Draft starts in 5 minutes chad and you are not there???

[wayne1218]

I see you just logged in

How do I submit who I want to sit and start from my roster each day? That page is jibberish?

Reminds me of that MLB fantasy league I was in it looks the exact same and couldnt figure that one out either??

[Chado1]

Drag and drop to where? Whos starting and whos not? What is BN? Where is the option for "click here to submit your 9 player lineup??

[wayne1218]

Chad, Click on my team, then click on Thursday. X that box out that comes up in the beginning and click on "Classic" in the upper right hand side of the my team page. On the left it will show who is playing Thursday and who isn't. If you have guys playing and listed on the left as Bench "Bn", you need to put them in the lineup and bench the player who isn't playing. It is really simple and you need to play around with it a bit to get used to it. Make sure you always click "Submit Changes" on the bottom too when making a change.

Thanks...I mean seriously if one had never been in a fantasy league through yahoo how would you know this stuff? Had no clue about clicking on classic. Anyway so hypothetically speaking if I keep on the ball with it daily I just BN beside the guys who arent playing and click the position of the guys I want in who are playing that night and click submit changes right? Does it have to be 9 even if they arent playing or can you just have less than that starting because they are the only ones playing that night?

So only 6 of my 15 guys are actually playing tomorrow night so I clicked on their postition in the scroll down box (which I am assuming means they are starting) and then I scrolled to BN for the other 9 that arent playing then went to submit changes? Is this right??

Guys that are not playing can still be in your lineup. You just want as many guys as possible playing each night.

I understand that. I just want to make sure they are submitted properly. As long as they dont have a BN they are starting unless I change it right?

[Chado1]

I thought we can start 9 out of the 15 men on our roster each day? Everytime I try to do so it says an error for me? C, LW, RW, D, D, Util, Util, G = 8 not 9? What am I missing?

Chad, you REALLY need to read the rules on the league page. All your questions will get answered there. You need to fill each spot that doesn't have a bn next to it and if you look on the league page, it shows some changes that were made to the roster positions like 2 goalies per day and not 1. You would have had more points last night but you had 3 goalies on the bench and only 1 starting. It is very simple. You just need to play guys that are playing and bench guys that are not each day. If several are playing, you need to pick the ones who you think will score the most points. It is all pretty self explanatory on the "My Team" page as to what positions you need to fill each night. If you have somebody on your team who sucks and you want to change, just go to players and pick somebody else up by clicking on him and drop somebody else. I think you are making this a lot tougher than it really is.

Also, for every guy you put IN the lineup, you need to bench somebody to get him OUT of that spot. We also just have 2 Wing positions, not left & right!

I tried to start 2 goalies (Thomas and Varlamov) last night and it said error you already have that position started or whatever so didnt let me...

Nevermind figured it out...thats the 9th man the 2nd goalie...that answers my question....didnt know you could start two G per night...could have had either Price or Thomas that both won last night also...

The only time it ever says that is when you are trying to start somebody and somebody else is already in that position.
