With only 4 teams there are going to be great players available at every position. I would have no problem cutting great players for the hottest ones on the WW cause there is always going to be great options. With a league this small it will probably come down to the team that is the most active or the luckiest.

In a 4 team league everyone is going to be studs. You are going to have to play matchups and micromanage and even then it will probably come down to luck.

Its an interesting league. Usually whenever I see small leagues like 8 or 7 man teams, it always strikes me as a waste because each team is so loaded and you don't really gain much.

But a 4 team league might be more challenging than a 10-12 team league because you have to micromanage so much. Interesting format.

I will say that 4 team leagues are rare and probably won't help you much next year when you want to join more traditional leagues. If I were you and your buddies, I would try to find some more players, or join a public league for this year just to get a better feel.
