Sooo, if you look at today's waivers, you'll see this entry at the bottom for Concord Concordes:quote:Add Bridgewater, Teddy MIN QB for $1.00 and drop Griffin III, Robert CLE QB (Error - Transaction Would Create An Invalid Roster For Concord Concordes Apparently MFL isn't able to notice that a player you're adding is on IR and swap it with another player already on IR. Our league rules (8.4.1.1) allow this, although they do say you have to have a bench slot open. So we have a choice: -Modify the league rules to allow it without a bench slot open, and have commissioners manually perform this kind of transaction -Stick with the status quo The problem with the first option is if multiple owners submit bids on the same player, and the owner with the higher bid (or in the case of ties, higher priority) needs a manual transaction. Instead, MFL will disallow the transaction automatically, and then the next owner with a valid bid would get that player... potentially dropping another player to get him, etc. A commissioner would have to clean all that up, potentially dealing with a cascade of conditional transactions down the line to fix it. I think this might be too much to deal with. On the other hand I find it very annoying to have to clear a regular roster slot just to trade guys on IR (or the taxi squad). Any comments or opinions?

Hey guys, sorry for being a total absentee shitbag, just got back from an unanticipated stint in the woods without internet since July. I hope my roster of complete all-stars is in someone's caring, loving hands. This is a good league with good people running things.

Leperflesh posted:Yeah, the waiver form does not give you the option of pulling a guy directly to IR or taxi, so you'll need a bench slot to do it. A commissioner can directly add a player to a roster anywhere, but there's no practical way to leverage that along with blind bidding waivers, because of multiple bids, etc. 3 pages back, just after the draft. We cant do it, so gotta free up bench spot is what was decided. I tried to do it the day after the draft and had to play musical slots by pushing shepard to the Taxi, then back onto bench.

Bids on Eddie Lacy: 3 12 15 21 22 25 26 Even my bid of 21 was too high I think. Dude just isnt producing.

Given the state of the waiver wire for running backs, and the fact many of us are stashing RB3 and RB4s, Lacy as an RB1 is well worth it. I bid as much as I felt I could fit under my cap and it looks like it was just barely enough. I saw the Green Bay game on Sunday night and Lacy was trucking dudes before he went out with a minor ankle issue. Starks seems to be pretty unproductive too, so I think GB's struggling with OL issues more than with Lacy being permanently bad now. And with Bell and Miller already on my roster, having Lacy as a flex option for good matchups - or to start over Lamar if he doesn't start producing better - seems like a good way to go for me. Especially with Sims on IR. And speaking of all of that: can I interest anyone in a Travaris Cadet? His salary is just two dollars!

I bid as much as I felt I could fit under my cap and it looks like it was just barely enough. I was the 22 and thought about going as high as 30, but I could not justify it considering his action so far and next year's cap implications. 26 is never bad for a starting bellcow-ish RB that has been steamrolling when he gets the rock, but he needs to actually GET THE ROCK. Also considering I got $30 on IR right now I was unsure of just who I would need to trim looking ahead for draft cap space if I had him rostered at 30. A good pickup - one that I wanted but could not afford.

Yeah 26 is a really unfortunate amount, too, because he'll go to 29 next year due to rounding up the 60 cents. Still, I think it's clear Lacy is going to keep his RB1 position in Green Bay, and Green Bay is going to still be a good team for a while. I have serious cap space problems too. I'll only be over by a couple bucks if/when I take Sims off IR, though, and I think I can get that space without too much trouble. And I'd have to drop someone to bring up a taxi or IR dude anyway. But I'm really jealous of the owners who have mega-cheap RB1s on their rosters, that's for sure. David Johnson is only costing Ash Ketchum $8 and that's just ridiculous, he's going to be cheaply ownable for a decade or more. As for next year, I doubt Lamar Miller is gonna be justifiable at $52 salary so that is likely where my cap space is coming from. Fallout from my overbid on him in our startup draft. Sigh.

Yeah, not bidding 30 on Lacy is probably going to be one of those things I regret not doing. Not like there is anything else to spend my money and cap space on... waiver wire is pretty grim.

We can manually change the position of players via commish control panel. Clowney is a DE now on texans depth chart, so we gotta change him and one other guy whose name I forget.

Spermy Smurf posted:We can manually change the position of players via commish control panel. OK on Clowney, you'll have to tell us the one other guy of course. I just submitted a trouble ticket to MFL so they can change him officially. I just set Clowney to DE for our league. I noticed there's a checkbox (which I didn't check) that would allow owners to switch the player back and forth between their MFL-official position, and the custom position I set. That seems very exploitable unless the player genuinely plays both positions (like Terell Pryor for example, who isn't starting at QB yet but if he did, should he legit be slottable into WR or QB at will? I think probably not). I notice that rotoworld hasn't picked up the position change yet; NFL.com (the fantasy football part) still shows him as a linebacker, too.

Ken from MFL app said:quote:That may happen automatically but it has to start at the stats company that MFL uses, I think. You could try asking MFL support about it at Help>Support from your league's website. Brandon Graham is the other. Listed as LB on MFL but plays DE and is DE on Eagles depth chart. And no, I have no idea why I emailed the guy that made MFL Platinum asking this. I just realized I did that, now I owe him an apology.

MFL support posted:--- Reply --- So, yeah, they use Rotoworld (which hasn't updated yet) and even then they don't change players midseason, generally. So whatever, if you own or are interested in a player whose classification seems to be wrong, just speak up and we'll verify and then fix it. Brandon Graham is currently classified as a defensive end in our league, so I haven't changed anything.

2 Questions about stealing from other players Taxi Squads: 1) Do I have to have the cap and roster space available before I declare the steal? 2) Do I have to start the player I steal or can they go to my bench? Can I send them directly to my own taxi squad? Probably no to the taxi squad part but I don't see it actually in the rules.

1. No, but you'll need to create it before the player lands on your team, which happens if they don't block the steal for 72 hours (or post that they won't try to block the steal). 2. Uh gently caress this should have been in the rules. But the intent is that the stealing team has to start that player that week. If the steal is blocked or successful, either way, that player gets started and will never be taxi squad eligible again. The intent here is that taxi squads are for stashing future prospects, not playable-right-now players. If someone else has stashed a guy that is startable, then someone in the league will want to start them, and that owner can initiate a steal. The intent is not to steal a guy that the other owner could then immediately steal right back, or steal a guy that you will just bench (non-taxi bench) in order to prevent him from being stealable right back, but you're not willing to start. Since it's not in the rules, I'd like the other commissioners to weigh in before I add that to the rules.

"If you steal them, you have to start them" because we've gone over this before. The only way to prevent a steal is to start the player yourself.

That's what I thought tbh, I just wanted to be sure since I'm not searching back through the thread and it wasn't in the rules doc.
