Anyone else playing multiple teams

[flubber]

I noticed in my week to week thread that eevryone mentioned only one.

I play three weekly H2H. All have similar roster sizes but I have found two big challenges


1. They use different stats (12, 13 and 14 categories respectively). I have to keep reminding myself that one league doesn't have Hits, one doesn't have SOG and one gas games started instead of saves.

2. league size--- this is HUGE--- My leagues have 10, 12 and 14 teams. In the 14 team league every starter and EVERY backup likely to play 20 games was drafted and prety much NEVER released. In the 10 teamer there are about a dozen viable backups out there and one could flip them fairly routinely-- I had never realized what a huge difference the league size would make but with 100 more players on the waiver wire, the difference in quality is just massive


So anyone else playing several leagues. Any particular challenges?

flubber - I'm in a points-league. It's a small league among friends (we've been together for nearly a decade now). We get four keepers (1 G, 1D, and 2F). The scoring and waiver wire is much different from my 12 team Pro league (yahoo default stats). And since there isn't much crossover in my rosters, I'm constantly going back and forth to figure out my starting rosters each night.

Hockey and baseball are pretty much the only sports I don't play in dual leagues - exactly because of the issues your brought up. Not only all the scoring and roster size issues, but also the sheer maintenance hockey is vs. say football (which has ZERO strategy post draft IMO and you pretty much never have decisions based on whom to start on what day, minimum vs. maximum starts, etc.. - its all about yards and TDs..but I digress lol).

Hockey is like baseball - every single day you have to work with your roster, possibly make moves...constantly keep up to date on injury situations, seeing in baseball if a new closer has taken over- to be really good you have to keep your ears to the ground IMO almost every night. So for me, in baseball and hockey I just play in one league. Just my preference, I don't know how I'd be able to work with 2 teams at once -and what would be really hard is if you have a guy on your team and then you are playing him in another league lol talk about bittersweet when he scores :)

Yeah, hockey is too much for me to play 2 leagues. And I care about it the most and put the most time into it so it would be very hard for me.

I could play fantasy football in 2 leagues if I wanted to, there you only have to set lineups once a week.

I am just in 1 money keeper league with my friends.

But I did just adopt an abandoned team from another non money league. Gonna be tough work though, the only goalies it had were Niittymaki and Clemmenson. And All I could pick up were Ellis and Enroth
