Fantasy Leagues Discussion - Currently Dynasty Future Drafts

I would suggest 41 games. That's half a season across 9 positions. I know I set my lineups on a weekly basis, and there are some game time decisions I miss. 25 seems like too easy a number to get.

If everyone else is fine with the lottery, it works for me.

I think he was saying you are allowed to miss 25 games total without getting penalized in the draft

Yeah, I think we are on the same page. If it's 9 positions, my suggestion is an average of about 3 misses per position, but I think most people max the number of games at some or most of their positions, so would have more potential misses at other ones.

41 is an average of about 4.5 misses at each slot. That seems like quite a bit, since you would almost certainly fall back some spots in the standings if you play 40 fewer games than someone. I mean some cats are so close just a few games matter.

It seems most people max out positions and there really isn't any reason you shouldn't. Even if you miss some game time decisions (I do too) then you can catch up by subbing in different players into slots.

I'm not a fan of any type of lottery, but I can live with it

So even after we do reverse draft of standings this year (other than round 5), you want to do that every year regardless? I think ultimately that will make the league less competitive.

Wait. I'm lost now. Aren't we doing snake this year and then tiered lottery next one (and forever after)?

If so, why did I receive a ftoolbox result on my email?
