Deuce Fantasy Football Keeper League

[FKAGobucks877]

I'm going to say everyone can keep two, unless there are massive objections. With ten teams, there probably aren't a whole lot more than two players on each roster that are definitely "keepers".

Very nice season Appalachia Moonshine.

Thanks man. Looking forward to next season already!

[FKAGobucks877]

I'm looking for trophies that people can put in their .sig...I'm sure I'll get around to it sometime around September.

Just checking to see if we're going to run this league again this season?

I know we're still 2 months out, but it took a little while to solidify who was actually in/out last time, then we'll need to set a draft day that works for as many as possible, and I assume we'll need a little time to lock in our keepers so we can prepare a little for the redraft. (is it definitely 2?)

So is the Deuce still operating '09?

I'm definitely up for it.

[jlb1705]

I'm still in.

[BuckTwenty]

I'm in and bringing my A game this year

[Ahiacitian]

Count me in, I have to try to defend the league crown!

[jlb1705]

How's this gonna work if FKA isn't starting it back up? Would we do a manual draft in a "new" league so the rest of us could keep our players? Would we just reboot the whole thing? Ideas? I'm willing to be commish if FKA isn't gonna be back.

[Padraig]

I've written two long posts in response, both being erased before I could post them ...effing computer!



ANYWAY!


If you're willing to be Commish, all you have to do is log into yahoo and click on the "new team / set up own league" tab or whatever it's called. There is an option to copy the settings from leagues you participated in last year, so you shouldn't have to do all the settings / rules research from last year...they will automatically remain the same when you click the Duece Keeper League settings.

Once a league (Duece Keeper 2009) is created, we get all of last year's returning managers to log in and determine who is back / how many managers are not returning.

We open those forfeited teams up to new owners. If we have takers, we can then set our keepers and a draft date.


The draft might be a little tricky. I am not sure that yahoo has a commish tool that will allow you to pre-assign players before the draft.....if it does, that would be perfect. We assign the keepers to each team, then the draft goes as last year, reverse order from last year's league standings/finish.

If you cannot pre-assign players, then we will have to do two things:

1.) Obviously each team participating in the live draft will HAVE to "draft" their keepers with their very 1st & 2nd picks.

2.) (and more importantly) those managers who cannot make the draft will HAVE to pre-rank their draft list with their two keepers as their top 2 players so the auto draft selects them.

The only glitch that I could see is if someone would want to do something crazy and keep 2 QBs or something, then the auto draft manager would continue skipping over the 2nd QB until that team's other starting spots are filled (but I can't fathom anyone wanting to do that).


Of course all of that is moot if we don't get enough players who want to return or take over the forfeited franchises...in which case we could scrap the keeper aspect and start anew.

In either case, setting up the league online would be the first step since FKA seems to be out.

...and I suppose I could help further the cause by posting last year's teams so we can see who is back and what forfeited teams (with their potential 2 Keepers) might be available:

I talked to my friend a couple weeks ago and he said he'd be in. I'll make sure he signs up once it's started.

If the draft/keeper situation becomes too much of a mess would we be OK with starting over this year with no keepers from last year? I'm perfectly willing, but I suppose people who have better players might have a different opinion.

Another option might be an "offline" draft that we could do in a thread here, then submit to Yahoo.

It doesn't look like there's any way to access keeper settings until after we draft in the "new league". I'm guessing declaring our actual keepers is something that has to be done by the commish in-season. I'm not even sure if it lets you do it at the start of the next season.

Anyway, it's available for those who are still in. Please post your team name here after you sign up. My team is The Soup Vixens.

[jlb1705]

Oh - nevermind. I just figured out how I can assign keepers pre-draft. Doing so will not allow us to have the standard random draft order, so I figure it would go from worst-to-first from last year's standings, with anyone taking over an abandoned time going to the back of the order - that is unless there are any better ideas.
