The FOFC Keeper League - 2009 Season

[TLK]

Tentative Schedule:

July 29th - Owners Meeting. We have three proposals up for voting. They will be posted in this thread and you can post your vote in here.

August 3rd - All keepers are due, leaving seven days before the draft to set a preference list. Remember, we have four keepers this year (QB/RB/WR/Last season rookie.)

August 10th - Draft starts with a 12 hour limit per pick. The draft clock will be active from 10:00 AM EST until 12:00 AM EST. I'm thinking we will setup a dummy league at Sportsline, so we can use their extended draft feature. It has it bugs but I'd rather run it there than over the message board.

August 20th - Draft continues with normal draft rules. Two hours per pick with the clock active from 10:00 AM EST until 12:00 AM EST. You are encouraged to setup a draft list as the Sportsline "robot" tends to favor QB's.


We will be using Sportsline for the draft. It's unfortunate to have to use two sites, but Sportsline is the only site to offer the slow draft that I know of. I hope to have the draft room setup by this weekend.

[TLK]

All owners will need to vote on these proposals. Majority rules. Post your votes in this thread or via private message.

1. Expanding the playoffs. The top three teams in each division would go into the top bracket with the best record getting a bye.
The same goes for the bottom bracket. This would eliminate the middle bracket and. Yes or No

2. Limit the amount of years a player can be kept as a keeper. The amount of years a player can be kept would be limited to three.
This number would be reset if the player is moved in a trade. Also, keeping the player as the "rookie keeper" would count as a year
towards the count. If this proposal passes, 2009 would be the first year to count towards the three year limit. Yes or No

3. Defensive Scoring changes. Interceptions and Fumble Recoveries under this proposal would be revised to two points each. Also,
the points allowed totals would be modified under this proposal.
Shutout = 10
Defense gives up between 2-6 = 7
Defense gives up between 7-9 = 4
Defense gives up between 10-16 = 3
Yes or No

[TLK]

It should be noted that cubboyroy1826 will be taking over for H_B.

Welcome to the league. Feel free to ask any questions.

[JAG]

Would proposal 1 shorten the regular season by a game or extend the playoffs one week?

[TLK]

Would proposal 1 shorten the regular season by a game or extend the playoffs one week?

Playoffs would begin in Week 14.

[PackerFanatic]

1. Yes (I would have made the top bracket under this rule last year, so definitely!)

2. Yes

3. Yes

[PackerFanatic]

What happens if we do not have a rookie that we can keep? I assume we'd get an extra draft pick, but where would that pick fall?

[cubboyroy1826]

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Yes

[ISiddiqui]

1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes

Extra pick at the end of the draft, IIRC.

Does anyone have a site that has ranked players for the upcoming season? I haven't bought a preview magazine yet and was curious on the take of some of my players...

My Keepers:

McNabb

Colston
Stewart (Rookie)

[Logan]

Obviously I'm not involved in this league, so feel free to just tell me to STFU :), but I have a comment on one of your rules:

Limit the amount of years a player can be kept as a keeper. The amount of years a player can be kept would be limited to three.
This number would be reset if the player is moved in a trade.

Part 1: Very good idea. Helps keep the draft pool fresh with new blood coming back into it on a rolling basis, which makes the draft more fun. My league does the exact same thing.

Part 2: This many times will defeat the primary objective of part 1. Teams could then just swap their about-to-expire keepers prior to the end of the third season ("many times" being the case because teams making a run at the title won't swap their studs), resetting the clock and keeping them out of the pool for another 3 years. And then 3 years later, do it again, and that player is retiring before he returns to the draft pool. Our league rules state a player may not appear on ANY roster for more than 3 consecutive seasons, including the year originally drafted.

Just my two cents...

[MikeVic]

I looked at that rule as at least forcing some trades. We don't have much trade activity, and I think I've only made one trade in the history of the league. So at least with this rule, we'd have to search out for the best trade if we can't keep someone again.

[Logan]

Yeah I know nothing about the history of your league, that's cool.

[ISiddiqui]

That much is true... we've been woeful about trading in this league.

