Savage Beatings Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I'm starting up a new Keeper league this year and just wanted some opinions on the Keeper aspect of it... After this year (since this is the inagural season) we will allow each team to keep up to 3 of players from their roster for next year's team. My main question is this... should there be a maximum number of years that an owner can keep a particular player on their roster? If so, how many times would you recommend allowing an owner to keep someone? Or do you think that their should not be any maximum number of years a player is kept? Let me know your opinions, and any experience you may have had working out these details. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 IMHO everyone should be required to keep the same # of playes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot! 1469361[/snapback] My personal opinion on this is whether or not you at some point in time want the ability to draft a certain player. No limit keeper leagues you will never be able to draft LT. If you choose limits you will at some time have a chance to draft LT. I personally prefer limits, like losing the round you drafted said player and that number reduces by one each year. i.e, I draft Chad Johnson in the 3rd last year, this year he costs me a 3rd round pick to keep him, next year he costs a 2nd. Hope this makes sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Scorp Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 The Keeper league I am in allows you to keep up to five keepers for a max of 3 years, Plus you can franchise one 3rd year player for a 4th year. There is no penalty for keeping a player, if you keep less than 5 players you get a pick at the end of the draft not the beginning. The league is very competive, 5 different winners in the last 5 years. Lots of trading of players and picks. A lot of stategy involved especially if you are looking to aquire players for a stretch run! Franchise player is really neat as you can trade for a 3rd year player from another team who already has someone else they want to franchise!

Dirty Weasel Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 How about a 3-person keeper league where you can only keep players drafted after round 8? The future drafts would still be fun, since all of the top-notch players would be there. Also, you'd be rewarding those teams that picked the best sleepers the previous year. Any keeper can be kept for the round you drafted them in, then you have to toss them back on the 3rd year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 our league allows you to keep three players, but no more than one player from any position. This way, each year's draft holds some intrigue. For instance, this year, I have to decide between Bulger and Green at QB, James and Brown at RB, and Smith/TO at WR. It also makes sure that there are some decent payers from each position available every year. Arbitrarily, we decided that you cannot keep a player any more than three years.

When you say three years does that include the year that the player is initially drafted? Is it drafted 1 season, then kept 2 more seasons, or drafted 1 season and then kept 3 times for a total of 4 seasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 drafted 1 season and then kept 3 times for a total of 4 seasons? 1469791[/snapback] correct. The "no more than 1 player from any position" is cool for another reason: it makes for some great offseason trading. In one deal just completed, a guy without a decent RB keeper sent Chad Johnson (he decided to keep Holt and get better RB value for Chad) to another team for Clinton Portis. Sounds a little lopsided, but here is how it turned out: Team A: Manning, Portis, Holt Team B: Brady, LJ, Chad Team B had both LJ and Portis, so rather than let Portis go back into the draft, he traded him for an upgrade at WR (his best WRs prior to the trade was Wayne/Burress/Santana). Deal worked for both squads, much to the dimay of the rest of the league! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
