OT: Fantasy League?

[HighNote]

I moved to the new league as well. I am wondering, having never played fantasy--is it typical to have PIM as a stat? From a theoretical standpoint I don't like it, since it's a bad stat in real life and would encourage me to draft knuckleheads like Marchand or Byfluglien higher. Would it work to use hits instead as a way to give value to physical players?

Well, I've been looking at the stats a bit and there are some I disagree with. For one, goalies have 4 of the 10 stats to begin with, which I think is kind of silly because that's almost half of the scoring being tracked for only 1 position, or 2 players on any given night. +/- is also pretty dumb if you ask me because in my opinion the stats should reflect individual skill. Obviously you can't avoid this with goalies, but whatever.

What do you guys think of these stats:

Goals
Assists
PPP
SOG
Blocks
Hits
Faceoffs won

Wins
Sv%
Shutouts

This way not so many stats are dependent on goalies, and all the skater stats are things you can actually draft for and aren't affected by team play too much. Several different types of players have value this way.

Goal scorers (G, PPP, SOG)
Playmakers (A, PPP)
Physical players (HIT)
Powerplay specialists (PPP, SOG)
Faceoff specialists (FW)
Defensive defensemen (blocks)

Goalies on bad teams also have slightly more value without Losses and GAA.

What happened to the Fantasy League? There's only 14 teams left.

It’s still gonna happen. I just think some people hopped out because they didn’t like the idea of so many teams. Which is fine. We can run 2 different leagues or whatever works.

 

[PiggySmalls]

I joined the 2nd league.

 

[BuLLeT1291]

Any chance we can make the 2nd one at 7:30? Just so if people wanna join both it doesn’t pose an issue?

I have dinner plans so if we're moving the time I'd prefer to move a little earlier rather than later.

I like it--I think this is better.

Yeah 4 stats for goalies particularly in a league where not everybody can even have 2 starters would be terrible

We need 3 more people to move over/join so we have 8 in my league and 10-12 in Senko's.

Reminder that the draft is at 6:30 PM central tonight (for both leagues). So the draft room opens up in less than 3 hours after this post.

If you want to be in both leagues, and are worried about the drafts being at the same time, try having two tabs open next to each other and hopefully you don't get the same draft position. If you're quick you can make it work either way, I've done it before.

I'll join yours also. 2 Monitor PC Master Race

Alright nice, now we just need 2 more teams.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

So if no one joins the second league, are we just gonna roll with 6?

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I would suggest having 2-4 people move from the larger one to the smaller one. 8-12 is a very good amount of people for a league.

Yeah, I'm hoping a few people see this as they're getting on for the first league's draft and they are willing to switch over really quickly.

As said before, for those who haven't read it yet, it's the exact same draft time with just a few altered stats (removed +/-, PIMs, losses, and GAA // added hits, blocks, faceoffs won).

I also posted a thread in the fantasy hockey section hoping for a team or two to join.

 

[HighNote]

Well, it looks like we're just gonna roll with 6 teams unless 2 teams join in the next 20 minutes.

EDIT: It's locked.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Well, it looks like we're just gonna roll with 6 teams. I think the teams are locked now.

yep yep. Teams locked.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

The draft starts in 15 minutes, make sure you are on so you don't get auto drafted.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Wow, I've never had the first pick before lol

(In league #2 that is)

 

[Blanick]

If anyone is still looking for people I will join a league. I know it is pretty late but I am available.

 

[BadgersandBlues]

Hey all,

I have some spots open for a Keeper League we've run for two years now. We currently have 8 teams, looking to get to 10 or 12. If you are interested please PM me. We will draft Tuesday at 8 PM. Platform is ESPN.

Cheers!

 

[HighNote]

Added an IR+ spot because I forgot to.

 

[BuLLeT1291]

If you guys wanna just hand me over the HFBlues fantasy hockey trophy now we can just scrap all this.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I really didn't do well on the large draft, just too many people

 

[Evocable Manager]

I need 1 player for my league.

PM me if interested.
