Preds Fans Fantasy Hockey League

[utmfisher19]

Last call to anyone interested in joining or wanting to give it a try.

Instead of this being an add a person when you want league, we are trying out more of a fantasy football approach this year by only allowing waivers to run on certain dates. So if you are into fantasy football, you should try hockey this year!

I think a lot of people don't play fantasy hockey because they're A.) worried it'll take too much time or B.) worried they don't know the league deeply enough to do it.

My response would be A.) it doesn't and B.) it's a good way to learn the league because you find yourself paying attention to a lot of players and teams you wouldn't before.

Is it a once a week kinda thing? Can you pick someone up from the player pool (not on waivers) if someone goes on IR?

4 times a week... I'm sending out a giant email right now to everyone in the leagues about the change.

Is there a way to see who the keepers are?

Your keepers? You go to "My Team" and then select "Keepers".

For others? Before the keeper deadline: no. After the keeper deadline: yes. Once the keeper deadline passes, I believe you go to My Team > Keepers > View League Keepers

Thanks. That is what I was looking for.

Now that the keeper deadline has passed, you can find them at:

the League page, link named "Keepers"

There's a lot of teams with 0 keepers. What's up with them?

One owner is an idiot and for some reason thought the deadline was Wednesday (me). Oh well, I'll be fine.

There are probably still some good picks in there though.

How does it work, btw. Are you just 4 players short after the draft if you didn't pick your keepers and can fill your roster with free agents or what?

Nah. If you didnt have an under 23 pick you will get a scrub added for the first round. After that it will be like a normal draft except you wont be able to select the other people's keepers. I think anyway.

I thought the keepers substituted for your first picks. If you kept 4 keepers, your first pick is round five. I might be wrong.

You're both right. If you kept players, the system will "select" them automatically in the first few rounds. If you didn't keep players, you'll draft in those spots instead.


Not keeping anyone (or keeping less than the max) is a good strategy if you think you can get a better player by drafting instead.

Well I'm glad I have good keepers. Wouldn't have left anyone out even if I had known this

Have to be happy when your four keepers are in the top 78 with two in the top four. Yeah!

 

[Drake744]

Dammit I left 2 goals on my bench today because I didn't know there were games this afternoon. Oh well. Been fun to get back in the routine again.

edit: by 2 goals I mean 1 assist because I can't read.
