the wrong guys is really a huge issue for me.

Are you sure it's not your internet or browser? I have used almost every type of way while drafting and never had any of these problems except maybe once or twice a player stayed on the board for an extra pick. Never have I had to push refresh or back, the player has always automatically been selected on its team right after the clock hits zero.
