Hey everyone,

I'm an enthusiastic fantasy player and hockey fan, good knowledge and follow the sport closely, but I've met my match with the intricacies of setting up a salary keepers league in Yahoo.

I understand that establishing the starting budget for each team is a crucial decision. But none of the resources I've found give guidance on how to best calculate that. We are using custom scoring because many of us are in an existing standard points league and we want to retain the knowledge that a goal = 5 points, for ex. Where to I begin with figuring out how to calculate custom player salary values + team budget? I feel like I need to establish a formula or something but there's no guidance in Yahoo for how to make adjustments for custom roster sizes and scoring.



One of our main goals is to let teams carry large rosters to simulate the feeling of running a big organization.

ROSTERS

4 C
4 LW
4 RW
4 D
2 UTIL
2 GOALIE
4 BENCH

4 IR
1 NA

SCORING SETTINGS

5 GOALS
3 ASSIST
2 PPP
1 GWG
0.5 SHOT
0.25 HIT
0.5 BLOCK

3 WIN
-1 GA
0.3 SAVE
2 SHUTOUT

Any concrete advice would be massively appreciated. I just don't know how to attack this problem.
