FAAB w/ CBS

[Lippy225]

Guys- i have a technical question regarding FAAB and waivers. I am also dealing with an owner who has a similar question and I don't know how to answer it. For years we had just used the worst record for order of waivers. You put in who you wanted and who you wanted to drop and could put in multiple claims and move them up or down depending on what your priority was.

 

We started usinf FAAB this year. And I guess the best way to describe the problem is with a question one owner emailed me:

 

 

Why does your highest bid for a player always have to be first in your pending transactions list?

 

For example:

 

If I want a TE I’m willing to spend $3 on for Player A

Why does that get put second on the list to a WR I’m willing to spend $6 on for Player A?

 

I want the TE first but am not willing to spend as much money on him as I would for a WR

If that TE is taken by someone else who offers more money, then I want to try to get the WR using the same Player A as a drop…

 

Why can’t I move pending transactions up and down depending on priority???

 

1. Does anyone else have a problem like this, or see the problem with it?

2. Is this something that I can address and do something about?

3. Is this this a CBS thing or across the board using FAAB on other sites.

Thanks

This is how nearly every league I've seen or heard does it. MFL does it this way too with no option for "cheapest winning price" Ebay style.

 

He can use the same Player A in multiple drops, and if the first one doesn't process the second one will. If the first one goes, the second will fail if he has the same drop. Here's how I do it:

 

Add Jones, drop Smith $5

Add Williams, drop Smith $5

Add Williams, drop Johnson $5

 

The highest price will always go first in order.
