    I've wrote about this toooo many times! just add it!

    I Love Yahoo's custom scoring options, but would like a few more: #1- Enable Win, loss, and tie +or- for both QB's and team Defs. bonus points #2- Enable penalties committed/drawn +or- such as pass int. drawn for a receiver/QB, or a holding call against a player resulting in negative points, in increments of 5 yard, 10 yard, and 15 yard penalties, etc... #3- instead of only offer bonus points for 40+ yard efforts, offer bonus points for 20+ & 30+ & 40+ yard efforts at each position. #4- Offensive fumble recovery yards gained as well as def and Special teams fumble recovery yards gained for specific players. #5- Kickers field goals offering a per yard amount instead of a range, example: Field Goals 0-30 Yards= 3, each additional yard over 30= .10 (ex. 48 yard field goal = 4.8 points), also with a negative amount on misses. #6- team def points and yards given up equaling a per yard and a per point amount instead of the range. example is 0 points given up= 12 points, and each point given up = -.5 points, then 0's out at 24 points given up, and similar with yards given up on a per yard basis. #7 points for onside kick recovery for both players and team Def's. #8 for PPR, have a ability to differentiate the PPR amount between RB's, WR's, and TE's, example: Receptions RB= .5, Receptions WR= 1, Receptions TE= 1.5 #9- Junk Yards/points: If the team Def. Team is winning by 24+ points at any time in the 4th quarter, then from that point on, the value of all points and yards given up will be reduced... (–.5 points for every point given up instead of –1, and –.02 points for every yard given up (+ or –) instead of –.05... The same applies if the team is up by 17+ points with 5 min. or less left in the game, from that point on, all of the yards and points given up AFTER that point are reduced as the same above. However, if at any point thereafter, the opposing team gets within 10 points, then it all becomes nullified and the entire game scoring goes back to the regular scoring... #10- A player does NOT become “locked” in his roster position at game time... Instead, the player becomes “locked” when they enter into the game. The only exception is for team Def. And kickers, they become “locked” at game time, as long as the kicker is “active”. If the kicker is “inactive” then they will not lock in and you will be able to pull the kick at any time during the week until the week ends. #11- Any player cannot score less than 0 points... So I don't want any player, including team def. To score less than 0 points (no final negative points for any position) #12- be able to play more than 30 roster positions. #13- Team def. bonus points for kickoff touchbacks, kickoff's inside the 20, punts inside the 10 yard line.

    Should be an easy fix C'mon Y!

  • matt scarpetti commented  ·   ·  Report

    Other sites use their stats. In finals tonight and my goalie has two assist s. This is nonsense

  • Matthew Frankovic commented  ·   ·  Report

    For the same reason pitchers don't have their batting stats counted in fantasy baseball: that's not what they are there for.

  • John Hillburg commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is fantasy hockey, not fantasy skills competition. And GMs just discussed ways to make shootouts less a part of the regular season. As they should.

  • anthony commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't see what's so dumb about this Trevor??

    If that goal counts, decides the game, and gives a team one extra point, why isn't it a goal stat??

    No logic that you try can work. Go ahead.....

  • Mike L. commented  ·   ·  Report

    Takeaways, giveaways, and faceoff percentage would be welcome. The idea with special teams points would be nice (as would shootout percentage.)

  • Ryan Leung commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a Great idea!! should be placed in all leagues.. it will balance out goalies in alot of leagues

  • John commented  ·   ·  Report

    Scoring penalties as a positive stat add more players to the mix. Players such as Steve Downie, Brandon Dubinsky, Chris Krieder, Travis Hamonic, Dustin Byfuglien are more valuable. If you want to run a sissy European hockey pool with only offensive stats, then take out PIMs. Quit your whining about penalties.

  • Trevor Meyers commented  ·   ·  Report

    No offense to the guy who suggested this but please do not include goalie scoring. It's such a dumb idea. Yes goalies rarely get goals, assists, SOG and occasionally get PIMs but it's so infrequent it's just a waste of time and a clutter of the pages to include this.

  • Ryan Leung commented  ·   ·  Report

    Goalies also need overtime Loss points. I think it will help even out some leagues

  • Noah S commented  ·   ·  Report

    We have always excluded PIM from our custom league specifically because of situations where a player gets ejected from a game (I'm looking at you Lucic) and the team owning that player wins the PIM point for the week. I agree that fights could be a positive stat, but nobody should ever be happy when their player is ejected for a game misconduct.
    Side note: penalties drawn would be an awesome category

  • Mike Frank commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't think that any shoot out points should be included. Even the NHL doesn't count them. If a game goes into the shootout at 0-0, both goalies get a shutout.

    The goalie should definitely be able to score the other stat categories. Some teams have goalies that are good at handling the puck. They'll score some assists during the season. You probably wouldn't win or lose based on the few times this happens. But your player still earned those points, so there should be an option of allowing them to count.
