Leagues Keeper Fantasy - Brand new keeper league - EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

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

38 list would be better with 16 teams..

To me the beauty of the new site is letting it do the work for us to make it easy to join another comp
If manual work was then created on top it takes that away, but if someone is committed to make it work I do like the idea of 2 divisions

Agreed, think you could go even further down to 35.

5-7-1-5
4 bench
13 reserves

I love larger squads but if we’re doing divisions, somethings gotta give…

While I'd also like to have two divisions, the issue post-draft becomes that the same free agents are available in both leagues.

So throughout the year, those players will be added/dropped, etc. And by the end of the year, two teams going up or down can't have those same players on lists the following year.

The only ways around it that I can think of:

• No free agents are allowed to be picked at all each year.
• If any free agent is picked up that year, they go back into the draft pool the year after for all.
• Some kind of priority system that a lower team from div 2 gets the waiver instead of div 1 by the end of that season.

There's probably loopholes and asterisks in this somewhere, which is kinda why I think it's best to avoid something that has problems before we've even made a keeper league.

Would mean someone has to be available to do manual google work. Then they have a kid and we are screwed IMO

No, before they have the kid is when they are screwed. (Sorry everyone, I couldn't resist it!)

Seriously though, it is looking like 2 x 8 team leagues might be more trouble than it's worth at this stage and that it might be better to stick with 14 team in one league imo. Promotion / relation system may be something that the developer looks at in the future once he nails down Keeper's operation.

Most of the leagues I'm in a large on field numbers, I'd enjoy trying the different tactics of a but smaller

I think what everyone is in agreeance is that we want something different to BDFL and PRC.

Just an idea, but could we look at something like have lists of 40, but only keep 30, so something.

Would mean the draft is a bit bigger each year but it opens up regeneration of team lists sooner in a way and reduces dominance from a handful of teams.

I don’t know what BDFL and PRC are.

We could look at bigger lists, I’m a fan of deep leagues, but it’d kill off the promotion and relegation aspect.

 

[Zim^zuM]

Other categories available for free.

I personally like the idea of larger squads, just way more categories meaning you don't need to win the half back lottery. I don't like.the idea of guys with good drafting and list management having to delist good players because u need to find 10 to drop.

Look at the sticky threads in this subsection

BFDL = Bigfooty Dynasty League
PRC = Paul Roos Cup

Two long running category leagues, each slightly different.
