March 19, 201511 yr Author Maybe this: QB, RB, WR, FLEX, FLEX, PK, and DEF? That way you only have to start one RB or WR if you want to.
March 19, 201511 yr ^Sounds like the guy who drafted McCoy and Lynch was smart enough to make them both keepers. If people want better options at keeper, they need to draft better players, simple as that. Me, I have 4 viable options for keepers. Tough problem to have. :idunno: I will give him credit for that or maybe just lucky but for him to keep them for life is just unfair. You sound like one of the top five that makes playoffs every year and has won. If we keep it the same you are telling ten teams they have no chance but thanks for playing!
March 19, 201511 yr It is really fair when same teams make playoffs every year and never have to worry being at the bottom and getting kicked out of the league. It is tough to build your team through the draft when 23 studs are gone and then may get a lucky roll and draft high. Why does the last team not draft first? It is just totally unfair to about ten team. Five will do great, five will do terrible and the rest right in the middle. The top five wins and thanks the others for playing.
March 20, 201511 yr This league takes time to get competitive. My first year, the team I inherited had Reggie Bush and Larry Fitzgerald as the best players. I acquired Ray Rice via trade then got rid of him for a 4th rounder, then got Jamal Charles with the lesser of my 4th rounders before the 2013 season. The rest was history. You gotta be willing to make trades and take chances to get ahead.
March 20, 201511 yr I got 3 guys worth keeping, Jamaal Charles, Demarco Murray (who I got with my 2nd round pick, so stud RBs can still get drafted) and Demarious Thomas. Any of which wil be available via trade.

I think the worse your finish the higher draft you have...my first year in the league I didn't keep anyone from the team I inherited and ended up with the first 2 picks and then the 3rd pick in the 3rd round due to so many having keepers. I got Demarius Thomas and Dez Bryant before I got to the third round that year.
March 21, 201511 yr I have been in the league for several years and last year I won one game. This league is geared to the top players who got to keep good players and us guys at the bottom just play so you guys can have someone to fill the league. This league is for free and bragging rights. Put everyone back and roll for draft spots and everyone starts on an equal basis. Simple!!!!

March 21, 201511 yr The thing I love most about this league is how challenging it is. I put countless hours into research which educates me more for my other leagues and gives me a significant advantage. In the past 2 years I've played in 6 leagues. Made it to the championship in all 6 which IMO is because of the difficulty of this league.
March 21, 201511 yr No... :lol2: Right, because you are one of the guys that are in the top five every year.
March 21, 201511 yr Right, because you are one of the guys that are in the top five every year. He's had some bad years. Almost lost every game one year.
March 22, 201511 yr He's had some bad years. Almost lost every game one year. Yup. Regouped, made some bold moves to restructure my roster and got back to winning. If you can't get going in this league, chances are you just aren't all that good at FFB... :idunno:
March 22, 201511 yr The difficulty of this league has helped to make me much better in my money league with close buddies.

Gotta be willing to make trades and take chances
