6 Viable Options For 2012 FAAB In The NFFC In 2012

I will vote A - I don't like the idea of multiple FAAB bids per week - let's do this one time and get past it.

D.

But I would prefer the second FAAB to be on Saturday night. Gives a full day to digest the official injury report coming out on Friday and 1 more day of late news (who made the team flight, who didn't, etc.).

maybe you should take the two ideas that are receiving the most votes, eliminate all the other options, and bring those 2 up for another vote.

A & D. Great discussion, I even changed my opinion. I like A for the reasons Chad pointed out. One and done is best and skill is a factor on Wednesdays. Not so much with two FAAB.

However, I will say that philosophically there are two ways to cut this:

1. If you really think that every NFL player should be available for bidding EVERY week of the NFFC season, then B and C have to be eliminated. Those two options prevent people from picking up players BEFORE the Thursday game, so those options are a non-starter for folks who believe EVERY player should be available to pick up for that week's games. Right?

2. All other options remain in play if you want all players to be picked up via FAAB and started that week. If you don't care about this, then B and C should definitely get your love.

So the first cut of options would involve whether B and C are legitimate choices for the majority of owners. Are they? Could we all live with some players not being available for those NFFC weeks?

D 1st and E 2nd

These are really the only options in my mind that would protect the integrity of this competition.

Teams that could not make FA moves and lose their #1 QB/#1 RB that would have played on a Thursday night would create a huge competitive unbalance.

Furthermore...the level of competition is so high that one loss like this could very likely cost a playoff spot

Keeping a level playing field is paramount for all competitors

Greg, a question on the Friday only option (C). If your only kicker gets hurt Sunday and is playing on Thursday, does the software allow you to leave him on bench for the Thursday game and then drop and replace him during Friday waivers for a Sunday player? I wasn't sure if the software required a valid lineup for Thursday and would force you to leave your injured kicker in the starting lineup as the game is played and take a zero. I can't remember how it works. (And can it be changed if it does?)

Looks like they narrowed it down to 2 choices across the street.

1. Wednesday only
2. Wednesday with ALL players included, and another one Friday

I have little doubt that the luck element is going to increase dramatically this year.
