I don't see the order anywhere.... help?

Scroll over 'Draft' on the top bar and click Draft Results.

You're 5th.

Projected

Probably just because I took a bunch of multiple position players.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Nah it's got me down for zero at right wing because everyone I'm playing there has multiple positions. You drafted well.

So I thought I had set it to 3 adds a week, but now it's showing up as 5.

So strange. Any preference to what we do?

=Just switch it to 3 instead of 5 like we planned? Now that I've thought about it, five does seem like a lot. IDK. How often is someone going to actually do 5 add/drops per week, though?

 

[RayP]

I have extra D if anyone needs/wants one and has a G to spare. If so hit me up.

Yeah, my one last year had 5 and it was a bit ridiculous.

It's been fixed.

Also - everyone remember that week 1 runs through 10/15, a week and a half.

Good call IU, don't want people dropping a third of their roster stacking up adds.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Why is is setup to not allow players you grab off waivers to play the day you pick them up? That needs to be changed, IMO, IU. If it can be. I've never seen a fantasy league where you pick a guy up on waivers and can't play him until the following day... Makes no sense, and defeats the purpose of waivers...

 

[SAADfather]

Yeah I was hoping the waivers were just a post draft thing. Not a huge fan of waivers.

I don't mind them, honestly. But you should be able to start the guy you pick up the same day you acquire him. It's like that in every other fantasy league I've ever been in. Otherwise it's defeating the entire purpose of using your add/drops and/or picking guys up on waivers. Makes no sense that it would be configured that way. I picked up a guy today... I should be able to play him today. He's now on my roster, not on waivers anymore...

How am I suppose to stream goalies with waiver rules like this!!??

That was my thought. Got you by the balls hombre, Smith for Burns? Lol

I'd rather have no goalies and lose every week than be forced to root for Mike Smith.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Two guys still need to pony up.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

As I mentioned in Yahoo, this is their default rule, and I personally think it's a good one. It forces you to plan ahead and makes it a bit more difficult to stream goalies, which is a positive.

 

[RayP]

But if we can only make 3 moves a week, I don't see why it should be an issue.... Not to mention with 12 teams and 2 starting G spots, not really that many goalies to even stream.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

You can't stream guys as easily, I get the logic it just screws you in case of injuries but man these benches are thin.

Agreed on all points, actually. With only 3 add drops allowed per week, it's not the end of the world to be able to play them same day. If I had known that I wouldn't have bothered grabbing a guy on waivers, would have just waited and grabbed him on FA this morning when I woke up at 5:30am before most the rest of you foos.

Agreed, also. I basically have no one on my team I really want to drop, with the exception of Ian Cole, who I dropped already. My last round pick is likely a 50 point winger in Panik... how do I drop that?

Sorry forgot I hadn't paid yet. Just paid mine.

Because there's a ton of 50 point guys available.
