I've set it to this for now, leaving out week 17. If it's one draft and the fixtures aren't segregated then I'm struggling to see any reason at all to having 2 divisions ? We have a 16 team league as it stands so there's no reason at all to play anybody twice. In fact there would be 2 teams you won''t face in the regular season. A new opponent every week would be more fun than repeat fixtures ? We usually have 14 teams of 9 starters plus 5 bench players equalling 196 drafted players . A 16 team league with 4 bench spots would total 208 drafted players . (That's only 12 less players on the waiver wire than usual) 3 bench spots and the waiver wire is bigger than we have had it for years to be honest . If we are having a true flex with our nutty scoring then a limit on RB's per roster may be the way to go. One 16 team league . 4 bench spots. New opponent every week . Max 3 RB's per roster. Top half makes the playoffs. At the moment it just looks like a 16 team league with 2 cliques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just logged into my Yahoo finally and it seems to be split into 2 divisions still . My fixture list includes you twice but I don't face KKR or Olof ? Unless there are 2 separate leagues with self enclosed drafts the 2 division thing seems moot. Is the plan to have the top 4 from div 1 meet the top 4 from div 2 in the playoffs ? This could mean a team finishing 5th in their div missing out to a worse team who finished 4th in the other division ? What if I have to face McCaffrey twice whilst others get to duck him ? Is there another Brumerican type character out there who can have a pop at me for leaving this so late ?

Brumerican Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 How does one even practise having the 16th pick We have to limit RB's otherwise Chris Thompson is going to be the only guy left by round 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubby Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I think you're talking sense @Brumerican I was hoping it would be to play everyone once (up to 13 fixtures) and top 4 from each division head to the playoffs just like NFL conferences. Divisions do seem moot if it's all one player pool any way. @kkr has been working hard to keep up with and make the changes though so we would be best to finalise what we want as a league so as not to burden him much more. The bench reduction seems sensible, as does the flex role. RB scoring was better aligned to WR last year so I think we could probably proceed as it's unlikely a single team will have CMC and another top RB. I'm voting for the ability to play each team once (up to 13 games), whether that be two divisions or one league of 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 To be fair that looks like a really good , ready to go draft order. Maybe us Diamonds and Platinums get together later for a vote whilst the Bronze lot make the coffee ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense After a quick investigation it looks like a total grade for ALL your Yahoo teams over your entire Yahoo history . It's basically us nerdy losers who manage hundreds of teams at the top . This is definitely a list you want to be near the bottom of to be honest. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 If you click here Rob you can see what it all means https://profiles.sports.yahoo.com/user/ORV5X6QWPRPV3ATXQAOLX3LGZM/?sport=football. This is your entire Yahoo career since 2008 . (Mine only goes back to an email change I made in 2018) You have 96 wins and 94 losses ( 1 tie) over the last 12/13 years giving you pretty much a bang on .500 rating. I have 143 wins and 105 losses in the last 3 years because I practise drafting by joining real leagues against randoms rather than mocking. These are the sort of leagues that people forget about or give up on easily so it's a doddle to make the playoffs. In essence it just means you play in less leagues but at a higher standard. It was the only list I could copy and paste without dragging glitchy icons along for the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornso Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Is there a way I can set it to auto pick? Draft is at 5am my time and if I sleep through my alarm I don’t you all hating on me for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
