Keeping Karlsson: Because it’s the KKUPFL

2020-11-09
On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian announce Season 6 of the Keeping Karlsson Ultimate Patron Fantasy League!
We kick off this week’s show with an exclusive interview with the reigning undisputed(?) KKUPFL Ultimate Champion, Max, who shares his keys to winning Season 5 and imparts some wisdom and advice for those who want to follow in his footsteps.
After that, we share all the details on KKUPFL Season 6. We go deep into how to build a fantasy league– points vs categories, H2H vs roto, trading and free agency, draft types, transaction limits, point weightings, keep managers active– and explain all the choices we’ve made (and not made) along the way in building the KKUPFL. We also unveil brand new Season 6 features like the Tier 1 Fast-Track and FAB trading, and wonder aloud if benches should be banished.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins
Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