[MikeVic]

Yeah I know nothing about the history of your league, that's cool.

I agree about your second point though, where the top players won't really see a draft again. I just think in this particular league, forcing any kind of trades is good enough right now.

[PackerFanatic]

...I just think in this particular league, forcing any kind of trades is good enough right now.

That was my thinking too. Granted this is only my second year, I have been in plenty of leagues where trading has been pretty much non-existent. If a stud never sees the draft again, that at least means that trades have been happening and that is a good thing I think.

[cubboyroy1826]

Okay guys quick question. Do i have to keep a player at each position? The cupboard at QB and RB are pretty bare for the team. Eli is okay but nothing special and the Colts were obviously not happy with Addai. I am just trying to get a feel for what types of players will be in the draft pool as well.

[ISiddiqui]

Nope. You get an extra pick at the end of the draft if you don't. Each keeper basically counts as a draft pick in the last 3 rounds. If you decide to keep only 2, then you get an extra draft pick. If you keep only 1, then you get two extra draft picks, etc.

[MikeVic]

Yeah, so I think it's worth keeping guys like Eli and Addai, if nothing more than backups. They're better than what you'd get at the end of the draft.

[Lathum]

post #2

[cubboyroy1826]

Thanks guys. I agree both of them are definitely better than late picks.

My keepers are:

QB Eli Manning
RB Joseph Addai
WR/TE Dwayne Bowe
Rookie: DeSean Jackson

[JAG]

1. Yes
2. Yes (originally I was against this, but I think it gives people some more strategic decisions to make and potentially encourages more trading (as others have stated) which I favor)
3. Yes (modest improvement, but at least better than it has been)


Would people be ok with an addendum for 2. that if a new player takes over a franchise, any keepers in their third year get a one-year extension? The idea being that a team that might be miserable doesn't have to start with really cruddy talent and gives the new owner more options.


Keepers:
QB: Romo
RB: Peterson
WR: Jennings
Rookie: Slaton

Subject to change prior to Aug. 3rd if someone tears a ligament of course.

[cubboyroy1826]

I would be for the revision for new owners.

[TLK]

1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes

[Lathum]

are trades currently allowed?

[Lathum]

Keepers

Quinn
Boldin

McFadden-rookie

[MikeVic]

are trades currently allowed?

I think so, as long as they're your keepers.

[MikeVic]

Keepers:
Brees
Jackson
Welker

I don't think I have a rookie, so there goes that spot.

[samifan24]

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes

Keepers:

QB: Rivers
RB: Barber
WR: Marshall
Rookie: Royal

[Eaglesfan27]

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes

Finally, feeling like an idiot here, but I cannot find our rosters. When I try to go to last year's league site, it says the league is private. Can anyone point me towards my roster so I can decide on keepers tonight?

I like this idea as well.

[PackerFanatic]

I also like JAG's addendum as well.

[sterlingice]

Are we still playing on Flea Flicker this year? Or are we moving?

(Just now, trying to find out who is a rookie and check on stats on ff reminded me just how annoying their interface is- I'm looking at my roster in one tab and looking them up in Yahoo as it's quicker...)

SI

[sterlingice]

Tentative keepers (other possibilities are in parens, but they're for my personal edification). If I don't post anything further, these are my guys:

QB: Tom Brady (Schaub, Hill, Flacco)
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew (Westbrook, Lewis, Rice)
WR: Larry Fitzgerald (White, Hester, Harrison)
RK: Ray Rice (Flacco)

Of course, subject to the same injury qualifications and all...

SI

[saldana]

keepers:

qb = peyton manning
rb = willie parker (i cant believe how bad my team sucks)
wr = reggie wayne

[saldana]

dola, i am good with JAGs addendum

[JAG]

For cubbyroy and because some folks forgot this past season, repeating this from last season with a minor update:

For the benefit of the newer players, this rule has sometimes thrown people entering the league, it might be of use to clarify prior to drafting (if not, well, it didn't take a lot of time to put together):

Starting lineup min/max:

QB: 1/1
RB: 1/2
WR: 2/3
TE: 0/1
K: 1/1
DEF: 1/1

That means the following lineups for RBs / WRs / TEs would be legal:

2 RB, 3 WR ...or...
2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE ...or...
1 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE

I don't think there would be any other combo of RBs / WRs / TEs allowed.

