Beastmix Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 So, controversial finish to a lot of leagues this season, but we have no need for an asterisk here, so congrats to Rhys! Thanks to all for a fun, and relatively drama-free, season. Although I feel like the points system has worked perfectly well, I've noted the few bits of feedback we did receive throughout and we'll put them to a poll in a few months time. Here's what we do have, for open discussion in the meantime: 1: 0.25 points per carry should be awarded to RBs 2: PPFD (point per first down) instead of PPR 3: Addition of a line backer spot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for taking on the chalice @Beastmix, a sterling job done and bring on next season. Is it worth agreeing the draft order now so we don't have to delay mock draft season? Let me know if I've got anyone wrong here: 1. It Ertz When Eifert @Brumerican 2. Watership Brown @Xela 3. Cleveland Frowns @Hornso 4. Self Isolate @Dante_Lockhart 5. Lancs Villans @LancsVillan 6. The Brown Stuff @Tubby 7. Great Olof's Vikings @sexbelowsound 8. Area 51 ETs @abdomlahor 9. Amnesiacs @Beastmix 10. Punters Unanimous @rjw63 11. MAQ Attack @maqroll 12. Rhys @rhyscartwright_avfc With regards to the suggested point changes, my early opinion on those: RB - yes PPFD - no, keep PPR just less points i.e. 0.5 or 0.75 LB - not for me this, an added level of complexity that has the danger to take the fun out of it a bit. A suggestion - change the flex to W/T only, just to spread the RBs out. Edited January 6, 2023 by Tubby 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 I sort of like the current flex options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I’ve said it before, but personally I see no point in setting the draft order based on last season’s record. I’m not that bothered really but it makes more sense to just have it randomised. Point scoring wise, in a league as deep as this I think a true PPR format would be better to let receivers operate on a more even field with the backs. Another enjoyable season. Great job @Beastmix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted January 7, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 7, 2023 Don't agree with randomised order at all And I've been at both ends of it. As for flex I think the three options worked well this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm against it myself... and, by the looks of it, quite a few of us feel the same.

It works in the real NFL (theoretically) because of the nature of what it is. It only works in fantasy dynasty leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically it should work if those that finished top, agree that the balance could/should tip in subsequent seasons. Picking 12/13 in a snake is possibly a stronger position than 1/24 imo. The cream always rises to the top regardless. Edited January 8, 2023 by Tubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason the option even exists is for dynasty leagues... unless we want to start one of those from this season... [/DevilsAdvocate] In theory, you're going to have half the league with the premium pick for each position. It makes things far less competitive.

maqroll Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 I like preset to the previous years final standings. Adds to a sense of continuity and gives the last few teams in the standings some hope for the upcoming season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Speaking of continuity.... We might consider making this a keeper league by allowing each manager to retain one player from the previous year (and losing the draft pick from the round in which that player was picked)...
