Thanks for the reminder! Having only ever participated in Fantasy Football leagues, I had no idea this required daily (as opposed to weekly) maintenance. I'll confess I kind of don't think it's realistic I'll be able to stay on top of this every day, so I guess apologies to those of you in the Western Conference who won't get to benefit as much from my mismanagement.

Hi, everyone! Don't forget to set your daily lineups! . . . You can do it as far ahead as you want!

Re: that, I assume you can't trade players in advance, right? My problem seems to be that I end up with too many players with games on the same day, then no players on the next one, and the only way to fix that is to trade them, but then those trades apply to all games going forward. There's no way around that, right? (I.e., you can schedule your starting lineup in advance, but only from the same set of players.)

You can set it once a week and, barring injury, you'll be mostly fine.

I don't think so. If you can, I haven't figured it out.

Based on the number of players available and the number of roster spots we all have, it doesn't make a ton of sense to add/drop players trying to follow the schedule. This week you might be overloaded on a day, but the next week it'll likely be more spread out. Trying to avoid having more than two players from a given team seems to give the best scheduling balance, but after that, just try to assemble the best top to bottom roster that you can and let it play out.
