Hey everyone! Glad to be here!
I've been playing for a decade, and was a member here last year. This site it the bomb. Thought I'd delve into a specific query that only FFG could answer...
We play in a standard type leauge, where I am the commish; unfortunately, despite knowing and working with my leauge-mates for years, we had some collusion last season, and myself and most everyone else was
fed-up with the hijinks, so the result being this year, there are no trades allowed. We draft 9 starters (3wr) and a full nine back-ups in a 12 man leauge. Which is a lot of players, but I think it rewards planning at the draft, rather than having a good priority # at the mid-point of the season.
My question is: Since this is virgin ground for us, does anyone have any tips on modifying my stradge-i-dy for the upcoming season? I always try to go for depth at each position, and with FAs' now the only way to get another player, it seems like an even better idea. I also think my hancuffs at RB should go up in priority, for the same reason. However, with our rosters being what they are, I am also thinking of prioritzing handcuffs for OTHER coaches RBs', so when they do go down, I have already swooped, so to speak. ( Does anyone else do this? It seems to me that in RB-heavy leauges with trades and a lot of teams, another coaches' high-quality back-up is just as valuable as your own; instant trade-bait for an owner who panics because they just lost their stud is a very good thing to have...)
I look forward to hearing from anyone with insight or experience in this regard, and will glady share any knowledge in return. (Provided you are not in one of my leauges, of course.)
