MLS....come to STL!!!
Just gathering some opinions on the pros/cons of auction drafts.
Last year, I ran a $100 buy in, 12 team league with .5 PPR and .5 rush/rec 1st downs with the mission of adding and twisting little rules here and there every season. No keeper/dynasty implications, and never will be, since rules will change year over year.
QB-RB-RB-WR-WR-TE-FLEX-K-DST, 5 or 6 bench spots, I forget.
If settings allow, I'm planning on dropping PPR down to .25 --- I still think you need some kind of reward for catching the ball, since someone else is getting paid to prevent you from doing that --- and looking to do an auction for the draft this year.
I might also add an extra RB/WR only flex spot, not sure on that just yet.
back to the auction:
pros -you get to literally draft the player you want, and have the means to go get your guy -have been wanting to do one the last couple yrs -everyone in the league seems to enjoy variations to the standard fantasy league
cons -new draft style that some owners won't be comfortable with -a level of unfamiliarity in a league that I run -run the risk of losing an owner or two due to changing the set up
