Re: Fantasy Hockey Strategy for the Advanced Player
Not bad.
I'm a big fan of goalies late.
To be honest though... too many opening paragraphs without hitting some numbers.
First off, as an "advanced player" myself, I want to know if your strategy applies to me.
1. H2H or Roto?
2. How many teams?
3. How many roster slots?
4. What are the categories?
I see some of this information at the bottom of the article, which is the wrong spot.
I started getting frustrated reading it mid-way through because I was asking so many questions... only to find out at the end of the article that I would've been able to process your strategies clearly if I had known settings.
Besides getting to some numbers & settings, you should've started with goalies.
Goalie strategy always dictates overall strategy.
You can early target defensemen this year... and this is BECAUSE you know you can late-draft goalies.
(Also, you start with a draft slot at #9 - which is too focused and you probably lose half your audience right there. If you are talking about a first round pick, you should cover every draft spot in the first round. Be thorough about the first round and start hitting some big names. That'll draw/keep your audience.)
Personally, I think drafting "Center Strength" this year will win pools.
I'd give this a C-.
Content is OK... but completely out of order.
