is this done as a repeating league? Are past seasons visible? I haven’t played $40 million before and would like to have some idea what the meta is like before I build a team.

I don’t know if past seasons can be viewed,but please feel free to ask questions. Lots of good owners here willing to help.

What does the fielding look like on a typical roster? Besides 1B most of my fielding is a train wreck.

anthatortc, If this helps my OF are usually between 2-2.5 Million, RRFOF 2.00 and range of C+ this helps with fielding hitting not so much. i hope you try this Great League lots of good owners and a lot of fun with daily changes.

You can certainly try a team of D/D fielders if you like, but I never have. I tend to try and get either C/C or A/D type guys. You can do D/A but I find range to be a little more expensive than fielding so I don't use them quite as often.

ha! I'm just the opposite, which makes this a fun league. I always go for hitting and pitching and have D range guys though I try to do the best I can with actual fielding. For me, the most important thing by far is to have enough good IPs on the pitching staff and to have it spread around, not just in a couple of high inning guys.

This is my approach also. I worry less about my D and more about quality IP’s.

I just guess and hope. Probably why I have a negative rating. Haha

Hey, I'd like to enter a team, too. I'll claim Crosley Field as my home park. Thanks!

Here are the standings from the most recently completed $40m league: MLB145008

This should give some good insight into what kind of teams work... I draft very differently almost every single run... sometimes I target 4800 PA, sometimes 900 IP, Sometimes 5600 PA and other times 1250 IP. I tend to min/max hard with my ballparks at this cap.

Also, it looks like there's a 1200 IP min being enforced this time... possible to change (I was planning to bring 943 IP on one team) or are we enforcing that this go around?

You're right, thanks, I just saw that I was trying to put it in a champs league and not the league number

yeah just to clarify, there should be no mins. My team doesn't have 1200 IP and I got entered without an issue