This means you are not required to field a TE so long as you have enough WRs and RBs

[Eaglesfan27]

keepers:

QB: Matt Cassel
RB: Clinton Portis
WR: Hines Ward

[saldana]

i am actually contemplating keeping aaron rodgers instead of peyton....cant decide if i should have my head examined or not

[samifan24]

I accidentally wrote in the 2008 thread but can I change my keepers now since the deadline isn't until tomorrow?

[JAG]

I would say yes, if you make the changes prior to tomorrow, based on TLK's comments in the first post.

[samifan24]

Keepers:

QB: Rivers
RB: Barber
WR: Marshall
Rookie: Royal

Changed to:

QB: Rivers
RB: Barber
WR: Edwards
Rookie: Royal

[TLK]

QB - J. Delhomme
RB - B. Jacobs
WR- C. Johnson
RB- K. Smith

We're not using Fleaflicker anymore or is MyFantasyLeague.com only for the draft portion?

[johnnyshaka]

Just a heads up, I'll be traveling for the rest of the week and won't have much time until I get back...late on the 10th. My guess is that it won't get to my picks at the end of the first round/top of the second round (yeah, that was a dig from the champs!) until sometime on the 12th but I'll do my best to get a list ready if need be.

I'm in a similar situation in that I will be out of town from tomorrow afternoon until Sunday evening and won't be checking email/internet as much

I had to wait until I had all the addresses. You should have the password for the draft.

We're still using Fleaflicker to run the league. MyFantasyLeague will be used for the draft and then deleted. Fleaflicker doesn't allow for an extended draft.

Fantasy Football: FOFC Keeper League Draft (http://football20.myfantasyleague.com/2009/options?L=50176&O=17)

If anyone sees any problems... let me know. The site is very basic, but is the best option we have.

[TLK]

Schedule:


August 10th - Draft starts with a 12 hour limit per pick. The draft clock will be active from 10:00 AM EST until 12:00 AM EST. I'm thinking we will setup a dummy league at MyFantasyLeague.com, so we can use their extended draft feature.

August 20th - Draft continues with normal draft rules. Two hours per pick with the clock active from 10:00 AM EST until 12:00 AM EST. You are encouraged to setup a draft list.


In the event of a missed pick, the system will automatically pick a player for the owner based on the highest-ranked available player, on the owner's "My Draft List" player ranking, and then once that list is exhausted, according to rankings displayed on the ADP page.

[Lathum]

did we always do a snake draft?

Yes I received it. I like MyFantasyLeague from what I've seen so far. I like Fleaflicker except that it's really, really hard to find breaking or any player news for that matter.

[samifan24]

Ok how do you look up the default player rankings on MyFantasyLeague? I keep getting a blank page even when I click over to 2008 rankings.

[Lathum]

so if you go to free agents you can see everyone listed alphabeticaly but there is no way to see stats without clicking on the players name

[cubboyroy1826]

Yeah it kinda looks like you are stuck searching by name.

[Eaglesfan27]

did we always do a snake draft?

Yes.

[cubboyroy1826]

If you go to the top of the page and click on the drop down for Owners and then select my draft list you will get a list of players. Once you have that pulled up click on ADP and it will rank the players by their average draft position.

[JAG]

Just to confirm, is trading now open for keepers / draft picks?

[TLK]

Just to confirm, is trading now open for keepers / draft picks?

Keepers... yes. I don't think we've ever traded picks, but I don't see a problem with it. I'd like to see any trades have equal number of players per side, so everyone comes out of the draft with 14 players.

[saldana]

did we always do a snake draft?

Yes.

ive only been in the one season, so i am likely wrong, but it doesnt really make a lot of sense to me that we are snaking the draft order.

yeah, i get #1, but then i take a nap and sit around for 22 picks til i go again at 24...i dont get how this is supposed to help me improve my team...snake drafts are great for leagues that start from scratch, but in a keeper league where the table is tilted toward one end, i always thought the draft was supposed to level it out.

