    How do you feel about people starting injured and bye week players

    alot have different views for this but i won't put up with it. I don't care if the games
    have started, those lineups need to be edited.

    Its not every person for themselves and do what you want imo.
    Nobody should get a cheap free win and people not active need to be
    replaced if possible.

    It can make a difference between making and not making the playoffs.

    I think ill suggest it to espn and yahoo for it to automatically take out injured and bye week
    players.

    If anyone knows what software could be used for this you could make millions.

    TT is talking about inactive league members. Those teams don't get their line-ups changed when players get hurt or are on BYE weeks. This leaves incomplete rosters, and giving the other team matched up with them a better chance at winning.

    It should be random so you should get about as many free rides as anyone else.

    I'll make a facebook page for it and send out bulk emails and make a website

    I also talk to mathew berry and some others at espn quite a bit. They respond to my twitter and facebook posts quite frequently.

    they want to meet the warrior too

    i agree, and it always seems like the person in first place luckily draws the guy with all the byes who doesnt set his lineup...dont play FFB if you cant even take the time to set a lineup once a week...

    Yes most commissioners can change lineups. But why should they? It's the guy's own fault for forgetting!

    This is a disgrace TT, as Fantasy Forum Mod, I implore you to do something about it.

    That's why a buy in should be high enough for people to care.

    I'd edit their team, have done so in the past as a comish.

    Basically ruins the whole league if people do this.

    This will always be a problem. It sucks
    It seems every league I've been in has one or two teams that lose interest/give up.
