Fantasy 08-09 Building Thread

Thanks for the input all.

This is your leader speaking.

I'm in. I am happy with any format. I'm not really concerned with winning, so I don't spend a lot of time on (any) of my fantasy teams.

If you want to kick my butt, make the league complicated. If it's too simple, my superior GM skills will assert themselves and devastate any and all opponents.

End transmission.

I'd be in again, and any format is fine with me.

The baseball reference was Jammer being his obnoxious and petty self and kicking me when I was down because my baseball team thinks it's a football team with all the injuries in the first two weeks of the season.

blah blah blah.... nobody touches me for injuries..... i would have been better off making sure i didn't draft anybody in the top 100 players..... OF SS 3rd injuried and the few folks who arn't injured i kinda wish would be lol

I guess I don't like the idea of weekly. But limitting overall roster moves should keep people from streaming their players, right?

How To Start a Keeper League Hockey Pool

Rules - Keeper Leagues


I'd love to try a keeper league!!!

I checked these out and still didn't find a ton of info on what happens if someone leaves, but I think it happens, so they have provisions for it.

It looks like it can get pretty complex though. You can institue salary caps and whatnot, which kind of takes away the fantasy if you ask me.

Before we go any further, is anyone opposed the the idea of a keeper league, and does anyone have any concerns about it.

[roscoe36]

Dispersal draft if someone leaves. Happened all of the time in the CFL during the 90s.

I don't know what a "keeper" league is.

I don't like the idea of a weekly league. I didn't like it in baseball and I don't think I would like it in hockey. Its not necessary, and its very frustrating when someone is hurt or playing poorly and you can't dump him.

I think the idea of doing a lot of homework is for the guys like Tater. Personally, I got fed up with homework when I was in college, 50 years ago. I'm retired now, have the time, but homework??? Get a life!!!

I'd be interested in giving a keeper league a try.
