You need a default with points, whatever is less, zero or negative points. Someone in my league had (-16pts) for the week with two goalie plays and decided not to play goalies the rest of week so the points would be added at the end of the week for not reaching minimum, so you gave him plus 16pts at the end of the week.

Moneyline Option -
Add an optional moneyline fantasy owners can select for each player in their lineup. The moneyline option would simply increase or decrease a players total points based on the outcome of their teams game. Such an option would allow fantasy owners to be invested in both their individual player and the actual outcome of the football games.
For Example:
- A players team has +100 moneyline odds (2.0 decimal odds)
- Moneyline option is selected for player (remember its optional per each player)
- Player scores 10 fantasy points
- If players team wins game then the total points scored is 20 (10 x 2.0)
- If the players team loses game then total points scored is 5 (10 x 0.5)Hoping to make this a reality merely to show my friends it is a good idea.

if defense gets credit for a blocked punt and a TD if they score, how can the points then count against the Defense scoring. (example Carolina if being charged 33 points against, when 6 of those points scored were from a blocked punt recovery, shouldn't Carolina Def only be charged 27?)

Mark Myers commented
Get rid of the +/- please. It's so stupid. Replace with blocks or even FOW and everyone is happy

Let's start with "PIM as a negative" at the very least, and pleeeease add "Goalie scoring (G, A, PIM)" as secondary importance. After that the other categories would be cool but, to me, unnecessary.
-
Kyle Weber commented
Can we get fights as a category? PIM is a negative to a team typically, unless it's a fight that changes the momentum of the game.

Ross Marcinkowska commented
Minimum Goalie Starts for head to head penalty should be allowed to edit points or minus automatic points if not met.
Defensive scoring points would be an awesome add!
As a commissioner we should be able to have more options with scoring and settings.

Special teams points would be very nice and I would love it if we could add even-strength save percentage (EVSV%)

Additional penalty for player who loses a fumble and its returned for a TD. Right now Yahoo penalizes a QB who throws a pick-six -2 for the pick and an additional -2 for the TD given up. The same concept should be applied to any player (Q,R,W,T) who loses a fumble and its returned. For example -2 for the lost fumble, and additional -2 (or maybe more) penalty if its returned for a TD.

More than a cool option my friend. Especially the game winning goal! I am completely shocked as my first time playing in a fantasy hockey league that a GAME WINNING GOAL no matter when scored doesn't count for anything.......I am baffled that this is not an hot butting for everyone. Once again, it is the goal that decided the winner and is literally pointless! Shocked, completely shocked! Oh ya did I say, I can't believe this?" I can understand for all the other stats, as not all games go into OT, but the goal that wins the game, this is an actual stat that just gets completely removed and what
stuns me more is everyone seems OK with it. This post should be overloaded with people freaking out about this. As you can plainly see, I am! -

Considering how simple it is at a computer science level, they are intentionally holding it back.
It's so frustrating, and clearly demonstrates Yahoo intends to charge its customers for every little feature in the future.
Go ahead and prove me wrong, team. But I fear I'll be on FanTrax before this is fixed.

Any update on if GP could be added to the stats section and not only under average stats?!
-
Sean Taylor commented
No idea how Yahoo hasn't fixed this yet.... it must not affect enough leagues, but still this fix should take less than an hour.
-
Kevin Vanstone commented
Restore Average Stats to 2 decimal places.
In previous years, my (even number) points league still displayed the average fantasy points generated to two decimal places.
Why was this functionality removed?
-
Robert Luke commented
Add Games Played (GP) column when viewing players stats anywhere on the site, such as under Players or My Watch List etc. Without seeing GP, stats are meaningless.

Ross Marcinkowska commented
I would love to see a category for defensive scoring bonus, hat trick bonus and primary assists put into Yahoo leagues!
-
Ross Marcinkowska commented
This is a needed feature!

Ross Marcinkowska commented
This should definitely be a feature added SOON!
