Never played in a Total Points league? Things to think about:
Have you ever been in a H2H league where every week it seemed like you caught the high score team? You had one of the highest point’s totals in the league, but couldn’t even make the playoffs? Ever been in a Division where there were several good teams while other Divisions had teams that mostly sucked? Still couldn’t make the playoffs? Ever have noncompetitive owners run a fire-sale trade to get key keepers for next year? Did that hurt your playoff chances? Well, if you answered yes to any of those, perhaps one of my Total Points leagues would be right for you. Check ‘em out.

Thanks

What are the pros and cons of a total points fantasy football league?

A total points fantasy football league has its own unique dynamics compared to the traditional head-to-head format. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons:

Pros:

• More strategic lineup decisions: You're competing against every franchise each week
• Consistency is Rewarded: The league standings are based on the total points accumulated throughout the regular and playoff seasons, so owners with consistently strong performances are rewarded. One bad week won't ruin your season nor playoff chances.
• Reduces frustration of losing despite having the second highest score of any given week, which becomes a good thing.
• Less Luck-Dependent: Unlike head-to-head leagues, where matchups can be won or lost due to weekly scheduling variance, total points leagues mitigate the impact of luck.
• Engagement Throughout the Season: Every point matters, so even if an owner falls behind early due to injuries or poor drafting, they have a good chance of still climbing the standings by effective roster and starter management in subsequent weeks when injured players return and rookies and free agent pickups start producing.
• Like the real NFL, the (14 week) regular season in this League is about making the playoffs. Each owner is playing for a playoff spot with a top 5 in Total Points.
• More fair - The team with the best overall performance across the season, including the playoffs typically wins.

Cons:

• Lack of Weekly Drama: Without head-to-head matchups, the excitement of weekly rivalries and close wins is missing as well as strategic adjustments, like targeting specific opponents.
• Early Dropouts: Teams that fall far behind in points might lose interest, as catching up can feel daunting.
• Less social interaction - Fewer opportunities for trash talk and rivalries
• Less resembles real NFL regular season format which is based on wins and losses

If you’re someone who values fairness and consistency, a total points league might be a great fit. But if you thrive on the drama and unpredictability of head-to-head matchups, it might feel a bit flat. Which format do you prefer?

Would have interest in your league -- like the different concept.

Thanks for your interest. However I am currently waiting on a new owner's check via USPS. He has until next Tuesday to get it to me otherwise I will fill the opening FCFS. I have a stated preference for PayPal or Venmo, but for some reason this guy does not trust either. I would be glad to get back to you next Wednesday if I don't get his check, if you would like?

Sure -- if I am still looking for a team then, we can discuss.
