Keeper League question... (1 Viewer)

[unckeyherb]

I am in a 12 team league that has been going for about 5-6 years now. We started as a re-draft and after a few years switched to a 2-man keeper. Along the way we have added roster spots, included .5ppr and generally made tweaks to the rules to better suit everyone. I have been a proponent of adding in more keepers for a few years now and I typically am met with a stone wall.

I want to add in more keepers because I think it benefits people who do more preseason research and grab the 'sleepers' that might need a year or two to fully develop. I know that Dynasty would be good, but I cannot convince them of that. I was just wondering, for those of you in limited keeper leagues, how many do you keep and what would you prefer?

Also, I have proposed a mixture of keepers/loss of draft picks etc. and that was shot down by the commish, who doesn't want to add more work for himself (which is fine). So we currently keep any two players for as long as we want with no penalties for draft picks, etc.

We have 16-man rosters and keep three players -- no position restrictions or draft-pick penalties -- for up to three years. The one caveat we have is that only one of your three keepers can be a top-three round draft choice. You don't HAVE to keep a top three rounder, but if you do it can only be one. Our rules are in place for this year, but may put up a vote about expanding the rosters to 18 beginning next season ... for precisely the reason you said, finding the late sleepers you might want to stash.

as many as you want (within roster limits)..........I mean really if it is a KEEPER league, why shouldn't someone be able to keep them (and no I am not talking dynasty - that is a completely different format)

BUT let's say the league rule is three keepers and because I got lucky (or was insightful) I have four really good keepers.....WHY shouldn't I able to choose to keep those four?
