You had a couple years where you completely checked out / stopped setting your lineup after the first month of the season. You weren't talking in the weekly threads. I look at my lineup at the beginning of the week and tweak it as I go. I am glad that I have the ability to add guys here and there but am also glad streaming is not a huge factor. If you aren't "having fun" I'm sorry, I just don't empathize at all.


that's why i've asked if this is just me.

but so far besides me it seems like

rondo and knat don't like it
jake likes it slightly less
toula loves it
and you love it.

so...

Here's the complaints, do you think these are legitimate?

-Want to be able to stream in mornings
-Want less roster sizes to have more quality streaming options
-Bad draft and team sucks, can't easily improve

This is pretty much on point.

one of the things that makes Basketball >>>>> Football is there are games every day...you can constantly tweak and wheel and deal.

This league now effectively is a set it and forget it league.

ETA: Streaming isnt something I really care about...the FA pool is basically a non factor though

naw...On monday I put all of my players into my starting lineup...then go back and count how many starts I have. Then bench the required amount of guys to get to 47


(47 so I have some play in case injuries happen)

Find that safe space that you're looking for.


I am not speaking as a commish, I am speaking as an owner just like y'all.

I have some depth to move. Leading the league in points by a wide margin. Who needs scorers?

For me I used this league in yr 1 as experimental to see if I could build a punt 2 cat team and to weigh the strengths of a deep balanced roster v a top heavy roster with bad players rounding out the roster. In this league my team is fix it and forget about it but in the other league with a deeper roster and the same roster size and games played limits there's a decent amount of managing the roster weekly to try to pull off certain cats. How much managing you do during the week will be dependent on how deep your team is.

this is how i feel as well. it's set and forget, and with the way the waivers run, no way to effectively add FAs in a way that makes it fun daily.

Yeah, I had to bench 11 guys last week. I had one day where I started all 10, so if you don't count that day (I would) I benched 9 guys. That is with Reggie Jackson, Jonas and Horford all hurt.

That means instead of just setting my lineup to the fullest, I had to look at what categories I thought I could win, sit some guys who might be better overall players than guys I played, then make adjustments during the week, all while making sure I had 45 starts. Isn't that the opposite of 'set your lineup and let it go' or whatever?
