    I mean if I had a center on my bench, I would understand that I need to plug my backup center into the position, and would do so anyway.
    You had 3 bench spots. Shouldve drafted a back-up!!!

    Its a total bullshit rule, but I already used a drop/add for the same reason.

    Well, that and AJ Hammons.

    Yeah because their is so many good players with center eligibility. I'll take my zero.

    You won't be the first to have the issue.

    Oh, and this week, I'm gonna dominate!
  • Laley23
    In a bold move, I am making my 3rd and final roster move. I need another WC, and think I am maximizing on both players value. Briante Weber should go down, as he is still living off of his 51 point opener (shouldve pulled the trigger for English right then and there). David Brown should go up, as he is averaging 4 full points less than his previous season.

    Dropping - Briante Weber, G, VCU
    Adding - David Brown, G, Western Michigan

    Question though...on Fantrax this doesnt take effect until next week. But, should I calculate it as immediate? That is what I am assuming, but just clarifying that the move is immediate (ie, I score Browns game Sat. not Webers game Sat.)
  • Azubuike24
    The lineup is set already. Changes don't count until next week.

    ok cool. thanks.
  • Azubuike24
    I see the argument, but in theory someone could affect their average by subbing a guy who has a game later (when their original one didn't) or vice versa. Isn't really fair to be able to affect scoring once you already see how you're standing.

    Cameron Ridley didn't even hit the rim on his last free throw attempt. He somehow summoned the strength to make the second to bring his grand point total tonight against Kentucky to 1 with three minutes to play. Just die.

    My team is deplorable.

    Am I missing something with this...you only had one wildcard before? Brown is fun to watch btw. It'll be interesting to see how WMU does in conference without Whittington this season.

    My position isn't changing but my average is slowly going up. Watch out world.
  • GOONx19
    I'm dominating this week.

    Kentucky's platoon BS is making virtually all their players un-ownable in our fantasy game. Towns and Johnson are owned because they're Center eligible and luckily WCS just had his career game last night to boost his stats a bit but damn its frustrating owning a UK player...

    Aaron Harrison, preseason POY in the SEC - 9.4ppg, 2apg, 1.5rpg
  • SportsAndLady
    So I guess tshilidzi nephawe will be out 4 weeks so I'll need to replace him.

    My question- since I have a C on my bench (Amir williams) am I able to move williams into the starting C position and replace nephawe with any position player? Or does it have to be a C?
  • Azubuike24
    You can replace him with anyone. The only issue becomes if Williams were to miss a game, his stats would still be subject to the 1 game played for 0 points if you didn't have an eligible sub. In-terms of dropping a player, there are no limits for drops other than guys being wild card or not.

    Got it. Thanks.
    I'll more than likely add a C, I just wanted to make sure I knew all my available options.
  • Azubuike24
    Only out a month, I wouldn't drop him. His PPG aren't high enough to get a decent sub compared to what he could do if he reverts to last year's form.

    Yeah but idk how I feel starting Williams in his place haha
  • Mulva
    I hate centers. Pick up Tonye Jekiri, he has his 2 worst games of the season. Bench AJ Hammons, he decides to actually start playing this week and has 33.25 today.

    I had 2 drafted. I dropped on after he decided to be a bench player this year getting 10 minutes a game. Dropped him with strategy of Troy Williams who had no games played getting a high average to start. Didn't happen. So I rolled for awhile without a second WC. Finally pulled the trigger on a 2nd one and needed to drop Webber to do so.
  • SportsAndLady
    Nephawe never played this week so just a reminder that Amir williams was subbed in for him.

    I wish there was a way for us to do that manually in the fantrax system
  • Azubuike24
    I believe technically I can override changes in Fantrax with commish mode. I think I may do that to reflect exact totals. We have S&L this week and last week we had Danuel House. Any others?
