haldir Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thought I'd get a thread going for this year's league. We still on this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styates Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Thanks for getting a thread started, Randy! I sent a message via the email the league function at ESPN. Please let me know if you're in or out. Thanks, Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styates Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) League Update (listing by team as I don't always know who's who based on real name vs. forum name): Groo and The Wanderers IN Midvale School for the Gifted IN Florin Brute Squad IN Best Available Players IN Muffin Isle Muffins OUT Blistermix Team Venture ? Colorado Stouts IN Jeff Logan Ritterlich Tigers IN Pillagers Plunderers IN Mystery Men IN Burnham Blood IN Fabulous Freebirds IN So, questions for the league: Anybody know the status of Brian Cate? We're down one right now and I know that there were some interested in downsizing if at least one of the others drops, where do we want to set the new cap 10, 8, ?? Keepers or no keepers (how many?)? Dynasty or no dynasty (keep who you want)? etc.Draft order? Live draft or Auto draft? Edited August 10, 2016 by styates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't know the status of any of those guys. I would prefer to cap the league at 10 anyway. If we do keepers we should just keep going with what we were doing, 8 points to work with, 1 point per season that a player has been with your team so this year everyone would cost one point to keep. Not sure about accumulating unused points or not. I still prefer a live draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Definitely live. 8 keepers like we have done. I have no idea why Brian hasn't responded. My cell service right now is out/on hold & the only way communicate with him is via text. He had a chance to respond just like the rest of us so I say we go with with active teams. The out teams give those teams 1 year to stay active. (Ie if we expand again give those teams first crack at coming back). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humansquish Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Justin (Pillagers Plunderers) and Travis (Fabulous Freebirds) are both in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leech Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 To be honest, so long as it's manageable within the ESPN system I don't really care what we do whether it's dynasty, keepers or redraft. I'd rather not have to fanny about with other mechanics to figure stuff out - let's let the system do that for us. Less mistakes and easier to find. To be honest I'd be happy with total redraft, live or automated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styates Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 My feeling on keepers is to go to a set number. We could set a limit on how long you keep someone to avoid that lock down. My old league used to have a 3 year rule on a player. If you kept him for three years in a row, you had to drop him. It avoids the draft nightmare that we've been dealing with because you set your keepers before the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styates Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I edited my previous post to reflect the status of Justin and Travis. If we don't hear from Brian, that would leave us at 10 so we could just keep it as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styates Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I feel that 8 is probably a bit high, I would suggest 4 to possibly 6 on the high end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 4 Keepers, max three years, works for me if we decide to keep the dynasty league format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 I like 4 & I don't. I feel better with 6 but that in the end is only 2 off the amount we had before. Ah hell, lets go 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
