    Thanks @PhiSlammaJamma and @white lightning for your feedback. I appreciated it.

    I got the wife to create a dummy team which will auto draft. During the season, I will run it according to the following rules:

    - Original drafted starting lineup will remain in place unless a player is listed as Doubtful or Out, or on Bye. In that case, they will be swapped out with the best available starter on the roster according to rankings at that time.
    - A free agent will only be added if there is no positional alternative currently on the team to maintain a full starting lineup, and will only be added after the waiver period closes so as not to mess up anybody's waiver claims. The player added will be the highest ranked player at that position at the time as listed by ESPN on the site.
    - If a starter is replaced in the lineup due to being on bye, that player will be reinserted the next week following the bye.

    I also deleted divisions so as not to give the division with the dummy team any advantage. It is all just one single division now with the top 6 teams making playoffs. The schedule already seemed balanced so I did not regenerate it. Some teams happen to play the dummy team twice (not me) but that couldn't be helped.

    That seems about as fair as I could make it, guys. Feel free to provide any additional suggestions. Thanks.

    Not having my laptop right now is making this difficult on the phone. I get to the league page and then when I try to join draft... it says to download the app, but that's not working.

    Sorry that happened, Plow. Tech issues is definitely the downside of the live draft. Your team still looks competitive, though.

    Hopefully we get started with the hoops stuff with plenty of time to slow draft, maybe early October.

    Okay it's fixed, thanks for letting me know.

    @Fantasma Negro may manage the team after all (invite is sent) but I will still keep an eye on it.

    Chase gave me 55 fp last night. Think that is the most I've ever had. Too bad that is his total for the season too.

    Savoring the moment, because it won't last very long, but my rag tag bunch of underachievers slid into the 6th playoff spot somehow.

    I think you took my place. I don't know how I'm close to .500 after going bust, bust, bust for the first three rounds of the draft.

    Think this season is @fadeaway's season to lose. Great collection of skill players.

    For the LAST TIME, no, I won't help you draft next year. Figure it out on your own.

    Ziggy, Queen! We miss you in the league and we miss the free wins! You know you want to come back, there will probably be a spot for you.
