Max games per week option in head-to-head leagues.
Allow a setting where there can be a maximum number of games played each week in head-to-head matchups.
This prevents uneven matchups based on volume- especially in deeper leagues- which compromises the competitive strategy of the game.

This is a serious issue that must be taken into consideration.

For my 11 category, weekly matchup league - I want to add a weekly game cap/limit so the # of games is equal each week between opponents. Usually there is an uneven # of games involved in each matchup and in categories - when totals is everything - it’s an unfair advantage / disadvantage.
This completely removes the skills and knowledge required to succeed in the competitive environment we’ve constituted over the years.
It makes bad players with 4 games in a given week more valuable than all stars with only 2 games on the schedule that same week.
It does not seem like a very difficult feature to build out, and we have plenty of time before the ‘21/22 season to fix any bugs that may arise.
Ideally it should be offered in 5 game ranges - 45 is probably the most ideal but I would start the option at 25 - increase by increments of 5 - until you hit 60+.
Please help make our yahoo fantasy basketball league the best it can possibly be by implementing this change. Thank you.

Hi,
Please include maximum games allowed option in head to head leagues. For example: I have below average players, but because they have 47 games scheduled to play that week, I'm gonna beat a better team because they have 40 games scheduled vs me.
This will increase strategy and if I have 47 games scheduled for my players, but the maximum allowed is 40, that means I will have to strategically bench 7 games and will pay attention to rest days, matchups and which guys I need to bench.
This allows the better managed team and the better overall team, a better chance to win.

Our league has a maximum of 50 moves because we don’t have the time to stream players daily. However, that means that winning your week is almost solely based on how many games your team plays that week. It’s getting pretty lame.

I have been using !Yahoo Fantasy Basketball since 2000...19 years!!!! We only stay because the group and commissioner do not want to put in the work to switch to a different platform. It seems like !Yahoo Fantasy has the same idea; they are too lazy to make the platform better because of users like mine where majority of the old guys are too lazy to make things better.
!Yahoo Fantasy, Please allow for the option to set a max number of games per week. This is not a difficult fix. You do not have to make it complicated with limits by position etc. Just allow for setting a max per week. This will make the game play much more fun.
Thanks. -

Yea this has been my biggest concern with Yahoo H2H fantasy leagues. We had a league meeting on this 2 weeks ago and decided to stick with ESPN because of the lack of weekly games played limits on Yahoo.
Everything else on Yahoo is superior to ESPN Fantasy sports but we just cant make the switch without weekly game limts
Agreed

espn allows you to do 30,32,34,36,40 etc
yahoo only allows 32? this is silly.
When a team plays 40 games and another team plays 35 , its pretty **** hard for the team playing 35 games to win.
This feature will make things most fair.
How has this not been implemented in the last 6 or so years?

Ok there are comments here from 2015 asking for this feature, that I was quite oblivious to.
If you guys need a guinea pig league to feature flag and test you need to hit me up. Lets bring this to your current and NEW user base. :)

Wow, Adam Kroon is a genius. If yahoo follows through with this I’d be willing to move multiple fantasy leagues to the platform.

Hey,
My legacy h2h fantasy basketball league is currently using ESPN as its platform.
ESPN currently implements a weekly games played cap for each team, which we set to 35. For example:
- my team has 34 games played on Saturday night, and 9 players playing the following day
- my team accumulates all stats generated by players for a total of 43 games by the end of Sunday nightWe feel that this feature adds a layer of strategy to our league, making GMs have to decide which games they want to choose instead of just having ALL games available to them.
We're currently trying to move away from ESPN, because their product is quite inferior compared to other products including yahoo, however GMs in our league feel that this one issue is a sticking point for the transition.
I'd love to get a chance to talk to someone about this feature if possible. We've already found your customer service to be exceptional compared to ESPN!
Thanks!
