We did MFL auction last year, and it was by far inferior to ESPN. I have heard that it has made improvements but is still lacking in overall quality etc. We had some users that were very upset over the inability to place bids at certain times. So we will be sticking with ESPN for a while. It...

I think there are a few different rules that may prohibit this from being an effective tactic. One example off the top of my head. There was a game just last year in which Oakland had a fake punt called. Jacoby Ford ran down the field and was somewhat open, but the ball was under thrown. He...

Bingo. I think a lot of people in the Shark Pool feel this way as well. A lot of us like to feel like we have something over the owners that don't put as much time and effort into the hobby. We know that scoring doesn't directly equate to value and that there are other factors when it comes...

Part of the problem is that the original hypothesis seems to be structured around the idea that efficiency, or more output on every play is ALWAYS better. Statistically, and economically this is true. I should always try to maximize the return. But this quickly falls apart in the real world...

I would also second the idea that the gap between top players and everyone else is important in your league. Mine has been going to 2 years now, and I am glad that I searched through the Sharkpool archives for posts on setting up such a league. I also played around plenty with the...

Despite the negative rankings in the Rushing Game matchup email, I still like the following RBs: Steven Jackson - assuming that he rested this long so he would be 100%, the Redskins have given decent totals to less than stellar rushing teams. If Jackson is healthy then I believe Rams become a...

I used myfantasyleague.com auction yesterday Aug 28th and had a really bad experience with it. There are quite a few issues still that need to be worked out. First, the auction messages screen which shows bids etc was a mess. Sometimes it would have too much information in it like bids that...

Thanks. I plan on using this feature this Sunday, and am curious how it compares to ESPN as well. Disappointed to hear that nominations work differently. What about the allotted auction time? ESPN allowed 30 seconds for bidding, and if there was a new high bid in the last 10 seconds it would...

I am weighing a rule to a Keeper League that just finished its first season. Someone proposed that any owners that do not keep the maximum number of keepers (4) should be allowed to add any released or leftover players from other rosters. The league is also based on auction salary, so some...

I am starting a keeper league as well this year. I have searched dozens of threads here to glean some knowledge on different systems and here is what I found.Increasing penalty leagues are not necessarily about increasing parity, but decreasing the amount of time a player can spend on a single...
