At the moment I'm feeling comfortable with my most expensive WR being in the $16 - $19 range.
Never had that happen in previous years.

There a few guys missing that I really wanted to draft. Oh well..FUBAR said:That's one of the biggest complaints. But given the difficulty of adding players or adjusting, we really can't blame them.Deltron said:Please remind me...Does the entry form get updated between its initial release and the submission deadline? The reason I ask is I noticed some sleepers I really like (ex. Stefon Diggs) are not on the entry form.
It's probably for the best, it's a slippery slope.FUBAR said:That's one of the biggest complaints.

Can you imagine how much more of a time suck this would be if the roster choices were updated?It's probably for the best, it's a slippery slope.FUBAR said:That's one of the biggest complaints.

Yeah, Niles Paul really messed up my TE strategy.Well, the best value in the contest is now out for the season...

Funny how no one was mentioning him previously. Many of us probably had him hoping folks wouldn't notice.
I'll see if I can put something together, but time is pretty sparse for me as well.If you're looking for some historical survival rate data on roster construction while building lineups, feel free to use the querier here: http://o.ffense.com/fbg35k/querier/index.phpIt's been updated with last year's results and goes back to 2007.
Also, in the absence of any other solutions I'm planning to run the live scoring again this year. However, I'm pretty busy and it's only going to get much worse once we roll into NFL season, so if anyone ever wanted to try their hand at putting together a live scoring app for the contest I'd be happy to pass the torch. If you're on the fence, consider that at this time last year I'd never done anything like this in my life and in the span of a couple of weeks with a bunch of googling I was able to get a working site up and running. It was a tremendous learning experience for me, and it actually helped me land my current job which is awesome. Like I said, I can fire it up again this year but if anyone wants to take a crack at it please feel free, and let me know if you have any questions.
I only really see 1. Do you really think that other guy will be on everyones? He's somewhat overrated I think. The first guy should be a lock though.I only see 2 players that will be on every roster.
Fewer than years past.
Yea, that guy. That one guy is a lock. The lock guy. The guy lock. Lockity lock for sure. Just so we're on the same page, and of course I know who he is, but just so everyone else knows... who's the lock?I only really see 1. Do you really think that other guy will be on everyones?

I already did that.Yea, that guy. That one guy is a lock. The lock guy. The guy lock. Lockity lock for sure.

I see 2 that should be no-brainers at their price. Not sure if they are the same two that you're thinking of.I only see 2 players that will be on every roster.

I must be off then, I am not seeing these two guys if they are cheap. I am willing to share the 2 guys I think are must haves if anyone else wants to share.I see 2 that should be no-brainers at their price.

Even when they just flat out miss on a guy's price, they end up like 50-55% owned.I only see 2 players that will be on every roster.

I've got a few, but none that I'm counting on each week.I've got 2 cheapos. One qb and one wr. Wonder if we're thinking the same guys or not.
What exactly is so difficult about adding players?That's one of the biggest complaints.

It's not particularly difficult. You just have to recalculate auction values based on vbd values of the entire field. I'm sort of a contrarian though, and would not like it if there were revisions to the grid.What exactly is so difficult about adding players?That's one of the biggest complaints.

I would be cool if they added a player and updated the prices of players that are affected if they get hurt for the year in the preseason. So replace Niles Paul with another 3 dollar tight end and maybe adjust Reed's price.What exactly is so difficult about adding players?That's one of the biggest complaints.

I'm guessing it's likely more of a legal issue. If you open a contest offering a cash prize, then change the landscape after some entries have already been accepted, that's just begging for some people to claim it wasn't fair after the contest is over (and I would tend to agree).What exactly is so difficult about adding players?That's one of the biggest complaints.

This contest was the first thing I thought about when I read about him. Didn't feel like messing with it, so I just moved his $2 to a better defense and am now sitting at 29 players.Well, the best value in the contest is now out for the season...
You are right a out it being a pain for the people that set their lineup and are done u less injury or never touch it again. I was more thinking about how it would be more fun for me. I love this contest and look at it many times a day. It is a good thing they don't release it until August or I would do nothing all summer.I don't think it's feasible to change prices / add players. Take the N. Paul / Reed example from Daisy above (not picking on you, just using your example). If Reed's price is adjusted upward, what happens to all the teams that already have Reed on their roster? Most (if not all) would now have an illegal lineup because his new salary would put teams over. And what about the teams with Paul already on their roster? Should that player be swapped for the new $3 player? Should he just be dropped from their roster? I just think it would be a nightmare for FBGs to try to manage all these potential salary and player changes AND make it fair for everyone who has already added players to their rosters.
I am here, I have 3 running backs, 2 receivers and 2 tight ends that are on unless they get hurt. After that I have a group of 12 to 15 guys that I keep changing back and forth.There are two studs who I don't think you can replicate their production through any combination of other players at the same cost. They won't be coming off my roster imo.
I had to do a double take for him the other day. I was hoping to take a 5 dollar or so flier on him.No Hillman?
I'm only considering 1 sub $5 WR a complete no brainer thus far. Depending on how preseason shakes out, there's could be more.There are exactly 3 sub-$5 WRs who at this point are no brainers and will be on my roster. 2 others who have potential.
The list of cheap RBs is a total garbage heap though.

I've liked all of my iterations. Until I try a new one.I haven't done well with these in the past but I am really liking my team so far this year.
