    Default How many fantasy leagues?

    So... I now work part time and travel enough that near 50% of my nights are in hotels - was in 5 leagues last year (commish of one) which felt comfortable, but I’m concerned as to “too much of a good thing.” This year, I’m in 4 keeper Yahoo leagues, and the points-ESPN one that I run. Considering a simple (?) redraft Yahoo! tho I won the Yahoo winners league I was in for ‘18-‘19. People in more: any advice? And no, I absolutely won’t drop one once I start.

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    I'm in two dynasty leagues, one limited keeper and a non-serious one-year league. That's plenty for me. When push comes to shove I'd rather scale back and be good at one thing than be mediocre at a dozen things.

    I’m in 4 dynasty and 2 limited keeper and I find 6 pretty good but only when they all on the same platform...I play on fantrax only and find it easy to jump between them...

    but out this is also why I won’t join another platform or fantrax league with offsite communication..I find it near impossible to pay attention to other sites with 6 leagues...

    Used to be at 15 or so a couple years ago, but I'm down to seven or eight now.

    That's the most I can manage, and as narrow as I could cut it down.

    How are you not sure if it's 7 or 8 currently?

    I was in as many as 8, but have really tried hard to cut back. I think I'm "only" in 5 now!

    5 that require attention (dynasty or keeper)

    checking for goalie starters and finding some good streaming options to get an edge in matchup is time consuming so 5 is probably where I'd tap out

    I'm with JAC123 and usually play only in one league. It's not always been the same league and I actually had a break from fantasy hockey for a year two years ago. I like this for two reasons: First, I make a full effort in this one league which has helped me to win at least the regular season for a decade in a row now (obviously not league champ this often as in a H2H playoff you only need one bad week to be out). And second, it makes me more feel like a real GM. If you mess up, there's no other league to take comfort from. If you win, it's a full success and not just a result that pushes your average leagues' results up a notch.

    I had a 10-year dynasty fold this off-season... sad, but it was foreseeable.
    Down to 4 fantasy hockey leagues this year, with 1 fantasy football.

    Down to two keeper leagues:
    WHL 24 team x 30 keepers... with 10 redraft rounds per year (5 prospect, 5 pro)
    PQMC 12 team x 12 keepers... with ~13 redraft rounds.

    Cut back from 3 to 2 one-year leagues:
    RHRS 13 teams, absolute best group of guys for a one-year league.
    DobberElite 12 teams. This league has gotten a tad stale... but format is always interesting with the FAAB weekly budget adds.

    Fantasy Football
    *Just the one league with guys from the forums.


    This is about the right amount for me, now & going forward with wife+2kids+std40.0hr/weekJob.


    Other Dobber personalities I bump into too often (!!!):
    EskimoBro may be in 2-4 of these leagues with me.
    horrorfan will be in the two one-year leagues and fantasy football with me.
    havanablast is the only guy in BOTH my keepers.

    My husband has been in his work league for over 10 years and they had and opening this year. He also told me that two other wives are in this league so I wouldn't be the only female. This is the first time I have ever done a fantasy league in my life and the draft is tonight. I don't feel like I am prepared at all and well I guess that is why I am here. I do follow the game of hockey quite a bit as does my husband. I am keeping this forum hush from him as I want to get at least a leg up on him more than anything. So I may be asking stupid questions as the season goes along so please deal with me.
