Hello sports stackers!
Whilst we've still got NFL on our brains before we switch off for the off-season.
Would y'all mind just giving me your thoughts/interest on a Fantasy Football League?
I hope to create a friendly league suitable for players of all experiences.
NB - IDP - individual defensive players rather than Team Defence and Special Teams. Dynasty you draft your team (via auction) and then supplement annually with rookie drafts. Redraft you draft from scratch every season.
Appreciate the help. More polls to come as we narrow down into specifics.

Dynasty is really cool but wouldn't redraft be better for SN?

Maybe a hybrid. We can carry our teams forward, but do something like an expansion draft when we get new users.

I thought similar. Expansion draft would be the way forward should we get new interested users.

Good idea

Is there anyway to do this on SN?
I don't have suggestions, but it would be great if this could add to ~Stacker_Sports.

Not at current I don't think. A fully working fantasy platform isn't something Devs put together overnight.
However, I do intend on running weekly game threads of stackers V stackers in head to head games. Waiver reports etc etc etc to keep as much of the league visible inside ~stacker_sports
As far as I can see the only real way to do this is have a platform like sleeper or ESPN or whatever host the league. And have all the leagues goings on posted in ~Stacker_sports like a newsletter type of thing.
I'd also use a link to the league where anyone can view the league so they can check in on their favourite stackers progress ;)

I figured that would be the case, but I remember when fantasy was done on paper and thought there might be a way to do a bare bones fantasy league here.
I can give some thought to what stripped down rules might look like, if anyone wants to pursue that. Otherwise, I'm fine with hosting the league off-site and discussing league stuff on-site.

That might be the easiest way for sure.
I'd never played on paper before, but I'm sure as a commissioner it would be a total nightmare. Which is I guess the benefit of what the platforms do.
From a dynasty perspective sleeper is by far the better platform, it has support for a practice squad unlike other platforms along with the usual ability to trade draft picks etc.
If the consensus was dynasty, I'd go sleeper I think.
