Scoring by position
League managers can set how many points are awarded per specific scoring category. This allows you to have a TE-premium league (where receptions are worth more for tight ends than they are for other positions), as one example.
Field goals by yards (coming soon)
League managers can set the points for a FG made, missed or attempted based on the yardage, not just rely on the ranges provided in the standard game.
Bonus wins
Because the goal is to score the most points each week, this option awards a win for finishing in the top half of points scored in your league in each week. Go 1-1 instead of 0-1 if you put up a ton of points but had the misfortune of facing a team that outscored you that week.
Keepers by round
Allows your league to determine the specific pick a player should be kept at for your upcoming draft.
Auto teams
This is a remedy for leagues with managers who have become inactive, as you can now set them to «Auto.» Their roster will be updated and players added and dropped by an AI-driven team manager. You cannot trade with an auto team, though. The league manager has the ability to toggle this option on and off at any time.
