Waiver wire ?, Which is better in your opinion? Waivers that reset every week or ones that roll...

Treff,

That is an over simplification. I have no problem with leagues who determine draft order based on the previous year's results. That is what every league does. Resetting waivers treats every week like a new season. Pro leagues do not have difference making talent available every week either. It isn't that we know better, it is not an apples to apples comparison. If the goal is to make the game as close to real life football as possible, then we need to have a 32 team league with 50 man rosters.

True on all counts. .yet I still prefer it, and its still my reasoning for liking that one better

That is true for a year. After you do it once, everybody is more or less on the same page.

My first FAAB league was a 15 team baseball league with bloggers from a bunch of different fantasy sites. Just about everyone had more experience than me. After a couple weeks of seein the patterns, I was 100% comfortable.

Also, I play in 2 FAAB football leagues. In 1, the owners spend their money aggressively, bidding on any usable player. In the other, everyone sits back and waits to blow their load in that 1 big acquisition. Different bid strategies are required to navigate those 2 leagues, so just because someone has played FAAB before does not necessarily give them a big advantage.

Well here's the thing though, I played it one year, didn't really get the nuances, failed miserably, and have hated it ever since. Those peeps exposed one year without fully getting it just might not ever be open to it again..case in point. .me
