1. Auction. Keeps a guy from lucking into the best player in the league.
2. Hockey Style Scoring. 2 pts for head to head win and 1 pt for being in the top half of the league in scoring each week. This minimizes the bad luck of having the second highest score but losing to the top scorer.
3. Have enough owners - small leagues increase luck.
4. Set up rosters to keep the waiver wire filled just enough. If stars are on the wire, anyone can make up for a bad draft.
5. Reasonable scoring systems. Leagues where a defensive score in a week can range from -5 to 35 is ridiculous. Keep it simple.
