GDT: Fantasy Hockey 2024-25 Season All Leagues Info!

Another reason to change this format. Team A on top plays all goalies all week, they put up incredible numbers but he wins only 2 of 5 categories.

Team B stops dressing goalies after Tuesday and a few good starts, locking in an absolute unrealistric .968 save percentage and .99 GAA for the whole week after only two nights.

Btw I am not faulting the owner of this team, you do what you need to win within the rules, I get it.

Honestly i don't see the point of complaint here or why any of that is a reason to change formats.

You think it's fine that a team just benches their goalies for 5 of the 7 days remaining in the week?

We shouldn't be rewarding players for not playing....a points system means goalies have value all week long because you're building a point total.

This system results in guys sitting on their hands for the entire week because their goalies put up unsustainable numbers in the first two days of the week. That's an automatic 3 points for dumb luck at the start of the week.

How you don't see this is a problem is crazy. It's not rocket science. You're rewarding people for not playing lol.

If they're so lucky to be able to do so and willing to sacrifice losing the win and shutout categories for the automatic 2* points, why wouldn't it be fine?
As often as it doesn't really happen, it really isn't worth complaining about. And if it does happen often that way for someone (the 2 points LOL) it's likely because they took the risk with an early goalie pick and kinda earned that rare luxury. Otherwise, most everyone has equal opportunity at such luck.
