I'll entertain Odell Beckham offers.. looking for immediate NFL help/NBA star

If some can add the faab and I add wentz through claims. Cheers

I added $10 to your budget on the NFL side.

On a related note, we are still investigating the issue of FAAB budget being carried over from last year (which was raised maybe a month ago). In the mean time, I've updated the FAAB budget for both basketball and football to the same amounts, and we'll concurrently update the FAAB budgets every week every Monday & Wednesday

If anyone knows for a fact that they didn't trade any FAAB during the baseball season and that they did have some left over from last year it should be pretty easy to just add up what they spent and see what is left. I added my spent $ up and got 158 which would leave me with 142 out 300 if none was carried over, which is what I have in baseball. Unfortunately I can't remember if I had any left over and the previous season's NBA page doesn't show FAAB. So even if we figure out if it was or wasn't carried over I'm not sure there is a way to see how much should have been at this point.

Anyone gonna stop TCT from intentionally tanking or are we just going to ignore it?

Sits Hogan last week for Robert Woods and Adam Humphries
Sits Henry for the injured West and sits Cooper for Woods/Nelson/Humphries/Goodwin

Also currently has Hogan on his bench for this week as well and I highly doubt he plans on changing since he already changed his starting lineup from last week (To take out Derrick Henry but keep West in, someone who has basically been a lock to be out today since his concussion on Sunday)

I didn't mean to leave West in, that was a complete accident. Who I chose to play elsewhere is my decision...Cooper has done worse than the guys I start and I have scored more points than the 2 teams above me. Cooper is my lowest ranked WR so why start him until he gets going?

At least I start players that have played this year, why not talk about Loose? Grif Whalen....come on...17 points last week.

If you look he's been doing this all year this is ridiculous something needs to be done about it.

Oh really? It was an accident to LEAVE DERRICK HENRY OUT OF A LINEUP THAT YOU CHANGED FROM LAST WEEK? Is that what you're claiming?

Was it an accident to start Hogan and Prescott once each all year? Starting Palmer/Hoyer over Prescott and consistently starting Goodwin/Woods/Nelson/Humphries over Cooper and Hogan? Go sling this bs somewhere else. You're obviously intentionally trying to lose games and anyone with a brain knows it.

Good idea!

I can alter lineups but I am not lying about forgetting to move Henry back in, I honestly forgot about the Chiefs playing tonight.

Weeks I did not play Cooper he scored 1.6 and 2.9 so that was a good play me
Hoyer scoring 30.2 and getting pulled in his other start dont seem to be that big of a deal.

Dak has outscored Palmer by 13pts...Palmer has no running game so why not start him when they should be passing all game? John Brown was out so why not JJ Nelson? I start players based on what I feel and think not based on projections. As far as Hogan goes, I do not play him cause I just don't but if he was in my lineup each week the outcome does not change.

If it is a requirement to play your best players? If so, than I have plenty of examples in other sports where a teams best player or players were sat but no one talked about that.

The only way my team would of won a game with the optical lineup would be with Hunt or Kamara called up with the right combination of WR in the game, most likely involving Woods/Nelson/Hogan/Humphries and only Cooper on the weeks he was in my lineup.

Go call out teams that play players with 0 snaps this year or less than 15 each game. At least lose putting up a fight.

I went ahead and put Hogan in my lineup for you!!

I don't care how they ended up doing in the games you sat them, I care that you are clearly intentionally losing.

You clearly put in the injured Charcandrick West over Derrick Henry this week, you knowingly altered your lineup to do so.
You have played #8 wide receiver Chris Hogan once.
You have played Dak Prescott once, multiple times playing Brian Hoyer over both Palmer and Prescott

You are intentionally trying to lose
Intentionally trying to lose is against the rules
You should be punished.

That is my stance, others can chime in if they want.

Yes I did put West in but was going to change him but spaced on them playing tonight...my bad.

Please other chime in but I dont see how I can be punished when the matchups are competitive. Can we go back and punish others who benched multiple top 20 NBA players to get a top 2 draft pick? Seems only fair, sorry to throw another team under the bus but it bull**** to be the only team called out for playing weaker (on paper) lineups

Which sparks the question, why would you put West there in the first place when he was never even remotely close to as appealing of a play as Henry? Hm....

