As a glutton for punishment, I'm tempted to add one more Fantasy league to my rotation this year, so thought I'd check here first

Would there be enough interest in another Fantasy League? If we had 8-12 interested regulars here, it might be an additional enjoyable avenue for ye olde shite talking

I am in the other one and its a keeper league. I am sure there is enough room for a 2nd one and I would gladly be in a 2nd one as well. No such thing as too many!

I'm in the keepers league here and one with some friends.

I've found 2 is a good max for me. Get over that and I end up having a guy on team that is on the team I'm playing in another league and it's too confusion on who to cheer on.

@BreadNCircuses Are you all-in on that scoring, or would you be OK with changing to:

- Superflex (allows you to start two QB if you want)
- Straight PPR instead of fractional
- TE premium (TEs get extra points for receptions)
- IDP (individual defensive players) instead of traditional team defense. Points for tackles, FF, FR, INT, Sack, TFL, PD, and TDs.
- No kicker

These are all "modern" features of dynasty, and make it a lot more fun.

Let me know. Kaiser, myself and some others are looking to start a new group. With you and Umbali, we'd have 6. We'd want to recruit 6 more from the current league, or have to get more folks.

I'm tempted, but trying to constrain myself to a single platform this year, and ESPN already has me locked in for at least 3 teams

It would be cool if you could join. We have the league lit up. I think we have 3 open spots, with a few folks who are pending. It is me, Kaiser, Plank, BFMN, Ark, Umbali and a couple of our friends.

OK thanks. We have 10 slots of 12 filled. We *could* go with 10 but really 12 is best so it isn't all just all-star teams. Let me know if you change your mind. By the way - if you are using ESPN you're actually on like the worst FF platform. Sleeper is where it's at, in terms of player information and functions.

Here is a link to the league. Not sure what you can see without joining - but in case you can have a look around feel free. The league is a money league too ($50/year) - so people are more engaged and not virtually absent like the other MOTM league.

Awesome, man!! We have 7 from BFO now so that is great. Then a few friends.

Taxi slots are like a practice squad. So you can stock it with first and second year players that you think will be good in a few years but may not play for a few years. The way it works (and I'll remind people) is you can put people ON your taxi squad prior to the season, and you can "call them up" to play if they start scoring & you need to. But once you do that you can't re-fill that slot until the off season.

I'll do a few polls on how many Taxi and IR spots to have. 3-4 IR and 4-6 Taxi is pretty typical.
