Are there any Dynasty leagues out there?

I've been playing Fantasy football for a number of years. I would like to join in another Dynasty League so let me know if you need an owner!

I'm going to start one up from scratch...

 

It'll be a thin air league with either 12/24/or 36 teams depoending on interest (in a 24 or 36 team league we would have two copies of every player availible -only one per team- ... if we can get that many owners interested) with big rosters, 28 man rosters, that allows you to stash rookies and prospects. has a starting lineup like this:

 

2 QBs, 3 RBs, 6 WRs, 2 TEs, 2 PKs, 2 D/STs

 

Really, anybody who gets on the field has value. You interested in that setting?

 

Dynasty leagues can be zzzzzz if you don't have a way of prying players off of rosters (and maybe compensating owners for losing their players). And it wouldn't be pure dynasty, it'd be a 20 man keeper which would be close to the same thing ... twenty is much more than any redraft league use as entire rosters but allows for some shuffling.

 

YOu have have to find ways to inject some life into dynasty leagues, so modifying it to a 20 man keeper helps. Some of those players being unprotected would have to be good players too. We can either using contract lengths or NFL contracts to shake up rosters a bit otherwise things get too stale. So it'll be easier to get to 20 knowing that you can't protect a guy you would normally protect anyways.

 

The league I'm in now will pry a player off a team when he's cut, his contract is over, or he moves to another NFL team via trade. If we do it that way, we would open those players up to bidding where the owner losing the player could either let the player walk and accept the cash being bid on his player or else bid for his own player to come back too.

 

Another way is to assign contract lengths to players's contracts and players are freed up when they have completed their contracts. I've never done it this way, but it's been done successfully too and has been recommended.

 

I would want the scoring to be really standard vanilla production league like I used in the Interboard league... but with fractional yardage (instead of 1pt/10 yards it'd be .1 pt/1 yard) and four points for a safety insted of just two.

Another thing is that it would be that it would be a money league. Now with money dynsaty leagues, what always happens is an owner drives his team into the ground, gets disillusioned and quits leaving the rest of the league with the hassle of finding an owner willing to subsidize the league for a few years. I don't want that to happen to us. What I want is for owners to pay for three years up front. If their team is .428 (6-8) or better, they can withdraw from the league during the offseason and that deposit money is returned to them. If their team is 5-9 or worse, they cannot abandon the team and recoup their money. That money will be set aside to make it more palatable for a new owner willing to take over a rebuilding franchise.

 

Or something like that. I just don't think it's fair to ask a new owner to subsidze the league champion somebody else's screw ups for a few years. I'd like it to be easy to attract new owners.

 

Anyways, that's the gist of what I'm looking at. Nothing is set in stone other than the large rosters and starting lineups ... I don't want a 16 player/team league with normal 1/2/3/1/1 starting lineups. I want a big rosters with Aaron Rodgers/Jason Campbell type guys sitting on the bench and the QB situation in Detroit or Buffallo to actually matter for starting purposes.

No thanks. But good luck getting started.
