We don't have the stats from the ESPN year 2015, but MFL tracks stuff otherwise: http://www64.myfantasyleague.com/2017/options?L=79286&O=156 and yes, 1017 has busted the high score on there. Bear in mind it's not apples:apples, because we're starting an additional player every week.

Bravo Ash... 5 out of 12 teams have $32 or less to bid on OBJ. Well done, I cant even be mad. That's a great move. That being said, I'm going to be bundling players and picks to grab some higher-priced big names this year. If anyone is going to drop another big name like this, please let me know first! Edit: Ash did you actually mean to drop OBJ? Or did you mean to IR him? That screen allows you to drop instead of IR which is what you did.

My bad. Just hope Vecna doesn't notice he has $70 and plenty of cap space! I am not sure OBJ will go for less than the $58 he was currently at.

Speaking of which -- trading FAAB; should it be allowed? I'm in a dynasty league where you can trade it, makes things interesting because you can value it relative to picks, and I believe it's possible natively in MFL.

I hadn't considered it. Huh. I'll have to think about the ramifications. I assume FAAB would either drop in value as the season progresses (because some owners don't need their remainder for whatever reason and thus can trade it away cheaply) or rise in value (because some owners run out and then need more in order to bid on Odell Beckham, Jr.) but then, some owners never seem to trade, while others do so very frequently. As an aside, and I don't want to be an rear end about it, but: Leperflesh posted:2. I just noticed that it seems Grid Iron Chefs traded a 4th round pick to Straight Bass Homie at some point, but I do not have recorded 2018 dues from the Chefs (that's Chen Kenichi). Chen Kenichi, I need cash from you, or I guess you could trade away that pick, but really our rules say this trade shouldn't have been permitted without you paying up. It's to ensure owners don't trade away picks they have no intention of using because they're going to quit over the summer. If you pay for a future year and then later have to quit, once we find a replacement to take over your team, the dues are fully refunded, so think of it more of a deposit than actually spent money. And we can revisit that rule if anyone objects to it.

We used our season FAAB for the free agent auction this year, right? I certainly think they should be linked, otherwise there's no incentive not to spend 100% of whatever budget you have, during the free agent auction, aside from your salary cap. Even on players you have no intention of keeping. One could make an argument that the total budget should be increased to account for this additional spending opportunity, though?

Spermy told me that in the past, the FAAB dollars have never been completely spent. Adding more pressure to dollars doesn't seem like a bad thing? We're on week 8 and only 4 teams have more than $50 left. With a $250 cap, $100 is 40% of your annual salary cap. That seems like plenty of FAAB.

Yeah that's fair, although as someone who is running low, I wouldn't have minded a bit more! I've had to stream some players, though, and it turns out I over-spent on Lamar Miller. Honestly though I think a lot of the values and portions we kind of randomly guessed at have turned out to work quite well.

I have been most active (21 adds between FA and waivers), and have exactly $50 left after overspending by ~$8 on Jones. FDS has 18, you have 11 total adds, SBH has 10, BOF 5, chefs 18, TM 12, LIW 9, MC 8, Ash 8, 1017 8, garb 4. Streaming actively should trade off with making fewer but high impact adds. If you spend $20 on adding 2 QBs and $10 on adding 2 backup RBs, that should hurt your ability to stream $1 replacement players.

Well I'm glad the winner isn't in my division but still, wow, huh? I guess maybe Swarmin Swedes trading him away would have been a better thing to do? If I'd had the spare FAAB dollars I'd have bid $50+ for him. And I'd have easily traded some significant value off my roster for him, too.

I wonder if this is an issue I will probably go ahead and do what the message says, but I want to fully understand what that thing does. Maybe it'll stop MFL from showing 2017 picks available to trade, which it is still doing for whatever reason? e. It was super straightforward, when I clicked through it just said we had no future picks to import and I should delete untraded 2017 picks, so I did that. I think it worked but let me know if anyone sees anything weird when looking at proposing/reviewing/accepting/rejecting pick trades.

I figured Smith was a safer play than Watson this week, and boy howdy was I wrong. Also I have no idea why Denver decided to completely avoid Terrence Mitchell and go after throwing picks to the veterans, but I guess that's what happened because Mitchell didn't get so much as a single assist. The amazing thing is that going 4-4 still only puts me one game behind the division leaders. It's been a weird year so far.

