16 . 12 Charvik --- Mario Balotelli --- FWD Milan

17 . xx Charvik --- Karim Benzema --- FWD Real Madrid

Dropping Mario Balotelli off my speculative picks (watch him go to Stoke now...)

You guys know I was just kidding with this drop, right? right?

 

[JMon348]

Just so I am clear, waivers run on Thursday, at 6:00ish et (#eastcoastbias), after that it FCFS, and that only players who are in the fantrax database are eligible to be picked up.

Would like clarification as well.

I don't think you can keep them past the start of the season anyway.

Yes you can. That's the benefit of drafting them. After the draft, you can only add guys that are in the database. We held Benzema forever last year. In fact, we renamed one of our starting spots after him in his memory.

Do you have to keep the roster spot open?

Yes, you have to play with < 17 if you're holding speculative picks. If you add somebody, you have to drop somebody e.g. Charvik with Balotelli

We held Benzema forever last year.

:sigh: That's a large Frenchman who knew how to spoon.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Any more rules we are going to change? How about shifting to 30 minutes before game time...

 

[The Gator]

So if he's added at 6:01, after waivers run, he'll be a FA before games this weekend?COME ON FANTRAX

 

[Eephus]

None of these are changes as returning owners can attest to. The only change is the lack of placeholders because Fantrax cut down their database this season.

So far, the only speculative pick dropped was Charvik's pick of Balotelli. Jonessed add of Steven Fletcher was a free because he never made a round 17 pick.

I dropped - Juan Quintero last week

Naismith is a good pickup after Barkley's death

Fcfs is not working

 

[gianmarco]

Fcfs is not working

Yep. I had been trying as well and just realized it's because waivers aren't set to run until next week on Aug 28th for some reason.

 

[Eephus]

Try again at the bottom of the hour

 

[The Gator]

GG eeph

 

[gianmarco]

Try again at the bottom of the hour

What time is that?

Also, the WW order is wrong as it's now based on standings. The setting to have it on reverse standings probably needs to be changed.

i blame the 1 hour time limit. fix that and you fix everything imo

 

[Eephus]

Take three

There's going to be another waivers run this week only at 8PM EDT. FCFS should open up immediately after that and remain in place until the first game kickoff on Saturday (excluding new adds to the database).

I honestly have no idea why the waivers priority keeps resetting because the league options are identical to last year.

I think you have to change this:

Waiver Wire

• Priority order: Reverse Order of Standings (serpentine)

Even though it's the same as last year, it might be a different type of setting and why it keeps resetting. Just change that so it's strictly rotating.

just an FYI - waivers are set to run next Thursday at 8:00 - not tonight....

Looks like you will have to manually set each week then.

A task I would gladly undertake, in exchange for #30minutes....

Let's start an ice bucket challenge for #30minutes.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Just for note keeping, in case the waiver wire has to be manually re-set - I used the first waiver claim (6th position) on Rojo tonight, so I move to the back of the bus.

 

[Eephus]

I manually ran waivers so everything is right with the world.

Try random and see what it does.

That's what I was going to suggest as well. Because below that rule it states it will be rotating, that will hopefully keep it as rotating and not keep resetting on standings.

So we'll always be in that spot every week?

As people make waiver claims, they drop to the back of the line

I think I understand this league's waiver wire worse than Coach Lasso understands relegation

Looks that way.

 

[gianmarco]

The draft is over and teams have been entered. Go in and check your squad when you get a chance. I didn't enter placeholders this year because Fantrax didn't populate a the database as widely this year. Let me know when your guys get added in and I'll place them on your team.
