Apparently Yahoo allows using individual defensive players instead of choosing a team defense.

I've played like that before and much prefer it because a lot of team defenses just suck. Being able to choose individual players adds a lot to it.

What does everybody think?

Those who don't like it are sissybitches.

how many do you draft?

Tomahawk · July 08, 2004, 08:24:31 PM

They way I played, you could have up to six players - 2 DL, 2 LB, 2 DB; however you could only start three total any given week.

that sounds pretty good. Is there anyway to modify it?

Probably. I suggest asking the Commishes after all the teams are finally in.

Hopefully they read this thread before that happens and let us know.

Hell, I'll run the league any way y'all want. If the consensus is to play with individual defensive players, and MURP agrees, we'll do it.

Now that our teams are resistered, we have some time to make all the settings. It's cool.

Well....since you mentioned it...lets flip it....pick a team offense and pick individual defensive players. No?

Diomedes · July 08, 2004, 08:36:36 PM

No.

MURP · July 08, 2004, 09:13:19 PM

im down with individual Defensive players. As long as you set their point value right its fine.

where did you pull those numbers from? anywhere but out your arse I hope.

Tomahawk · July 08, 2004, 11:11:13 PM

If memory serves, that's how we had it set in the league I've done this in before. Of course, they can be changed if found to be unsatisfactory.

I think more categories could be added such as passes defended and something almost exclusive to the d-line. I've found the current proposal tends to favor linebackers.

I did that last year and it's great. Takes a little more than basic football saavy to get that to work for you the right way. In my league, I just went with four individual D players....
