Re: 2009 Fantasy Football
Thanks - i had 30 2 weeks ago so I have no idea what my team is, haha.
Re: 2009 Fantasy Football
how come if i place 2 waiver pickups that i cant even get one of the players i selected? 2 people got both their choices and i didnt get one of mine?
shouldnt it go like losest waiver priority gets one then it goes down the list and then high priority gets one then redo?
Re: 2009 Fantasy Football
The waivers are fucked up. The whole concept of having waivers is fucked up, but then to have them done wrong just makes it twice as bad.
That's the way yahoo sets it up. I had 2 options. The way it's set up now, the teams with the worst records get first priority on the waiver wire. Note - all players not on teams are placed on waivers after the games begin on Sunday - Tuesday night. During that time you put your waiver claims in for as many players as you want. The worst team can pick up as many players as they want. If they want 5 guys, they'll get those 5 guys, then the 2nd worst team is up, and so on. So Neemo, you're near the top of the standings so by the time it gets to you the guys you put claims in for are already picked up. So when you're at the bottom of the standings you have to take advantage while you can. It's designed to help make the league more competitive.
It WOULD make more sense if it was on a rotational basis, 14th place goes ONCE, then 13th, and so on. But they don't set it up that way for some reason. I'm in a league where it has that rotation, BUT it's not based on overall team records, it's based on draft status. And since I had the first pick in the draft I have last waiver priority ALL SEASON long, regardless of how good/bad my team is. That makes no sense to me. So in my mind we have the better of the two options. It's not ideal, but we must deal with it.

I don't like the waivers, and think it'd be better to just have free agents be truly free. But I can deal with it.

Free agents without waivers can get ridiculous, and it usually does. You have people who sit at their computer or have their blackberry ready to go and the moment a "free agent" scores a TD or breaks off a 20 yard run they pick him up. It's really not fair that that person gets first dibs because he was the first to get online. Waivers is the best option. Unfortunately it looks like I chose the wrong way to run waivers. In my defense, I was just going off the way it was run in a league I was in last year. But it appears, THIS would be the best option.
Weekly rolling list based on standings w/FAAB or without: Waiver claims are processed in reverse order of standings and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list.

Sorry guys, there's nothing we can do about it now. I will change it for next year, but we're stuck with it the way it is for the rest of this season.
Re: 2009 Fantasy Football
It's not the end of the world, but eveybody being FA is better than the worst teams ALWAYS getting every guy they want. If there's going to be a waiver wire where everyone goes on it, then it has to rotate. There's no other fair way to do it.
I got screwed earlier in the season with it - I'd almost be tempted to lose my first couple games on purpose just to snatch up all the guys that came out of nowhere the way it stands now...
