Fantasy 2022 - EMPIRE League - Discussion

[Exe Gesis]

Where is the world famous GG.exe mock draft of the first round with 10 defensive players going in it?

I do feel people are ignoring IDPs in the "tier one and tier two" category. It's not JUST top 7 and offense only.

So do i, especially those with top 4 picks. (Note: I'm picking at 5)

I've been stocking up on idp rookies previously

There should be a few taken at the back end of the 1st round imo

CBs are always tricky, not worth drafting high, good ones are often shutdown corners who may not score well (given lack of a specific scoring rule in MFL that Fleaflicker has to boost them)....but LB, DE, S, and DT are more draftable, the good ones = good fantasy points.

I dunno, maybe 1-2 DTs, maybe 5 or so DEs, maybe 3 LBs, 3 safeties...could be argued to be near equal as some offensive prospects anywhere from early 1st thru to late 2nd in terms of MFL scoring, year one production.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

CBs are too hard to predict scoring on year to year, there are a few reliable good ones like Kenny Moore but the rest are a crapshoot imo.

This is what I was going to say. Plus I think there’s some RB value

Yep, i expect all selections in the first two rounds to be fantasy contributors, fantasy franchise players, regardless of position.

 

[drd23]

This isn't you WRU666, is it?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

What Miami fans don't realise is that they are the sensitive ones with people living rent free in their head.

 

[Exe Gesis]

I must be the exception. Im fully aware Tua is on the brink of bustville

 

[WRU666]

Sounds like me. Make or break for Tua This year. GG is right, he’s on the brink but it could go either way

I probably jinxed him owning him in Empire, now that he's on your team, he'll go gangbusters.

Should have listened to uncle ADP when he told you not to trade for him last offseason

Worked out well tho, as you've turned lemons into lemonade somehow.

Especially proud of the 6th rounders

Nothing gets you going more than finding a gem in the sixth round does it?

I pretend or believe I'm really good at it

[arakaan]

Why do people want Kenny Moore so badly.

Should've put a 1st against him.

 

[Blacky]

Will trade 2.08 for a decent Lb

Ex Wolfe Pack LB Lavonte David is available just for you

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

WRU had good some good ones available, said it a few pages back.

Glad to see its a topic on undisputed.

This points adjustment by @gg is a little ridiculous. So Burrow for example has dropped 46 (15%) points this under new revised system as just small sample size. Most offensive players have dropped 10% (QBs more) in points.

No change in defence. Who the f*** voted for this? Balance was fine and further into defence is too much. More defence equals more luck ..as been recently discussed with CBs.
Either we take it to a vote for 75% for changes or take it back to last season which was fine in the first place.

I don’t want to play in a league that is too defensive dominant.

Defense isnt dominant at all. The whole thing was about balance when setting up the league and thats still true. Offense is still scoring more than defense. It just needed adjustments here and there, some things out of whack, some were errors fixed, some were algorithms tweaked by 0.01.

Still the same concept and same ranges exist....

200-300 = offense, with the top at each position pushing thru to 350-400.

150-200 = defense, with just a few all-world players pushing that to 250-300.

100-150 = kickers/punters.

What that means is that all the average/meh players across offense and defense reflect each other. Thats where the balance shows. Bring up the page all players together ranked from top to bottom, score wise, and you cant argue that kupp, allen, brady, rodgers, j.taylor, kelce, adams, chase, donald, watt, parsons, heyward, and such names in the top 30 or so fairly accurately reflect their status as elite players that season at their positions, and nothing extremely out of whack score wise. And then scrolling down to the 50 or so range, and seeing average players at QB, WR, LB, etc all fairly accurately reflected ranking wise.

I didnt make defense better than it was. I re-assessed the regularity of NFL stats over the last five years (tackles, passes defensed, hits, tackles for loss, etc) and tweaked algorithms like 0.01 here and there so the IDPs re-balanced between themselves.

The new scoring result is that DEs and ILBs score a little better than they used to, DTs score a little less than they used to...but still that range of 150-200-ish for the above average to top IDPs.

Instead of the top range DTs being 170-250, DEs and ILBS being 120-150, S being 150-200, CBs being 130-160....theyre now 150-200-ish more uniformally.

IDPs who have mvp seasons like donald and watt break thru the ceiling of their peers and score 270-300. Just like Kupp at WR with an mvp season breaks thru the ceiling of his peers (200-300) and scores 397. That still existed before but things arent out of whack like they were previous seasons.

Its not as bad as you think. QBs barely changed. Burrow is more a one out of the box than the norm. Brady went up around 8% & Jimmy G + 5% for me