I agree with this. I think it is something we need to vote on for next year.

[cubboyroy1826]

Yeah i also agree with snaking a keeper league might not make sense. This is definitely something that should be voted on next year.

[TLK]

With the three year keeper rule, drafting at the bottom of the round would be a huge disadvantage. I'm a certified loser in this league and I prefer a snake draft.

[JAG]

I personally have liked the snake drafts (even as someone who has been first or last on 3 occasions), but with the rookie keeper rule addition and the 3 yr rule addition (potentially pushing more talent than normal into the early draft every season), there might be some merit in changing it so the best finishing teams don't get a couple of premium players at the end of the first.

Or if that's too extreme, maybe make the first two rounds in order of finish and then snaking thereafter. That might mean round 1 would have to be done in a thread but I don't think that's a big deal.

[Lathum]

I think it will be interesting to see how it works out this year and if the bottom tier teams don't show improvment then look at it.

It is odd though, the worst team picks 1st them not until 24th.

I'm actually more interested to see what the draft pool looks like the following season when the first round of rookie keepers from a season ago enter the draft (or else other players that were kept in their respective positions this season). I would think that should be a pretty strong draft.

[saldana]

we start monday morning, correct?

what time?

I've set my pre-draft lists for the first four rounds so should it get to me tomorrow it *should* pick for me right away. We'll see how it goes.

[saldana]

first 2 are done...lathum is up.

[Lathum]

OK, we have a trade to announce

Lathum gives 1.3 (3rd), 2.10 (22th), 4.10 (46th)
Jag gives 1.6 (6th), 2.7 (19th), 3.6 (30th)

Ah nevermind, finally found it.

[Lathum]

Cubroy is up

[samifan24]

Quick question: I've set a draft queue of about 5 players just to start out but my team isn't marked with "pre-draft selection made" on the draft page. How do I tell it to go ahead and draft from that list? Or does "pre-draft selection made" mean something different?

Don't confuse "My Draft List" with pre-draft selections. The draft list, I think, will only kick in when your time runs out. Pre-draft selections supposedly are picked right away. To do the pre-draft selections go to the "For Owners" menu at the top of the page and then select "Draft" from the drop down menu. There you can add players you want to pick in a particular round.

[JAG]

Go to 'My team page' and 'Make a draft or pre-draft pick'. Then you can add players to your queue.

[JAG]

For the record, both of the above options bring you to the same page.

[samifan24]

Go to 'My team page' and 'Make a draft or pre-draft pick'. Then you can add players to your queue.

I was just about to ask: how do I make my pick? Could they have buried the "draft player" option any more?

[PackerFanatic]

Glad we aren't using this site for our league, it seems really convoluted.

My pick is in, BTW.

[Lathum]

my pick is in also.

Gambled trading down but I figured Rodgers would be there still and I need the stability at QB. Nice to know I am set there for the next 3 years.

Of course this is the year Quinn goes nuts and puts up 4000 yards and 30 TDs

[MikeVic]

Can someone tell me how they're checking for taken players? I was just going to use the player search option, but just found out it doesn't even tell you if the dude is on a team!

[Lathum]

If you go to for owners/ my draft list it lists available players

[johnnyshaka]

On the left, click "Draft" from the League menu.

[JAG]

The Rosters page will tell you all the taken players, but I don't know if there's a drop-down list of taken players. If there is I didn't see it with a brief look.

[PackerFanatic]

You can also go to Reports > League > Draft to see the running list of draft picks.

[Lathum]

well happy picking all!

I'll be checking back in about 5 hours.

I should probably try my login. I forgot my laptop charger (well, technically the dongle between the charger and laptop) for the 4 days I was back in Kansas so time to catch back up

Can you guys put this through on the FleaFlicker site? I was trying to update the draft over there and have no way of putting this trade through over there.

[MikeVic]

Thanks guys. Is there a full compiled keeper list somewhere? This site is still driving me bonkers.

