We are starting a dynasty league and are thinking about using Fleaflicker instead of ESPN like we have for previous redraft leagues. I'm setting up the league, and there are several settings ESPN has available that Fleaflicker does not. I was wondering if there's any chance any of these are in process for next year or at least being discussed/worked on:
FAAB Waivers - ESPN allows me to set the time of day I want FAAB waivers to process at. Fleaflicker waivers apparently process at 5 AM - 8 AM Eastern time, which is incredibly early for me (I'm on Pacific time), but is honestly incredibly early for everyone. My ESPN FAAB waivers process at 10 PM Eastern time and I was hoping to set it at the same setting for this league.
Add/Drops - ESPN has a setting I think is great: if a player is picked up and then dropped before 24 hours have passed, that player does not pass through waivers, but instead goes right back to free agency. This seems like a better way to prevent people from playing keepaway from their opponent with free agents than locking the player a day before game time. I usually drop my kicker each week and pick up a new one near game time, but I sometimes change my mind on which kicker I want, and if they lock I wouldn't have that option. This could also screw me if the kicker I pick up then gets hurt in warmups.
Number of keepers - The max appears to be 15. We are using a dynasty format that allows a person to keep as many players as they can fit under their salary cap. Is there a reason I cannot set this to the same size as my roster size (24)?
Tiebreakers - There are disappointingly few options available for both matchup tiebreakers and playoff tiebreakers. We were hoping for our matchup tiebreakers to be, in order: starting QB points, highest starting non-QB points, leave it as a tie, but I can't even really get close to simulating this.
Anyway, I'm sure there are other things, but these are the main ones. Thanks for your help...obviously I'm not expecting this site to be catered to just me, but these seem like settings others might like to be able to adjust as well.
Thanks for thinking about the move. Right now waivers are at that fixed time weekly. We understand it's not conducive to everyone so we are always thinking about ways of adjusting it to accommodate your time zone. Right now, however, it's not likely to be changed, but there is always a possibility as we see how it can be a nuisance to those on different time zones.
In terms of adds and drops, you have options if you wish to lock recently added players or not. If you head to League->Settings and hover over your options or look in the Owner's Manual it should help - fleaflicker.com
As rangerdave said, you can edit your roster total at League>Settings>Edit Roster Requirements>Custom>Total>Go to 40 - then go back to Edit Keeper Rules and set to 40 or what you desire.
Right now the tiebreakers we have are the only ones you can use. We're always thinking of new ones and you can e-mail us suggestions.
We hope you use the site and we're free to answer your questions directly and help at fleaflicker.com
