sorry for the ass beating miguel....

2 in a row now...need next week

Noticed there will only be 4 playoff teams. How is that determined? Top 2 from each division or top 4 teams based on record and scoring regardless of division?

top 2 from each division

OK, thanks.

My RB's are just killing me now. Can't get any production. And now Sproles has an injured knee. You guys are killing me on the waiver wire, too. I have put in claims each week but keep missing out to others since my priority was so low. So maybe starting to lose these games will help me get some guys on the roster who can contribute.

I am shocked I was able to get > 100 points yesterday.

Glad to lose to WilforkUup as it means that many Patriot players had an awesome FF game.

But I have to admit, I am a little sad at finding myself the stupidest person in the room.

 

[dales804]

So if there's any RB you guys want to see get injured or suspended, let me know and I'll pick him up. Seems when I have someone, they become cursed.

I can't even field 2 starting RBs right now.

So what trick is RTB pulling with these constant adds and drops of the same player every day? I'm assuming it has something to do with changing certain players status from FA's to WA?

You're exaggerating with the constant and every day comments. If a player is added and dropped in the same 24 hour span it doesn't change their free agency status. You should know that before accusing me of some bush league move like that.

I picked up Gray when I found out he'd be on the 53, then thought it would be silly to have him locked in on my team without knowing if he'd even play and cut him. When I found out he'd be active, I added him again. I should have remembered JMD is the OC and realized they won't run the ball anyway.

Only 4 teams make the playoffs in this league, my team is/was very average, trying to get better before I'm out of the playoff picture so I make a lot of moves, sometimes I change my mind, sometimes I add a player then see another I'd rather have and cut the first one. No funny business going on. When I'm out of the playoff picture, I promise I'll make a lot less moves, Hope you're OK with that.

Its not about me being okay with anything, it was more about understanding and educating myself about what was going on.

Every day is an exaggeration, but every week you sign someone and drop him within an hour or so, sometimes almost immediately. There has been enough of a pattern to it that I wanted to know what it meant. If its second-guessing yourself, I totally get that

EDIT: More than anything I thought you were doing something pro and like I said, wanted to understand it.

If I was doing that, it would be considered Illegal or unethical (or whatever term term applies to fantasy football) at the very least, frowned upon. Like I said, it would be a bush league move. Mostly second guessing myself mixed in with possibly a very mild form of OCD, mostly just trying to improve my very average team.

Jonas Gray is a good example, picking up a player like him you're taking a wild shot in the dark - maybe he'll run the ball 20 times.... or more likely, he won't play at all. You're taking a gamble on someone who could payoff big or be a complete dud. I should have listened to the part of my brain that said picking him up is a very dumb move and left him a free agent but the part of my brain that said maybe he'll run it 20 times unfortunately won out. It's mostly that. Now I'm stuck with him, that roster spot is locked until Tuesday.

I apologize for sounding like I was accusing you of something unethical or bush-league. That was not my intention.

No problem.

Can someone tell me why a trade agreed to on Thursday will take until Tuesday to process? Even with a two day review period, it doesn't make sense. I still need to add a TE now despite just trading for one?

i tried to put it through twice now...it is giving me error saying "player is locked from roster move" IDK what player though..it won't tell me what player in error message

 

[Armchair Quarterback]

I couldn't figure it out either, seeing that none of the involved players played on Thursday. After reading your post, however, I looked at his roster and I'd bet that he has Ridley as the player that would be conditionally dropped, since it's a 2 for 1 and he has to drop someone. That would explain it.

 

[Armchair Quarterback]

If that's it, he'd either have to choose someone else, or I'd guess we'd have to wait. Not sure if league manager tools will allow you to drop the player. I've already picked up a TE, so It's not the end of the world if it doesn't go through, although I'd obviously prefer it did but thanks for trying.

 

[Armchair Quarterback]

Just checked and league manager tools allow you to drop a locked player, so if it's the conditional drop holding it up, the LM should be able to do it.

so who am i dropping? Ridley?

His team? Which team name are you again....I work tomorrow AM so won't have a chance unless i do it within the next hour

Good point, I just assumed Ridley was blocking the trade from happening but he also has Lafell who played Thursday. No point in having Ridley on the team now but if you can't see who the conditional drop is (and he hasn't told you) you probably shouldn't be dropping anyone.

Maybe try:
League Manager Tools - Roster Tools - Edit Rosters.
It says "Transactions submitted via the LM Moves service bypass waiver settings and do not count against any acquisition limits." It might go through that way, although he'd still have to cut a player. This is getting complicated.

Well i just dumped Ridley on his team since done for year. But then trade went away..so it would have to be resubmitted it looks like...

what's your team name..i can do a trade manually as LM and who were the players in volved..NVM i can find it
