Scoring - Position specific scoring categories
This scoring setting change would allow commissioners to change the scoring value for common scoring categories for each position individually (ex: forwards and defensemen). Currently you can only change the scoring value for all positions at once.

ESPN offers a category called "Defensemen Points" for head-to-head category leagues.
We would rather stay with yahoo, but the lack of a Defensemen Points category turns us away.
This was posted going on 10 years ago and still NOTHING! What is the point in asking for features that are never put into production!

Would it be possible to split the Forwards and Defensemen in the scoring so we could have different values for Goals and assits

Currently, they're more forward dominate categories (FW, SOG, all point categories) compared to defensemen (Blocks). In leagues where they're 4 defensemen roster spots (most leagues), it hard to justify using all 4 in bigger leagues, when you can run an extra forward.
I suggest adding defensemen points to make decent defensemen who get points 30-40 points more valuable and viable.

There's so many forward dominate categories (Faceoff wins, Shots on goal, All point categories etc...) compared to defensemen dominate ones (Blocks).
I believe adding a defensemen points category would make leagues with 4 defensemen roster spots (most leagues) more inclined to use them, and make defensemen who get 30-40 points a season more valuable, instead of having specialist guys on your roster, who only hit/block.
This category is also offered on ESPN fantasy as well, but not on Yahoo.

Set it up for separate points for forwards and defensemen

Agreed - we do D goals/assists worth a point extra - this helps to level the playing field and ensures the draft won't be FWD heavy in the first rounds (with that scoring adjustment Karlsson might go in first round)

my league uses G, A, PIM, PPP, S, H, B as categories. Dmen have tremendous value in this setup.

I want to be able to set the scoring for dmen and not for all skaters. Dmen score less and should get more points for blocks, goals, assists, ect. right now they are quite useless unless you have top a top 5 dman in lineup.

Agree this is needed. We've tweaked ours a lot (and added blocked shots as well) to try and boost the value of D, but it's nowhere near good enough.

As we approach the 2015-2016 season, is this going to finally be fixed? My pool will be leaving yahoo if this can't be implemented. It is unfortunate that such an otherwise robust pool system cannot accommodate this simple tweak.

Can forwards and defensmen have differents scoring settings this year in Yahoo Fantasy Hockey. I would like to make my pool with this type of scoring settings :
F : Goals : 2 Assists : 1
D : Goals : 3 Assists : 2
Is it possible to add this feature this year ? Thanks! -

Im in the league with Robb and without this stat we wont be switching. Forget it. Ive been in pools where defenceman are undervalued and its dumb how big the gap is. ESPN is just better.

I currently have a league on ESPN and we're very happy with ESPN as a whole. The only downside to ESPN is that they don't allow draft pick trading during the season. That's pretty much it. Yahoo has that but doesn't have some major features such as defencemen points. It's really sad that both sites have different issues and you have to pick between the lesser of two evils so to speak. I wonder which site will budge first and actually start listening to feedback first. Tick tock.

Why would you do this? Forwards should be rewarded for hits and blocks the same as the D should be rewarded for goals and assists. I'm not calling you dumb, but your idea and your league kind of are.

This is an idea I've had as well. It makes sense, and yes officepools does it.. I would add a UTIL spot for my league and just count PIM's for a "goon". This needs to happen. So many options would open up.
