Dang, a $20 hit before the market even opens.
Of course, I kind of expected it.
3 Bye week players that I will need to sell right away.

I suffered a $10 hit, but I can't figure out why. My only bye week player is Gates, who appears to be down only $5 from the price he was listed at yesterday.

I'm only down $5 from Gates. Contemplating holding him, but not sure if I can afford it knowing he's going to fall even more.

Actually I have Edwards too. He's down like $7 or so too. Guess I had more value than I thought.

Only buy so far was Adrian Peterson.
Don't see any others yet.

Everybody is being dumped.
Don't understand this.

I didn't get Rattay or Vinny as the spread was too wide. I did lose about $40 in the first 5 mins, but part of that was the transaction fees. If you look at the price change list on the trading page, it's covered in red. I'm guessing everyone is dumping their entire roster first. I got AP at the opening bell (after I sold a player first) and he was already up almost $4 before I could get him.

Tomlinson was down about $10 overnight.
He was still worth it this week!

I wish they would learn from their baseball experience and get player affiliations updated quicker.
Testaverde is still listed on NE. I've seen other that are wrong as well.

No kidding Guru. I had a nice week and still nowhere near the top scores. If you didn't do well this past week, you probably fell big time. I got Gates thinking that his points would be worth the hit. Same thinking about Clark the previous week. Guess not. My Defense has been a huge bust this year. I got the Bears last week. Not as bad as my Bengals pick agains tthe Browns but still big negatives.

Now the "green" are rising. Several gainers at the top of the price change list. Guess most selel their players first then look to see who is gaining before jumping on.

Somehow, I think people are just taking their money out and waiting until tomorrow to do most of the buying.
Seems to look that way.

Seems some are profit-taking early. I've lost $3 on Collins already. But holding him. He's still near the top price changers so people will be buying him. Most of my buying will be done tomorrow. I'm still down $25 on the day. I lose a lot of cash on Tuesdays.

Yeah I saw that but mine isn't right.
I lost my shirt yesterday before gaining about lal of my cash back last night. Then today, there goes that shirt again. But this time am not gaining it back. I couldn't be around all morning and all of my gains from yesterday turned to losses today. In total, I'm down about $40 or so thus far this week.

My trade history looks OK.
What do you think is wrong with yours, Ref? Be aware that the format is completely different than the trade history page in baseball. This is set up more like a stock market account trading summary statement. And it's sorted in order of purchase trade date, not sell date. So you might have to go back several pages to find a recent sell transaction.

It's really getting tough to make money. I'm down about $5 from my peak on Sunday/Monday despite doing everything I can to make money.

[19] - J: at first, I though you were kidding. But then I realized that maybe you thought the $25 bye week bonus was to be repeated every bye week.
That wasn' my interpretation. That was simply a one-shot deal, principally designed to shut up the rampant whining (IMHO).

I'm down $80 from two weeks ago. Down $50 this morning alone. Having to get Crayton because I couldn't afford the WR I wanted cost me big time.

Guru - I will be making a donation to the site as soon as things calm down a little. I have been insanely crazy busy the last couple weeks, and will be for the rest of this week also. Just didn't want you to think I forgot about it. I will just need some details on how to go about it at some point.

Hate when my roster keeps getting benched and i have to re-activate them. Can only imagine the outcry if that happened and I couldn't get back to activate them before the games started.

Happened to me twice
Make sure you are only logged in on one computer and only have one window / tab open.
That appears to be what causes the issue.

Happened to me once on a Sunday shortly before the 4pm games. Fortunately I caught it and restored the lineup. Hasn't happened since then.

Man oh man. Had Addai in mind this week but got scared off with the splitting time stuff and switched him to Parker. Have had Roeth, but seriously considered switching him to Anderson and just couldn't pull the trigger. My WRs aren't too bad thus far and I wrestled with them big time as well as my TE. I just didn't have the money to go to Gates as I wanted so settled for Heath Miller--though there were 3 others I looked at hard. I've taken a bath in Roster Value in both baseball and now recently in football.
