Best league roster size? (1 Viewer)

[lazyike]

in the leagues I play in we have 15 man and 1 20 man roster. I personally feel that 15 isn't enough during the bye weeks. 20 man is fine as long as all the owners have deep knowledge of potential sleepers. 15 man seems to severely limit the handcuffs and makes you concentrate too much on bye week issues. I finally convinced our local league too eliminate the mandatory max/min at each position (we had to carry 2 kickers,2 defs) with 17 man rosters but they all wanted 15 man. What do you all think is best?o

What are starting lineup requirements?

 

[Steel City]

Twice the number of starters. So if you start 9 players, I would go with 18 player rosters.

We start 9 1 QB,2 RBs,2 WR, 1 flex,DST,K, TE in both of my 15 man roster leagues, we start 10 in the 20 man roster league. Has anyone ever had a league where you add 1 roster position during the bye weeks and do you know if it's possible to do this say on CBS leagues, MFL or any other sites? One reason I don't like to draft the top K and DST because you will likely need to drop them when there bye weeks come up.

On another note if it's a 15 team league and say half of the guys keep two k/def that's 22 k/def rostered, leaving the rest to the waiver. I'm in a 20 team league and I end up with bad matchup on Def often.

I don't like roster requirements at all, I would let it be known.

The roster size is a preference thing. 150 rostered players I'd consider shallow, 300+ is deep, the sweet spot is in between say 175-225.

I doubt you'll find any sharks here arguing for roster limits although I know of some of our lazy players in one of my leagues who is likely to argue for it. I'm betting that there will be a couple of owners in my local who are going to be dumb enough to carry 2 kickers in my local league!

My main leagues are long running and very old school-12 teams, no PPR, no IDP, very limited free agency. Thus the rosters are huge-25 in one league, 30 in the other.

Every D & K is drafted. Every backup QB is drafted as well as some 3rd stringers. 3 or more RBs from every team. You get the idea.

I'm sure most think it is stupid, but I absolutely love it.
