Jamalisms Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 A few rules and function questions: Is the draft only rookies or is it FA as well? Do I even technically have to have any rookies? (I assume the answer is no) If someone keeps enough players, do they just forfeit picks and everyone moves up a spot? (Can't see how else this would work but wanted to ask) Does the IR only become available during the season? i.e. If a theoretical someone is out all year and we already know, do they still don't against my roster size in preseason? Does a player have to be on actual IR for me to IR them on my roster? What about the temp IR NFL teams have? Is our IR final or do we have a temp spot? Does the league approve trades or is it entirely up to the discretion of owners? Do we have a trade deadline during the season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abenjami Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 22 minutes ago, Jamalisms said: A few t tiles and function questions: Is the draft only rookies or is it FA as well? Rookies Only. After the rookie draft, we have a free agency period. Each team has a $200 budget to bid on free agents. Do I even technically have to have any rookies? (I assume the answer is no) I suppose the answer would be no. However, do you have draft picks. I suppose you could forfeit them to avoid having any rookies but that doesn't seem like a good strategy. If someone keeps enough players, do they just forfeit picks and everyone moves up a spot? (Can't see how else this would work but wanted to ask) No. Right now, you keep 23 players. In the past, the roster limits get expanded for your rookies and then you have to make cuts before the season starts to get back down to the regular roster size. Does the IR only become available during the season? i.e. If a theoretical someone is out all year and we already know, do they still don't against my roster size in preseason? I'm not sure. Does a player have to be on actual IR for me to IR them on my roster? What about the temp IR NFL teams have? Is our IR final or do we have a temp spot? Yes, actual IR. Not sure about temp. We pretty much go by yahoo designating them at IR or not. Does the league approve trades or is it entirely up to the discretion of owners? Do we have a trade deadline during the season? Discretion of owners. Cyrus even traded himself Gronk and we allowed it. Don't remember about a trade deadline. I can answer most of this. See above.

Does the league approve trades or is it entirely up to the discretion of owners? Do we have a trade deadline during the season? Draft is only rookies. After the draft we'll open up "free agency". We use a blind bid process - at the beginning everyone will have $300 (IIRC) to spend on veteran free agents and UDFA. I suppose you could forfeit your picks if you want to forego rookies. I don't recommend it. We have deep benches so that you can effectively sit several players without impacting your ability to deal with matchups/injuries. Because the draft is off-line (on this board) I can make any cuts as necessary after the draft is over. Prior to the draft you don't need to worry about having enough roster spots, but it will need to be resolved by the time I add your players. IR is always available, but they need to be placed on IR by an NFL team for them to be eligible. If that happens in the preseason, then you'll be able to add them to that slot. I do believe IR designated for return works as well. Only commissioner (myself) approval on league trades. I'm very open-minded (relaxed) about terms of deals but am thinking about competitive balance of the league. No trade deadline. We've seen deals that look pretty unfair at times work out fairly or even look totally upside down. I do think we have no trades from playoff-eliminated teams to playoff teams. (IIRC). - Abenjami is pretty close to dead on most items. We used to have an expanded roster than cut-down, (4 spots) but Yahoo's mechanics didn't really allow that to be changed easily. So we made the 4 spots basically permanent. Think of it as your practice squad. And I did trade with my brother-in-law for Gronk. Was Calvin Johnson and Jimmy Graham (pre-injury) for Gronk. Pretty crazy how that turned out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abenjami Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I propose we set a trade deadline. Something like week 9 or 10. Then re-open for trades as soon as the fantasy season ends. More realistic that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalisms Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Wow, with the Megatron retirement and Graham being lackluster in Seattle, plus injury... that trade basically worked out so that I now have Jimmy Graham instead of Gronk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were yearly it would be something but the whole point of a dynasty league is to make that late season push and mortgage the future/present. I wouldn't mind more criticism of trades after a certain point or something, idk, but one thing about a dynasty league is the fact that you are not necessarily ever out of contention because the nature of longevity. Edit: Playoff deadline actually (pretty sure how it has been). I'd be fine with a 3 week lock on transactions involving managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Or you have Graham instead of Bink having Gronk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team shouldn't be able to dump a superstar for a draft pick or a rookie late in the regular season. It doesn't happen in the NFL and it gives one playoff-bound team a huge advantage over the others. And i'm not sure how we would fairly scrutinize them more for a small window of time, especially since all the trades made so far were just fine if you look at the long term perspective of just the 2 teams who made the deal.

How does it give an advantage? Unless obvious collusion is involved every single player can trade away high future picks for an over the hill stud. That's the whole premise of a dynasty league vs. a keeper league. If you sell out in either direction you better be damn sure you nail it. If a team just unloaded someone in the middle of the playoffs it would piss me off but otherwise whats the difference between week 9/10 and week 12 in the grand scheme of things. My notion is that until all playoff spots are locked, why bother with a deadline.... You actually hurt the terrible teams too. Last year the league was so close in terms of who made the playoffs people weren't willing to as easily but if someone is knocked out of the league by week 8, how is it any different? If anything it gives them an unfair advantage because they are in unload mode before anyone else and could actually be the only one who would be able to deal by week 9. Edit: An earlier deadline would also encourage tanking since you would have to be completely out of contention early to make a bold rebuild move essentially Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscotitansfan Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 If anyone is interested in Latavius/Matt Jones/Ryan Mathews lemme know... I am looking for picks this year or a 1st next. Not sure a deal can be done for Latavius though since I am and always have been a lot higher than most people in general. The reason I am putting these guys on the block is they actually have trade value while my other backs I can just switch in on a weekly basis but won't net much in terms of picks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscotitansfan Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 @Cyrus How many spots do we have again? Is 23 that week 1 number? I have 19 guys I want to keep, 3 maybes and 6 Drops PLUS rookies. I see myself dropping all but 1 of the maybes if 23 is that magic number. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
