2018 Forum H2H League & Pigeon Cup

We have 11 in the league. With two days to go we need at least an even number.

I'm disappointed by the turn out this year.
There were so many teams who weren't changing the lineup the second half of the season this year is shaping up to be much more competitive. NYCFC_Dan NYCFC_Dan are you still willing to join to make sure we have an even number of players? We may need you.

I can but I may need an IOU
 
NYCFC_Dan NYCFC_Dan is that Bouchertown FC team yours or did someone else hop into your spot?
 
That’s not my team. I’ll fill it if the person doesn’t come through
Dan, I just removed them -- I don't know who they were and it looked like an Impact fan. If you could fill the spot to give us an even number that would be great. Thanks from everyone.

In. I’ll be pretty serious about it this year.
Everything still the same as before? I think the only change is you can update players until each individual game? So it doesn’t lock your entire roster once today’s 1pm starts? Just the players on that slate?

No. I found that confusing too. The roster for the week locks at 1. You can move players around within your roster as long as their game has not started yet. So at 1 you can switch around everyone on your roster who isn't on Toronto or Crew.

Week 1 matchups are all set. Good luck everybody.

Okay I’ll take care of my roster now then. Thanks.

Not sure I agree:
5. Rolling Lockout
  • There will be a rolling lockout for transfers and substitutions.
  • Players can be substituted and transferred until the start of that player’s match. Players are locked into your team once the player’s match begins.

This is so absured. I can see my opponents lineup. If I am winning by 1 pt after the first match why wouldn’t I change my lineup to match him to garuntee a victory. Then my opponent has to switch his lineup to less desirable one just to avoid the loss.

In the end I think all this rolling lockup does is generate page hits for all the people logging in and making changes. I guess management wants their web ranking up and they are willing to completely destroy fantasy to make it happen. :confounded::tired::confused::speaknoevil:

Edit: I wanted the puke emoji but we don’t have one

Didn’t realize that. You CANNOT show the unplayed lineup for your opponent if it’s rolling changes. You’re right, this is just dumb shit now.

The stupidity of this is infinite. Because until this year you could not see your opponents lineup (you could see the roster but not the lineup) until the last game started, because even though you could not transfer you could make subs. So they allowed people to do even more while games are running, and simultaneously made it possible to see your opponent's lineup -- including whos is a sub and who is the Captain.

The new interface is so bad during live games that I am seriously considering just calling it a season. Removed many functional things.

Also, they've dramatically limited the search and sort capability when looking to build a team each week.

It's really awful.

lol, the standing are ranked by league points (duh makes sense) then Point differential not points for. So you get rewarded for strategically having the shittiest opponents each week as if that isn't reflected enough in the league points where you squeak by on a week where you normally should have lost. Only thing worse would have been using points against, as if you could play your opponent into scoring less. :confused:

Is this some weird experiment where they are trying to see how much they can frustrate us before they ease off the crappy design pedal?

That doesn't bother me -- it should even out by the end of the season in leagues (like this one!!) where everyone is active.
