Just like in fantasy football go add the guy you want and drop the guy you don't want.

Also Rec I'm pretty sure you're roster is locked for whoever you started. You can't just say mid week you want to bench someone for someone else on your team lol.

I was certain Az stated that we could drop and add players at any time, with the stipulation being that you can only do it three times and as soon as a player is dropped they can never be used again, but perhaps I misunderstood him. Personally, I don't see much of a difference between dropping a player mid week and waiting until the week is over, especially since we have bench players this season, but if I have broken a rule then I will adjust accordingly.

Now it's saying I can't do that because it would be an illegal roster..?

"Substitutions - You may add or drop a player at any time, but once a player is dropped, you may not add that player back (other teams can) and the player replacing him must be within 5% of that player in production for the season (a post must be made in the weekly thread). There is a limit of THREE subs per season."

Maybe I am taking this too literally, but based on the phrasing above, I don't see why a player can't be dropped mid week and replaced by another player on your bench. In my case, for example, after I dropped Nic Moore, I still used Moore's points up until the point I dropped him in combination with Kellen Dunham's points after I made the the drop when calculating my totals (so whatever games Dunham played prior to the drop were obviously not included).

Anyway, I'll let Az or others weigh in. Either way, I don't really care. As I said, I'll adjust if I broke a rule.

My team has been terrible since the opening weekend. I'm probably going to be down in the bottom 3 or 4 after tonight.

Note that I have been using Anthony Brown and Kellen Dunham since Sunday as I dropped Winston Shepard and Nic Moore from my team.

While my team sucks overall, Big Game Frank Kaminsky put up 52 fantasy points the other night on 20 points, 15 rebounds and 7 blocks. The guy is a god playing amongst children.
That won't take effect till the current week of scoring is over. The lineups are locked, so your add/drops will take place starting Monday.

You can add/drop them mid-week. Just that the change won't take effect till the following period.

This is because we established that the lineup gets locked each week. So, add them when you want, it just won't effect scoring for that week.

My second round pick got hurt in his first game

You can add/drop whenever, but your roster locks immediately each week. You couldn't remove a player from a starting spot until the next week.

With that said, make sure you actually go on the site and add/drop those guys. Fantrax will calculate roster moves for everyone and will lock moves after you make your 3...

I'm at 24.8 points per again now through 35 total games.

Cameron Ridley, my #3 pick, owns season highs of 9 points and 5 rebounds through four games.

And purported point-forward Winston Shepard, the second coming of Magic Johnson according to Athlon, is averaging 13 fantasy points per and has recorded exactly 0 assists in three games.

Corey Hawkins did drop 42 fantasy points the other night, so I can't really complain about my wildcards thus far as Jalan West is giving me a solid 35 point average.

All set. My roster for the period of 11/24 thru 11/30 reflects Anthony Brown and Kellen Dunham in the lineup.

You won't be bitching very long about wildcards when you take a brief look at mine lol.

Can someone explain to me why we can't add/drop from different positions? I want to add danuel house for either chery or amir williams but I can't because it says it's an illegal roster move. Is that because we can only add drop the same positions?

When I had issues it was because I was trying to add a player into "active" instead of "reserve" when the player I was dropping was a bench player.

Week starts Mondays. But if half your team doesn't at till Wednesday, technically by then. You can move players around, but they are locked when their teams first game is played.

To be safe, just do it Sunday night...you can also technically set your lineup weeks in advance, but I wouldn't suggest that lol.

Fucking Juice! Averaging 20 points per game. If he could just be at like 28-30 I'd be winning :(. Had a couple guys have decent games last night hopefully 4 out of 6 of mine tonight will have 30+ point games.