We're going to update our rules.quote:3.2.1 Players who are designated as Out (officially, by the NFL, as reflected in MFL's status designations) or on the NFL Injured Reserve list may be placed into one of a team’s two Injured Reserve slots. The software will enforce this restriction. Not naming any names Brick Squad but someone Brick Squad was in an IR violation during waivers. Our rules currently say that no roster changes can happen when you Brick Squad are on an IR violation. But clearly the software does not know about this. So we're just going to change the wording to something like "Waivers will process normally, but you Brick Squad cannot make lineup or other roster changes until you fix your poo poo." Not a huge deal this time since no one bid on the player Brick Squad got, but it's something that could be argued against (successfully in my opinon) if two owners bid on the same player and one is in an IR violation.

Spermy Smurf posted:We gotta fix the taxi squad rules. Can we talk about taxi squad rules (for updating them in '18)? Here are the two things I'd like to see: 1) Enabling 'holding' players on taxi squad after rookie year (can't be added to TS, but could still be held for 1-2 additional years. May need to expand TS to make this work, but may be fine keeping it at 3 and making people choose) 2) Stealing players has a cost to the stealer.

I got an error message about the violation yesterday when I went to put a claim in for Saturday. Is there a way to see when his status was changed and whether that was before or after waivers processed? Pretty sure he was still "Out" when I put that claim in. I cut him yesterday anyways.

That's why I dropped him. He's out on gameday, then immediately (Monday morning) questionable for the entire week until next gameday. It's not a big deal, no harm done, I was just messing around by calling you out on it. Rules will be updated for next week.

Yeah I think what's going on here is that MFL sucks. I mean it's amazing, right? The sheer amount of functionality delivered is amazing. But once again, MFL does not give us the capability of warning the owner as soon as an IR violation starts happening. You can see the violation in the UI if you happen to look at your roster, and it will tell you when you create an add/drop if you're in IR violation, but it does not warn you if you create an add/drop, and then before it gets processed, a player on IR stops being eligible. The other aspect here is the NFL loving us. It's stupid as gently caress that teams can flip-flop between Questionable and Out on a weekly basis, just to try and psych out their upcoming matches or some poo poo like that. Come on, why aren't they thinking about the fantasy football implications??? To answer your question, Stevie Lee, I'm not aware of a way to see in MFL when a player's status changes. I do believe that the NFL has specific windows for when teams are supposed to report player status, but those seem to be pretty broad; a player can probably be declared Out at any time, but a player declared Questionable can practice in full all week and be a game-time decision and then get set to Out like one hour before gametime? The team has to report their eligible-to-play players at some point before the game, and Out players don't count towards that list, but I'm not sure exactly when or how MFL consumes that information programmatically. All of this is just background, though. As a league, we need to make sure nobody exploits poor MFL behavior by intentionally leaving a Questionable player on IR in order to have a free bench slot for waivers, waiting until after waivers to see whether or not they got X Y or Z player, and then deciding after that whom to drop in order to promote a Q player off of IR. At the same time, we need to make sure we don't punish owners for not checking their roster constantly to see if anyone on IR became ineligible just before waivers process or something. Like, it should be OK to put in your waivers on Tuesday morning and not need to triple-check Tuesday night just in case the Vikings updated Bradford to Questionable during the last few hours. So I think Spermy's right in that our league rules need to address the situation. As-written, our rules say MFL enforces this, and clearly MFL is not enforcing it adequately. But I also think we need to not be excessively punitive when an owner isn't trying to get away with something. At the very least, we should specify whether it's OK to leave an IR violation in place over the course of several days as long as you do not attempt to make a roster move or set a lineup. Because MFL totally lets you do that. This is what we have:  There's nothing here that lets us enforce a strict "you can't do waivers if you're in IR violation" programmatically.

OH there is this: You can set it from For Owners>Franchise Setup>Contact Info It miiiight mean you get emails whenever any player on your roster's injury status is updated in MFL, or it might mean when the NFL updates it and it gets reported on a news feed? Not 100% sure but if you don't mind getting (even more) email spam from MFL, maybe it'll help owners stay in IR compliance.
