scoop 3,255 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 You can change your roster every week? Lame. Yeah, totally lame to actually have control over your roster. not a fan of changing it every week. seems like a lot of unnecessary work for whoever is the head of the league. I'm fine with it. Maybe it'll be more work than I expect but at least for one season I am certainly willing to put in the effort. Besides, I like doing this kind of stuff. What I'm more concerned about is that surely you can just change to the first place team roster and everyone will have the same squad. This is a joke, right? What is the point of the weekly changes though? Yeah, that is incredibly pointless. To make the winner someone who is more deserving of the win, rather than someone who randomly picked the best squad at the beginning of the season. It's certainly not pointless; it's a pretty big change. It allows people who want to put in more effort for their team to do so. gorlab, Higgins, Tagger and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop 3,255 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 To be completely honest, I'm very surprised at the negative attention this is getting. What is the argument in favor of no changes? The only thing I can think of is that it requires less work for the person in charge, but I'm entirely fine with doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie 438 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 You don't have to change your roster each week as far as I'm concerned. It's only if you pick a dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick 4,724 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah I would say changing one player a week if he sucks, but not the whole roster every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfan036 4,583 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah I would say changing one player a week if he sucks, but not the whole roster every week. I think switching out one player a week sounds like a better idea I approve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jala 922 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Being able to rework your entire roster weekly takes the skill out of it. This isn't an elimination draft where you can't pick Slaughter because someone else got him; everyone has an equal chance of building the exact same team. The difference in the winners and losers is who knows the league and which players can perform well. When you remove that factor it just cheapens the whole experience, namely for what Victor said. You see Quebec doing well, just slot in their hot players, or Stockholm's, or whoever is doing well that week. It's a bold idea and it's good to see things being challenged and shaken up, but I personally feel it's a overall negative change to the whole fan league experience. I personally would like to see the option to change it maybe once a season, preferably before the trade deadline. This allows you to drop someone like Thomassen who's sucking balls and add a Harumpf to help you out, without the knowledge of which teams will improve or drop off after the deadline.

Static rosters take the skill out of it and make it more about luck. And that last line... that's exactly the point. The people who are paying attention to the league and what's going on, the schedules, etc are the ones who are going to do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop 3,255 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Final verdict: I will be doing it my way, as described with weekly roster adjustments allowed. That is, unless the commissioners decide to fire me from the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran the thing last season and I didn't give a shit about it. There's really no reason to pay attention to it. You just make your roster at the beginning, forget about it, and collect your TPE at the end of the season. This makes it a fuckton more interactive.

BOOM 8,425 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Will the player cost change during the season or remain static? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop 3,255 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Will the player cost change during the season or remain static? Only when a players salary changes will their cost change. That means that there shouldn't be any changes following Week 2. Some of the Week 1 salaries will be off because of salary increases between the time I made the list and the beginning of the season when salaries become locked. And this will affect several teams as a result of the New York bonsuses being handed out. I will make sure to PM everyone whose team is affected by a change in salary of a player on their team. The updated player list will be made once the season starts. Edited June 30, 2015 by Streetlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOM 8,425 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks street. Was just curious if I'm at the $20 Million cap with my roster, that I can only sub, let's say a $4 Million Fwd for someone of equal or lesser value, based on the Week 1 cost. You answered that, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
