Anything of note? Is it just deeper prospects? High School players? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is way better to have a combo faab and waiver (if you bid $0 it works just like regular waivers) having played in both formats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would typically add player(s) on days where there were only a handful of games, that way I maximize the 162 games played allowed. if I want to add a player I can bid $0? I've never done a league with this, was thinking it was like auction bidding where it had to be $1 minimum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I typically make about 200 moves a year in those roto leagues. If you get the player for $0 you go to the back of the line waiver seed wise just like the old non-FAAB leagues. If you get a player for $1 and up you keep your waivers seeding and don't go to the back of the line. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you bid $0 and no one else does you keep your waiver priority, if you and another person bid $0 it goes to the highest priority and the winner then moves to 12(or how ever many teams in the league) at least this is how my yahoo pro basketball league works.

That's interesting. I don't think the baseball one works like that because my $0 bids sent me to the back of the line whether anyone else bid $0 or not. I'll have to check it this season and see if they made a change. If they did that would be sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There will probably be some $0 adds where this may occur but for the most part its rare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are 16 teamers so everyone is out there casting nets with $0 bids on fringe players all the time. So guess it depends on the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyman75 4,886 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Are these $0 bids made daily? I’m in a league that has no FA pickups. Everyone is picked up thru waivers, but waivers run only twice a week. Can’t lie...I hate that. Lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume a private league like yours could still do twice a week and still use the old waiver system and not faab. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But under custom reports, you can select weekly scoring for all teams. After the report generates for 2020, you can use the drop down box to select 2019 for the report format. But this may not be what you are looking for. The standard export to Excel should be at the bottom. ACTION AVAIL PLAYER AB R H 1B 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS AVG OBP SLG FPTS Bitchk...

Probably, but you can see the other bids under the FAAB Bids tab. Only on PC not on app. I pointed out a flaw in this to Yahoo years ago and it is semi-fixed. In the past you could just throw $0 bids out there on players you may not be interested in and other teams are and if you already got your guy and couldn't fit a guy on your roster it would still calculate a tie with another team and drop that teams waiver order to end of the line. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not finding any yet. this is what they sent me; Thank you for contacting Yahoo Sports. I understand your concern regarding converting into a cash league. As of right now, cash leagues are not yet available. This will change once Pro leagues get released. We do not have an exact date for this yet, however, we are aiming for mid-February.
