Fantasy League Thoughts and Blog
 

I just wanted to bring some of the issues out of the thread, especially after the same issues came up a couple of times and I expect that to continue. I'd love if any other issues or concerns could be raised here to keep the thread clear for signups. So, here's some quick thoughts about some of the perceived issues with the league setup.


I think that Ninja is about where he should be, and 3.5 is what should be the upper limit for all players. Mafia, Myuu, Poker and Flash are really too costly to consider. This is definitely an oversight by me, I did try to generate a bunch of teams and it all looked good, but then today we saw the choices people made and this exposed the issue.

So first of all, my apologies to those 4 guys who I think are going to get looked over in the fantasy draft through no fault of their own. In fact, the reason they are getting looked over is because they did so brilliantly well last season.

tgun came up with what I think is the best solution - to open trade weeks. Since once the season kicks off, last season's results don't matter one bit, players' points will reflect this season alone. Therefore, those lads should be able to find homes during the trade week - and, honestly, I think many players will be scrambling to take them. The first trade week, after week 3, should mean that even if Mafia goes off to a flying 3-0 (or better) start, people should be able to get him for their team if they really want him - there can't really be THAT big a disparity unless a bunch of A-teamers from a bunch of teams fail to show up for those 3 weeks.

I actually don't consider this broken. I think it's certainly a quirk that it's easier to fit glade into your team than some other insanely good yet not quite glade-level players. I truly think it makes the league interesting more than it breaks anything. Here's my response to this from the thread where it came up...

Why is Flash worth so much?

First of all, please note there was an issue. When I originally created the cap, it was 14.5. I shared it with some bouses who promptly demonstrated some really crazy lineups that were able to just squeeze into 14. So, the cap was reduced. I didn't check after this change to make sure that Flash could be picked on a team - 5.33 made this impossible. I reduced his value to 5.25 (and as I said, this shouldn't impact his likelihood at being drafted, but it has made it at least possible).

With that out of the way, here's the response from the thread about how Flash is valued the way he is
