I had a look and didn't find any general threads for Fantasy Hockey... Just the one specifically for the HF Fantasy League... If I just missed it (which happens a lot these days) - please feel free to move / edit / delete / raze...
Had our draft last night... Our league looks like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Teams: 9 (mostly my brother's old college Frat Bros, along with some othe Hockey Dads)
Type: Straight up points - NOT head-to-head or anything
PLAYERS: 10F, 6D, 3G, 2 Utility (other Players - any position PLAYING), 4 Bench (other Players - any position NOT PLAYING)
PONTS: Unweighted - G / A / PPP / PIM / +/- Goalies: Wins / SV% / GAA
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We tend to have a run on Goalies at the beginning (relatively few GOOD Fantasy goalies in the League, making up 38% of your score) - I believe 10 of the first 14-15 picks were goalies this year.
I tend to front-load defensemen a bit as well... I've found a lot of Forwards are interchangable when it comes to Fantasy Points... Defensemen, not so much, and given that 1/3 of your points will come from them, you should try to build a decent D-corps... It seems to have been a good strategy thus far, I've had some decent success.
My D-corps this year is insane... After the draft, I went back and looked and nearly soiled myself. Holy crap:
PK Subban
Z
Erik Karlsson
Shea Weber
Mike Green
OEL
And as an insurance policy, J-Bo... Remember - 9 teams, 6 Defensemen per team... Yow. That's not bad.
Rest of the team is pretty good - I don't have a Sid / Malkin / Stamkos, but I do have a bunch of next tier guys... And two of my goalies are Quick and Bob... Hank and Tuukka went #1 and #2 overall
Overall, I think my team is pretty good. I think I have a decent shot at continuing success...
How's your team looking?