[MikeVic]

Oh nevermind, I see a roster list.

[JAG]

Done (just need Lathum to accept, though I'm not sure if there's an amount of time that has to pass before the trade goes through).

[Lathum]

accepted.

One damn pick is all we got through since I have been gone.

Jeez, it's not like the doctor has patients to see or anything ;) ;)

[Eaglesfan27]

I set a draft list and thought it would use it. I was wrong. Sorry for the delay, my pick is made.

[Eaglesfan27]

Dola -

I'm no longer able to surf from work (except to a very few sites), so I'll be relying on lists throughout the draft.

So I am hoping the delays today are caused by the fact most of us had no idea how to use the software.

[sterlingice]

Sorry, guys- I'm on call for work this week so on top of catching up from being gone last week- that's getting in the way of things. I should be more on top of stuff from this point on, provided servers don't need fixing

So is there an actual clock that shows how much time someone has to make their pick anywhere?

The clock is supposed to be off during the evening meaning that ISiddiqui should have a good bit more time, though I have no idea how the draft will handle this or if it was even an option for TLK to set.

[ISiddiqui]

I believe I fell prey to the not knowing how lists work (compared to pre-draft picks). I picked the guy remaining off my list, btw.

[sterlingice]

Made my pick so Vic's Heroes is up

SI

[MikeVic]

Done.

[PackerFanatic]

I think it is silly that the draft list does not get updated when a guy is picked.

[MikeVic]

Yeah I agree. I went into mine and saw T.O., Roy Williams, etc... and was excited. Pffft. Yeah right.

[sterlingice]

Also agreed. I was split between Houshme-- yeah, however he's spelled- and Jackson so since he went next, I guess I was looking at the right two for my pick.

Pick made it looks like we are back to Lathum.

[Lathum]

Pick is in.

Took Gostkowski. I know it was early but the trade I made gave me some flexibility to take a chance and I figured I would take the kicker that figures to have a boatload of points and a WR in the next round.

[johnnyshaka]

I'm starting to regret this comment.

[ISiddiqui]

Sorry... told y'all I'd have a limited schedule these two weeks... but better to stretch it a tad bit... you know for preseason games ;).

[sterlingice]

As odd as this is to say, most of these picks have been kindof obvious to me. I'll have a subset of a couple of players left when it gets to me but, for the most part, I've taken what the draft has given as an "obvious" best player available. Kindof like the drafting version of the run-and-shoot ;)

Don't get me wrong- I had to decide between 4 QBs, 2 RBs, and a handful of WRs just now, but in the end, the decison seemed easy. Housh vs V Jackson was my only "tough" decision so far.

I'm sure it's going to get sketchier from this point on, tho.

I was surprised Owen Daniels fell so far. Good get at that pick.

I think a lot of people are expecting to play a 3rd WR instead of a TE...I guess we will see which strategy works better!

[sterlingice]

Yeah, you don't have to play a TE and most 3rd WRs are better than a TE, hence the lack of TE picking

SI

[ISiddiqui]

Exactly. I don't think I've drafted or picked up a TE ever in this keeper league.

Same. I mean, it would be one thing if, say, circa-2004 Tony Gonzalez were sitting out there at this point- he'd be worth more than a lot of 2nd WRs and even some #1's. But he's not

Then again, some of the TEs picked now are going to do better than their WR counterparts across the season.

You can't play 4 WRs though. You can play 3 WRs and a TE (though only 1 RB). I only have 3 RBs, I have 6 WRs, and I didn't see anyone left at any major position that interested me, so I grabbed a TE since he's decent. I'm pretty sure that's the first TE I've drafted in the past 3 or so years.

Either way, it barely matters. I can't remember a season where I didn't dump someone on the back end of my roster early on.

[sterlingice]

Yeah, that's definitely true. But almost everyone is going to be playing 2 RBs. I think it's pretty rare to see a RB, 4 WR set in this league.

Also, I can't seem to reach the draft page. Is the site down for anyone else?

Down for me as well.

