MYFBG and Flex Positions setup (1 Viewer)

[Athletic Supporter]

Trying to set up the starting requirements on MYFBG and having a hard time figuring out how to deal with flex positions.

One of my leagues are configured as follows:

1 QB

1 RB

3 WR

1 TE

1 PK

1 DEF/ST

1 FLEX - this can be a RB, WR or TE

TIA!

My guess is that I would use the value 1.3 for RB, WR & TE. Is that correct?

No one can offer up an explaination of how the decimal values should be used when defining flex starters?

I don't think there's a definite answer to be had. Either setting all three to 1.3 or 1.33 if it'll allow it should work. Alternately, you can weight it to 1.4 for RB and WR and 1.2 for TEs to de-emphasize the position. Or set RB and WR to 1.5 if you know you won't be flexing a TE.

Depends on your scoring, since that will probably determine how likely you are to use which position as a flex. For example, if you use the FBG Contest scoring (with variable ppr per position), TE scoring increases and the 1.3-3.3-1.3 aplit might be reasonable. If there isn't any ppr, you're probably more likely to wnat to start an extra RB if possible, so it might be 1.5-3.4-1.1.

Edit to correct for 3 WR requirement.
