This, and plus, everyone should have a shot at a free agent on the waiver wire. No brainer to me.
My intent regarding the option of auction was a base amount to spend throughout the season. So charging to refill your cash would fall under other, I guess.I personally prefer auction style. I get the priciple behind waiver order, but I just think auction is the most fair route to go. It allows owners to be active without needing to live on their smart phone to gain an advantage in regards to FCFS.Thanks for the input so far.
I agree that it does take a bit of time to establish a market value on players, so that may be the only con regarding the auction style IMO.
We haven't experienced the bad teams winning our league because they get better waiver wire pickups. When the lower seeds win it all, it's generally because a couple of players come up big in the playoffs and/or "off" weeks from their competition.
Thanks for your opinion, but we'll stick with what works for us.
Remarkably similar, my first league I ever played in (and I commish) uses FCFS. Selfishly I like it because I normally just relax and watch Sunday Ticket on Sundays, meaning I normally get good pickups since some guys are busier than I am on Sundays. Overally I'd say about 4/12 make good use of it to steal guys mid-game.That being said, I'm supporting a move to FABB/FAAB/auction (whatever you want to call it) this offseason, and it seems we'll be going that way, which I'm okay with, since I like the strategy.One thing about FCFS - is it can backfire as well. I've seen guys drop people who are good RBs to pick up a flavor of the week. Michael Bush is in my lineup for this very reason, someone dropped him to pick up someone who was garbage but having a good game right before the McFadden injury.
I prefer FCFS/Blind Bidding combo, meaning outside of the waiver period (Wed - Sat) would be FCFS, and when the games start its Blind Bid. Prob make a second waiver period for Thurs games if you feel necessary.
spread the wealthonly way that makes sense to me is the rolling waivers..you make a claim and then go to the bottom and it continuesthroughout the year.
In our case, contract dynasty league, so we have a hard salary cap and any blind bidding on waivers comes out of your available cap room. Since MFL has conditional BB waivers you can specify a player to drop in the event you win. Though one short coming is you can only specify a single player. If you have $5 in cap room, want to bid $20, and want to cut a $10 and a $5 player, you'd have to drop one of them in advance to be able to submit your waiver bid with the second player as the conditional drop.
Almost identical here. Each add/drop for fcfs is a $1. So you get $100 for the season which you can use for add/drop and blind bids. Once you hit $0 you can't perform any moves.
Get stuck with the last pick every single week like I have this year and watch your team with the best record ending up being the 3rd or 4th best ( in my opinion) by the end of the year and your perception may change. My preference would be a rolling waiver wire. There is some serious strategy involved in when to or not to go for a player when you are at the top of the list.'*Juggernaut* said:
The way that our Blind bidding works is everyone bids blindly. Highest bid gets the player, but only for 1$ more than the next highest bid. If you are the only bidder you get the player for 1$/pt. We use 200 pts/$'s per team. works pretty well and makes for some fun times waiting to see what comes back.
i like, kinda favors the rich.
