Re: Happy About a Trade

If I were one of the other 12 owners I would pretty much give up on that league. I mean, what's the point of slowly building up a competitive roster if someone just hands it on a plate to what I'm guessing is already the best team? The worst part is it'll help that team to stay at the top even longer.

Re: 16 Team Dyno Startup Draft Help

Cam is worth more than any of those RBs that went in the top 8. For sure grab another QB in the 2nd. I'd even take one in the 3rd too if Manuel or Geno is still there, if only for the trade value.

Re: Interesting idea

I am interested in this league as well. Although I don't think there is anything you can do to make year one remotely fair, so I don't think you should bother trying to make it so. This is a good point. You don't want to sterilize the scoring system long-term just to help the start-up. You also don...

Re: IDP Rookie Owner - Where to go from here..

OMG! That is one helluva time-consuming league! Very different scoring for different positions - 3pt tackles for DL, 3pt pass defensed for DL, even the PPR varies. It would take weeks to get your head round that scoring. And 50 man rosters plus 6 taxi spots. That's almost 3 times the number of start...

Re: IDP Rookie Owner - Where to go from here..

I've only got one year IDP experience, but here goes. That doesn't look too bad to me, given the 16 teams and the extra picks next year. We need to know more about the scoring, not just tackles v sacks but also offense v defense, to know to what extent you can stash IDPs. Roster size too: 40-42 is p...

Re: Potential Points for non playoff teams

I would go through each regular season game, and calculate the score for the optimal line-up. Position by position, see which bench players outscored a starter, swap them in, and adjust the score accordingly. Fixed positions first, then flex. That would give you the true optimal score. Maybe 3 hours...

Re: Potential Points for non playoff teams

That's exactly what I'm thinking. It's as good a way as any to determine draft order, and it eliminates tanking.

I'm also thinking it wouldn't be so time-consuming to do it manually. One three hour session in February should do it. We're only doing it for the non-playoff teams, right?

Re: 2 QB dynasty start ups?

I don't think you should focus too much on ADP for similar leagues. Instead, look at the points scored in established leagues. I think you'll find that the QB20 was in the top 30-35 overall. This tells you that you need to move QBs way up your draft board. If you could get 1.7+2.4 for 1.2+5.2 (4.9 i...

Re: Bigger than football: Why we should not roster bad guys

Aaron Hernandez is a bad guy who has clearly done some bad things. Should we as responsible, concerned citizens take a stand against crime, lawlessness, and gangs by refusing to roster and support these NFL thugs? Should we even be debating holding a potential murderer? Should we only roster high c...

Re: Potential Points for non playoff teams

I'm not really clear what you mean here. Potential points "scored" during the playoffs, for teams that don't have games scheduled. or Maximum potential points ('optimal score') through the regular season, but you only want to calculate it for non-playoff teams? or something else? If it's t...

Re: Rankings pages not working in Firefox

It's working fine for me in Firefox, Chromium and Opera. But that's on a Linux machine.

Could it be your Flash plugin for Firefox that's the problem?

Re: IDP Fantasy Football - no love?

I like idp and have been in a league for about 4 years now. I think one problem is the scoring varies so much from one league to the next . If there was a more set scorin system, I think there would be more interest. I think you may have hit the hammer on the nail there. For the majority that may b...
