    I'd really like to see shootout scoring introduced into the Yahoo Fantasy. Seeing as shootouts play a huge role in the winning of a game, it would be great as a fantasy "GM" to have your players who score a shootout goal get something like half a point and shootout winners be one point.

    I totally understand this complaint and had my understanding of it 'backwards' in my first season of fantasy hockey......but that's the way it is.....Yahoo.....

    We should have the option to award points to D/ST for pinning the offence inside the 5 yard line on a punt.

    The ST stands for special teams, right? Punt returns can count for points, why not punts?

    Why is this closed and every time a suggestion of it is made, it is merged? If you have no intention of even listening to our requests, at least just tell us to ******** so we look into other leagues and stop hoping you'll actually adjust. These stats are already tracked and this would be a very simple edition.

  • S K commented  ·   ·  Report

    Add the ability to select punters. Could be as simple as points for pinned in the 20, pinned in the 10, pinned in the 5, net yards. This would be a nice dynamic, that some may not want, but would be a nice option for some.

    You can always create your own custom categories and weight them as you see fit.

    Goals are goals and assists are assists on the ice regardless of who gets them, they should absolutely count in fantasy for all positions. I would have won my Week 1 if Rask's 2 assists were counted. Please change.

    p.s. to all those who say that forwards/deferencemen should get points for saves, if goalies start getting points for G/A/PIM/SOG/PPP/GWG, newsflash: they already do - it's called blocked shots

  • Ed Lorenzen commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed it rarely happens but goalie assits and goals and PIMs should be able to be added to team totals

  • Jace Knight commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add GP when users are looking at their players under the "My Team" tab. It will be a lot easier to see who to bench or start. Thanks!

  • Jesse Bosma commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add GP (games played) to the stats strickley for viewing purposes

    Last night Tukka Rask had 2 assists, (4 point in our scoring) and in a close race could be decided by 4 points. I don't believe that PIMs have a lot of value for goalies but it would be nice if when a goalie gets an assist or a goal (even though they are very rare) to collect points for that. When setting up a league it would be nice to have the option to allow these points. If one league doesn't want to allow this they don't need to have them but for us who do it is a nice option. I also play in a fantasy football league and I feel like this is like not allowing a WR to get passing yards. It is rare but if you had Pryor or Edelman on your team and they ran a trick play or something and they completed a pass you'd be choked if you didn't/couldn't get they points.

    I don't understand the desire for this proposal... a GWG is a GWG whether it's in OT or not isn't it?
    To say it's "Truer" than scoring with say less than a second in regulation isn't right. And how is it more "clutch" when it's down to 3 on 3?
    While I'm all for having options there are better improvements to be made

  • Peter commented  ·   ·  Report

    Overtime goals and Shootout goals are two of the worst categories you can ask for.

  • Lanso Gonso commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can you please add OT Loss to Goalies? My pool uses this stat to award points

  • Christopher Coyne commented  ·   ·  Report

    Add a scoring category for a hat trick so you can give bonus points for it. Yahoo needs more scoring categories like ESPN

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    At least give us the option to run it as a negative stat.

  • Tate commented  ·   ·  Report

    I suppose there is no chance of getting this implemented prior to October 12? Guess it's another year in ESPN...
