KEEPER LEAGUE TRADES, SMACK, SUGGESTIONS

As an outside party to the league i think def players would add alot to the league. Also any update on how you guys are going to fill that one open team???

Via a duel. High noon at Ford Field on the 50 yard line. Anyone who wants in can show up.

Honestly though I feel like I remember a waiting list. I'll search back through the thread and see who asked first.

Unless someone else knows already?

I assume you'd be game if we started a copy of this league like Micro offered?

We'd have at least three already between you, me and him- finding 9 more should be easy enough...

As an outside party to the league i think def players would add alot to the league.

Another outside view here.  I play in one dynasty league and two keeper leagues.  I commish three leagues - my office re-draft league, that dynasty league, and one of those keeper leagues.  I used to be against IDP (Individual Defensive Players), for a while actually.


Let me tell you this, though: you haven't played fantasy football until you play IDP.  It adds an entirely new element to fantasy football, and to watching an NFL game.  It also allows each owner to have a ton of freedom when building his team.  If you do it, don't go halfazz though.  None of this starting 1 DL, 1 LB, 1 DB.  Then everyone will have studs and it will be pointless.  Go with at least 2 starters at each of those positions, plus at least 1 D-Flex.  (My dynasty league starts 2 DL, 3 LB, 3 DB, & 3-D-Flex - 22 total starters).


Also make sure you have a good scoring system.  We tweaked ours a few times to get it just right and have a good balance between not only each IDP position, but with the offensive guys too.  I can throw out some scoring suggestions if y'all decide to go that way.


I would also suggest adding return yards stats to the league too, especially if you're worried about the talent pool drying up.  It turns some otherwise useless 4th string WRs into viable starting options, and it boosts a lot of CBs points too.


Lastly, if you do make any changes, I agree with the folks who think it would be unfair to switch during this offseason.  Any planned changes should go into effect when at the end of this season.

yes i would be game for a new one as well as the one we are talking about i do believe however that i was the first one who asked go back to the last page i could be wrong however though

I'm OK with IDP, but don't want to make it super-complicated the first year.  A few players is fine and let's keep the scoring standard.  Question - do we keep the current D/ST scoring as well where we have a team defense?   I currently have two team defenses as keepers.

Second league, keeper instead of dynasty, is fine.

Trade anouncement:

Green St. Hooligan has traded Michael Turner to Destroyers for Michael Vick.

My vote is we a a DT/DE, LB and DB, but still keep a standard D/ST as well.

That would add 3 more roster spots to fill with a defensive player from each level without disrupting our current D/ST format...

I guess I don't understand why we need to change the league.  What is so wrong with the format we have now?  Didn't we all sign up for the current format we have now?  I am against the IDP addition, especially since we created our team based on the knowledge that IDPs weren't being used.  Why not just create a new league for those that love IDPs?

For the record, I've played in IDP leagues before, I simply don't like em.  I don't think they're very fun, regardless of the positive spin Lazy tries to put down.

I agree that it would be a pain to switch to an IDP format without an entire new draft, I was just throwing my two cents out there.

Whatever...

I am in complete agreement and do not want to overcomplicate things with all these extra players.  I was not aware of what IDP actually meant.  I was thinking we drafted maybe 3 players with a scoring system that made it really intriguing to decide whether a DE was better than a LB or a CB.  I have no desire to suddenly draft 8 more players and have to track them as well  I am perfectly fine with the way the league is now. 

ok my question is am i the one replacing gnp in the first league?

so what exactly is going on now? are we expanding? contracting my junky team? staying the same?

We are keeping the original, and creating a new one.

ATTENTION ALL LEAGUE MEMBERS.....MATT STAFFORD IS ON THE TRADING BLOCK!

I'm not even in the league, but that is INSANITY......After all the bitching about Stafford and not Curry your willing to put him on the block zwic? This better be a sick joke.

Second league, keeper instead of dynasty, is fine.

Is it going to be on yahoo?

Is it going to be on yahoo?

It'll be either there or ESPN.  I don't want it to get confused for the original "Dynasty" league, especially since there may be guys from the original in this one as well.

I will be making a thread about the new league in just a bit.
