Me neither, but it tells you what kind of player you have in that slot, so you can replace them with a similar player from your bench if you want.

But I already have the people in "real" positions.

What's this guy supposed to BE? A quarterback? Got Phil. A running back? Got them...

Pico and ME · 09-09-2011, 09:45 AM

That a very flexible flex spot - you can put either a quarterback, a running back, a receiver or a tight end there. So, if you want, you can play two quarterbacks.

OK, so the guys on the bench (designated by BN) are not "playing" but that position (the QWRT guy) is...got it. QT guy is actually getting points...right?

I didn't know that such a role existed in the FF. Was it like that two years ago?

Thanks for the help!

no... in previous years, you had to do the pay for it version to alter the scoring system. This year, when I was setting it up, I found that I was able to alter the scoring system as well as roster positions.

I set it up to be ridiculously high scoring..... because everyone loves more points!

and I figured we'd have a relatively low amount of teams, so a larger roster would work out ok. I hope it does. I'm already having trouble finding a good RB tho.

And I can't find anything about reserve players, Pico. Where are you seeing that?

Pico and ME · 09-09-2011, 11:00 AM

In the settings section where it lists roster points and stuff...

Reserved Player Position

Custom league managers may choose to enable a Reserve slot to allow an injured or suspended NFL player to be placed on a non-active fantasy roster slot. If a player meets a number of NFL-specific roster designations and you believe upon return to an active NFL roster that he will be an impact player for your team, you can place the player on this Reserve (RES) slot.

Players are eligible for the Reserved slot if they are officially labeled by their NFL team as:

RES: Injured Reserve
NON: Non Football Related Injured Reserve
SUS: Suspended
PUP: Physically Unable to Perform
EXE: Exempt

Once a player is moved to the RES roster position, you will have an open spot on your roster and can add a player to your active roster without the need to drop someone. Note that when the time comes to activate your reserved player, you will need to make a corresponding transaction to ensure your roster meets league-specified roster limits.

Once a player becomes active, you can keep him in your RES spot, but you will be restricted from improving your team via add, drop or trade since your roster will be in an illegal state. Note that your team will still earn fantasy points for matchups that take place, but you can not improve your team via external transactions.

Thanks for finding that, Jim.

jimhelm · 09-09-2011, 02:29 PM

de nada

glatt · 09-12-2011, 12:58 PM

All I have to do tonight is use my two remaining players to double my score so far, and then I can beat UT.

Pico and ME · 09-12-2011, 01:20 PM

Oh Gawd, I thought I thought I had this game in the bag. Now I don't have a chance.

Good game River Rats!

jimhelm · 09-12-2011, 01:28 PM

Actually, your game should be close. The rest seem decided.

infinite monkey · 09-12-2011, 01:39 PM

Rivers is da bomb.

jimhelm · 09-12-2011, 09:13 PM

Cheese and rice. High scoring alright.

glatt · 09-13-2011, 07:09 AM

For some, yes.
