darkwolf220 posted:These are a lot of the arguments I made back when we increased defense scoring to begin with. Too many times for my taste the right answer to 'Which defense should I play?' was none. People just didn't want to risk losing points. Or you had two complete teams play each other and the defenses looked inept because it was a shootout. There are very few situations where you should get punished for starting a player, but with defenses it felt like that punishment happened 3 or 4 games a season. Pain of Mind posted:Outside of literally the top few players at a position and QBs, even bad defenses will outscore the majority of the first and second round picks.

Ok, the draft order has been set, the punter position has been added (14 round draft now), and the schedule has been finalized. Big thanks again to Econdad for helping me make that spreadsheet last year, it made it really easy to find/replace all the teams and you should all now have some fresh matchups. Only thing left to do is decide the punter scoring but other than that, I think we're good to go. Draft is in 12 days! You should now be able to trade picks if you want to. Here's the schedule, as formatted as it's gonna get here, please check out ESPN if you want a prettier version.

Maybe the shifting doesn't work as well as I'd hoped, and I just need to randomize each year all five slots. Give me a bit, I'll have to redo this.

Disregard the list above, I'm going to randomize each division's slots and make sure people aren't in the same slots as before. I can't guarantee that someone won't play a similar matchup from last year, but it's going to be more randomized than the slide up/slide down method.

Looks like most people who've responded in the last couple of days want to try Pmchem's solution or are mainly indifferent to punter scoring, so to make it easier and get it finalized, I'm just going to go ahead and implement that scoring for this season.

Random fun fact: QBs taken in the first 2 rounds in the last 3 seasons. 2019: 3 2020: 7 2021: 9 Will this trend continue? Experts say Lol, the three QBs taken in 2019 were Pat Mahomes, Deshaun Watson and Baker Mayfield. Gonna say those might not be the first three off the board this year.

But you actually bring up a point I was thinking of making (and possibly making an official proposal for next year). Right now, here are the settings for trades: With Thursday night football, you can't make any trades that will help you if you need it on Thursday since the waivers process on Wednesdays and trades take 2 days to process. I'd like to consider dropping that down to either 1 day with 8 vetoes or instantly with no vetoes (barring collusion trades). Or, we could just keep it as is with 2 days/8 vetoes. Wonder what y'all think about it? We don't trade a ton in this league, and I'm wondering if this would help spur more of them.

That really has not been the case here, I cannot recall the last time any trade got vetoed. There is not too much incentive to be a jerk between it being free, people being in multiple leagues with each other, and it trending towards more experienced fantasy people since it is 20 teams.

None of my leagues are actually mock draftable between 20 teams, 16 teams, keeper leagues, IDP etc. Yeah, I mostly do them for fun but I've found Sleeper's mocks are close enough if you squint. They at least seem to be accurate as to where people actually begin to take kickers and D/STs. Previously I used to just use Fantasypros but they seem t think that nobody will even look at those positions until the last few rounds. I've been farting around with Sleeper and checking out what happens if I randomly assign a number of QBS to teams in every round, going roughly by what the averages have been in the past and rolling a 20-sided die, before actually starting the draft. It's a stupid amount of effort and the draft will probably go sideways by the 5th pick but I like the mental exercise. Edit: would also like to stress that "no," "nah" or "eeeeeh, no thanks, I'm good" are all totally acceptable answers to the trade I am proposing.
