How do you determine what is an honest mistake though.

I think dropping any healthy player is pretty clearly a mistake, it'd be fuzzier if it had been a swap, but there's no sane reason for dropping a healthy player.

If they come on to the thread quickly after it happens and say it's an honest mistake.

Lads, It was 5 o clock sunday and i was setting my team. I wanted Brees as QB instead of Taylor so I hit "Drop" thinking it meant putting him on the bench but alas it was to put him on the wire. As soon as I realised I came on here. The times can be seen by the posting and the notes on the fantasy chat.

Honest mistake and Im just asking for a bit of goodwill. No way would I drop a good QB like him before the league has even started.

Up to others if they want to take advantage of the mistake.

My general philosophy for managing a league is hands off, if you mess up you mess up. No ones fault but your own. Had I accidentally accepted a trade and cancelled it there would have been uproar or accidently dropped a player and added him back to my team. It happened last year where I had to go to the person i traded with to trade back as I wouldn't expect the commissioner to do it.

However, this is a friendly league and in, what i believe, to be the spirit of boards, I have added Taylor back on to the peeping tomlinsons.


Advanced warning.... If something like this happens again, tough titties. No problem with someone posting asking people not to pick him up but I will not be getting involved in the issue using any "commissioner powers". Its a level playing field and the same for everyone.

If there is a trade issue, I have no problem reversing it providing both managers pm me that they are happy for it to be reversed, otherwise its a non issue as far as i'm concerned.

setanta74

Thanks..didn't want to create a drama..was just asking for a favour for an honest (and stupid) mistake. Appreciate the intervention.
The app is rubbish though this year.

Settings seem fine and my waiver claims are still saying that they're due to be processed Thursday morning, so it's probably a bug. Unless it's on central time, as it's still technically the morning here (11.06 as of writing)

Who knows anything is possible! The problem is if he throws one to Dez it doesnt help you
Lucky win for me last night with Kareem Hunt's late 69 yard TD sneaking a win past Longford Crusaders, who had terrible performances from Philip Rivers, Ty Montgomery & Amari Cooper to help me.

I switched off the laptop last night about 1 pt ahead and with the Chargers driving in the 4th quarter, Green Bay on offense and Amari Cooper to play thinking I was looking good for the win...

Oh well, at least as a Chiefs fan I can be slightly happy with the outcome. Kareem Hunt has been amazing so far.

In fairness, even if I'd started Alex Smith I'd have lost and Julio didn't do much for you so it could have been far worse.

FastFullBack

I'm on the market for a QB. Team is RomaSuck Raiders. Already sent out one trade request. Also open to offers on the rest of my roster.

davetherave

To be fair, that's not actually a bad offer. Certainly better than some of the trades I've been proposed in the past including one two years ago from someone who wanted my Blake Bortles for a then injured for the rest of the season Peyton Manning...

I'm going to hold off for a day or two to see what the story with Julio's leg is but yeah it seems like a fair swap to me. I can't find the catch anyway.

QB wise you are getting someone who is solid and I'm getting someone who should be starting in some favourable matchups against the Bears, Texans and Titans as a backup if something should happen to Dak.
I'm getting a solid rest of season TE and Julio for AB.

Ya there are so few trades in the Boards leagues that I really dont know what makes a fair trade to be honest. When I made the trade request I wasn't aware Julio had picked up an injury. I see you've rejected it now. If I remove Julio and AB from the equation have you any interest.

Lots of folks have good backup QB's sitting on their benches, so I need to get one

davetherave

Did I reject it? Sorry, I clicked on "Counter Trade" just as a shortcut to have a look at who else you had on your roster. I didn't mean to reject it

Send it on again there and I'll put it through.

You accepted on Thursday afternoon, but it's still not gone through, it should be past the 1 day waiting period now.

Anyone know why it ain't gone through?

Of course Julio would wait until today when I'm playing against him to have his first huge day of the year.

davetherave

The tight end didn't do too bad for himself either.

davetherave

And even better, now it's Jimmys time to shine.
18 yards and 1 touchdown every 67 seconds. If there is 3,600 seconds spread over the four quarters of 15 minutes a piece.
For the 2017 season San Fran have been averaging 26:44 time of possession. That is 1604 seconds.
If the sums are correct Jimmy, on account of his 100% completion rate this season, is going to have 23TD and 431 passing yards, with the added bonus of 95 rushing yards thrown in for good measure.


DublinGreen, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but my QB is going to score 118 points this weekend :pac: .......that's how this works isn't it??
Might just give everyone else the week off

FastFullBack

So the Playoff schedule is set:
Quarterfinal 1
The Abusement Park(1) BYE
Quarterfinal 2
RomaSuck Raiders(4) VS Converse Nostars(5)
Quarterfinal 3
My Cousin Vince(3) VS SuperTroopersFC(6)
Quarterfinal 4
Hello Simey(2) BYE

Semifinal 1 VS 2
Semifinal 3 VS 4

My first time in the playoffs. My fantasy season has been a direct reflection of the Chiefs season, I started 5-0 and fell over the line at 8-5. Time to bench Kareem Hunt!!

Raphael

3 games behind Hello Simey, the second overall seed and my division leader, 3 points ahead of them on points for. Fantasy you are a cruel mistress.

Only consolation playoffs for me this year, but given I was 2-5 halfway down the stretch, I'm just happy to be avoiding relegation...

FastFullBack

Congrats The Abusement Park, by far the best record and deserving winner. Excellent roster as well.
Roll on next year in D2. Now to enjoy the rest of the season without worrying how my players are doing.

Yah same... Just went to join and told league is full

paulie21

Apologies lads. It reset to 12 teams when I deleted promotion/relegation. Its back to 16 now so try your link now. 1 problem I have if anyone has the answer is how do I delete another team because it won't allow an uneven amount of teams?

gerryfed

I'm in now! Cheers

Poll to vote for draft time. Think either Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings are best options so put times on poll for same. I'll allow votes on poll until 10pm on Friday as we have to set draft order beforehand and allow time for preparation.

Can you change it to allow people to vote for multiple options? Normally works best
