This IR is killing me.

My dudes are Questionable all week. Then game day about 30 minutes before kickoff ESPN finally updates them to Out. Then the next day they will be Q again so I can't put them on my IR.

Frick.

Yeah well, I mean, that's annoying... but we originally only intended the IR slots for dudes who are actually on the Injured Reserve. So any ability to just stick Out dudes temporarily on the IR is an unanticipated bonus.

How does this work with salary cap management? Seems like an exploitable thing rather than a bonus.

Guys on the IR cost half their salary to your cap, basically. But, we did discuss this and actually change the rules to be aligned with the functionality. So having someone who is Out during a week, so you can stick them on IR, gets you a roster slot you could for example fill with a temporary grab in the Saturday auction and then dump after their game when your Out guy goes back to Questionable or whatever.

Provided they're listed as Out by Saturday. Which is common for some types of injury, but a lot of teams wait till the last minute to make those decisions, and in those cases, being able to stick someone on an IR slot Sunday morning is useless... it's too late to complete a waiver operation and trades take 24 hours.

So instead of dropping a guy for a pickup on Tuesday/friday night when I'm putting in bids for guys, I can just move an Out player to IR and pick up my waiver pickup with the same salary cap hit as a guy on IR?

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

Yeah that should work? I mean, it frees up a bench slot, and guys on IR cost half their salary to your cap. So if you have a guy who costs (say) $6, you could put him on IR to free up $3 worth of cap, and then put in a $3 bid for your temporary dude. If you win him, then he takes up that $3 of cap space you freed up. (This still costs you $3 of your $100/year FAAB budget of course.)

Just be aware that the instant a player is no longer qualified to be on your IR, ESPN will prevent you from making any roster changes including moving guys between bench and starter until you get that guy off your IR.

So let's say a guy doesn't play on Sunday, he's Out, until ESPN decides to update his entry to show him Questionable for next week. If ESPN does that (say) Sunday evening, then you won't be able to change your roster for the Monday game until you get that guy off IR.

Hey Finkle, gently caress you. I legit don't have another WR on my team that isn't injured to put in the slot. I wanted Hankerson. Now I have to get fricken Heyward-Bey with a backup QB throwing at him.

:argh:

Alternatively: Someone trade me a WR before saturdays waivers go through.

May 17, 2007

Haha wow, that's quite a waiver report this morning.

I'm all aboard the Charles Sims train! I had to pay, but I feel really good about my bid, given how many of you also bid for him. Sorry Spermy, I'm pretty tight at WR too... unless you'd like to trade something for Crabtree or Bowe.

I added a "Salary Caps" tab to the spreadsheet. It just references the cells at the bottom of each team's sheet, but it provides a convenient place to look at all of the current cap space... and for me to copy/paste it here.

pre:
Team			Current total salary		Current salary cap space
First Down Syndrome	$204.00				$46.00
Who Da Titoons?		$219.50				$30.50
Percy Riot		$160.00				$90.00

1017 BRICK SQUAD	$161.00				$89.00
Placeholder Team Name	$191.00				$59.00

When do trades go through?

Do they only go 2x a week like waivers? Same dates/times as waivers?

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

Trades take 24 hours. I believe you cannot trade a player who is already locked, too, but I haven't tested that theory. Otherwise, there's no restrictions.

The 24 hours is a review period, during which a commissioner can veto the trade. We could actually eliminate that window if it's a problem, but I thought just for safety's sake it'd be a good idea to have it there, because it lets someone who fucks up a trade and makes a mistake to plead their case, before it goes through.

By the same token, though, if you are making a last-second trade, get a hold of a commissioner and as long as the trade is kosher, any of us can approve the trade immediately. I think. Again I haven't tested that, but that's my understanding of how the functions on ESPN work.

Roger that. I just didn't want to make a trade and then have waiver go through for Bey and then I don't need 2 WRs.

I'll need to have the trade approved quickly after waivers go through on saturday, provided I can find someone and agree on a trade.

CJ Spiller, Alfred Morris, Clowney, Clinton-Dix, Burnett... Anyone have any interest in them? Looking for a WR in the 7-8 points range. I just need to get through 3 weeks till Adams is back.

Hm, I might not have one who fits the bill. I have some young longer term plays who aren't really producing (Sammy Watkins, Michael Floyd, Charles Johnson) and some guys scoring pretty well this year (Fitz, Marshall, V. Jackson).

I could move one of the latter three, but probably want more than a bench player.

You're ahead by 27 points, and you still have Ladarius Green to play, vs. my Bell, Gates, and Stephon Tuitt. I honestly don't expect to win. It's possible, if Bell hands in a big game of course, but it's not a given. This is Gates' first game back, so he could be rusty, and Tuitt is a defensive end whose range so far this season is 0.8 points to 21 points so it's a total crapshoot with a guy like that.

Matt Ryan totally hosed me this week. I think I may have to start Dalton now. Which seems stupid... starting Dalton vs. buffalo instead of Ryan vs. New Orleans. But Dalton is legit scoring better than Ryan. Hell, for the season he's currently QB2!

In Dynasty, I don't think it's a fantastic idea to only have one QB. I would be willing to trade either QB, but it'd have to be for a significant upgrade to my team, and I'd need to somehow get a hold of a promising backup QB of some kind as well.
