Without a weekly max games cap in H2H, there are weeks that aren't competitive at all, just due to luck of the schedule. Even if you have a superior team, you have almost no chsnce to win. In my league this year, I had some weeks with 32 games and my opponent had 41. Even with streaming, it's not competitive. Having the option of weekly max games would be huge, and make Yahoo fantasy a better game.

In weekly H2H basketball leagues, allow a limited number of subs each week from the team's existing bench. This way, if you have an injury or COVID protocol early in the week, you can make changes and stay competitive. Or, later in the week you can use subs to maximize games played.

This is a serious issue that must be taken into consideration.

For my 11 category, weekly matchup league - I want to add a weekly game cap/limit so the # of games is equal each week between opponents. Usually there is an uneven # of games involved in each matchup and in categories - when totals is everything - it’s an unfair advantage / disadvantage.
This completely removes the skills and knowledge required to succeed in the competitive environment we’ve constituted over the years.
It makes bad players with 4 games in a given week more valuable than all stars with only 2 games on the schedule that same week.
It does not seem like a very difficult feature to build out, and we have plenty of time before the ‘21/22 season to fix any bugs that may arise.
Ideally it should be offered in 5 game ranges - 45 is probably the most ideal but I would start the option at 25 - increase by increments of 5 - until you hit 60+.
Please help make our yahoo fantasy basketball league the best it can possibly be by implementing this change. Thank you.

Hi,
Please include maximum games allowed option in head to head leagues. For example: I have below average players, but because they have 47 games scheduled to play that week, I'm gonna beat a better team because they have 40 games scheduled vs me.
This will increase strategy and if I have 47 games scheduled for my players, but the maximum allowed is 40, that means I will have to strategically bench 7 games and will pay attention to rest days, matchups and which guys I need to bench.
This allows the better managed team and the better overall team, a better chance to win.

I have to agree with this post. Not necessarily have it for every league, but at least give the commissioner the option to set a weekly cap of games/players to be played. It would also make it strategic to choose who you want to play against your weekly opponent.

This would also be unnecessary for my leagues as I dont play weekly matchups that count for 1 win. And I dont use matchups as a tie breaker for the problem you stated above. If you play head to head but use categories as wins, losses and ties, you have the ability to balance this out over the course of a season. Each player has the potential for 82 games.

Our league has a maximum of 50 moves because we don’t have the time to stream players daily. However, that means that winning your week is almost solely based on how many games your team plays that week. It’s getting pretty lame.

I have been using !Yahoo Fantasy Basketball since 2000...19 years!!!! We only stay because the group and commissioner do not want to put in the work to switch to a different platform. It seems like !Yahoo Fantasy has the same idea; they are too lazy to make the platform better because of users like mine where majority of the old guys are too lazy to make things better.
!Yahoo Fantasy, Please allow for the option to set a max number of games per week. This is not a difficult fix. You do not have to make it complicated with limits by position etc. Just allow for setting a max per week. This will make the game play much more fun.
Thanks. -

There are weekly leagues that may be better suited for that idea.
Most of us now are used to the streaming players aspect of these weekly matchups. And many of us enjoy finding players based upon their # of games/wk. Plus, as someone else pointed out, with so many players taking nights off now limiting the number of games will not make it any more even. -

Agreed with Francisco. You sound like a typical millenial though. I joined this thing with rules set in place. I don't like it. Change the rules to better suit me and adapt to my needs.
Get lost.

Sorry, bro. That is just how NBA schedule works. On some ocassions it will benefit you and in some other it will not. In order to deal with this, I avoid having two or more players from the same team in my roster. It really hurts when that team plays only two games during the week.

Yea this has been my biggest concern with Yahoo H2H fantasy leagues. We had a league meeting on this 2 weeks ago and decided to stick with ESPN because of the lack of weekly games played limits on Yahoo.
Everything else on Yahoo is superior to ESPN Fantasy sports but we just cant make the switch without weekly game limts
Agreed
