Before I get started, I'm sorry if you came looking for a spot into my league. I already have my 12 guys. We have been doing a league year in and year out for 5 years, and it seems like we are ready to make it a keeper league.
I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for starting a keeper league? Or maybe share some experience starting a keeper league? I am looking for suggestions about roster size, minor league players, # of keepers, things like that. It seems we are going to do H2H with typical 5X5 categories, so after week one for instance a team would have a record of 7-3 (as opposed to 1-0). Thanks for your help!

In my keeper league, we keep 25 and draft 5 more. I like it because you can pick a prospect and have to wait for that prospect to develop or fill a hole with someone that just got booted off someone else's roster. I think it's a good level.

Whatever you do, do NOT try to keep minor leaguers on a separate excel spreadsheet - too much damn work.

What I would love to find is a league where, rather than keepers, you can offer guys contracts. The AI then goes out and uses a formula to determine what that player would be likely to accept. Add an additional layer to the Keeper system.
