New Franchise League Theme league West loading league

just a reminder 5 free agents salary has to be $25,000,000 or less trades can be made once league is run and within framework of salary cap no trades on this board ,all players can be traded,and once 5 players draft is done all free agents from 18 unchosen teams are off limits as regards to free agent pickups. I fthere are any questions let me know

Is it ok to draft less then 5 FA's?

Surely it's OK and I am considering that too. I am thinking the 5 FA and $25M rule is just a MAX.

Mookie Betts CF Boston

25MM and 5 free agents is a max however you could use free agents as trade bait and remember after league runs only free agents you can use are those from team u chose or 5th that u drafted

Give Toronto a warning. I won't be long. I was going to grab Betts so it will be just a short delay now.

I know im late bringing this up but if we try this again I think it would be great to have 1-4 East, 5-8 Central and 9-12 West to make it even more competitive for the guys picking lower.

Not sure putting a weak team in the playoffs just to get their butt kicked RD 1 is the best answer. I'd prefer something that makes it easier for teams 5-12 to improve in draft. A little more money to spend is the only thing I can think of. More rounds isn't helpful as you'd be dumping cheap players for slightly better cheap players.

Don't take our comments too personal MFL. Things can always be improved. It's no knock on you. Thanks for starting the league. It will be fun.

no problems on suggestions as it is I started this one because I like team theme leagues but some don't allow trading,some are 5 1/2 teams ,some are unlimited trading not within the league salry format etc ,seems like a good group some I have been in leagues with before some new

One more idea...Take the top 9 pitchers and top 11 position players salary on each franchise. If it is $80 mill they get $10 to spend if it is $65 then they get $25 for FA's, etc.
