"There are four (4) NFL playoff rounds total during the Contest. Prior to the first round of the NFL playoffs (the "Wild Card Playoff Round"), you can choose a starting lineup of eight (8) NFL players. You will have 300 units (as explained below) to "spend" assembling your team. You will be able to change your lineup, without penalty, until the lineup setting deadline for the Wild Card Playoff Round (see "Lineup Setting Deadline" section below). Once your lineup locks for the Wild Card Playoff Round, you will have eight (8) lineup moves to make for the remainder of the Contest. You may use as many of the moves allotted in any round as you would like, however, you will not be able to exceed the eight (8) moves allotted for the remainder of the Contest. "

Seems to me like they should've made it a little more difficult by increasing the units on some of the better players... I was surprised when I got to the end and had enough to upgrade my WRs dramatically after still taking the most expensive K and Def.

The 8 changes makes it kind of easy too... especially if the guys you throw back you get to reuse their units (which I ASSUME is the case... I couldn't find anything in the rules saying otherwise). I was planning on taking players from teams that I though should make it to the AFC/NFC championships and/or the SB... but I'm rethinking that strategy in the first round if I'm able to dump an average of 2 guys per round.

Has anyone done this before, or is this the first year for the Playoff Challenge? Will the players that have a bye this week be added to next week's line-up options? I assume I would have to use one of my 8 line-up changes to add players from Ten, Pit, NYG, or Car in future weeks...
