what is your craziest idea for a new fantasy football feature, setting, or game mode? 🧐
I call this the “retire on top” league. Each week every team loses their top scoring player from that week, and they are ineligible to be used by anybody the rest of the season. The final week it’s just a 1 v 1
Trades where you can include draft picks. RB/WR/TE/QB (Rush yds only) Bonus points for 100 yd games QB Bonus points for null interceptions in a game where >200yds passing
A gamemode where you draft your ultimate team at the start of the season, and then can make no changes to your team during the season, other than change starters with bench-spots. Everyone can draft everyone - so all teams can fx draft Josh Allen to their team, and it's all about navigating through anticipations before the season begins. It'd obviously work best with larger rosters, so teams won't be identical, and so any one team won't be decimated by one or two injuries.
Take N’Keal Harry out of my Best Ball starting lineup.
give a different pokemon type to players from each nfl team, then have effective or ineffective point multipliers depending on which types go up against each other in h2h league matchups

“PICKS AND BANS” feature from Sleeper’s Fantasy LCS leagues. You should be able to pick a player on your team to be your Champion and also get the opportunity to block your opponent’s champion pick. It gives managers more chances to strategically counter their opponent, and feels so satisfying when you get it right. Commissioner should be able to set the bonus/penalty for this system in the Team settings so it doesn’t have to 100% cancel a player’s points. For example, it could be a 50% bonus/penalty. You should also be able to toggle which positions can/can’t be used (for example, you can’t have your QB or Kicker be a Champion).
PRO-BOWL WEEK 18: it’s unfortunate no one plays the last week of the season. As a prize for going to the championship, those two teams should be able to draft Pro-Bowl Teams (from all players) for an added exhibition matchup in week 18 for a head to head game, just as an added bonus. Pro Bowl could also be a feature added to every league where the commissioner sets the matchups manually (based on rivalry), and every team gets a head-to-head Pro Bowl draft/matchup for the exhibition game.
Winner takes all perfect line up challenge. Charge $1 per entry and start a rolling jackpot. 1st player to submit the perfect line up (top score at each position any given week) takes the pot.
Injury replacements if a player gets an injury designation during a game replace that player with a player from your bench. Create a reserve squad 1 QB, 1 WR, 1RB, 1 Flex, 1 Super Flex. A 5 man reserve squad that would give you option to swap when a player in your line ups health status changes
Pick a head coach and if he challenges a play and wins or loses - make scoring of such relevant just as those decisions have impact in real NFL games.
******** IN GAME ABILITY TO SUB A BENCH PLAYER FOR AN INJURY********** This should be standardized already. We learned what to do with subs during the inaugural Covid season. We did that painstakingly in our leagues like old school score keeping. The same should be applied to injuries in-game so long as you have a bench player of that position to replace the injured starter. @Sleeper @akahotcheetos
Aw fuck, I read “best idea for a fantasy football feature”…..sorry.
Fantasy football, but your goal is to get the least fantasy points possible. (Only a set amount of players available.)
Team positions rather than individual players. A cumulative score for all Patriots RBs would make it so they could compete f do or example.
I would like to do a league where you redraft players every week on Tuesday/Wednesday
Mark players “unlikely to trade”
Have a boom/bust flex spot that has a points threshold. Ex. If your player doesn’t score lets say 18 points that player actually gets 0. If he does get 18 points his points double
Double-ish elimination championship/losers bracket.
My crazy feature is being able to see what pick from who I’m trading on the web app!

@traderbens I love the Chess Timer. 1. Timing issues/rules regarding drafting usually are Commish related; it’s their league and if we join in to their chosen style, we are stuck with that. Most leagues are very cool about time (zone) differences, but the ones that aren’t don’t seem to be the limitations of the game, rather the league you’re playing in. 2. If there was a Sleeper Calc, it could be useful, and I agree that there should be one. A “simple” merger with one of the main calcs algorithms or something like that…. 3. Sleeper has advanced it’s platform in the way we communicate over the past 4 years. I think it should always work to improve itself and admins asking these questions are rad. Hopefully people can give some earnest feedback as you did. ***INTERLUDE*** 🎵 …sorry I’m not being a shithead or talking about MM🎵 4. No Def. Sorry 5.+6. Lost us I think. You’re awesome tho man… Thank you for being sincere. ⚡️
