Agree with DallasFootball please add those features. Also need to be able to add a player directly to the taxi squad from FA/Waiver list if there is an open spot. Right now even if there an open taxi spot it makes us have to cut a player from regular roster to add a player and then move that added player to the taxi squad meanwhile we lost a player for no reason that someone else can take from us. you think it cna be done before this season starts or will it not be until next year when the changes can be made?
The 3 options DallasFootball mentioned are definitely necessary. Also, taxi squad spots should NOT count against the roster size/bench spots. In that way it should function exactly like the IR. When an eligible player is put on taxi squad it should free up a bench spot, and when he goes back to the roster a player in a bench spot should have to be dropped if there are no empty bench slots. Thanks!
We've haven't added any customization options yet to Taxi Squads yet as we wanted to see what kinds of features folks were looking for beyond setting the number of players, so there are no enforcement rules yet except for any custom mandates the commissioner communicates and polices.
I'll be sure to note that you are looking for these particular capabilities. Thanks for taking the time to send them in!
Maybe just for now would it be easy to allow us to set a bench size so when we add roster spots for our taxi squad we are not adding bench spots too? It would help create a separation between our bench and our taxi squad for now until rule options are available.
okay so when we place a player on taxi I see that it takes them off my roster count but then shouldn't it open a draft pick? We have a 30 man keeper we want 10 starters 20 bench and a 10 max 2 year taxi until rule options are given just trying to get through this first year so this season will be rookies only. The problem I am having is trying to open draft spots for a 5 round rookie draft thought we would just place 5 players on the taxi to open spots for the draft but it doesn't work so I'm not sure how to fix it any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
right now I told my leagues that only rookies, second year players and third year players are allowed on taxi squad but it would be nice if that option was added
Myself, I doubt it, but I hope it would be for this season.
I think it will be done or planned for next year.They gave us the bare minimum and want our ideas for options to get a real good idea what to add to the TS
I have a similar concern...I always go back to the fact that Antonio Brown caught a mere 16 passes in year one and if I had drafted him in Dynasty I would have most likely cut him prior to the next season. In my perfect Dynasty league we would draft and then designate three separate Taxi squads with 5 to 10 slots for rookies and the same for 2nd year and 3rd year players and if you tried to move a 4 or more year player on to the Taxi squad it would block them out completely. This way you keep what you draft and develop your guys and then reap the benefits. In order to streamline this process we would need help from Fleaflicker to make 2nd and 3rd show up next to players names the same way that the little HAT sits next to rookies names.
Initially options were asked for and each year the same options are asked for.
With the addition of taxi squads with no options it has been a huge effort put on the shoulders of the league commishes. We have to set rules on the commish note or have someone strictly watch them. It is very easy to make a mistake and screw things up. I have decided to not have a taxi squad in new leagues because it is too much to control with no options being set
We just released a setting that allows commissioners to limit taxi squads to rookies only. Announcement coming soon but you can test it out now if you want.
This is great...I have already implemented this option in my league. In the coming seasons please consider my previous suggestion of the ability to delegate 3 separate Taxi squads for each team (rookie Taxi, 2nd Yr Taxi, and 3rd Yr Taxi) with a max of 10 players per taxi squad.

You need to add options to go along with taxi squad. For instance
Who can be placed on taxi squad. rookies only / all players
How long can a player remain on taxi squad. 1 year / 2 years / 3 years / and so on
Can a player be placed back on taxi squad after being promoted to the bench or lineup. yes / no

Please add these capabilities. I’d like to be able to introduce taxi squads to my league this year.

the taxi squad does not affect roster positions.They do not count for starters or the bench positions

I agree with what the other's here have mentioned, particularly VuduDawg, on the features and functionality of the taxi squad.

Is the customization be available before the start of the season?

All of the above mentioned customizations are exactly what I’d want for my league. Thanks for a great platform Fleaflicker.

Ori, thats awesome and glad you guys moved forward with that additional tweak on this feature.
But for Baseball, there is no prospect/rookie icon or identifier to allow this to filter and work the same.
Any chance of having a more prospect or rookie updated database to keep icon's next to those eligible players?
loubonzMon 7/1/19 10:49 PM
following up, any thoughts Ori?
fleafounder AdminWed 7/3/19 8:05 PM
Would like to add for baseball but we don't currently track when players are first called up so we don't have rookie designations.
It's on our list, maybe for the start of the 2020 season.
