Please add Overtime Points Tracking- G, A, P
GWG is a bit of a fluke stat given the timing someone scores. If you could track those who produce in overtime, it would would help capture the 'clutch' factor of players. It also rewards those top tiered players who are getting ice in OT. -

With kickers getting more powerful, our league unanimously voted that we want the option for additional bonus points on a 60+ yard field goal. Current yahoo settings only give you the option of 50+ yards. I reached out to yahoo asking for this added option. I figured I'd share this idea with the community.

Fights should be a stat. If a player gets a 5 minute fighting penalty then that is a benefit for the team in real life as a momentum changer. However, all other penalties should not count as a benefit to a fantasy team.
Example: Brad Marchand receives a game misconduct and is kicked out of the game. My fantasy team wins PIM for the week, but the real team is screwed. -

Defensive pass interference should award the WR/TE/RB/QB with half the regular amount of yardage points; or at least provide the option and let the commish choose the % allocation. Seems unfair that the offensive players gets nothing in this situation.

Highly agree with variable PPR and incremental kicker scoring.
Would like to add:
1. All Tackles for Loss +0.25 each, then +0.1 for each yard lost. Currently we get sacks. A 1-yard sack is less valuable than stopping the RB 5 yards into the backfield.
2. All 0 or negative yardage plays net 0 points for the offensive player. In PPR, catching a screen pass but losing a yard results in +0.9 points for a negative play. The QB does not lose yardage for sacks, presumably because this is the fault of the offensive line. The same could be said for failed reverses, screens and simple running plays.

Implement goalie scoring in points leagues to factor in relevant skater points. IE: if the skaters earn points for assists, goalies should also earn points when they contribute assists for their team. This seems like a large oversight, where a few points could change the entire scoring of the league and the final results of the season.

There should be deductions for ints on 2 pt conversions. If points can be given for positive plays than points should be taken away for negative plays. I.e., Tom Brady throwing a pick on a 2 pt conversion.

This has been outstanding for 4 years! I do not understand why, this seems like a logical enhancement that should be made to the capabilities of yahoo fantasy hockey.

I'd be happy enough to get FGs scored using an equation -- and let the Commish set the multiplier.
Please consider something like: Each FG is worth (multiplier x yards), but always at least 3 points.
So, if the Commish puts the multiplier at one point per 10 yards, a 40 yard FG would be 4 points.
So, if the Commish puts the multiplier at one point per 5 yards, a 40 yard FG would be 8 points.
With the minimum 3 point rule, a team on the one yard line would still receive 3 points. -

PIMS should be negative in a cats league, or we should be given the choice of PIMS(positive) and PIMS(negative).

How this isn't an option in 2018 amazes me. Get it together, Yahoo

Upvoting for fractional FGs. It is a must-have -- why not treat FG like other positions? 3.0 points for both a 30-yarder and a 39-yarder makes no sense.
It is simple: FG distance divided by 10. Make it happen please! From a product perspective this is very low-hanging fruit.

at least have the option to have 6 pts for 60+, why stop at 5 for 50+?

Using faceoff win % is perfectly fine. You would combine all faceoff stats for all skaters to get your team faceoff win %, just like they do for GAA and SV% (also for baseball stats like AVG, OPS, ERA, WHIP, and any ratio stats in any sport). The only way it would be "skewed" as you say, is if one entire team only had a few faceoffs all week. i.e. your whole team goes 2 for 3 (.667), while your opponent's team goes 39 for 60 (.650). This would not be fair to the opponent on the FO% stat, but to accomplish this, you'd have to bench players and forgo their other stats, which wouldn't be a fruitful strategy. Faceoff win % is a perfectly fine stat.

there should be an option under 'head to head' PIM category to select either "most PIMs wins" or "least PIMs wins". Make it an option! Personally, I think that well-disciplined players should be worth more than goons.

@yahoofantasy for NHL please dear Gretzky can you make faceoff% a stat category for fantasy? FO won only benefits C heavy teams with rw/lw eligibility and FO lost AND won is too many points to devote to FO. It would be rly easy and help a lot. p.s. go hockey!

This request (ranked 107th presently) is essentially a duplicate of the 11th ranked request, except that this one adds a mention of "net face offs". These should be combined into one request, and the request should be honored! We have been asking for years to have FW% added. We had to dumb-down my league this year because face off wins alone is an incomplete stat, and we're not going to add face off losses and use two categories to cover one stat.
