    Wait where'd this random post come from about all these scoring by Grady. This was an entire thread based on FG kicking. Lets not lose site of that. His post should be somewhere entirely different.

    One of the main things that differentiates defenseman from forwards is the amount of TOI that they put in. To make this work as a category it couldn't be cumulative for the whole week- rather you would take the top 10 (or top x amount) TOI performances from one team vs the top 10 (or x) TOI appearances of their opponent and add them against each other to decide the winner of the cat for the week (for H2H).
    This would keep it from getting devalued through something like streaming or a weak schedule and I think it would be a way to add more value to time-eating defenseman that many people have been looking to do without the double-counting of the stats for forwards since the forwards with little exception aren't going to give the highest TOI performances over Defensive players in most lineups.

    A viable option. Next to the percent value I would still like to see the very valuable numbers of the actual won/total numbers my players got in sort of a grey kind of like they do with TOI so ie-
    FO% 79 150/190
    And some sort of minimum FO's to be taken that can be set by commissioners so a guy who flukes with 10/11 can't win the category without really competing in it.

    I'd vote for this post if
    Punters
    were the only requested change.

    Still "gathering feedback" over 2 years later? Let me help: people want this! I would love to have this along with the faceoff won/lost stats, and I think it makes perfect sense. If we have shots against, saves, and save % for goalies, we can add faceoff %.

    Basically it would be the same as 10yds = 1 point. With fractional scoring it'll be the same as RB and WR. So a 43 yd FG you would score 4.3 points

  • TONY YACULLO commented  ·   ·  Report

    But yeah i fully support 1yd= 0.1 points. I hope Yahoo seriously considers this for 2016

  • TONY YACULLO commented  ·   ·  Report

    60+ yds would be included, cause you'd still be getting 1yd= 0.1. For example 63 yd FG would be 6.3

  • [Deleted User] commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can we just do .1 pts for every yard over 30, that way it's still a minimum of 3, and 60+ yard FGs are included too

  • Michael commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would also like to give bonus points for a GAME WINNING FG.

  • Michael commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is it possible to add Punters to Yahoo Line ups? My league would like to expand the kicking game.

  • Ryan McNamara commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've been wondering about this exact issue for years. I think it is extremely important. A 40 yard field goal is way different than a 49 yard field goal and should be treated that way.

    At least give us the option to have decimals for kickers or not. Many of the third party fantasy football sites use this (FleaFlicker). I don't see why it is so difficult to implement.

    As a Yahoo Fantasy user since 2006 at the age of 12, I think these types of ideas are necessary for Yahoo to implement to stay at the top of the industry.

  • Tony commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just got here via yahoo! chat, I totally agree with this if your WR RB get their actual yardage so should K. They should allow to chose 1 point per 10 yards. Then have separate for missed FG as some leagues will chose not to use that. I would not want to penalize a K for having missed a 55yd FG cause they need to tie/win a game. You shouldn't penalize a kicker for such a difficult kick.

  • Anson Oda commented  ·   ·  Report

    i put all 3 votes, but as long as you can do fractional negative pts for misses too.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hey Anonymous -- Your equation doesn't start with zero.
    Perhaps you meant to say starting with the zero yard line?
    I would call it the goal line.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'd prefer a base value starting with zero.
    Please consider 2 points + .1 point for each yard away from the goal line from which the ball was hiked.
