    A HUGE no on losses or walks. I don't like negative categories. And an even bigger no on locking the rosters for the playoffs.

    K/9 or K/BB would be good, but a definite no for losses or BB.

    I'm liking K/BB as the #1 alternative to holds.

    so you would rather have people adding and dropping players to steal categories instead of winning them honorably?

    btw shouldn't you try making the playoffs first before making suggestions about them?

    I'm not in the league but in all the leagues I play in we set it to a MAX of 25 moves... and if you have them to use in the playoffs then its to your advantage...

    Still mad about what you started last year?:grin: Honorably? It's part of the game you crybaby.

    Playoffs are the standard method of settling the winner of a head-to-head scoring league, and it is worth talking about them in specific. First, it is important to note how perilous playoffs can be. Your team can be the best team in the regular season by far, crushing your opponent each week, but in your first match in the playoffs you lose slightly. Your team will end up in third place ? oh well. All season long, even during your pre-draft preparation, you should pay attention to which players should be best during the weeks of your league?s playoffs. In all fantasy sports with playoffs, you should play close attention to matchups during the playoff weeks. Which players would you expect to perform best based on the quality and nature of the opponents? In fantasy hockey, baseball and basketball you should also pay close attention to the number of games each team is playing in each playoff week. Players on teams who play more games during each of those weeks have more value. You should pay attention to these factors, during all points of the season, and during your pre-season draft rankings, but especially as the playoffs approach. It is frustrating to draft players who should be optimal during the playoff weeks and then have your team fall short of making the playoffs at all, so be careful with overemphasizing this issue early on in the season. Late in the season however, when it is clearer that yours will be a playoff team, focus all of your energy towards optimizing your team?s performance during those crucial weeks.

    Most head-to-head fantasy basketball, baseball and hockey leagues do not have maximum game or inning limits. In a league that allows for daily transactions, it can be rational to pick up players who will be playing on the following day, and after they play, drop them in favor of players who will be playing the subsequent day. In this way, you can get a steady stream of waiver wire level players to fill many or even all of your position slots. In most cases, you are better off with waiver wire players playing every day instead of a marginally better player playing every three days or so. You can use this trick during the regular season as well, but you should recognize that there is a cost. If a significant number of your roster spots are reserved for the ?player-of-the-day? who will be dropped for tomorrow, then you will be unable to retain the services of a large number of players who are of high quality. Essentially, it is a reasonable strategy, but one which should only be used for head-to-head matchups which are critical in nature. Playoff weeks, or weeks which determine whether your team will make the playoffs at all, are the sorts of weeks where you should seriously consider this sort of activity.

    I would be for a total # of moves cap. This way you'd have to budget your adds/drops all season.

    I'm not, if you have a shit draft or a massive # of injuries that will effectively end your season if you run out of moves. I don't mind having a set limit in the playoffs with an exception for injuries(you bet your f'ing ass I'm dumping a guy who's on the DL and is out for the year).

    wait you post an article that someone states its fair for their league so it should be good for ours.its gay.I don't like it and I don't want it in a league I participate in.max moves or how about a dropped player during the playoffs can not be added to another team.

    Just because you don't like that strategy, it doesn't make it gay you homophobe. Why not just go to the extreme and say nobody can make a move ever not even a roster adjustment cause that's an internal roster move and that's bad because it is a roster move. I really don't see the problem, the playoffs are a free for all and you do what you think will get you the title, it's strategy in trying to pick guys who pitch everyday while trying to not screw yourself while doing so. You don't have to participate in the strategy because you can win with what you have and you can still play with honor.

    This only applies to the playoffs because no one is doing this during the regular season(unless your Team China in FH).

    This coming from a guy who hasn't won anything other than a pick'em since '03, call me when you actually win the title in a TGG fantasy league.
