I'd love to have a crack at a keeper league if a spot were available

Yep, spoils, score/score assists would be good at widening the player values to include the KPPs

Is there a way to have intercept marks rate higher than normal marks? That would benefit good defenders similar to spoils.

I’m very traditional with these games so my strong preference is to stick with the usual scoring system, but happy to go with what the majority wants.
If you are having a two division league with relegation/promotion I would be keen!
16 teams would need like squads of 40.. and perhaps only best-18 on field (5/5/1/5/3)?
21 round season plus 2 week Final season (top 4).. three go up/three drop down - meaning 'dead rubber' playoff between 3vs4 for div 2 means something!
Sorting out divisions could be done with average player squad rankings - lowest 8 start in top etc..

But what happens with the draft the following year? The same problem arises.
Would become a bit messy, unless all 16 teams drafted together, rather than 8 and 8 in two drafts.

Spoils and 1%ers have always been my favourite stats. Shows you how hard players work that little edge.

For anyone that's got a few teams there's now a "multi-team discount"
I think all teams draft together. I assume they trade together too.

There's a lot of us in here from the 2 main leagues pinned at the top. Then there's a few from some old leagues we had. I think you'll find we will want more categories. It will I think end up that way if it can be done on a free version. Though I'm happy to pay up.
did you see me?

I am struggling to see how it will work keeper format. Who gets pick #1 - bottom of division 2? Also, with so many keepers, if you start bad you will likely stay bad for a long time which means people will jump off and leave zombie teams.
Works for a redraft format though.
I also like to idea of spoils and 1% being included, good to have variety in the leagues.

I agree. In theory love it. But the reality is it would be loads of off-line work.
I more want a league with added categories

Also I've suggested maximum 14 teams. What are others thoughts?
Or go to 16 with reduced squads and lineups like tenderwarrior suggested

Two divisions just means the draft is done off-line and lists added manually at the start of each year..
I would only be interested if it was over two divisions due to the novelty factor

The app supports fixture customisation as a paid thing and it’s not ready yet so I dunno if it is what you are after.

Extra categories not novelty enough?

I'm happy either way. 14 teams has worked out well in the other leagues, but 16 gives the opportunity for promotion / relegation, if not this year but in future years. I don't think we'd need to reduce list sizes though from 44 as the real comp has 18 teams @ 44, so there would still be a minimum of 88 players in the free agency pool.
You're right though, it would be a paid feature if it is supported at this stage.
I'm happy with 14 or 16 teams though and strongly support increased categories to give more value to forwards and defenders. If payment is needed, I'm ok with that too.

There are options. We just need to decide on a system and stick with it.
Perhaps the order is determined by points for.
Assuming 2 leagues of 8, perhaps we look into a lottery system for all teams that missed finals.
Keeper teams that start bad can turn things around and it doesn’t have to take long. Often they start bad by design, because they’ve drafted young. Smart trading, good drafting, and a bit of luck can change fortunes very quickly.

16 x 44 is 704 players allocated though. Good drafting after year 1 would be critical.
