Yahoo Salary Cap league

Nice start.

[SlowwHand]

Romo had 15.29 points and went up in value $2.21.

[rah]

quite different then the ESPN one last year where nobody really moved much in value for the first 4 weeks.

And Rivers had only 14.55 (fewer than Romo) but went up more. $2.28.

Re: price changes

I'm pretty sure there are die rolls involved.

[Demonbinder]

Twenty siders??

[Sparrowhawk]

You have a budget and can buy any player under that budget. So $200M, you buy
Brees - $40M
APete - $50M
MForte - $20M
LFitz - $30M
ABodlin - $15M
TGonz - $10M
SGost - $5M
Ravens D/ST - $30M

Those prices fluctuate (Generally up) throughout the year, and you get to keep the price until you change the player (but you don't get to profit by selling them). Points are accrued as in regular fantasy. Most points for whole season = winner (no H2H or anything).

I bought Jamaal Charles for $12.85 originally, his value is now $13.93, but I think I will drop him before week 3...I'm only going to get $12.85 for him regardless right (including if a pile of people drop him sooner then I do, his value drops below $12.85?

It seems that prices going up can't help you, as when you sell a player, you get them for the purchase price, but have to buy the new player at the higher price. Every change you make will almost always give you a worse player (lower value) as a result won't it?

Basically. I am surprised at some of the changes. I've seen players that had bad weeks go up in price a couple of bucks. It will make bye weeks more difficult.

[Ming]

Yes... it will make the bye week decisions "interesting"
Also, if you didn't jump on one of the studs early, they will now be out of most people's price ranges unless they gut their team to make changes.
This is still far better than the ESPN league last year when every player on your roster was a stud.

The trick to this league is having a solid core of stars from the beginning, and then catching a few rising starts during the season.
You can't just change your team every week to take advantage of match ups.
And injuries can be a real killer

[gjramsey]

I need to blow my entire team up and start over

[rah]

Good luck now that almost everyone is 2 bucks higher.
I couldn't even afford to resign my crappy quarterback since he's gone up so much.

[-Jrabbit]

Somewhere around mid-season, they do a "reset" week where prices drop across the board. But until then, you have to search for bargains if you want to make a change with upper tier talent. I made a QB change this week and while it cost me, I'm really glad I didn't wait another week.

[gjramsey]

Roster regeneration complete. Replaced all but 2 players on the roster and now have about $1 more cap room.

I apologize in advance for any players on other teams rosters that have now been jinxed.

Just did my changes for next week. Lot's of fun, but I think I came up with not too bad a lineup (providing Minny and Indy continue to play lousy). Hopefully will do better than last week.

[Demonbinder]

Wow, it looks like I'll get another win.

It would be nice if they didn't handle this like golf and wait until next day to post scores. But I doubt that will ever change.
