I've been just thinking about the actual set up of the teams we'll be picking.

Are people happy to go along with the standard format of QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, K and DEF? Just putting out a feeler for people's thoughts on using a flex player?

For those that don't know a flex player allows you the option of picking one of say either a rb or wr to make up the required starting team numbers. So it could look like:

QB
RB1
RB2
WR1
WR2
RB3/WR3
TE
K
DEF

The two major downsides to a flex in my opinion is if you've got two guys who've drafted a few sleepers at RB. They'll be laughing their way to the playoffs. The other being that it somewhat stifles any trades that could happen as a result of owners needing to bring in replacements.

The upside to using a flex is that with a 16 team league there's going to be a good few times where people are seriously short and would realistically have to release a half decent player to free agency if no one was willing to trade. Plus if we go with a 4 man bench it'll def help those less experienced to manage their team although at the same time it might be a cop out for those of us more experienced.

Anyway, your thoughts are welcomed and as I've said I'm just putting out a feeler.

DonkeyPokerTour · 08-07-2010 12:24AM

As regarding positions, I like a flex position in terms of during certin bye weeks last year WR depth became extreamly thin particularly if you had a guy on a Bye week and a guy injured that week! Perhaps making it RB/WR/TE rather than a true flex as I know some leagues allow a QB in there, but then u end up with the same guy taking two of the top QB's in order to trade later on!

Dohnny Jepp · 08-07-2010 12:40AM

I'm happy either way TBH. Whatever the majority want I'll go along with!

bobby wade · 08-07-2010 12:56AM

Whatever set up is decided all the leagues should run the same system

tallaghtoutlaws · 08-07-2010 01:00AM

Right now the Prem League is at the Default:

# (QB): 1
# (RB): 2
# (WR): 3
# (TE): 1
# (WR/RB): 0
# (WR/TE): 0
# Kicker (K): 1
# Defensive Team (DEF): 1
# Bench (BN): 5

bobby wade · 08-07-2010 02:07PM

personally i like the flex

Flex might be a good idea now the leagues have 16 in them.

Maybe use the Flex WR/RB and use 4 subs on bench. Keeps plenty of options in the FA market and Means you can have a combo of 2RBs + 3WRs or 3RBs + 2WRs. And by making the point system similar scoring across the board means there is not benefit to having 3 RBs etc etc. Means you have to draft solid QBs WRs and RBs.

Dodge · 08-07-2010 03:39PM

Most leagues who use the flex use it to replace an existing WR. You'd have

1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
1 Off Flex
1 Def
1 K

You'd have to define whether QBs are allowed play in the flex position or whether its WR/RB only

New NFL league only allows WR/RB or TE/WR as the Flex positions.

And I would agree if I was to put flew in it would replace the 3rd WR.

I like the idea of a flex player, RB/WR, the main reason being that it's a 16 team league, and quality is going to get pretty scarce after a few weeks, with injuries and byes. If someone manages to draft a sleeper RB that sends them to the playoffs, good luck to them.

Flex sounds interesting but no experience of it personally. Does it throw out the traditional draft strategy then? I'd imagine that you would ideally want to fill the flex with a RB every week but that this is balanced by the fact that there would likely be more quality at WR?

Thats it. For bye weeks it can mean a fair bit, but, as the name suggests, all it does is give more flexibility to the manager.

Most leagues now have a flex position so its pretty much the standard now

Peyton Manning · 08-07-2010 08:14PM

Whats flex? A RB or a WR basically?

Never used it before.

deccy15 · 08-07-2010 08:21PM

Flex position sounds good if thats what we go with!! I'm down with whatever tho!!

Basically means that in place of the 3rd WR spot you have the option to out in a RB also. So it will be either a 3rd WR or 3rd RB.

Tallaght is there no way of making it RB/TE/WR? If not I'de go RB/WR but addin tight end would be nice

Nope for some reason NFL.com have decided not to put in the 3 way flex option. ESPN and even Sportsline give that option.

Time to shake things up a bit.

If I manage to be first or second in the draft, I won't be drafting either Chris Johnson or AP.

Also for this guys neither myself nor Lightning can admin this one. The admin with NFL.com has to be a participating member. So it will need one of you guys to get the ball rolling and set it up.
