Share your thoughts: BIG change if a league goes to 14 teams instead of 12?

take out the rb slot, keep both flex spots

???? with 14 teams?

I had a 14 team league and the depth was so unbelievably bad... It sucks man. Like, people were scraping for players off of waivers week to week.

yeah that's what my league members are saying, I guess in my head I think the difference isn't that big but it actually is

It's like another 20+ players gone. And 10+ elite players. It spreads the player market SOOOO thin. It seriously sucks because you have to gamble on your lower tier starters week in and week out.

Here is what my 14 team league looks like....there are a few good players on waivers, my suggestion is to cut down the positions and have 1 qb;2 rb;2 wr; 1 te; 1 flex

anyway I picked 11th out of 14...

1. (11) Ryan Mathews RB
2. (18) Calvin Johnson WR
3. (39) Anquan Boldin WR
4. (46) Jermichael Finley TE
5. (67) Knowshon Moreno RB
6. (74) Jay Cutler QB
7. (95) Pittsburgh DEF
8. (102) Michael Bush RB
9. (123) Jacoby Jones WR
10. (130) Carnell Williams RB
11. (151) Vince Young QB
12. (158) Mike Williams WR
13. (179) Matt Prater K
14. (186) Jabar Gaffney WR
15. (207) Tony Scheffler TE

But in a 12-man team, your picks from 9-15 are SO much better than the players you have. Not dogging your team, but I'm just saying from the standpoint of 12 person league.

yeah we're probably just gonna go with 12, sucks for my buddy though but oh well, I had been saying we had an open spot for weeks and he never jumped on it, his bad

That looks doable to me. The slots you had in the first post were more than what we have in my 12 person league. I would think someone would wind up starting the water boy under those conditions.

I think it also depends on how much your league knows about FF and football in general. I have always felt that 10 person leagues are good for the work place and with casual fans, 12 = good for the average fan. 14 = you should have some really good football and FF knowledge. If your guys aren't really knowledgable I'd either stick to 12 people or keep the number of players you carry down.

and i always had fun playing in a 22 team league. right now i am in a money league where we are stuck. we have 11 owners and want a 12 team league, and do not want a 10 team league.
