Points Leagues-

Beginners typically start here, but it’s nothing to take lightly because the value could be different if your settings are tailored towards stats that may give you more points. The default setting on Yahoo and ESPN is a fair assessment to go by. Field goals made (1), field goals attempted (-1), free throws made (1), free throws attempted (-1), points (1), rebounds (1.2), assists (1.5), steals (3), blocks (3) and turnovers (-1). Someone like Ben Simmons would earn little more stand-alone power in Points Leagues vs Redraft or Dynasty league due to the triple-double threat he can provide on any given night.

Dynasty Leagues –

Intermediate and Advance GM’s level here. A personal favorite of mine that more owners are starting to get into. Gives you that RealGM experience authenticity that allows you to customize your league in so many different ways. Find a group of committed owners to play for several years. Youth and Rookies are crucial, but be careful on overpaying for Youthful players. Luka Doncic is Universally one of the most popular early targeted first-round candidates to have on a team. At the age of 20, he may not return 1st round value this year in a startup Dynasty, but he may a lot sooner than later. Let’s hope he improves on his percentages. Dynasty format is for the more experienced owners that have done points and redrafts leagues previously.
