Article IV- Salary Cap Structure
« on: September 11, 2015, 02:29:49 PM »
Section A- Basis
Item AIV A-1.0
Salary caps are different for each team based on their market, historic payrolls, and club performance.  GMs must ensure that their team stays under the year's salary cap.  As of a ruling on June 16th, 2011, GMs must also ensure that their team stays under future salary caps with a margin that gives them room equal to the minimum of 30% of the cap and $20m.  The rule has been dubbed the 2010 Angels rule as is prevents GMs from financially ruining future years with cash exchanges.  Example: The year is 2011 and the Pirates’ cap in 2013 is expected to be $62m.  The 30% buffer allows the team to have a projected salary based on current contracts of $80.6m in 2013.

In 2011, the league's variable salary cup structure switched from a tier-based to a formula that is based on averages of team financial numbers from 2007-2009.  It is designed to take into account current market position, winning, and real life economic fluctuations.  This new system fixed two problems that exist in the previous structure: huge swings in cap year-to-year for mid-large market teams AND the lack of a tie to real life salaries over time.

Explanation of the formula can be found below.  As a GM, all you need to know is that you can spend freely without that affecting your cap position for future years.  The more you win over time, the higher your cap will eventually go.  The three-year average with a one-year delay prevents it from immediately happening, so the effects will be seen over several years rather than over one off-season.

Section B- Stand
Item AIV B-1.0
Real life payrolls + $20m are used.  The standings are based on the real life franchises before 2009 and the fantasy franchises for years after 2008.  A final standing of 8th place in a season would correlate with the real life payroll (+$20m) to determine the Stand value for that year.

Section C- Return
Item AIV C-1.0
The return is the ultimate formula in determining the cap for a year.  The new salary cap is 25% of the stand value plus 75% of the prior year's salary cap.  A three-year average of returns is then used two years down the line.  Therefore, the average returns between 2007 and 2009 would be used in calculating the 2011 cap.

Section D- Limitation of Return
Item AIV D-1.0
The return is bounded to be no more and no less than $20m or 20% of the prior year's salary cap.  This prevents huge fluctuation in salary caps year to year

Example
New York Mets Franchise GM Standing 2007-2009: 10th, 10th, 30th

10th highest salary in 2007: $93.5m
10th highest salary in 2008: $98.9m
30th highest salary in 2009: $21.8m

Mets Caps 2007-2009: $135.2m, $169.4m, $200m

Return07 = 75% Cap07 + 25% Stand07 = 0.75(135.2)+0.25(93.5) = 125

Return08 = 75% Cap08 + 25% Stand08 = 0.75(169.4)+0.25(98.9) = 152

Return09 = 75% Cap09 + 25% Stand09 = 0.75(200)+0.25(21.8) = 155.5

Average(Return07,Return08,Return09) = 144.2

The 2010 cap cannot be more than $20m or 20% away from the 2009 cap which would restrict it within a range of $180m - $220m.  The 2010 cap will therefore drop to $180m for the Mets.

  • Daddy: We are building something. In every sport. Non stop. Its what we do.
    May 28, 2024, 10:11:31 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Yup, sometimes people dont see the vision. Sometimes the vision Fricks up. You dont know till the chips are cashed in
    May 28, 2024, 10:12:50 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: I once traded a full draft class 1-7, an additional 1st, 3 offensive flyer players for what player you might ask?
    May 28, 2024, 10:13:27 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: WR Jalen Reagor lmaaooo  :rofl:
    May 28, 2024, 10:14:04 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: And won my first chip that same season. Reagor starting in the flex scoring 9 points
    May 28, 2024, 10:14:39 PM
  • jmntl82: How did the other team finish?
    May 28, 2024, 10:16:01 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: It was dallas. I think he missed the playoffs that year. Then used the draft picks on the 2021 class. Every pick was the 32nd pick (dont remembee what the other 1st became)
    May 28, 2024, 10:18:22 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Idk if anyone remembers the 2021 class but it was weak on offense outside or the top 10-15. I dont regret the deal just learned and move on. As long as you have assets, you can mold your build how you want. Picks are usually the most valuable asset because most gms want in on a draft.
    May 28, 2024, 10:19:34 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: The results of that draft class is here [link]
    May 28, 2024, 10:20:27 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Every 32 overall pick dallas makes in each round came from that trade
    May 28, 2024, 10:20:54 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: The 2024 and 2025 classes look much more promising than that one lol
    May 28, 2024, 10:22:06 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: 2021 draft class was my worst class as a NFL Live gm. my 2022 and 2023 were better
    May 28, 2024, 10:32:52 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: I think it was the worst for most of us. It was a bad class overall. The top was amazing tho
    May 28, 2024, 10:42:05 PM
  • jimw: Etienne is amazing. He was near the top of that draft lol
    May 28, 2024, 11:18:42 PM

    Yesterday at 08:37:26 PM
  • Brent: Well that brings back memories when I was on the ProFSL staff and paid.
    Yesterday at 08:58:08 PM
  • Daddy: ProFSL has to be established by having great product or at least different product. We had the same old members. "Get off my lawn" types wanting to run leagues that were identical to the others. If you want 100 of the same old guys never chatting and no guests on the site. We had how many years of that?
    Yesterday at 09:12:05 PM
  • Daddy: If running a league is so hard, How can i run 6 of them? At the same time.
    Yesterday at 09:14:11 PM
  • Daddy: No moderators, no leagues, no leagues no traffic, no traffic no staff, no staff no profsl.
    Yesterday at 09:15:25 PM
  • Daddy: Its not as easy to find moderators. And if you are a moderator to come up with start up league concepts and do all that manual work. It takes a rare breed.

  • Daddy: LM is the most thankless and simultaneously the most selfless thing anyone can do in this space. Thats why people dont do it.
    Yesterday at 09:19:05 PM
  • Daddy: So... Im training more of them. Powerhouse Baseball is an example of that. There are more leagues coming.
