82 Games? including the Playoffs?

So let's say i was to use Nowitzki. And i use him in all 82 games of regular season (if he plays in all), can not i use him in the playoffs? (Is there even a fantasy during the playoffs? (Because it stops in Euroleague fantasy for example).

So if it goes all the way i must seek to distribute games correctly and save let's say 15 games for the playoffs?

How many players are in the lineup? 5? 8?
What does 'Util' mean? 'BN?

Must i change the lineup daily? If Dallas plays today and Spurs play tomorrow i can use Nowitzki today and Duncan tomorrow for example? I guess i have to check the schedule daily. Euroleague Fantasy is easy, just once a week.

As for the trade, no thanks

ArkadiosV2 = Panathinaikos by the way

My trade proposal to GINEBRA:
I'll give you Lamar Odom for Pau Gasol

My trade offer to mvblair:
I'll give you AK47 + Darko Milicic for Boozer

There are no play-offs. Once the play-offs begin, the Fantasy League ends.

You can play 10 players per day. You get the 3 Guards, 3 forwards, 10 centers, plus 2 "utility" players (I guess "utility is like miscellaneous). "BN" means "bench," players that are in street clothes and don't have their shoes on--your worst players obviously.

Must i change the lineup daily? If Dallas plays today and Spurs play tomorrow i can use Nowitzki today and Duncan tomorrow for example?

Yes, you're right that you can play Duncan in your PF spot today and then switch to have Dirk in your PF spot tomorrow. If you do that, you'll end losing a lot of those 82 games for each position/spot quickly. You can put Duncan in your PF spot and Dirk in your F spot, and just leave them like that all week. (That's what I do. Personally, I rarely change my line-up. I just put my worst players on the bench and wait for one of my "starters" to get injured).

Hmmm....how about Ray Allen or Antawn Jamison for AK47?

[ArkadiosV2]

Now i get it...

The number of mx games applies to the position and not the player himself!
Interesting... again, it means i must distribute my games evenly and smartly...

About your offer... doesn't sound good. Let's think of some other formula. Maybe even involve another team in the trade like real NBA clubs do?
But it seems that only me and you are the active ones...

[krikit]

I'm active too (Le Mans Utd).

Might accept that trade offer, need to see how Garnett looks tommorow first.

It does... but it isn't! I already wasted 1 game on Kirilenko and he scored like 7 points or something. Looks like it's gonna be another mediocre season for AK47.

I need to figure out a trade to get rid of him.

[ArkadiosV2]

Trade Ofeer to Le Mans:

Kirilenko, Vince Carter, Lamar Odom for Paul Pierce and Alan Iverson...

Isn't Allan Ray injured? I would trade Jamison for Kirilenko.

How are the points calculated ffs? I don't get it. Yesterday me players had some good stats, much better than day 1 and i got less points. In face my points reduced... i tried to look for a link for the points system but i can't find anything.

[krikit]

The points are calculated in nine categories (FG%, FT%, 3PTM, PTS, REB, AST, ST, TO, BLK).

The goal is to be as good as possible in as many categories as possible. If you are the team in our league with the most reb you get 7 points, if you are the team with the least rebounds you only get 1 point etc. If you click on the full standings button you can see how the teams match-ups in the categories.

I joined the league but I deleted the team as soon as I noticed theleague was rotisserie

Why?

[ArkadiosV2]

OK i understand how the points of each day are calculated. But shouldn't the points form each accumulate into a total?

How did i have 30something in first day and i got less?

So if i got 50 points everyday and i'm top and at the last day i get 5 i will lose?

its boring

The max score one can have is 63 (then your nr 1 in all categories). The lowest score is 9 (last in al categories). If you have 63 but someone overtakes you in say rebounding you'll drop down to 62 points and the one who overtook you in rebouding will gain one point.

It's the accumlated rebounds over the entire season that will count in the end (the same for all stats), so it's important to have long term balanced team in ll categories.
