Dynasty League Football Forum

I am the commissioner of a 10 team salary cap/contracts dynasty league which just started this season.

As well as play-offs for the Championship, we are holding play-offs for the No.1 draft pick.

With salary leagues, I believe most leagues have an auction when drafting rookies, but with ours being different, I am after some advice about how to assign $ values to each draft position.

Does anyone else play this way and/or have a formula for calculating draft position values?

Thanks

are you looking for a rookie wage scale type thing?

plenty of leagues do not have auctions for their rookie draft. using a rookie wage scale or "slotted value" for draft picks is not uncommon at all!

here is the one from RSO: http://realitysportsonline.com/Content. ... act-values

you would have to divide by the salary cap in the top left to get a % and then multiply that by your league's salary cap, but this is pretty thorough.

I am the commish of a dynasty league where we have slotted rookie contracts...we have a $1500 salary cap with contracts that increase 10% each year (20% for future cap hits if cut). But, below is the slotted scale we came up with back in 2011. We tried to base the percent of the NFL slotted scale, on our $1500 cap (10 team league).

Round 1: $70 $65 $60 $55 $50 $33 $31 $29 $27 $25
Round 2: $22 $21 $20 $19 $18 $16 $15 $14 $13 $12
Round 3: $10 $9 $8 $7 $6 $5 $4 $3 $2 $1

Thanks for your help guys.

With it being a $500 cap and no salary increases each year, I used the year 2 figures from the 4yr contracts table and came up with the below:

Round 1 - $22 $21 $20 $19 $18 $16 $14 $13 $12 $11
Round 2 - $5 $4 $3 $2 $1

Sound/look about right?

Not bad, that will work. I am just now adding a 2nd draft to my 2 yr old league that has 10 teams now, auction draft of veterans not one of each team's Keepers, followed by 3 round snake Rookie draft based on teams' regular season records. I came up with this cost table for rookies:

1.1 $30
1.2 $27
1.3 $24
1.4 $21
1.5 $18
1.6 $16
1.7 $14
1.8 $12
1.9 $10
1.10 $8
2.1-2.5 $7
2.6-2.10 $6
3.1-3.5 $5
3.6-3.10 $4
4.1-4.5 $3
4.6-4.10 $2

Of course a team could pass and not pick anyone if they don't feel any rookie is worth one of the higher priced picks, or trade that pick for a veteran player, later picks, or next year's pick.

So I was going to post but looking at everyone's post I got a lot on info thank you

This is about 4.4% (based off 1.1) where our league is about 3.3%. Our salaries move up each year though. Not considering the actual "scale" I still think this % works out pretty well in a 10 team league (ours is 12 team with 47 man rosters).

To give you an idea of our scale, 1.1 was 4.4 million and 1.10 was 1.6 million (36% of 1.1) in contrast your 1.10 is %50 of 1.1. I still think this can work out fine.

There are plenty of ways you can do it and it still works out.

We ended up going with a more favorable rookie contract system.
Out of $250 here is the general contracts

1.01 costs $5 for the first 2 yeaqrs, then $15 and $20 for the last
1.02 $4-$4-$14-$19
1.03 $3-$3-$13-$18
1.02-1.10 $2-$2-$12
2nd round $1-$1-$11
3rd/4th $1-$1

People wanted a mix of cheap value but a steady increase if you ended up getting a Zeke/OBJ. All contracts are waivable so its definitely on the lenient side.
