The prevalence of free fantasy football services and fantasy football contests and challenges exacerbates this mindset, as well, because it is impossible to have “Keeper Leagues” in those situations.
Leagues in which each team keeps 20% or less of their roster at season’s end are not true “Keeper Leagues.” When it comes to the option of becoming a “Keeper League,” choose it and promote establishing more; when it comes to the number of players to be protected in your “Keeper League,” go with more.
Trading virtually is a non-issue in “Turnover Leagues,” relative to its influence in “Keeper Leagues” at least, when, in fact, it is the most intense and can be the funnest part of fantasy football, not to mention, the key to winning.
