Offseason FAAB timeline

[zdhaugen]

I am setting up a dynasty league on Sleeper App. I am planning on having two different budgets. I will have $100 for an inseason FAAB budget, and then will reset it after the season and have a fresh $100 for the offseason FAAB. Waivers will run daily in the offseason and weekly in season. I was wondering when the cutoff should be for resetting the FAAB budget. Currently I am thinking that the inseason FAAB budget would begin following the final preseason game, and end following the final week 16 game. The offseason budget would open the day following the super bowl, and would end after the last game of the preseason. What are you thoughts on this, specifically regarding which budget the preseason should be a part of. If it matters, our rookie drafts will be held the third weekend of July.

You've got it right with that setup, that's the same as our league. Nice one.

Thanks for the response! Good to know it worked well for other people.

That would work, but honestly it just seems like more work on your end. You're basically running FAAB all year anyways, so why divide it up? If owners blow their wads early, that's on them.

I definitely understand the thought process there, and wouldn't mind being in a league like that. I just feel like in season and off season free agency are very different, and plus I want to do everything I can to promote year around activity for owners, which I think this will do. Also the work will be pretty minimal. I simply have to go in twice a year and reset all the FAAB budgets to 100. Will take like 5 minutes each time. Sleeper app will handle the rest.
