GWJCFFL Week Two Fantasy Plans for Both *Fox Updated*

It's Friday so I though a quick update was in order. Fox is (supposedly) committed to having everything required working before the week two games start. The site is slow as hell right now but they do show a transaction list and other pages are loading so I'd say there is hope for it yet.

Keep your Yahoo and Fox starting line-up the same so we don't have any drama once we decide to stick with one or the other. The Yahoo situation is ok but not ideal since the schedule has me playing Elysium AGAIN in week two when I've already played him on week one.

I'd love to, but I still can't set my lineup on Fox. I submit the page and it 404's. Fox also promised before the season began that we'd have a great fantasy football experience.

Can we make FA moves again now?

The #2 league is still broken - no week 1 points posted, no standings updated. So FOX is definitely still not working correctly yet.

Everyone needs to check their rosters. I have a roster discrepancy between the two sites.

Before FOX died, I made a move where I dropped William Green and picked a player up.

Now, on FOX, I no longer have Green, but the player I picked up isn't there.

On Yahoo, I have a move dumping Green for someone, but it's sitting on waivers waiting to happen.

We could cancel the week's waiver moves, and that would be OK. I see Stric dropped players in Yahoo and probably has waiver moves waiting to happen, so...

Fox site seems to be running good at the moment, I could make line-changes and everything. What a luxury!

Again - we have two sites running...iffy at bests. I'm going to stick with the 'Certis plan' and ask to augment it. Other than a trade, if you pick up a player on waivers...you should lose him...and the guy you dropped (not saying in the past - I'd suggest Certis give you Green back). Call it the 'DUMAS' rule

It goes like this - Not everyone has has success accessing both sites. We have two parallel sites, running, so I pick up free agent A on Fox, and you pick up Free Agent A on yahoo...who wins. Confusion reigns, and I'm really kinda confused that you veterans would try this stuff...at all...

That any owner x is going to try to get a leg up by pulling an waiver move in the current state of the sites...well...you're right that I call FOUL!

Come on guys...settle down. Your team WILL NOT fall if you don't get a waiver pick. Your life will not end. AND...the player will still be there next week.

I for one vote that NO waiver moves be allowed until next week and everyone has their teams and lineups in place...and for those 'reading challenged' - Might I add that NO is as in NONE.

You have my vote...

comment, so I know you aren't trying to screw anyone.

Just trying to make the point, that I'm sitting with an 0-1 record, so I pick high in the waiver process, and I'm still ok with what Certis said in the other forum...NO waiver picks. So why is anyone trying to do roster FA/Waiver picks until Certis gives us the all clear?

I agree with that. I think I'll pick William Green back up in the FOX league so that my roster matches the Yahoo one (and puts me back to the state I was in before making roster moves this week), and then send his ass back to free agency next week when we decide on a site and open free agency again.

EDIT: Actually, Adding and Dropping players is currently disabled/not working on FOX. Hooray half-working site!

They look like they've had some sort of rollback or something. My Benson for McCareins trade with Legion has gone through (on Fox, not Yahoo) but I no longer have McCardell.

Yeah. My point isn't that I HAD to have waiver moves this week, but rather that I already had done something and now had an issue with rosters not matching between the two league sites, post-FOX free agency rollback.

I can live without them just fine this week. I'm just talking about my rosters not matching, and making sure everyone checks themselves to make sure they don't have discrepancies after the rollback.

I would return William Green to my team over at FOX, but it ain't working right now. But since he won't get near my lineup this week anyway, it probably won't make any difference.

I can't see my fantasy team at all at F*cksports website.

Oops I meant Foxsports website.

It blows, the format blows let's just move already.

"FOX Fantasy Football powered by MSN is currently unavailable."

That sh*t sure didn't take long.

New update from Fox:

Dear Fantasy Football Participant,

The entire FOXSports.com on MSN team regrets the difficulties you have had with the service and has been working 24/7 to resolve them. We've identified and corrected an issue that was affecting rosters.

What we did to fix the problem:

# We reset all recent transactions to put your roster back to where it was on Tuesday morning 7 a.m. (ET) plus changes made earlier today.
# We removed players from your lineup that were not in your roster as of Tuesday morning.
# For those leagues that normally lock transactions prior to the weekend, this week we will allow transactions until Sunday noon (ET).

What you need to do: Please check your lineups and reset them if necessary. We are also investigating reports of problems with scoring from week 1 and expect to notify you after corrections are made.

You are the true fans for whom we've designed this game, and we appreciate your patience.

Sincerely,
MSN and FOXSports.com

I can do line changes and such fine right now, if they remain stable through and after week two, we'll stick with them. Good to have Yahoo in place and ready as backup regardless.

Yep, waiver pick-ups work too guys and there is a transaction list on the main page now.

And yet, STILL no scores or standings in league #2. It's now Saturday.

Until that's dealt with, I will not trust the FOX site to be "working". Even though it's not an issue with this league, to me it signals the fact that problems remain unresolved and could easily screw things up later.

*points to his aforementioned roster discrepency between the two sites and wonders what to do*

Our trade will go through on Yahoo. Don't know about McCardell.

I have a discrepancy too, Wiggins on Fox and Witten on Yahoo. I honestly feel like Fox will get their sh*t sorted and previous weeks played will be dealt with.

Their letter there says they are still working on some scoring issues.

So what do I need to do to replace my kicker? A court order? Seriously, please tell me.

So what do I need to do to replace my kicker? A court order? Seriously, please tell me.

1) Make sure you're signed in, look to the top of the page. If it says "Sign in" then click it. If it says Sign Out, you're fine.
2) Go to your team
3) Click on the "Players" link at the top
4) Player sort by Ks (kickers), make sure it's set to "all available" and click the filter button
5) Under the Action column, click on "add" beside the player you want
6) Select who on your team you will drop to make room for him
7) Submit

Works pretty much the same as most league sites.

You're so fair and balanced with FOX. It's so cute.

Are you trying to make fun of me?

I meant do I need to make the same move in both leagues? Am I allowed to make a FA tranaction now?

Are you trying to make fun of me?

Yes, writing detailed steps on how to pick up player is my way of making fun of you. Or maybe I was trying to be helpful

Try to keep both sites as close together as you can in terms of line-up.

This blows. I don't really have time for this. Trying to navigate thru the process for the league Legion set up for the 2nd league is like trying to give yourself a root canal.

OK, I navagated in, made my lineup changes, sent them in. My computer clock shows 12:56 PM. I get en error messege telling me that I cannot do that, the lineups "lock" at 12:55. 1 minute. I sh*t you not.

I am done for 2005. I quit. The only fun I had was on draft night, and it's been sh*t since then. I don't play games for this much frustration.

See y'all in 2006.

Or, you could ask me for help, because in this league, the commissioner can fix EVERYTHING.

What lineup do you want?

*sigh*. I can't stay mad at you.

Harrington, Mcardle, Wayne, Tumor, Baltimore, Arizona's kicker, Shockey, Pitt's RB and Bell from Denver

So which league is "official"? I would like to know who I am playing.

Whichever one Legion is winning in.

So, oh all-powerful commissioner, why does it still show my whole team as benched?

I would like to point out that you guys are giving me hours of entertainment. A part of me hopes it gets sorted out and another part me hopes things get progressively worse and Swampy goes on a manhunt for Legion .

Swampy - It'll reflect by tonight.
