I will say this...begging shtick is an innovative appraoch.

I predict this will bear fruit.

I hope it does bear fruit. There are so many guys prepared to whine about the clutter in the Pool but won't do anything to "help a brother out" in the ACF.

Here's a tip for all the guppies in the ACF.

Buy the premium FBG content and pay special attention to Upgrades/Waivers, Strength of Schedule, Top 250 Forward and Lineup Dominator. This is just scratching the surface of the content available if you've got the time to dig down deep and read all that's provided.

I learned a few years ago that instead of asking for help from a shark that it's actually easier and more rewarding to buy the FBG's subscription and become a shark.

Shark's are busy people too. I'm normally too busy to make it into the ACF although I do find it entertaining to see some of the trade offers. I barely have time to keep up to speed in the Shark Pool and subscriber content while trying to maintain my three teams so helping the teams of strangers is just too much.

Hope this helps.

Everyone wants something for free. The subscription is well worth it, especially as a nice guide for inexperienced players for lineups, trades, waivers, etc.

Not everybody that asks for advice in the ACF is a non-subscriber. Some of us prefer to have people "talk out" the pros and cons of the different choices we have in setting our individual lineups. My own mileage varies with my participation in there (some weeks more some weeks less) but the characterization that it's just folks looking for a freebie is off-base IMO.(Edited to add - more than a few folks 'graduate' from being ACF posters to being paid supporters of this enterprise. Helping out and even explaining how the tools given by the site inform your opinions on their given situation will probably increase the chances that they'll buck up and subscribe, rather than decrease those chances.)-QG

I was really hoping the plea would be to stop using the term "Sharks".

<--------Paid FBG subscriber for 3 years runningI find that I'm generally a guppy when it comes to trades that involve my own team, and a shark when replying to other peoples trade questions.
