Can I just clarify flea flicker settings with regards dynasty leagues?
- under edit keeper rules - when you select the number of keepers is this a maximum number?
- is it possible to make compulsory the number of keepers via the settings or can you only set a maximum?
- my understanding with flea flicker is that number of draft picks = roster sizes - keepers. So if I keep 22 out of 25 then I have 3 draft picks. But how does this work with regards trading future draft picks?
- in one of my leagues I co-commish we have keepers set to 22 and roster sizes of 25. When you go to team > picks why do 25 round picks appear for 2016? Is it because you can't set a minimum number of keepers so in theory a team could keep no players and have 25 picks in next year's draft therefore?
Keepers is a maximum number. There is no setting for a minimum number of keepers. Draft picks, both current and future, are based on your current number of keepers. Smart owners will reduce their number of keepers before and after a draft to take advantage and trade draft picks they know they will not use.
You are correct in that the number of picks a team gets is equal to the active roster max minus the number of keepers set. There is currently no option to cap the number of rounds in a draft, though there are workarounds.
Thanks Rangerdave. When you say 'Smart owners will reduce their number of keepers before and after a draft to take advantage and trade draft picks they know they will not use.' Does that mean you can only trade draft picks if you haven't set them as keepers? So if you plan to keep 25 out 25 you can't trade any picks? But if you reduce your keepers to 23 you can trade your top two daft picks knowing that you won't need them. Then once you've traded them increase the keepers back to 25?
What if you trade and fill your last spot with a player. The last pick you had for that draft goes unused. However, what if a trade comes up before that last pick and you trade a player for a future pick, will the last pick you had come back to you?

That would be a way to do that, yes. At the end of the day, commissioners are in control and have their own rules regarding how owners would do that.
