hmm. I was thinking about this on the way to work today. What is the strategy in general for BF

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Jul 27 '12, 09:04

You get 5 keepers in basically 4 positions with 1 flex
There are 12 teams in BF
So that means for each position, basically the top 12 people in the league should be "keepers"
So at draft time, you will be drafting someone outside the top 12, and most likely outside the top 15 in some cases.

[The exception here is if someone ends up with multiple Top 12 picks that they can't keep?]

So are your draft picks then valued more for future value? But you can't just hold onto someone in a keeper spot that isn't Top 12 material yet because you're giving up a Top 12 person thus damaging your team for this season

Or are they valued more for completing the 3 open spots (WR/T, WR/RB and likely one of WR or RB depending on Flex) with people say in the Top 20 in the league or maybe picking up one of those "Top 12" that slips through.

Maybe I'm just talking out my ass but I was just curious on the thought processes.

Ask me what I plan to do during the draft and do the opposite. - spamlet Jul 27, 09:10 4

- Based on the number of keepers, even the #1 draft pick in the league = someone outside the top 12-15 players at each position - oblique Jul 27, 09:17 6
  - That's less of an issue with 1-1 then 1-10 - spamlet Jul 27, 09:22 1
    - Yes, this is the crux of my thoughts - oblique Jul 27, 09:23
  - The biggest harpoon to your logic whale is rookies. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 27, 09:18 2
    - But that goes back to my original in that drafting and keeping a rookie opens a hole in your roster where giving yourself one less Top 12 player that - oblique Jul 27, 09:22 1
