Quick question. I was going through all of my players last night and there were some that I wanted to drop and pick up a FA. I dropped one player and then offered a contract to a FA and it said that I would know if I got him after the next stage is simmed.

So obviously I had to drop someone to make room for the FA, but now I am out of a player for that spot. I wanted to drop multiple people, but I can't do that because I wouldn't have enough to cover all of my positions for my next game.

What is the best process I need to go through when I want to drop people during the season and pick up FA's in their place?

You have a few options ...

1) Add/Drop as many people as you'd like and let the AI redo your depth chart for a week.
2) Only do 1 or 2 at a time so that you can still do your depth charts and let the new guys be extra.
3) PM me with any changes to your depth chart you want before the sim.
4) Ask for a midweek. This allows you to make transactions in one file and then make whatever gameplan decisions in the next. Please use this option only when needed. It is an option though.

Hooper, thanks so much for the response! A couple of questions for specific points above which I will number based on that:

1) Are the FA's I am trying to pick up added to my team and my depth chart reworked by the AI before the game is simmed? I currently changed the setting so the AI does not pick up players to fill out my roster or change my depth chart. Is that something I would need to turn back on to make this work?

2) This is more than likely the best and easiest solution once I get my team to where I like it.

3) So with this answer, I am assume that FA signings are done before the games are simmed, and you are able to edit my depth chart with the FA signing if I tell you how exactly I want it. Do I have that correct?

4) I've seen the midweek thread and I've seen it mentioned that it is overused. It does make sense if a big trade goes down or if it's a big game coming up and you just have to get that player and change your gameplan. I definitely won't request that unless it is absolutely imperative.

I know I've had a lot of questions and I truly appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer so quickly and thoroughly. I'm really excited about being in this league and being a part of it for years to come.

1) Yes it's before. No you don't have to change settings.

2) Yes, this is probably the most common option.

3) Yes.

4) It's out there if you need it. If you want to make a bunch of transactions, or don't have all your positions covered. I just don't want it to become an every week thing.

Question for anyone who knows:

I'm checking out team rosters and looking to offer trades to some teams. Is there a list of team owners so I may PM them trade offers?

I've thought about an owners page recently. Someday. Until then, I try to keep the latest roll call thread up-to-date.

Perfect! Thanks Hooper!

I was picking up FA's and dropping players last night, as well as, adjusting gameplan settings. When I was finished I exported my game so it would save to the league.

I came back a little later to look at some more stuff, and noticed when I started up my multiplayer game, none of the changes I made were saved.

Is there a way to save your multiplayer game when you export it or do I just have to make sure I do every little thing all in one sitting?

[Hoosier]

Nope. It is a bit of a second chance. I use that quirk in the game often to undo changes.

Thanks Hoosier. I'll have to start keeping track of everything I do in case I need to redo it
