ECL Fantasy Manager for the Elite Division

[Franky__2768]

NHLGamers,

We would like to test out a new experimental "feature" that can hopefully be improved on in the future. For now this covers only ECL Elite, but if there is interest towards this, we hope to cover more and more divisions. We believe some of you already know the principle of a fantasy manager, whether it be for the NHL, the NFL or for another league and sport.

We want to run a test with a pretty basic system and want to know all of your feedback and if there is interest in something like that in general.

We offer you two different types of Fantasy League:

1. Running a fantasy league

You can run a fantasy league with up to a total of 9 people. Every person has to choose five forwards, three defenders and two goalies. You are allowed to pick only two players from one team (e.g. you can pick Pleemaker and ENCEKI, but then you cannot pick Cappe as well). You run your draft (we suggest doing a snake draft) by yourselves and send us all of the necessary data (1. league name, 2. selected rosters and 3. the people playing) and we will take care of the rest. We will provide a default scoring system, but it is possible to make your individual adjustments as well.
Afterwards you will get provided with a link to your own league and the stat sheet for every Elite division team that allows you to see how "your" players are performing.

 

2. The best starting 6 of NHLGamer

You name us your starting 6; three forwards, two defensemen and one goalie. Here we will also apply the limitation that you can take "only" two players from one team. We will create a report where you can see who - out of all participants - picked the best starting six fantasy team. For the scoring system we will use the "default" settings.

If you are interested in creating a league, please post your league details as a comment in this thread.
If you want to take part for "the best starting 6 of NHLGamer", post your team here in the comments as well.

Let us hear your feedback!

I love the idea!

For me, a separate league would make more sense, then you could invite the people you want to join and you don’t have the same rosters sent as in Format 2.

And why only 6 people? Is there a limited capacity because of the system? If you had more guys in a league, the teams wouldn‘t include only players from the top 4 teams as you get forced to choose from the middle-bottom teams as well.

Technically more then 6 people should be possible and if you want to run a league with more users, that should be possible. I can edit the original post.

The number of 6 was more of a suggestion. I agree with your point, if you play with f.e. 4 users, most likely the players from the top teams get used. If you run a league with 6 users, you have to pick 60 players, the top 4 teams include 24 of them, so also "middle-bottom" teams will get featured.

You can also individualise your own league, so that you have to take 6 forwards, or only 4 forwards and 4 defenders. You could also do the setting that GWGs get you f.e. 15 points so the "go-to-guys" from the middle-bottom teams have more value.

I would say that up to 9 users would make the most sense with the 5-3-2 default setting as most likely all of the Elite teams will run their starting 6 which leads to 96 active players.

Thank you for the feedback

We got the first league signed up and they shall be provided with their respective links soon.
We will try to prepare a draft document soon as well.

If you want your league to be featured in the test as well, please get us the details of your league ASAP.
