Advice: Setting up a Keeper League - How do you determine the cost of your keeper?
We're entering our second year as a 10 man league and have decided that before we draft we would like to incorporate keepers. We're leaning towards 2.That being said, we're having a difficult time deciding on the rules. We would like to hear how your league is run - more specifically as it relates to the penalties associated with keeping a player.
ex. In exchange for keeping a player drafted in the 5th round in 2013 the owner would have to forfeit that round minus 1 (a 4th round pick in 2014).
Also, you can only keep players that were drafted. So no WW pickups can be kept, except if someone drops a player who was drafted and someone different picks up him, then he can be kept at what his cost would have been for the guy who drafted him. (I pick C. Patterson in round 16 last year but dropped him week 1. You pick him up and he explodes. You can keep him for a 14th rd pick this year)
We have had a max of 4 keepers per team the past few years but I think we're gonna bump it down to 3 this year to replenish the pool a bit.
Hope this helps.
With snake drafts, I'd just do the cost of acquisition from the previous season. So if you draft LeSean McCoy this year, keeping him costs a first-round pick.
