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.

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

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. -
Josh Kyrzakos commented
No thanks. No one drafts goalies for assists.

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. -

I don't mind adding coaches...you could award points based on wins (its like choosing a team defence) AND challenges won.

I agree

I've been saying this for years. If anyone hits 30 yards or lower they should get a standard 3 points but anything more should be partial points. Even if it's over 50 yards. 59 yard fg gives you 5.9 pts.

Chris Brothers commented
We already have partial point scoring for running and receiving yards so why not field goals. Anything 30 and under should get a standard 3 pts but for example if you hit a 49 yarder you should get 4.9 or better yet a 59 yarder should be 5.9 points.

The idea of adding Punters is good.
I'm not voting for this item because I don't really see how adding Coaches would help the game. -

Commisioners should have the option to count them. For all the people who oppose goalie stats, just don't include them in your league. But it's silly that yahoo! doesn't even allow it as an option.

Ridiculous how this is not even an option for teams. Niemi had two assists last night and it's stupid that it won't count and could cost someone in the head to head matchup.

I like the idea of adding elements like this. Having a slot for punters would be cool. Fbs too. We differ Tes from WR, FB has a different role than rb.
Then for the people who want win bonus, that could be a head coach slot. -
Ron Tse commented
Still not included this year? Ridiculous. 13th ranked suggestion. Are you guys only capable of implementing only a few ideas every year?

Yes, an equation would be better. That's not to say that more scoring categories isn't an improvement. But, an equation would be a superior improvement.
Note to Anonymous: Why are you calling yourself what I call myself? -

Not just player goals. We need goalie wins and losses as well. And goalie saves and goals against. Why this hasn't been added years ago I simply cannot understand.

Agreed. I don't know if I'd call it Faceoff Win % or just Faceoff % (FO%), but it needs to be in there. Inferior products have it as a category and I'm in a league that just switched because of it. That's nuts.

I agree on adding Punters.
