NFL Fantasy Football - GAABoard Superbowl 2023

[AZOffaly]

Thanks very much. I'll get to ignoring them immediately

Not every RB is like Arian Foster. 60 yards rushing is easily a more worthy effort than a 1yard rushing effort or a one yard reception for a TD. That is just the way it should be. If the rules remain 1 point for 20 yards rushing I will just draft the much more effective wide receivers first and leave the RBs until the later roundsn

[magpie seanie]

I don't see why we'd be dropping DL men personally. I'd love it if LB's were included!

[DrinkingHarp]

These would be the only changes I see that are needed:

All (passing, rushing, receiving, defensive* or return) TD's should have the same value of 6.

*A defensive player will get bonus pts for recover/Int so it should be just 6.

PAT miss should have a higher minus value (like -9 or -10) since it is pretty much a given point play.

30-39 yd FG miss -3

Keep the DLs but have an option to put a LB in their spot if possible on yahoo.


Otherwise it is set up pretty fair. You don't want to reward mediocre play.

[Lone Shark]

Hey Az  did you give any taught to the dumping of the DLs in favour of one/two more DB(s)

I hadn't to be honest, but I kind of like that idea. Anyone else got strong feelings on that?

Personally I'd be against, the status quo was good. I used to enjoy picking out matchups each week against weak offensive lines, or QB's who liked to hold on to the ball to the last second (Big Ben!).

That's the beauty of NFL, the roles are genuinely different and yet each one is crucial in it's own way. If there was a way of incorporating offensive line, I'd be for that too.


Four up and four down is fine - to be honest I was just thinking that it might encourage more people to get involved if you can fly up the rankings a bit quicker. I know I'd be frustrated if I was div 2 or 3 and it was harder to go up than to get to the Div 1 playoffs. Plus if I get relegated and say this next year, people will say it's only out of self interest...

[Capt Pat]

There should hardly be divisions at all. It is a bit too serious and takes some of the crack out of it. There will be people joining this year who will be unfairly stuck in divisions 2 & 3 for donkeys years. The four up four down system would be more effective and interesting.

Four up Four down it is. It's only a way to have a satisfactory way of deciding the champion that's driving this, and I think a hierarchy is the best way of doing that, each league has a champion.

The Divisions within the leagues are only for the purposes of mimicing the real deal, and a preference I have.

As for the DL, the reason I don't like it is that there are often people missing off the DL lists, and LBs are rolled in with DLs, which is unfair because it's a completely different position. Also a lot of LBs are not included. DB seems to have most if not all Safeties and Corners, which is why I like it, but I'm not pushed either way.  Can we get a last minute push for the leagues to join up lads, Dinny are you in? I'm going to be contacting ye shortly to get moving into your leagues, and finalising draft dates and overall rules.

I deleted the Tribesmen from the Payton but it says I need a league ID and password to join a new league (Montana)? I tried 305948 and cardinals but it says there is no room in the league. Presume teams still have to leave it to make space.

The league id is the last 6 digits in that URL (305948) and the password is cardinals.

All (passing, rushing, receiving, defensive* or return) TD's should have the same value of 6.

We had that at the start and the QBs had massive scores up.
The points have been modified down the years and are fairly close to been fair at the moment.

The obvious glich is the RBs and its very hard to deal with it.
Currently a 20yd TD run will get you virtually the same points as a guy who goes in from half a yard.
Buts it the same in soccer. The penalty taker will be worth more due to getting the "easy" shot.

Maybe if there was a way to credit the guy doing the hard work
For example if you gave 2bonus points if an RB has 20+ (or 25+) in the game.
It might soften the blow for the owners of guys who lose goal line carries.

As regards the DB and DL. I would be in favour and 1 X DL and 2 X DB and use the extra space for another receiving position like a W/T (WR or TE) which we previously had.
If there are only 12 teams per division there would be more than enough to fill the rosters.

i like that idea Rossie

Actually there should only be 10 teams per league if we all sign up to make 30 (3x10).

[AZOffaly]

Lets focus on filling the 3 leagues, and then we can tweak the scoring/rules if we want to. There are a couple of ideas I've seen that I think merit some discussion, but lets do one thing at a time.

Having the same problem as GBB. Can you increase the max teams per league while we are moving house...
