GWJFFL 2018 - Final Results and off-season

We did the auction drafts at ESPN anyway and then imported results.

Right. And for the record, Sleeper lists auctions as a 2020 feature, so if we did want to instate a league with an auction draft again, Sleeper would support it starting next year (assuming they're better at delivering projected features than Fleaflicker)

If you prefer to do a non-standard / non-snake draft you may be able to do that as well, but it will require a small manual work-around by the commissioner. For example, if you want to manually edit the draftboard to bend to your league's particular rules, you can do so by asking your commissioner to manually enter each pick into the desired square. The draftboard is fully editable by the commissioner.

I saw we switch. I never liked Fleaflicker. It's fine, but nothing fancy.

Manually editing pick order for one league would be fine. I could live with that.

Dark Theme Draft Board == win

Let's switch

Auction draft was Keeper, and that league died.

Lack of non-snake support for Dynasty might be an issue though.

Oh ya, forgot auction was keeper (RIP) and not pro.

I don't care where we go, as long as there's a benefit. If that benefit is making the commissioner's job easier, great.

We moving?

I'm starting to set things up in Sleeper.

Question: defensive scoring. Does anyone want to revisit the current scoring based on points allowed?

I ask because I encountered Sleeper's defaults which differ from ours.

Ours:
5 points for shutout
2 points for yielding 1-5 points
1 point for yielding 6-10 points

Sleeper's:
10 points for shutout
7 points for yielding 1-6 points
4 points for yielding 7-13 points
1 point for yielding 14-20 points
0 points for yielding 21-27 points
-1 point for yielding 28-34 points
-4 points for yielding 35+ points

I don't have strong feelings, but ours does seem to have a very light scoring impact, while Sleeper's defaults would goose it up a tad.

I absolutely hate negative points for defenses, but agree that our scoring is light. I'd be fine with everything up to the -1 level and just leave it at that; no -4.

I agree, defensive negative points are stupid. I wouldn't even do -1. I'd rather give people more points rather than take away when a team gets killed.

Goosing it up might actually mean defenses have an impact. Right now they're a supreme afterthought.

I'm also against negative points for defenses. I'd be fine with leaving more towards Sleeper's positive points structure though. Like Garion said, it yields more value to the defenses.

Can we just drop defenses and/or kickers from the league entirely?

I can't remember the last time I was excited about my kicker, even if it's Tucker in the 7th round.

Edit: Also, please keep fleaflicker around, I've been starring players there.

I'm excited about my kicker. Greg Zuerlein ftw.

Can we open the registration for 2019 now and end it a week earlier so that we aren't scrambling to have all the draft times picked and drafts take place in the same last few days before the season starts? I know already that I'll be out of town that weekend before the season starts as well as one of the nights during that week...

I'll get the sites finished setting up and the reg thread up this week.

So who wants to trade in dynasty? I'm looking at Legion, Grenades, Garion, and Iaintgotnopants as having players I'd be interested in trading for right now. Maybe others too, heh.

I'm waiting on Legion.

That said, don't think I want to trade with you anymore. Your roster is too stacked.

That's why I want to trade, haha. Doesn't do me a lot of good having 4 starting RBs sitting on my bench...

I always like trading, but it's hard to find a common ground.
