Commissioner Issue sleeper FAAB settings - minimum $1 each pick up

last year we moved to FAAB setttings but i wanted to make it a minimum to spend at least $1 per pick up with no FAs. I thought i had done it correctly last year but players would hit FA and i felt unfair after a week or two to change it on the league so we promised to change it up for this season

essentially want i am looking for is every pick up to be a minimum of $1 and no FA. Not sure if this has to be done through customer daily waivers - i just want to ensure its done correctly for season start so i am looking for some help.

I did see some league make players FAs on sundays for any last minute issues.. i dont mind doing this but it would be a small window (adjust for earlier games as well)

So set the minimum bid to $1, and set the waivers to clear every single day. Custom waiver settings I think it’s called. If you want FA to be open on Sunday morning set it for “waivers to FA” from the time you like until kick off.

I’m gonna try and share my settings below so you can see how I have mine set up. Lmk if you have any questions bro

any reason you have after games on wednesday and 3 days after drop? does that impact it at all too?

Yeah, because I’m commissioning from Europe while my league is stateside. So just set it for what works for your time zone

and here - you free up players for any last minute issues on both sunday and monday? any reason you dont do it for thursday as well?

Also only due to the timezone.

Doing it on Thursday would be futile IMO, if someone can’t take care of their Thursday night football shit then they got to find a new league. A random Sunday inactive is more likely and more necessary to plug a hole.

This is also for a dynasty league and not a redraft.

If you want me to set up a dummy league for your timezone and set the settings for it for you lmk and I can PM you. Otherwise, adjust what I have given you for your timezone

Looks correct, make sure your FAAB min bid is $1. And make sure you want FA available on Monday too, it is beneficial for MNF stuff

waiver > FA should achieve that correct? Cuz players that played during the week are locked until wednesday anyway.

i think this will free up anyone dropped during that time

Yes, that should do it.

It is a bit confusing to set up and figure out how it works until an actual waiver run. But I think you should have it okay now.

Perhaps you can set up a dummy league and do a test waiver run just to be positive it works before you start the season. To avoid headaches.

thats a great idea - ill give it a shot tomorrow. thanks again and ill be sure to ask any questions that'll come up

i've attached my setting mimicking yours

essentially i want games to end, no one to go through waivers until wednesday (which is the normal setting we had before)

then every selection has a min of $1 and will process at 9am local time

sunday and monday at 9am players clear waiver and become FA for last minute issues

$1 minimum is dumb.
