So that makes 7 (including me) sending over the email and I have sent an invite from the ESPN Fantasy site.
@domtheone@andyparksy@DiagnosticzIf you 3 can please send me a PM with your email as soon as possible so we can get the draft set.
We only need 1 more for this to run and the start of the season is fast approaching. (6th Sept)
We probably want to draft between Monday 20th August and Sunday 2nd Sept.
So I am going to have a cut off for getting me the email on the 19th August (hopefully allowing enough time for holidays as it's that time of year.) so that I still have time to recruit a friend or two outside of us lot. (If this feels unreasonable please let me know).
So in other news I have set up the league very much like I have for previous years.
I feel that the standard team roster is not actually much fun, so I have made a few changes to keep the season interesting.
1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
2 Flex (WR/RB/TE)
1 Def
1 Kicker
4 Bench
2 Injured Reserve
The default was 1 flex and 7 bench.
I have always hated the hording mentality and also the missing points so another Flex drains the player pool 4 bench covers keeping enough players to be useful but the 2 IR slots means a bench slot is not taken if you get any injury on the team that you want to hold and not release to the player pool.
I have also added in the scoring 0.5 for both Kick off and Punt returns making some of the smaller RB/WR that are normally low scorers a bit more relevant and can actually be a game changer for a good game. It is also 0.5 per reception so if they are targeted but don't make many yards after the catch, they can also score a few points.
These are minor adjustments to the standard fantasy scoring, but should make the 2nd/3rd string RB and WR more valuable and it's not just one great scoring RB per team and the others who may have good real world games but 0 fantasy relevance.
I am open to suggestions but thought it was a good place to start.
Also thought we could be a bit more "friendly" this year and have a chat group on What'sApp or Telegram for those that want to join in. |
