Set Your Starting Lineups Before Saturday's Game

According to ESPN.com, "The NFL game between the Titans and Dolphins is being moved from Sunday to Saturday at 1 p.m. ET because of concerns about Hurricane Ivan's hitting the Miami area."

With that in mind, make sure you activate any Dolphin or Titan into your starting lineup at least five minutes before Saturday's starting time. This is a crazy first week of the NFFC season, but everyone is dealing with the same craziness. It's good that we allow you to change your starting lineup and activate anyone five minutes prior to the start of that game, but make sure to get your Colts and Patriots activated before tonight's game, Dolphins and Titans before Saturday's games, the rest before Sunday's games and Packers and Panthers before Monday's games! WHEW!!!

Good luck everyone.

Greg, I understand the rule of 5 minutes before the game...but ummm the way this reads I could start a colt in Flex and then change on Monday to a Packer in Flex....When do the line ups actually go final and which points count might be a good review here....

THanks

when a player's game starts they lock, so if you start a colt in the flex, once the colt game starts the player (and the flex) locks.

That would be a pretty big hole in the system, don't you think?

What Ico said. If you activate any player as your starter before the start of that game, the system locks him in place. We are allowing changes to your starting lineup if you have multiple players going on Sunday afternoon, for instance, or even Monday night, and you still need time to decide who to start in those final positions. There is no chance to "not start" a player once you have started him.
