I thought I posted this before, but I cannot find it. I cannot understand why no other fantasy site does this, but every fantasy site out there has the worst waiver workflow possible. A real game changer would be to allow me to simply have an add list and a drop list.
1) I select the players I'm willing to drop from my roster (For example, say I select 5 players from my roster). I can re-order them later if I want.
2) I select all the players I'd be interested in adding from the waiver list of players available. I can re-order them, put bids on them, etc.
That's it for the user! Done! No conditions, having to put in a ga-zillion waivers!
3) When waivers run, it simply goes through my both my add list and drop list, dropping the top player in my drop list and adding the top player in my add list, until I do not have any players left to drop. So, in the example, above, I would, at most, end up with 5 new players, assuming they were available or not picked up by another team.
This would be a real game changer! I have to do waivers for 5 different leagues, 2 Fleaflicker, 2 Yahoo, and 1 Fantrax. The way everyone does waivers makes it such a headache. Make life great again by streamlining waivers!
Great idea! What is certain to be an issue in some (many) leagues though is roster restrictions. For example, I am in two leagues which cap the number of rbs, wrs, tes, etc that each team can have. And I am sure there are other leagues where this would break things in other ways. It would be more difficult for fleaflicker to implement, but logic to check these restrictions could eliminate a lot of this, but it could get complicated.
