I don’t think this is a case of remembering to set a lineup though tbh.
But I agree. I think it’s perfectly fair for the commish to force change the guys lineup but giving a refund because you feel cheated based on the fact that he NEEDS to win to get in and someone else isn’t competing for it to happen? Can’t see that being a possible outcome here.


Literally all i've been asking is play 4 players from mnf in the out player slots so it doesnt affect anyone.

Would there be a different outcome had Swish played players from his bench? Say the top 4 projected points players.

I’m not in the league but I’d vote that the Commish should manually simulate Swish having a proper starting lineup.

To expect either the commish or anyone else to recognize this in advance and raise this issue is unrealistic. The answer is in getting proper managers in your league.


most of the players on bench had bye weeks, etc, and 4 guys were OUT on his team, he couldve def waivered a winning team as the team hes facing, zero, would of 100% lost had he even put together most likely any other combination of players.

Which literally effects everyone in the league who sits at the 5th-9th position as Zero would most likely miss the playoffs entirely had he lost.

Thats why I keep saying just make the playoffs for the top 9, maybe sit out 1st and 2nd seeds or whatever...but its whatever.. im just trying to stoke the fire to my benefit and lmao'ing with a bowl of popcorn....however it is pretty booty, cause swish not setting an actual line up literally screws with so much.

My unsolicited thoughts here. I agree with straightedge. Isn't this only being treated as a big deal because of the week and the known impact on playoff implications? What if this has happened in week 6, and a guy forgot to set his lineup properly? It could have the same impact on playoffs in the end, but I can't imagine anyone would be calling for intervention (assuming no collusion)


In week 6 it would have been an honest mistake on the managers behalf. This late in the season, assuming he’s been ruled out of the playoff, the fact that he didn’t set his lineup is likely due to neglect.

Can do what the NFL did to the Bengals last year. Nullify the game and install some stupid ass coin flip decision for 1st round home field advantage and then force them to play on the road in the playoffs.

I'm not sure I fundamentally agree with neglect vs mistake being a key distinguishing point. It sucks that it happened, but I don't think it's fair to assume intent from the absentee manager. Also, doesn't this happen even in the league all the time? Team A needs Team B to beat Team C to make the playoffs, but Team B's season is over so they start the practice squad RB and the third string QB and lose a winnable game. The way to avoid this situation is to win more during the other 13 weeks.

Some years, you're the guy starting against the guy the week after he missed playoffs and his QB got hurt. Other years, you miss because of it. Just another element of variance in a game with a ton of it to begin with

Didn't realize this, sorry. Ignore my previous comment if he's been consistently inactive. I don't know the exact situation but there's a difference too if he's missing a guy because of a lot of injuries stars vs just keeping active players on the bench. I can see the justification for missing a kicker or defense or something to keep a good, injured player on the bench
