Keepers selected
also, I choose to drop Johnson
I'm new to this league but I've been playing fantasy football for over 20 years. I've never been in a league that kept 10 players. That's a HUGE number. Forcing every team to keep 10 players also seems strange. Why should a team be forced to keep a player that they don't want? By forcing 10 keepers on every team, all that you're doing is keeping the strong teams strong and making the weak teams weaker. You're also taking a lot of the strategy out of choosing keepers.
The ESPN site will handle not all teams having the same number of keepers. They even talk about it in their FAQ:
What if I choose not to keep the maximum number of players allowed in my keeper league?
If an owner chooses not to keep the maximum number of players allowed, they will draft a new player from the available pool once all keepers have been retained. For example, assuming a four team league with a maximum of three keepers, where two owners choose not to keep three players, a straight (not snake) draft will occur as follows:
1st round:
Adam obtains first of three keepers
Brian obtains first of two keepers
Chris obtains first of three keepers
Dave drafts a player from available player pool
2nd round:
Adam obtains second of three keepers
Brian obtains second of two keepers
Chris obtains second of three keepers
Dave drafts player from available player pool
3rd round:
Adam obtains third of three keepers
Brian drafts player from available player pool
Chris obtains third of three keepers
Dave drafts player from available player pool
4th round (regular draft selections for all owners):
Adam drafts player from available player pool
Brian drafts player from available player pool
Chris drafts player from available player pool
Dave drafts player from available player pool
5th Round (regular draft selections for all owners and snake format begins):
Dave
Chris
Brian
Adam
etc.
By not forcing 10 keepers on each team, you're making team owners decide between keeping a player or getting a draft pick at that spot. Much more strategy involved.
Just my $.02.
I wish you luck my friend.........Quote:

i just play along, I gave up the fight. Still the only two keeper leagues I've ever played in that force you to keep 10
I'll get on things tomorrow night.
This league (Black n Gold) has been in existence this year for 6 years, there really has not been an issue with the number of keepers until recently. I have taken over the League Manager duties for this league, I have been in this league since it started in 2008, and majority of the owners of this league has never expressed any feelings one way or another in regards to the number of keepers for the league. We just recently over the past 2 years have had 1-2 of the owners express how they feel, but nothing to challenge the settings. When you keep less then the required amount of keepers set (10), this will create a mess at the draft, owners with 6 keepers will draft 4 times before someone who has kept their 10 keepers. This happened before, and the draft had to be rescheduled for this to be straighten out. No one is being forced to comply with any of the rules of the Black n Gold League, if you feel this is something you just can't agree with, we will understand.
I took care of everything and my team is now up to date. I'm good to go.
I think your in the other league, right?Quote:

There wasn't any type of attitude from myself whatsoever, you just read too much into the message. You yourself used the word "forcing", I responded by say no one in the league is being forced to do anything they don't agree with. You've taken the step to leave both leagues, you have every right to do so. Take care of yourself and enjoy the season.
Chose my 10 keepers and left matt ryan off as my compulsary drop.
Looking forward to the draft .
Our draft is this coming Sunday at 6:30pm est
Thank God. My other draft is at 8 on Sunday, so that works out perfectly.Quote:

Good draft guys,went through quickly.
Very pleased to add greg jennings,russell wilson to my roster
0-1 time to bounce back in week 2.
W this week makes me 1-1 thanks to monster show from julio jones
How can you score 153 points in week 1 and 138 in week 2, and still end up 0-2? Unbelievable. I might be done before the damn season's gotten started.
I have some players on the TB, I'm open to all trades and counters. I'm looking for a QB
Thats a tough break ,you must have been playing the high scorer for each week.I am sure your luck will change.Quote:

Moved to 4-2 and feeling good about how this team is shaping up.
Fall to 4-3 after a loss this week.
some of my best players are on a bye this week, could be tough.
Wonderful...Rodgers is now injured and will be out a month. I never should have agreed to trade Rivers...broke my "no trades" vow. Last time I make any trades with anyone in any league no matter who I get offered in return.
Trades make the season more fun. I intentionally offered you more than I was getting just so I could have a more consistent QB. It's just unlucky that the guy I really wanted(that you wouldn't let go of(can't say I blame you either)) got hurt. At least you have Cam, he's a helluva player, just a bit inconsistent.Quote:
