New to Salary Cap...help please

Postby pokerplayer1000 » Fri Dec 23, 2016 7:09 am

I am looking into creating a salary cap but am clueless to these leagues. I will use MFL and was curious if anyone had a guide or a league I could look at to get started with the setup.

thanks

My best advice is spend the time to craft the rules over the next several months. It will be critical to get this part of it right as you do not want to have to drastically amend mid-way though.

I'll offer up some help, but you'll find more on this in the commish corner. What are the basics of your league?

#of teams, roster sizes, IDP?

what is the salary cap? will you allow trading of unused cap space as blind-bid dollars? blind-bid waivers?

As of right now I am looking at 10 teams, 24 man rosters no IDP with the following starting requirements

1qb, 2rb, 3wr, 1te, 1flex, 1 superflex.

Through the research I have done, looking at some posts on here to other leagues I have written up some bylaws.

My one questions is how do you handle free agents through out the season? I see many leagues signing guys as first come first serve then they are released at the end of the season.

What about blind bidding? My concern is that say my team has 3million in cap space and I acquire someone for league minimum through blind bidding. How do you handle that? Do many leagues release blind bid acquisitions back into the FA pool at the end of the year, do teams keep them? etc?

Here is a link to the league http://www55.myfantasyleague.com/2016/home/57473#0

Two leagues that I am in will cycle the in-season acquisitions back through the free-agent pool in the offseason. This will allow all teams to accurately price these players after their cap is freed up. I like this, as this helps to keep a healthy supply of available players for the new year. It also helps with league parity, new owners coming in, etc. I don't recommend allowing in-season acquisitions to stick on the roster the next season, as this will eventually lead to the most active owners dominating a league. That's not the idea of dynasty. You want to dominate through the offseason team-building process or trades. Parity.

I use blind-bidding waivers that process Thursay morning, then available players can be added first-come first-served for the minimum salary. You have to assign the default salary in the COMMISH TOOLS>SALARY CAP SETUP>ENTER PLAYER SALARIES page at the top.

Adding to Bruiser here.

I've got a rule in a league I play with 20% inflation that touches on some of this that I love. Players are only eligible to sign on long term if they are offered a contract equal to or higher than the highest contract they've had that season already. Otherwise they automatically leave after the season.

So if you sign some guy for peanuts and he breaks out great. What a good deal. If a productive vet is released for some reason you can sign him - but unless it's a decent wage he'll be in free agency in the off-season. Helps prevent the randomness of in-season pickups potentially being awesome value towards the end of the year as teams get rid of players they don't want to keep in favour of stashes.
