Why Yearly Fantasy Scout

One reason why a reform like Yearly Fantasy Scout would be good.

In Fantasy Scout there probably must be freedom in picking players, because the game lasts so long (forever actually) that nobody could consistently respect deadlines.

Scoring points too is something that, in some sense, has not a precise date, because the development of players is a continuous process.

But there are moments when points are scored and, more generally, comparisons between players can be made (e.g. when you have data about their club football performances, or when the national team managers call up the squads). In these moments, it's better if a straight computation - i.e. one based on a sum or a 1 vs. 1 comparison, not on an average - can be done.

Yearly Fantasy Scout

A reform for Fantasy Scout.

Each year, a scout can pick up to 10 players.

There is a separate scout ranking for each year of pick. The score of a scout is the sum of the points earned by the players he picked in that year.

Then there is a meta-ranking based on the rankings of each year. This meta-ranking is based on: most 1st places; as a tie-breaker, most 2nd places; as a tie-breaker, most 3rd places; and so on.
