Rule Change Discussion: Change FAAB Budget

[joeizzo]

I'd like to suggest one small change. Since we don't have to worry about interleague trades in Gibson, I was thinking that we might reduce the FAAB budget. Any player purchased in FAAB for over $36 would not be freezable the following year under our current rules. No one has spent more than $25 this year. Last year there was one outlier that spent all of their budget but other than that $19 was the max spend.



My proposal would be to cut the budget to $35 so that it would be possible for any selected player to be frozen the following year.  Please respond to the poll on whether you want the FAAB budget to remain at $60 like it is in all Mocksports leagues, reduce to $35 as proposed, or reduce to a different amount (if you want a different amount please state that as well as your reasons in the comments.

Thanks,

Joe

Note the poll is not binding but will be strongly considered especially if we get near full participation

I would have with reducing Faab if we also had 10 reserve slots in addition to the farm.

We might also go with contracts.

I also wonder if it would possible to put the round a player occupies rather than salary on our team pages

Are we still raising the salaries three rounds worth for keepers for next year? In which case 28, 32, and 36 salaried players can’t be kept right?

Currently yes but George and Doug had suggestions that would value keepers differently.
