smperry 0 Posted July 30, 2021 We are old school, 12 good buddies, free but competitive league(now) and have never make changes to scoring or setup in 25 years. 1qb, 2wrs, 2rbs, 1te, 1k, 1d. Plus 5 bench players. I would like to add in a flex player or two and maybe even points per reception. Anything else to spice it up? What do you suggest that has worked the best for your league? Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted July 30, 2021 Change it from a free league to a $100 entry fee, and the loser has to get a tattoo of Trump getting vaccinated while wearing a mask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brutal Brutus 182 Posted July 30, 2021 Based on your current set up, I'd say you need to get more position players started every week. With only 24 wrs and rbs started across the league, you're only scratching the surface of players. I'd add a wr slot and a flex. Just by adding those two spots you're going from 48 non te position players to 72. Everything from your draft, to starting lineups, to waiver wire would change dramatically. Third down and back up running backs, secondary receivers all become relevant and potential starting options. Adding an extra bench spot or two would be a good too if you do this. Other suggestions. If you aren't using FAAB for waivers, that's a solid change leagues should be looking into. Two win system. Teams get a head to head win and a win for being in the top half of league scores. The impact of losing because of a bad matchup is lessoned, and rarely do teams with most points scored miss the playoffs. Switching scoring systems is always on option, but I don't think it makes a league more or less fun, just different. It can also be hard for established leagues to agree to scoring changes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 403 Posted July 30, 2021 I would suggest two things. Don't change the rules all at once. Maybe add one change per season. Add a flex spot this season, go PPR next. Also one scoring change I would highly recommend is scoring play distance pts, For example, a TD on a play of 40-49 yards is 8 pts, and then a TD on a plays of 50+ yds is 10 pts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted July 30, 2021 I would agree, stop with the free league ideal, when someone pays they get more involved right away. I would just add a flex slot. And make it 6 deep on the bench. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
