FANTASY CHANGES

Leafy Grove·Jun 12, 2016·2 votes·307 views

Since the league went to Bo3 and Bo2 they really need to allow multiple lock-ins throughout the weekend. It's not bad if your fantasy team all start for the whole weekend, but what if they start one day and get subbed the next your stuck losing points that could have been gained if you would have been able to change your team around. If the league is going to stick to this standard of play. Fantasy needs to be reworked to allow changes to the starting lineup aswell.

Any other changes you have noticed that need to be done to fantasy to work better with the new standard?

That's not how I expected the poll to turn out. I guess there are more people that like the nuances/complexity of drafting a team around potential substitutes than I anticipated.

Although, it's not the format change that has brought about substitutes - they existed in previous splits too. The culture of substitutes (for variety, rather than necessity) has been growing over the last few splits. This new format will certainly encourage the trend even further, as teams use their substitutes to adapt to their opponents, but it didn't cause it.

Personally, I like having to take into account the possibility of subs.

Yea really wasn't expecting that kind of turn out either. I guess people like losing out on points.

I wouldn't say they like losing out on points. It's a gamble, sure, and they may lose points. But it adds an extra level of complexity to how you draft & trade. Do you go with a player with higher potential that might be subbed, or do you choose a player in a more secure position that might net you fewer points? It's an interesting conundrum.
