What's your fantasy preference? Last year was my first to play in a fantasy league, I loved it and kicked myself for not having played before. I was actualy in two head-to-head leagues. One league featured 5 stat categories and the other had, I believe 9. I prefered the 5 stat game more than the 9 stat because I felt more in control of my team. I was able to make changes to stay competitive even when Artest and Jackson were both suspended. Whereas with the 9, every trade to improve in one category killed me in another thereby nullifying the benefits of the trade. I also played in a baseball roto leage this summer and it sucked big ones (it would have sucked small ones too I'm sure). That said, I'm off roto, could be baseball or it could be the roto format I'm not sure which is to blame for the bad taste in my mouth, but I'm not really interested in roto for basketball. What I have noticed is that most fantasy leagues use more than even 9 stat categories. Since I'm new to the fantasy play could you tell me why most like so many stat categories? What am I missing?
