For 12-14 teams, either 9F/5D/2G or 12F/6D/2G if you want more skaters.
For 20-24 teams, either 6F/4D/1G or 9F/5D/1G if you want more skaters...
...12F/6D/1G is also an option... but 24x18 can be a lot of skaters - and your "casual" GMs will get dominated and leave the league annually.
Almost all 24 team leagues have 3-5 "casual" GMs, if not more.
15-19 teams is the "NO" zone... if you go 2G, then goalie value is high, because they are scarce.
If you go 1G, then goalie value is low, because they are plentiful.
That's my main advice... don't try to form a 15-19 team league, it just doesn't work.
From my experience, 12-team (with start 2G) and 24-team (with start 1G) leagues are the optimal fantasy league size... that's step #1 in setting up a league: # of Teams/GMs.
