2023 FF Original Discussion Thread

Happy to take your word on the changes whether or not it affects the result of the match.

I had a quick look late last night and I think it’s thebench doing it’s shuffles with 0s that were named on the field.
It shows up in the team change logs.

I think I lose by a few points assuming Dunlop noticed thebench shuffles.
Ballard + Macdonald vs. Moore + 20 = 18 + 8 v 4 + 20 = 26 v 24
Depending on rounding, I should have reached 1147~ ish.

Where do you see these logs? I’m still skeptical on my team lineups and how they get set sometimes.

It’s an admin feature.


It looks pretty messy but it looks like thebench made the replacements in one big hit across the league.

@Blummers32 - Bye rounds means everything is done via spreadsheet vs. on Bench, so your scores weren’t affected as your squad was already inputted. Bench usually makes those changes at 3am, but for some reason made them at 7.30pm instead.


Final Scores

redbull 1330 defeated wimmera 1127
You Shall Be Smoten 1216 defeated Blummers 1210
wezza 1153 lost to Trotters 1423
The_Mad_Bomber 1090 lost to Allblack 1339
Awesome Scotty 1327 lost to Crazy Bomber 1492
topdon 1180 lost to Stoops 1518
Jefferson 1178 lost to JBaller 1242
Dunlop 1634 defeated saladin 1260
Alber_Goodthur 1258 lost to Windy Dill 1416

Not sure there’d be too occasions where a win-less team this far into a season, puts up a score that only 4 teams would’ve beaten. Incidentally was also Dill’s best in 2 years

This year’s trade period will close tomorrow at 9pm - the thread is automatically programmed to lock at 9.01pm. I won’t be online until Wednesday to sort out any issues, so please ensure you leave yourself a window to post your confirmed trade. Don’t rely on your trade partner to post your trade, its better if there’s 2 posts then 0.

Available Players are also updated

I’ve made a trade with YSB which is a player for draft picks. I think only trades where players move in both directions are able to be confirmed through The Bench. Should I delist the player I’m trading so YSB can pick him up as a free agent?

I’ll process this one in the next hour.

Edit…
Trade done.

Awesome to see both Smoten and topdon involved in this year’s trade period.

Speaking of: @You_Shall_Be_Smoten, Blummers has already allocated Steele to your squad, but you’ll need to delist a player as you’re running 1 over.

Can I LTI Joel Jeffrey, please @Dunlop ?

Yep

Thanks @Dunlop I’ll drop Corey Warner

FAs have been processed.

I was expecting more FA bids to be honest.

And can someone please delist a decent player? I’ve been holding onto the first waiver choice for almost a few months now and I’m yet to see anyone even half decent.

With Menegola returning from LTI, I delisted Hayden Crozier. Sorry forgot to post (but he is out for the season or there abouts anyhow)

Edit: had to be an active player so Harvey Gallagher has been let go

For some reason i couldn’t sign Rohan, but could delist Greene. Would like to have Rohan available this week.

He should be on your list now. Not sure what the deal is with the website closing free agents well before games begin.

Having said that…
I completely forgot there was a game tonight.

For some reason one of my B positions is locked and I’m unable to swap in a player.

It appears a rolling lockout has begun. Weird.
@Dunlop?

There’s a game tonight so make the other adjustments and if needed I can replace players in your 18 before tomorrows game.

I’ve found the problem and emailed them.

The rolling lockout has started because there was no fixture released for Rds 16-24 before the start of the season, which meant those rounds were set to lock at their default of 12pm on game day (why something miles away from a night game start time is unclear). They evidently never altered this once Rds 16-23 were released and inputted into their system.

I’ve looked at all teams and filled any blank spots with players, so those teams affected should now be able to use those spots as normal, albeit with the hassle of rolling lockout protocols being triggered already.

@Dunlop I can’t seem to make the change as my players are locked for this swap but can I please replace Cottrell from my mid position with Jack Crisp, leaving my back slot open to take Broad’s score from my emergencies.

Thanks
