My second point of concern would be the fact that it is so hard to get in touch with support. I understand that this time of year is difficult with the volume due to fantasy football but it took me 5 days to get the ruling on a tiebreaker scenario for the playoffs. Thanks again! Hi Matt, we appreciate your feedback. We are aware that there were some issues with players not being listed in the starting lineup when they actually were and this has been resolved. In regards to contacting customer support, we aim to respond to your requests for support as quick as possible.
Due to the large number of contacts with football, we were answering our members in the order they were received which may caused delays in the response time to our members. The app overall is great. They are always updating and adding new features. Current problem I have been having in multiple leagues which has caused me to have to contact multiple managers along with the commissioners to fix is the trading.
If trades are accepted while a manager has enough roster spots to take a 2 for 1 trade it will allow the trade to go through. Because of this, on game days I am having to scramble with managers and commissioners to go back thru and have them push the trades through. Again, this is one of the best fantasy apps minus this loop hole for buyers remorse. At long last, Yahoo opened fantasy baseball last month well behind schedule and other platforms , but our league has no way to view our rosters from the previous year on the app.
We have setup the keeper league management and everything, but for some reason you can only see your players on the desktop version via web browser. Therefore, the app is basically useless for me when it comes to checking updates on my players until the season starts.
The draft value is the most important item. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. Our team is constantly looking for ways to improve the app, so we'll pass along your recommendations about adding keepers and draft values.
I think it also makes us better baseball fans when we expand our research to another level. This allows you to build a base of players you can build a team around, but it also lets you enjoy draft day to its fullest and reshape your team every year.
Limiting it to around 10 keepers also allows room for every owner to feel like they have a shot every year.
Go much higher than that and the advantage some teams have will seem almost insurmountable. They earned it. IN addition to those active MLB players, I also suggest a minor league roster of between four and six players.
The research it takes to draft these prospects really makes you a better fan. I strongly recommend acquiring players through an auction. Whether you go with the auction or stick with a snake draft, I implore you to attach some form of cost to each player. Attaching a cost to that production again forces decisions and allows for more use of strategy. Another important item in keeper leagues is how long one owner can retain a player. Owners should get rewarded for smart drafting, but at the same time, should they get to keep a player forever when they may have just gotten lucky?
I think five years is about the limit that makes sense. My basic take is that we should get to enjoy a smart draft pick for a few years, but there has to be an additional cost that increases over time. Eventually, that player needs to be returned to the player pool. Dump trades involve one owner swapping out current value to another owner for potential future value. Dump trades usually involve prospects or low priced players traded for high priced studs.
They make sense for both of the teams involved, but they can drastically change the standings within a keeper league in a hurry. Many people want to ban dump trades altogether, but I think they are an integral part of any keeper league. First of all I hate any rule that takes away the ability of an owner to run their team the way they see fit. But an additional effect of dump trades is to ensure yearly turnover in the league standings.
If you go for it in the current year and trade away all your low priced keepers, it makes it very hard to come back and compete the next season. There is no doubt though that dump trades done wrong can ruin a league. My solution is the Dumping Proclamation. I write more about it here , but the idea is that before an owner can make a dump trade, they must post their intentions on the league message board.
They then have to wait at least one full week before any dump trades can be executed. This lets everyone in the league know that the players involved are available. Once again the importance of common values among your owners is of the utmost importance. They need to know the policy on dump trades before joining the league and share a similar philosophy or there will be big problems ahead.
I work for Fantrax. Luckily the Fantrax Fantasy Baseball Commissioner makes it really easy to promote. We just talked about issues like contract length, player pool, and salaries. All of these can be easily customized in a Fantrax league. Depending on the features you need for your league, Fantrax may even have a free option for your keeper league. If your league needs more than the basic features, Fantrax can handle anything you throw at it for a fraction of the cost of its competitors.
Keeper leagues combine the positive aspects of redraft leagues and dynasty leagues, allowing both short term and long term enjoyment. The big takeaway here is that starting a keeper league should not be a spur of the moment thing. The league needs to be planned out and the owners need to be carefully selected.
The worst thing you can do is cobble together a bunch of people with different ideas on what a good keeper league should be. Replacing multiple owners every year takes all of the steam out of a keeper league and will eventually lead to its demise. Click Edit Keeper settings. Select "Yes, enable Keeper League Management tools".
Click Submit. Select a date prior to your league's draft. Click Confirm Keeper Players. Review the selections. Optionally, click Edit Keepers beneath a manager's roster to make adjustments. When you're done reviewing, click Approve All Keepers. Assign Keepers for a Live Standard Draft If you have an odd number of Keepers and place them in the opening round, reverse the draft order to let the manager with the 1st overall pick to make the 1st selection for new players.
Make any other adjustments you'd like. Click Continue. Select the round you want the player assigned to. Highlight the player you want to assign. Click the Move icon to assign them. Continue until all Keepers are assigned.
