    Default Wheeler v. Okposo

    H2H League, G/A/+-/PPP/GWG.

    What do you guys think of these 2, for a keeper league. Is there much difference? They are both on weaker +- teams, and seem to be in the 60-70 range. I currently have Wheeler as a 7th round Keeper in my league, but may have a chance to trade for Okposo as a 17th rounder. Is it worth it to try and swap Wheeler out for Okposo??

    Just so I am clear, this is one of those leagues where you have to give up a certain pick/round to keep a player? So keeping Wheeler costs you a 7th versus Okposo you give up a 17th?

    Okposo all day.


    They are similar but I'll give the edge to Tavares I mean Okposo.

    The 7th vs 17th is just bonus.

    Yes you keep a player at a certain round, so if I keep Wheeler he takes up my 7th round spot, and vice versa

    Given the cost, I would also keep Okposo over Wheeler.

    Wheeler is more proven at this point but given the cost I may keep Okposo (the Tavares factor is also pretty satisfying)
    Points only pool - H2H - Dress 11/week - 2 at every forward position(RW, LW, C), 4 D, 1G
    Goalie Points = 2/win, 1/overtime loss, 3 more/shutout (They typically make up most of the top 10 point getters every year in our league)

    24 teams but 2 of every player (2 Crosbys, 2 Rasks, etc.) so treat it like a 12 team.

    PROTECT 11 (max. roster size is 25)

    LW - Benn, Pacioretty, Henrique, Abdelkader, Pulkkinen
    C - Tavares, Backstrom, Johansen
    RW - Giroux, Wheeler, Donskoi, Pomminville, Silvferberg
    D - Josi, Karlsson, Burns, Seabrook, Reilly, Gardiner,
    G - Jones, Rinne, Miller

    No brainer, keep okposo - if this was a salary cap league I wouldn't even hesitate
    8 person H2H, 25 man rosters:

    LW: JT Miller, B. Tkachuk, E. Kane, Pacioretty, N. Foligno,
    C: McDavid, Larkin, Monahan, Eriksson Ek, P. Suter,
    RW: Lindholm, Perron, J. Anderson, Hornqvist, Duchene, Necas

    ya 17 vs 7 is a pretty big difference for players that may put up similar pts

    Sound advice, the difference between the two won't be much so moving up is a plus.

    OK that makes it easy for you then, keep Okposo. I prefer Wheeler a little bit but nowhere near enough to make up for 10 rounds! Plus your categories wouldn't take advantage of Wheeler's strengths as well anyway.

    Thanks everyone for the input! Given that Wheeler is a bit more proven I wanted to double-check that it was still worth it to move down and keeper Okposo

    Keeping Okposo as a 17th rounder vs Wheeler as a 7th is a no brainer.

    Okposo. What makes this close is Wheeler's 82 games year in and year out. Because if they played similar games each year Okposo would be the better own by a mile.
