So how exactly does the draft work in terms of the teams without keepers? I didn't quite follow. We're basically just picks 11+ in the first round (that's fine i just want to be sure i understood)

I mean the current system is basically the same as if we had picks 11+, then it snaked and we started round 2, so it seems pretty normal. The round names are just screwy Also I was second in the first round, i would say it was a little off if i got first in both even though it's not much of a difference

Why do I have Damian lillard Ok I see what we did, basically just gave the three new teams “keepers” and the first picks, that’s fine but I took harden and shadowfax took lillard i think, and boromir took Tatum? Or did I just totally miss something

Rick posted:Yeah...with another on deck who can still change their mind. The thing with you injury prone guys on stacked teams is that you know they’re going to sit a lot. Even if they don’t suffer any major boo boos, Davis and Irving are going to play 65 or so games between minor scrapes and rest

I almost took Simmons but I’m legit afraid he’s going to sit out a portion of the season at this point

rivetz posted:That Simmons pick will probably end up being the steal of the draft, even if he misses a few games out of the gate. Does anyone really think he's not going to put up first-round-ish numbers wherever he lands Well his fantasy points per game last season weren’t anywhere near first round in this format but yeah he’s comfortably the best last year player on the board now. But those missing games could end up being last year of Harden in Houston level poo poo, where he sits on and off or nakedly half asses until they find a deal they can stomach, then he has to adjust to a new team mid season. It’s a real risk, not least because he’s not a Harden type who can just step in and do his thing

I'm really pleased to get john wall so late. yeah he sucks rear end irl, and he isn't going to play for an indeterminate amount of time, but his terrible season last year was apparently good for some serious points in this format. If he decides to play or they get him a trade, he'll be a lot more valuable than anyone else at this point.

I guess I’m not sure I understand what the upside is on divisions? Seems like all the problems we have are the same just from having an odd number of teams

Dutchy posted:Last year everyone made the playoffs but I'm not sure if that's something we were committed to. I brought up wanting to shrink the playoff field but kinda dropped it because I felt silly advocating for such a fundamental change halfway thru the season. That sounds like a pretty good system.

Rick posted:If you haven't voted in the poll, please do so it's not sitting as it currently is at 4-4 which is kind of the most inconclusive result possible. A lot of fantasy clients let you set up a second bracket for the low seed teams that missed the real playoffs, just so they have something to do at the end of the season

I just had a busy week and forgot Jrue was on my bench. Curses, sorry Edit: Justin, not Jrue. I got confused because he is thus far the superior fantasy player this year (which will continue) DeimosRising fucked around with this message at 15:13 on Oct 21, 2021 |

We probably ought to have a lower transaction limit, the points system really incentivizes streaming which is annoying to have to do

I like this format. I like having any good thing my players do count, instead of rooting for like, rebounds specifically or whatever in a given game. It’s less deep in that there’s no real strategy but “pick the best guys” but who cares

Ghost Dog posted:thats a wild way to do it, i just assumed all fantasy was like football where your dude just gets points for doing good things and the most points wins yeah usually in a mildly competitive league it's impossible to be good in every category, so you have to go in with a plan to like, dominate rebounds and blocks and fg% for example, so you take all the best bigs and then get guards who play weird, or you want threes and free throw percentage so you just "punt" on rebounds and take bigs who shoot instead of playing any defense. Basically you have to pick a team that is all or mostly good at the same stuff or you'll just be mediocre at everything. In theory this kind of strategizing would be fun but in reality i think it feels kind of like work, scouring the dregs of the league for good rebounding scrubs or whatever.

Rick posted:It's definitely annoying. This is actually one thing that ESPN is better at, is that once the first game starts, all add/remove actions are considered to be on tomorrow's roster. Well except for the part where if a player is announced hurt two hours before an east coast evening game on a Sunday you can't get a player to replace them because there was a game at noon. That latter bit is really unavoidable. Obviously also a big issue in football. Unless you forced teams to announce their roster, no takebacks, a day in advance (one weird trick gamblers would fucken love)

Red Rox posted:Injuries can really gently caress you over in the fantasy playoffs - it's a really lame way to end the season. For example, this year in a Yahoo league I'm playing, I'm a very high seed but Steph is my star player and he's just gone out, probably until the playoffs. Last year the same thing happened with Kawhi. Just in the playoffs? definitely makes injury prone players more valuable. the trouble with fantasy bball playoffs is lots of teams will rest guys at the end of the year if they're not worried about seeding (or are eliminated etc). So in the same way that most leagues don't play the final week of the football season, you have to figure out a spot to call it but it's not as clear cut. In what you're suggesting, would you designate a "ghost" player? or would it be anyone who's ir eligible? pretty wild idea