[ISiddiqui]

Ok, who made such a horrible pick that the draft page had to kill itself? ;)

[sterlingice]

Plaxico Burress, anyone? ;)

Yes, you can start 4 WRs as you have two slots where you can only start a WR, one slot where you start RB/WR, and another where you start WR/TE.

I'm able to get to the draft site now.

Ah, alright. Faulty reasoning then (though it makes me happier about my WR stable), though I still stand by 'I didn't like anyone so I picked a semi-decent (fantasy-wise) TE' and I'll throw a dart at a kicker who's left to end my draft.

EDIT: Site is back up for me as well.

[johnnyshaka]

For the record, I don't have an issue with your pick of Daniels, especially this late.

I took Clark a little earlier but I highly doubt he sees the field (or even makes the cut before the season starts) for us except because of injury woes or else bye week issues. I like him better than several WR2s out there, especially when he's healthy.

I stand by that pick

[MikeVic]

I stand by that pick

lol, just teasing.

[JAG]

Exactly. I don't think I've drafted or picked up a TE ever in this keeper league.

And the streak is broken.

awesome

[ISiddiqui]

Argh... dammit... this is what happens when you don't pay attention to when your pick is up :mad:

[saldana]

both my picks are done...i took two more tight ends

[Eaglesfan27]

Fight on Steve Smith!

[MikeVic]

Draft done!

[Lathum]

didnt even realize it

[saldana]

wooo hooo...anyone need a tight end?

[TLK]

I'll get the rosters imported at Fleaflicker by the end of the weekend...

[johnnyshaka]

wooo hooo...anyone need a tight end?

My wife could probably use an upgrade in that department.

(she would likely say the same about me!!)

[sterlingice]

I was just reading through some of the draft comments. That Gould joke was awful. I approve :D

SI

[MikeVic]

I tried commenting after all of my picks, but that Gould joke takes the cake for sure.

[JAG]

I laughed at your Elam line.

[MikeVic]

yay!

[ISiddiqui]

I'll get the rosters imported at Fleaflicker by the end of the weekend...

Thanks for putting in the work :)

[Lathum]

Thanks for putting in the work :)

+1

[Eaglesfan27]

+2. Thanks TLK!

[samifan24]

Thanks for putting in the work :)

Thanks TLK!

[sterlingice]

Another hearty thanks :)

[johnnyshaka]

I don't want to be the only unappreciative bastard...so, thanks, TLK!!

[JAG]

Ditto'ed

[cubboyroy1826]

Here here.

[TLK]

Thanks for the good words guys.

I believe the rosters are good to go. Could everyone please check their roster just to be sure? Also, we will be allowed to pickup free agents starting Monday, with a full waiver process.

[saldana]

i may be last, but i am certainly not least...oh wait i am least, as in number of wins last season anyway, in saying thanks TLK for the commish services.

[johnnyshaka]

Ours looks fine, thanks.

[ISiddiqui]

Looks fine from here.

[Lathum]

good for me

[saldana]

looks good

[PackerFanatic]

Looks good to me - thanks for your hard work, TLK!

[sterlingice]

Mine looks good, but I'm short one "A. Peterson, Min" as I remember a league clause that I somehow get a spare copy of the best RB in the league ;)

SI

[ISiddiqui]

To rectify the problem we can give you "A. Peterson, Chi" ;)

[sterlingice]

That's ok. I'll overlook this oversight this year ;)

SI

[MikeVic]

My team looks correct. Thanks for the hard work!

[Lathum]

Waiver picks?

[TLK]

Waiver picks?

Working on that. I'll probably have to come up with an alternative way to process them because FleaFlicker won't allow for a preseason waiver process. I'll figure something out this weekend for Monday.

[PackerFanatic]

That's odd...silly Fleaflicker

[Lathum]

hmm

[TLK]

*Important*

I plan on processing the waiver transactions manually. PM me here with your waiver moves and I will process them in order next Monday morning. Make sure to list who you are dropping in addition to who you are adding.

[johnnyshaka]

Is next Monday the last chance to nab players before the start of the season or will we have another opportunity?

I'll open up the add/drops after the waiver picks are picked.

[johnnyshaka]

Sounds good, thanks.
