I'll probably end up being Commish next year, although I'll happily defer to anyone else who wants it. But if I am Commish, for sure I'll put a limit on the moves. No more than 65...I do want people to have roster flexibility, and to be able to "Tater" now and then, but it should eliminate the playoff problems. If enough people think 65 is too many, we can lower it further a bit.
So if a guy sucks and Taters early to get in, he won't get far. If he's good and needs to Tater later...so be it. Is that reasonable? |
Who am I kidding, I'm a fantasy whore. I'm sure I'd be playing next season either way, especially since hockey is probably my favourite fantasy game.
In a perfect world (for me), I'd like to see 40 -50 max moves. But I'm sure that's a bit low for most people's liking. Fifty moves would work out to an average of about 2 moves per week (assuming a team goes all the way to the finals). Exactly half of our current teams would be under a 50 move limit as of right now (with Roscoe just slightly over with 55 moves).
I find that the lower the cap, the more strategy that is involved. "Do I use one of my moves for short term gain", "Do I use them early to try and get a strong start", "Do I save them for the playoffs", "Do I hang on to some in case of injury", "Do I hang on to a few incase someone I really like gets dropped" etc. etc.
Our current league is really polarized as far as # of transactions goes. Four teams are well over 100 moves, while 5 teams are under 50. Number of moves isn't a factor in standings either, with 2 of the +100 teams in the top of the league, and 2 at the bottom.
I smell a poll coming on!
I'm sure I'm in the minority in my thinking, but that's ok. I'm Canadian!
