I'm not a fan of FA. I never am able to sign anyone at a decent price.

Overpay if you want anyone in FA. It's the only way I've ever gotten anyone I wanted, and I'm not enough of a cap specialist to have lots of money available for that.Originally posted by Delandis View PostComment

Or don't chase the absurd contract players and focus on drafting studs. I much prefer to find mid-tier players in FA as you can get them for reasonable rates. FA in this league is filled with people putting up 2 yr, $20 mil/yr contracts and other borderline shenanigans most other places don't have (to this extent).Originally posted by FoosballWizard View Post
It's just like trades, they're a little more wild here.Comment

I missed FA2, but I couldn't have really competed for those guys anyway this year. Great job to Shark and the other teams that did make these signings.
What does "overpaying" mean? It's only an issue if you end up without enough money to field a team. If you have the resources, then use them -- it's not at the exclusion of drafting.
If you don't have the money to compete in FA with teams that have $100M in cap space, then you've decided that the players on your team are worth more than that. Hopefully, that's the right call, or you've overpaid for your own players outside of FA. Which is equally a trap people can fall into.Float likeabutterflysting likeabee.

GAH, nice one Ohio River.
The TE Wooden was the only FA I really wanted.
Gonna have a lot of cap space this year lolComment

Can someone with game access please tell me if Waco signed the Brooklyn CB Nickerson?
BTW, Delandis signing Port City's CB Alonzo Blake was the value signing of this offseason. I almost cried when I saw he signed before his desired stage.Comment

Yes, Nickerson signed with Waco.Comment

Thanks garion!Comment

I had no idea we could submit preferences for the entire draft. That might be fun :P
FA DT Dale Dean is an interesting one. You'd think a guy with 70+ bars in both RD and PRT would put up some nice numbers, but it doesn't look like he has. Lack of strength bars and PD?Last edited by Aston; 08-17-2016, 03:48 PM.Float likeabutterflysting likeabee.

Why in the world can't I have a player gain weight? Especially a 22 year old rookie. Get him in the weight room, give him some weight gainer, and gain 10-15 lbs. Geez!Comment

Some guys can't gain (or cut) weight because of their body type.Originally posted by Matt View PostComment

Usually it is about 75% of my rookies, that can't gain or lose.Originally posted by Rob View PostComment
