3-5 with the way those bums have performed is pretty good. And now Roesthlisberger, Lynch, Davis, and Bush are starting to come around. Your team actually looks pretty good going forward in most traditional scoring leagues IMO.

Also, how can 3-5 be last place? And if it is, it can't be by much. I don't really see how your team is not comptetitive.

I've got no problem with the rules of the league, I just think that if you're going to be playing by these rules you should probably have an earlier trade deadline (say, week 6 like in the NFL) to discourage tanking like this.

Standings for those who wonder how,

You still blew up your team way too early. I don't know your whole roster, but the guys you mentioned have a solid chance to be very good going forward, and all of them have excellent 15-16 matchups.

And unless your trade deadline is this week, you could have waited another couple weeks to see if you improved, and still been able to sell your guys off at maybe even higher prices if you didn't. Whatever, though...

I think it is just a really bad idea in general. In theory it seems fine but I just don't think it will play out like you think it will. The real life salary cap machinations of an NFL franchise won't translate to fantasy football. You'll most likely alienate a bunch of people in the league by doing this and if you lose anyone next year, how are you going to replace them? No way would I join a league where my team was crappy and I know there are 2 teams with 10 draft picks in the first few rounds.

Not to mention the fact that this really doesn't reward the owners who are active and ahead of the game. When anyone can just pony up 20$ to get a good player it just seems to go against what should be making these leagues fun.

The only way this works is if this is and has always been a keeper league, and if the people in the league are total sports nuts who are as into this as you are. Keep us posted how it all works out.
