Benjamin has a low as gently caress ceiling and can't catch a ball. Norman is shadowing him and will get in his head. If you take Green you're buying a lotto ticket that might pay this week. Go green if you want to take one.

Inspector_666 posted:Also I am v worried about Reed.  I am playing the #1 seed after winning my first round matchup (thanks to my opponent benching Powell) and he's 8th in scoring this year but first in points against by over 100 so I'm expecting him to put up about 160 points on me. In my other league the playoffs start this week (only four teams get in) and I'm projected to lose by 30 so hopefully the same thing works in my favor in that league.

Made 2/3 playoffs. One is a two-weeker where my RB duo of DJ/Zeke fell on its face this week. May not pull out of that one. The other the playoffs start this week, I'm #1 seed going against the #4 seed who is 2nd in Points For (to my 1st) so we'll see. eta: That #1 seed team has Bell on it, and ESPN projected him for 30 points this week. THIRTY! It's PPR, but still. Holy poo poo!

Drama in my league. So a few weeks ago I was sitting with two people in my bar league before TNF and girl #1 (rookie/then Sacko) said a guy wanted her Edelman and he suggested they do some adding and dropping. I was like, whatever, and the other girl sitting there (girl 2) said she should do it. Neither girl 1 or he were in playoff contention. Right then she texted him and they did three add/drops within a few minutes.  Well, the rookie ended up beating girl #2 that week. Rookie was eliminated from Sacko chances and girl #2 fell to fifth seed (4 playoff slots). Last week I beat girl #2 to clinch third place and the other guy involved in the "trade" beat the 5 seed allowing 6 seed to move up and clinch the fourth playoff spot. We have a trade system but no one ever uses it and I doubt anyone would have vetoed but a few people are loving pissed and are calling for draft pick losses as penalties. I'm on the fence since I'm not sure the trading actually affected anything. Collusion? Crybabies?

Yeah, dropped players need to go into the waivers (unless the players were just added in order to be dropped in order to cause them to go into waivers...) And why didn't they just trade the players? Was it because your league doesn't support a three-way trade?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was past the deadline, the default is mid Nov or the trade not processing before Sunday possibly since the 1st was a thursday. Though there could be no trade deadline anyways.

So a few days ago, I dropped Kenneth Dixon before he goes off. My semi final opponent dropped Bilal Powell for Dixon. He's also the Matt Forte owner. I have a waiver claim in for Powell and I'm hoping I get him.

Can't drop players that played that day until midnight. It's only my second year in this league (and second year playing fantasy ever) and I don't know the history behind the decision but I hear the idea is to encourage people to be involved. If you are paying attention you might be first to drop a guy who just had a huge injury and/or pick up some stud's backup if he goes down. Most of the league comes into the bar for TNF so I think there will be a conference about penalties.

We had one trade all year last year and none this year. Aside from a few people it's super competitive.

Really? It's still 100% collusion to purposely exploit the rules in concert with other teams. The fact that the rules make collusion easier doesn't lessen that fact.

1) Neither team was in playoff contention 2) Girl #2 who lost the following weeks was in agreement with Girl #1 that she should do it. If she was unaware that this could affect her negatively (being, who appears to be, the only team really impacted w/r/t standings) that's her own fault. If she says something in hindsight instead of during the act, she losses credibility imo 3) Waiver rules are dumb with no checks to avoid it Seems like y'all hosed up and they just did a thing. If you don't like it, you need to fix the rules next year. I don't think they did anything explicitly wrong. Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Dec 15, 2016 |

I think what they did was collusion, but at a non-malicious level low enough that the proper punishment is to say "hey, don't do that kind of thing guys, it's not OK" and then move on.

It's collusion in the same way normal trading is collusion. They didn't break any rule. The league is broken, not thier actions. The trade deadline may have passed but the commish did not close all ways of swapping players. Maybe this will help them realize the value of waivers.

While I agree that they technically didn't break any rules, those aren't good faith transactions if there was a trade deadline in place and it already passed. So I agree with Leperflesh that the outcome should be "hey guys, that wasn't cool and here's why" and nothing more. And yes, for the love of god, implement a waiver system next season.

Keith Atherton posted:Thanks - I needed some outside opinions I just want to point out that "involvement" is pretty bad justification for having no waivers. In a typical system there are both waivers and free agency. It's win-win, you get waivers to allow everybody a chance to grab players as needed but outside of Wednesday it's an open system. If Shady is announced OUT on Saturday, free agency means that any team can instantly grab Gillislee just like your current system is set up. Waivers are partially there to level the playing field, however a big component as well is that they introduce competition for grabbing players at the start of each week or when they are dropped. Nobody is "less involved" because they can't grab a player immediately, they are every bit as involved when they put in their claim or bid for said player. If anything, there is more involvement because every team can bid if you're doing FAAB rather than just the first person who gets to the app. Waivers also prevent bullshit like add/drop collusion and limit the amount that certain teams get unfair advantages. I.E. My work blocks many fantasy sites, plus my office is under a parking structure so I get limited or zero cell reception. I can't reasonably make roster moves between 8am-5pm, so why should I miss out on players just because my involvement during those hours is out of my control? There are all sorts of situations like this that affect certain teams more than others. To me, it sounds like the commish or certain people pushed for no waivers because it gave them a distinct advantage at the time. I don't see any reason why it should stay that way, it is more fun and fair for everyone involved with free agency + auction waivers. Also, a trade deadline.

MacheteZombie posted:Shakes fist at MFL for listing Daniel Brown as a WR instead of TE. MFL's stated policy is that they list all players as what they were at the beginning of the season. But, commissioners have the power to modify that, and can change any player to a different position. Consequently, leagues hosted on MFL need a rule about when and how their commissioner should change a player's position. In my league we figured this out this year, and the new rule will be that any owner can challenge any player's position at any time; the source of truth is the NFL football team's own website. We had to do this for a IDP player this year who was listed as a linebacker but changed to defensive end. You can also make it possible for owners to swap a player between listed position and any custom positions you add for them. See: http://www64.myfantasyleague.com/2016/support?SEARCH=player+position Click the Ty Montgomery question for an explanation (basically, MFL's software can't handle dual positions, lol) e. Note that a player only earns points for the position they're set at. So if your league (say) gives different PPR for WRs vs RBs, an owner with Ty Montgomery that you've set to be allowed to be set as a RB will have to decide which position they want him at, and can only get the PPR value for the position they chose.