If you saw people doing that and said nothing you should have said something. But even if people did do that, they were probably doing it because they never set their lineups like SRM used too. What you're doing is even worse. You're knowingly changing your lineups, and keeping your best players out of your lineup to try to lose. That is complete and utter garbage and that is why I called you out.

I did say stuff but I did it through PM with the commish. Oh and they did set their lineups then realized they could not win with the stacked teams so they benched all their all-stars.

I am done arguing the West situation, I dont know why I would put him in there, probably just moving players around unknowing of their situation, cant defend that mistake.

Keeping Hogan out is the only thing I have done wrong, playing QBs that have done just as good may look wrong going into the matchup but didnt seem to change the outcome.

Let me get this straight though...if I would have played the better (on paper) players and lost by more than I initially did, than I would not of been called out for tanking? Damn, I should of just set a week 1 lineup and quit participating then...

So if someone sat Antonio Brown for Griff Whalen and Whalen outscored him that wouldn't be considered tanking to you? Using results oriented thinking on a poker forum may not be the smartest idea.

That's my last post on this, like I said ya'll can come to your own conclusions on it.

Think we decided way back, only thing you gotta do is set a "proper" lineup?

I think we should just switch the draft so tanking is not so beneficial. How to do it I dont know.

But the tanking is gettin pretty absurd, I did it myself in the NBA so not throwing anyone under the bus, but almost half the games in nfl, and in the end of baseball season, feels like byes. Ruins the fun a bit.

Just a quick edit; Not for this year of course... But maybe for next year, or the year after that.

there are 3 ways teams adjust their team for the football league.

You either play for the overall 1-4
or
You either play for more points in overall
or
You either play for high draft picks.
(and no one can tell me this is not true to some extent)

I clearly could not compete with the top teams in the league so why deplete other sports trying to do so this year? High draft picks it is but I am going to put my most competitive team (in my mind) out there. Not what you would do, okay, maybe that is why I have never had a good NFL team.

Othello, I respect the fact that you admiited to it. I did tell the commish about it but nothing was enforced, which has happened before. I was not going to mention your name only the fact a team did hoping that team knew I was talking about them.

If we decided that a proper lineup had to be set than I have done nothing wrong other than the West issue tonight.

Lets make the draft be like then NBA lottery to where anyone can get 1st pick but teams with worst records have a better chance but not guaranteed.

As long as someone has a valid lineup I don’t see the issue with putting a bad lineup out there if the owner feels it’s in the best interest of their team in the long run. This is a Dynasty league. Not paying attention and leaving a stale lineup from lack of attention go from week to week is unacceptable and has been adequately enforced imo. I don’t see how we can be in the business of telling other owners how to run their teams. We all pay our money. There are obvious exceptions involving collusion during the last few weeks of a season in a H2H sport that would be noticed and addressed properly.

Look at what the 76’ers have done. Losing on purpose at least shows enough long term focus that will keep our league healthy. If we as a league decide we don’t like this practice then the only way to solve it will be to go to a random ordered or auction style rookie draft.

Trust the process.

There's a difference between being a negligent owner and intentionally setting a lineup to lose every week. The latter is a LOT worse imo. Which is what he did then pathetically attempted to deny as if it wasn't obvious. If he put Prescott/Henry/Ivory/Hogan/Cooper/Woods/Humphries/Thomas/Hawks/McManus as his lineup every week and didn't change it that would be a lot better than sitting at least 2 of his best players every week and that's pretty obvious if you aren't his completely biased former co-owner.

And no the system doesn't need to be changed, people just need to stop cheating it.

I don't start Cooper cause he has not done **** since week 1 (in my lineup) until tonight. Other than West I have not done anything wrong, except displease your eyes with my unorthodox lineup.

I enjoy this league but I do not enjoy being attacked for the way I set my lineup. I will defend my decisions to start whoever I want especially when those players are scoring more than the guys I bench. There has definitely been moments where the benched player has scored more but that is part of fantasy football. In every league out there, owners kept starting Cooper while the few risk takers started JJ Nelson when DJ went out and it paid off. This is how I play and if it wasnt for me starting West and then Cooper going off on my bench, none of this would of been brought up.

Fact: Cooper scored more tonight than he has all games this season combined and has never scored a TD in his previous 4 games against KC....crazy eh

Worst part is you think these obvious lies are actually fooling anyone lmao. Done with you, keep talking and making the league worse for everyone if you want but no one with half a brain is going to believe the garbage you're spewing.
