That is funny it doesn't work for me either but it does if I go and google it again. I find the same page and link.

http://www.dummies.c...keeper-leagues/

Just copy and paste.


Okay i read it.

The article mentions lots of formats and mention quite alot of different settings, so before answering yes or no it would be nice to know alittle bit more about what kind of keeper league you want.

How many players can be kept and at what cost.....also is draft like NFL? reversed of last season standings?

Also how big an advantage is it for the USA players before a draft?

College football isnt something you get in Danish sportsnews, You wont even hear about the NFL unless its SB time.


I also have a few concerns because of how this years normal season played out.

1. Trades: Everey other league i played had about 5 to 15 trades during the normal season. Did we have any....at all?

I know i only got 1 offer all season and it was retracted before i even saw it.

I dont know if this is a timezone issue or because of all the Thursday night games, but it would really worry me if i had a team in a keeper league, who was doing poorly and knew it woulld be next to impossible to swing a trade.

SORRY about the many questions, but i would love to know more and hear your thoughts.

I don't think that we did do any trades this year. I knew that trades have been done in years past. I usually draft with an eye to not have to trade during the season. I actually think that having a keeper league would create more opportunities for trading. Do you trade vets for younger players and toss the current season but lock up playoff chances for the next seasons? Or do you trade a younger player for a vet in order to lock in a shot at winning the championship this year?

For my information on players I look at a pay site http://www.footballguys.com/ Which I have been a member of for 8 years or so. I get very little information off of TV. You couldn't trade for college players who haven't been drafted. You could only trade or draft players that are on rosters or in the NFL.

How many players can be kept is something that we will talk about once we determine if all members of the league are interested. I would think the number would be 3-5 players. Personally I would lean toward 3 myself.
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

Was in my mafia game alt so could not participate in the discussion. I read the link and kind of understand it, but when you say keeper league is that keeping only a couple of players, and draft the rest each year?

edit also what the fuck is going on with the Black Hand having two spaces free and Locket 21 points on the bench? Over analysis? With Venge's 3 under performing I'd be smelling blood.

Keeping 3, releasing the rest, and we draft from the pool, yes. If you'd keep everyone or almost everyone, we'd be talking a dynasty league. 3 would be a manageable number - you'd basically be looking at locking in the people from this season you'd normally expect to go in round 1-3 of the next year.

I like the keeper policy in my other league. You choose 2 players. 1 player is anyone you want (your "franchise" player). The other player has to be someone who was drafted in the 6th round or later.

Or, alternatively, the 2nd player can be someone who is outside the "Top 100 ranked players" the next season.

I'd be down with a format like that, but that's just because I'm used to it. Flexible any which way.

Good work, team! Although I do take some credit for some decent waiver-wire moves.


Like Ty Montgomery. Pick up of the year right there. Thank you to whoever it was that let him go. :p

That actually sounds pretty good. Would still keep the draft applicable and relevant.

Thursday night football has been my nemesis all year. Having both of my RB's play on thursday completely killed me. Well that and benching Bree's after his two games of 6 and 4 points. Ah well.

I am crushed that i lost to you, but at the same time very happy i lost with more than Ty Montgomery points.

I hate when they make a player WR/RB. It is ridicolous being up against a WR with more than 30 points and 0,1 was from recivingPosted Image
