@rpitroda thanks for the effort, although you got 2 teams owning Mahomes

For WRs, I definitely like Chetan's team best. For RBs, probably RedIceland or yourself, although it's close.

Looking purely at WRs, for Y1 solely, it’s hard to look past Florida Man.

@Eboue

No rush but I'm still on a bye week 1

Yes, I'm waiting to get feedback on the schedule options. To be honest I'm still leaning toward divisions because I think it will create rivalries. I'm gonna mess around with the schedule and see how that would work.

 

[Organic Potatoes]

Brutal honesty is good but @Organic Potatoes you voted yourself as the worst roster?

I don’t know who half of these people are.

Maybe but will also create an imbalance in schedules. You’re a bit stuffed if you end up in a strong division?

Is it not possible to do divisions but also do the w1/w13 thing?

I mean, theres still 2 wild card spots and things still go in cycles. Plus you can focus on timing more too. Like if your division rivals are aging you might try and load up to take over as soon as they slip like in the real nfl.

 

[Eboue]

Divisions are 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12.

 

[RoadTrip]

Well I got fecked as expected

 

[Eboue]

Giving up already?

 

[backofthenet]

ouch.. division 4-6 is a rough one. 3 great teams in that

 

[altodevil]

Next poll should be who had the best draft. I’m not sure overall, but @altodevil had the best first 2 rounds. Taking Hopkins and still getting David Johnson at 19 who might end up a top-5 RB was a coup.

I wanted him at 14 but by the time my next pick rolled around there would’ve been over a dozen WRs gone.

I think that was quite lucky too, although would have been happy with Gordon also.

I like your team a lot personally, can see you winning early-on.

 

[altodevil]

@Eboue Option 1 for me.

I don't mind divisions either, but would prefer 3. With 3 winners + 3 highest scorers outside play-offs getting the postseason spots.

 

[Florida Man]

I do like the idea of a royal rumble.

 

[altodevil]

Main reason I don't like 4 divisions is because a good team could be screwed out of the playoffs due to 2 great division foes. Would only work with highest-scoring wildcard spots.

Theres 2 wild card spots so if the team is good enough they could have all 3 teams in 1 division make it

That's fine with me then. Only a slight chance of a bum division stealing an undeserved spot.

 

[RoadTrip]

Isn’t this a democracy I swear the majority is option 1!

I'll swap divisions with you if you want

 

[Man of Leisure]

Instead of 4 divisions of 3, couldn't we have 3 divisions of 4? Top 2 records get a bye week in the opening round of the playoffs. If we go with option #2 that is.

Wouldnt work for the schedule. The point of 4 divisions of 3 is a "balanced" schedule.

1 extra week regular season?

3 divisions of 4 teams. 13 week regular season. You play every other team in the league once. For weeks 12 and 13 you play someone in your own division another time. 6 team playoffs with 3 division winners and 3 wild cards. Top 2 seeds get opening byes in playoffs. Simples.

 

[Man of Leisure]

Option 1 is most fair, while Option 2 is most realistic. Could go either way tbh.

I'm an idiot sandwich, this would run onto Week 17.

That's even less balanced.

I think the real value is creating rivalries with divisions which will keep more people engaged for years to come.

 

[RoadTrip]

I’m fine either way tbh, option 1 might be more fun but appreciate is not realistic.

This is also why I want to run a couple polls and stuff. Have a bit more interest throughout.

This all makes sense to me.

 

[RoadTrip]

Idea:

3 divisions of 4.
Play everyone once (W1-W11)
W12 and W13 you play the team in the other two divisions which, as at after W11, was in the same position as you e.g 1vs1, 2vs2 etc.

Yeah polls are good. Could get a weekly on predicted results eg.

Not sure this really harbours a sense of division rivalry etc.

Depends. I'd imagine if you're the shitty team in a 3 team division like @Nicky Moore is, you'd lose interest quick.

True but probably provides the most balance outside of royale rumble approach.

While I'm in favor of 3 divisions of 4 teams, don't think this idea is very fair or practical at all.

 

[Man of Leisure]

Take a look at my idea above. In the following years, you could rotate which teams you play within your division.

 

[RoadTrip]

If we gonna go down division road, I think Eboue’s original suggestion is best.

We should actually map where everyone is based and genuinely create the divisions based on locations, that would be realistic

I'm open to that idea

I dont think we know much how these teams will pan out. If it's a 1-10 scale I think everyone is between 6 and 8.

 

[RoadTrip]

I'm open to that idea

If others are keen, I don’t mind if people wanna PM me their locations (you know, so they can’t fudge it), and I can ping on to you to implement in my fantasy league.
