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.

A certain competing fantasy sports company has this stat that will add a set value of fantasy points to a goal or assist a defenseman registers. This helps my league add value to defense and avoid stacking on forwards.
Please I want to switch my league to Yahoo. Our keeper league is too dedicated to having that category to be able to switch without it.

i like that idea if a player can get a point for a catch. than he should loose points for a drop.

The player who muffs the kick is charged with a fumble in the Yahoo! game, but not the D/ST.

Defense/Special teams should lose points for lost/muffed kick and punt returns. If the kicking team can gain points for recovering a muffed kickoff/punt, the receiving team should be penalized for losing said muffed kick/punt.

This is a must please add FACEOFF % is a very important stat that I fully support.

Please, please, please, add Faceoff % as a stat!! We don't want to have to use 2 separate stats to count it (FOW & FOL), because that essentially makes it twice as valuable as it would be if it's combined into one stat (and twice as important as any stat that is only covered by one category). We have been waiting for years and years for this improvement, and we're still waiting!! Faceoff % is a very important stat! Other fantasy hosts (ESPN for example) offer it! It's just not important enough to take up two categories.... PLEASE fix it! (we love Yahoo fantasy, except for this glaring oversight)

There should be an option in the beginning of a fantasy league scoring settings to allow goalies who lost a game in overtime or shootout to have a point.

Players should lose a point or fractional point when they commit a penalty that is accepted. Penalties effect the real game, they should also effect the fantasy game.

I agree. Goalies collect assists all the time and the very rare goal. There should be a category for this.
Thanks!

some categories should be worth more! The reward for a penalty should not be the same as a goal... or at least that should be a choice that is available

Have the choice to determine that a stat category is worth 1 or 2 points. Could add significance to goals and assists for example, and stil track other stats for points. So in a league that uses 8 stats, if 2 are weighted to 2 points, then the point total would be 10 per week.

Leave it the same. There are other "negative" categories to choose from like +/-, etc... No change

The problem here is that there's nothing in the box score indicating either the player benefiting from the DPI call or the player guilty of the OPI call; thereby making this an individual stat impossible to track.

I like having the option available and like everything else, it should be at the commish's discretion of how the system operates. Since the penalty for offensive P.I. is 10 yards, as commish I'd probably set it at (1) ppdpi (pt per def P.I.) and (-1) ppopi (pt per off P.I.) since 10 yds is 1 pt in most scoring systems. Something is better than nothing.

i have also thought we should award points for the Def getting a victory ,it is their ultimate goal
