Hello all: I've always liked reading the commissioner type questions regarding scoring rules, owner issues and such as it gives an aspect to this forum that is different from player valuations. I've always enjoyed seeing Greg Russell's and Adam Harstad's input as well in these commissioner type threads. While I've read many of these threads, I will offer one of my own:
My already established 12 team league is considering expanding to 14 teams. The first issue I've come across is what to do about keepers. Right now, we have a three keeper maximum rule, which may or may not change in the future. But the point is, it is 3 keepers max this year, and would be the same in 2016. If the league does expand, it would happen in 2016, not for this season.
My first thought was to have the 12 already established franchises select their keepers, and then with the released players, have an expansion draft with the two teams. Have them select up to 3 players each, and then they can go into the draft that way.
Because I was concerned about how good the players might be that would not be kept, the second idea would be to have the established teams "protect" 2 players, then have the expansion teams have a 3 round expansion draft. No established team could have more than one player taken from their roster.
Are there better ideas than these two and are there significant flaws with the above two ideas that I'm not seeing? I confess, I do need to do significant brainstorming still, but I figured this might be a good start as I can't think of a better place with more passionate fantasy footballers. Thank you in advance for all helpful responses.
