BGP Fantasy Football League ~ 2017 – Off Season Discussion

[sumoroyal]

@Godot I'm interested in a return, unless you would have an influx of newbies wanting to play

 

Ditto, so am I!!!!!!

Ok @Godot it's time for you to publish the season timeline.

Not yet. The NFL hasn't released their schedule, so I can't set dates on our timeline yet.

 

 

Actually looked at getting it done last week and realized I was early. I guess I could do something based on an NFL start date of Sept 7th and change everything if I need to.

I'm waiting on it to fully book a trip to Antigua. When is that usually released?

Mid to late April.

Keepers due in 137 days

I've always had a hard time implementing PPR into a keeper league after it's already been begun and established.

 

Almost have to redraft in my opinion.

 

 

My big time money league voted to add PPR to our scoring and we re-drafted entirely last year. A lot of folks liked re-drafting as it made things more equal for those who weren't original members in the league and folks who didn't like their keeper choices were able to start all over. I'm good either way. Just offering up my experience with transforming over to PPR. My money league loved it.

Yeah, I'm not opposed at all to redraft, I just feel like you'd have to to implement PPR. Not sure Spiceman would have any interest in any of that haha!

Truth. The only way it works is to redraft. Not sure folks would be up for that in this league.

I feel you there! :lol2:

[HammerTime]

Well if we put it to a vote the people with no good keepers will outweigh the people with great ones. :lol2:

IMO, if we want to do PPR, we have to give a seasons notice. Such as, if we want PPR, it needs to be implemented in 2018 but with the knowledge prior to the 2017 draft, thus allowing owners to adjust, draft and trade strategy with plenty of foresight.
