Start Up- Questions / Suggestions

Postby RoyalDynasty » Mon May 22, 2017 10:25 am

I am starting a new Dynasty League this year and wanted to get some answers from you all on the following questions and also see if you guys have any suggestions to implement. This will be my second Dynasty League but the first Dynasty League i will be the commish.

10 teams
25 man rosters with 2 IR
Current Starting Line ups 10 starters: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex (RB,WR,TE), Kicker and Def/ST

- Remove the kicker position and add an additional Flex? Yes/no?
- Taxi Squad or no? I have been debating this. If you say yes, I would appreciate if you elaborate on why and suggestions on how to manage/restrict the taxi squad.
- When do you think a Dynasty Start Up draft should be held? May, June, July, August? I know rookie drafts should be May/June but cannot decide when to hold the start up draft.

Thanks all!

I'd rather have 12 teams not 10. In 10 team leagues, rosters tend to be stacked, there is too much quality on the waiver wire (esp with rosters of only 25), resulting in very little need to ever trade.

I'd remove the kicker (I'd also remove the DST). Kickers and defenses do not consistently produce year over year to carry any kind of tiered value nor are they predictable week to week. I'd rather see both go and add in additional flex spots if you do not plan to implement IDP.

If you use a taxi squad, it needs a purpose. Are you using an auction, contracts and salaries, etc? Can players be "poached" for compensation? If they are really just additional roster spots then just expand the roster.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

1) Hells, yeah!

2) No TS. Too many subsets of rules necessary. Just expand rosters if you really want to.

3) I'd start in July. I don't worry too much about pre-season in a dynasty start-up since you're planning for long-term. That way, you can set the clock at 24 hours initially to give teams room to trade when they're OTC. Most of the time, picks will happen relatively quickly. If you get to, say, the second week of August and you're only a few rounds in, then you can increase the timer. I also like the slightly earlier start time because it give teams a couple of weeks before the season to assess their drafts and start adjusting their rosters if they want.

Enjoy!!

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I agree about increasing the roster size in a 10 team league. I would like to have a 12 team league but only have 10 guys who committed.

Thanks again

Get out of the past and ditch those K/DST's and make it IDP!

Add two owners and go to 12 teams for sure.

No DEF/K. Instead I highly suggest adding superflex, otherwise QBs have really low value. In the same vein make it TE premium.

No taxi squad.

Draft after the league is full and paid up!

A lot of people will be advocating for IDP. I know it took me a long time before I had any interest. I suspect that trying to implement it now with the committed owners is that there will be some you will lose right off who have no interest in it. It has its appeal but not to everyone.

I agree with Skip and the above pokerface said, if it not too late I would try to gauge the interest in superflex especially if you are staying with 10 teams. QBs will have close to zero trade value otherwise.

Draft as soon as you have the money from everyone.

Actually, I'd suggest a 2QB league, but SF would definitely be advised.
