I still don't get the Keuchly hate. Dude is 24 and will pull in 220-230 points per year for me. You had no problem paying double that for Lamar Miller who won't put up that many points. :shrug:

Also I look at my team now and think I must have been far drunker than I thought. But bidding on guys is just so much fun I couldn't stop myself :(


About IR: If a guy is suspended can I throw him on there? Is it an "If ESPN will let me I am allowed to do it" sort of thing?


Edit: Oh god I want to get on the Clowney train so loving hard but I expect him to get a dozen snaps at most on Sunday.

what the gently caress was i doing last night

Entertaining everyone!

Also: I have to drop a dude in order to process waivers to get a dude to put on my IR. Right? Then pick up the dude I dropped again to fill my bench slot?

Is there a way to grab a dude off waivers direct to the IR slot? Because otherwise I'm double-paying for dudes that I already bought in the draft right?



Edit: I say dude a lot. Deal with it.

ANSWER THE QUESTION BECAUSE I HAVE $99 MONEY AND NO BENJI.

but if I have to drop a dude, pick up Benji, then pick up the guy I dropped... then I only have $93 for Kelvin.

Honestly I'm not sure how ESPN handles it. By league rules, you are permitted to pick a guy up directly to Injured Reserve, but I don't know if ESPN actually allows that. We may have to experiment to find out, because the documentation is nonexistent.

This does not work. I have to drop someone from my bench to do it. I haven't yet because I'm unsure what the process was/will be. And then I have to re-draft the guy I just had for a few bucks.


So what do we do? Changing the league rules to not allow it would be a lot easier since ESPN is already coded that way.

ESPN does not allow you to put SSPD players on the IR. Only O and designated IR players can go there which is how it should (and does) work in my opinion.

I'd be cool with just updating our rules to say "Need a free slot to pick up any player" since that's how ESPN is coded.

I accidentally joined a real league instead of a mock draft on espn and I have 81pts with 5 guys left.

I will be lucky to get 81 in this league.

But on a serious note:

He couldn't have placed both of those bids if the salary cap tied into ESPN's app. I'd probably say roll the bids back for them both. And then we have a 3-way tie for $2 for whoever the TE is.


Those 3 can blind-bid in an email to Leper or something in order to see who is allowed to pick him up.


Also on that note: If we do the above and Team McLean wins the bid for the TE the what can we do about the trade he and I just made? Roll it back since he never would have been looking desperately for a TE? Cancel it? Let it go through since we did actually hit ACCEPT to the thing?

The three-way tie would be resolved by the priorities list as normal, which if I'm reading the auction report correctly, would mean he'd go to McLean.. I'm not sure what to do about that trade either...

That makes way more sense.

I didnt realize we could edit everyones budget numbers like that. Thats a great idea.


Then we would have to keep track of (original 100 budget) minus (what was spent so far) and then if that was bigger than your salary cap we would need to keep that number somewhere so we dont lose it if/when you add or drop people.

Spreadsheet whiz can probably do that easily. If the spreadsheet spits out the numbers needed I would be willing to edit everyones faab budget on a twice or thrice weekly basis.

Spermy Smurf
Jul 2, 2004
We just add 10$. That would help by allowing you to bid $10 more than cap as long as your dropped player leaves you even.

Crappy scenario: cap space of 10 left, bid up to 20, but the guy dropped has to be a 10$. Dropping a 5$ guy instead, then only bid to 15$. Need more cash for a 3-man drop, just ask and someone will bump it up soon.

Still requires some thinking and spreadsheet checking, but might remind people cap space exists.

Just an idea.

Spermy Smurf
Jul 2, 2004
The only issue with adjusting the FAAB budget is that it doesn't take into account who you are dropping.

If you are dropping a guy worth $10 on your roster, you should be able to bid with that $10 in mind.

If we don't think of a way around that, then your max bid would strictly be "how much cap space do I have left" which isn't the correct amount. How does your current league tackle this? I agree we need to get this implemented ASAP, just want to do it right and allow people to get to their cap.



The edit at 1:58 was me I believe. I didn't actually edit anything, but I did try to do a search on the document and hosed up my CTRL+F, so had to delete the F that I typed into the doc.

Edit: No, it wasnt me at 1:58. My edits only become suggestions. Unsure what that edit was.

well that sucks I guess but whatever. So we are NOT updating FAAB on the ESPN side?


How does your other league handle the dropped players cap space?

Just tell us how and if its brilliant or we can make it work we will 100% do it ASAP. Implementing crap is not something we want to do, so trying to talk it out but the only idea put forward so far is my 'add 10$ to the number' isnt generating much chatter.

We are supposed to be trash talking here too so:

^^^ I don't see it. I'm First Down Syndrome.

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.
