League Design Help
Hi all, I'm launching a new salary cap league on Fantrax and need some help. So far:
16 teams, weekly H2H with daily lineup changes
4C, 4RW, 4LW, 6D, 2G, 4Bench, 10Minors, 6IR
Goals, Assists, PPP, SOG, Hits, Blocks, GAA, SV%, Saves, Wins
We use cap-hit per CapFriendly
A few questions:
1. I kind of want to give non-scoring defensemen an extra category; any suggestions? A few options I've come across: Corsi, Defensive Awareness, TOI... Any others that measure quality defensemen? Or am I good with what we have?
2. How do you all calculate salary cap? Is it just the NHL cap multiplied by a certain multiplier (1.2? 1.5?)?
3. Draft concept. Instead of a 23-round inaugural draft, I'm considering doing an 8-round serpentine draft where managers select two forward rosters, defense rosters, goalie rosters, and prospects. For example, I might draft BUF-FORWARDS, COL-DEF, CLB-FORWARDS, ARI-G, LAK-DEF, CGY-G, DET-PROSP., and NSH-PROSP. Managers would then pick the players they will keep for the start of the season. Any crazy red flags with this idea?
4. Lastly, do you think that buy-ins (even as low as $20) increase engagement and participation?
Thanks in advance! Will rep all around.
