Gauging interest in a 12 person TBD Dynasty League

In a dynasty league I think a salary cap or some sort of roster movement being forced is actually good for the league.  If there isn't any difficulty to keeping players or decisions to be made you will end up with a couple of super teams that can't be beaten which will drive people from the league.  The best part of dynasty for me is those off season decisions and not just building but maintaining your team.

 

 

If that's your stance, you may prefer keeper leagues or something with salary cap/financial considerations.

I think the term "dynasty" in dynasty league COMES from the allure of building a really good team that competes for multiple championships. In my experience in dynasty leagues so far, there's plenty of player movement. Those that regularly contend often try to load up on players by trading away future picks. Those that AREN'T doing so hot make trades or try to acquire draft picks to rebuild. Some dynasty owners even love undertaking a full-on rebuild, piling up draft picks and scouting rookies. The thing is: If the "loading up on draft picks" guy HITS on those picks, HE can become the perennial contender pretty quickly. And if the "trade away all my picks for players" guy's players age out or start getting injured, his team can crash and burn pretty quickly.

As for player movement: other than the draft and waiver wire, the only real way to acquire star players is to trade with other teams. In my experience (at least in a good and active dynasty league), you have a league full of people who find roster building and tinkering fun, and trade talks themselves are fun, so you end up having quite a bit of interaction and trading.

Nevertheless, I understand the allure of salary cap and being forced to cut players and all that. There's certainly a market for that type of thing. That's just not what I'm envisioning this being.

Morning coffee at 10:00?

What are you, a banker ? - )

 

 

 I wish!

 

I don't get to sit down at my desk until 9:30-10,  by the time I get the kids up and dropped off at different schools, drive to work, check the status of the staff in warehouse and office, put out any fires. Then I sit and start checking e-mails and have my coffee.

 

3hours into my day, lol

Dude saw "dynasty league" and was like "IN!".

My kinda fantasy football degenerate 😋

You're right. I'm heard so much about Fantasy Football and it sounds like alot of fun and I thought I would try it.

 

I'm not clear on how the old TV show Dynasty fits in, but I better look up who shot JR. I guess binge watching the re-runs is the best way to get ready for the draft.

 

Being kinda new to this, I look forward to all kinds of helpful advice. 

 

Kickers must be really valuable right?!? I mean they are involved on almost every scoring play!

[Bookie Man]

dynasty is the way to go. i'd be in.

Fair enough, I'm in either way.

I would be interested in some best ball. Slow draft

I really like this idea.  It might be difficult to organize as I don't know if sleeper can handle that but this would be a cool idea.  Perhaps SDS could add something as well to recognize the champ on the board maybe where it says community member replace it with tbd champ or something.

I know head-to-head is all that, but going with some sort of point total could create a cross conference completion that everyone would enjoy, at least for a championship extravaganza. So many fun ideas when starting up a league. Multiple conferences.

I'm definitely interested. Never been in a dynasty league before. I typically play in yahoo leagues each year and it sucks when people aren't active in discussions and such. I like the idea of having the same group of people year to year.

If the buy in is 50-100, I'd be ok with that.

 

Do you know how big the roster will be.  with 10 starters would the rosters be 20+?

 

thanks.

[34-78-83]

I'm interested. Long time fantasy player here (since '97) and have done many types of leagues but not yet a dynasty league, but always wanted to. Attentive player and I commish other leagues.

[Turbo44]

If accepted, I would be in

10 Starters, likely 15 bench spots to start. 

That's how both of my other dynasty leagues started. One league voted to add an additional bench spot in year three, one voted against it.

You wanna try to find the sweet spot. If you make your benches too deep, then the waiver wire is bone dry and it's impossible to make meaningful roster moves.
