OUT player status
The player change status to OUT at the last minute, this is fair to lock him if he is in the active roster, but after game, he should free to move to put into IL position for replacement for next day of game instead lock the team cannot make any movement
Hi Kafun,
Thanks for your feedback.
If a player is in the starting lineup, they'll lock into the lineup and cannot be moved until they've unlocked at the start of the new day, even if their injury designation tag has changed to Out.
If the league is using a daily - tomorrow deadline, you should have the option to move the player to the IL for the next day.
Thanks,

Revert to allow swiping through players
When viewing my roster and selecting a player, we used to be able to swipe to the next player. With the latest update, you have to close the card and open the next one. The old way was beneficial when looking at others teams rosters and evaluating players.
Thank you for your feedback regarding allowing the ability to swipe through players. We will pass it along to our team!

Revert the changes you’ve made to view our player stats
I can’t understand the stats for my players after their first night of playing games. I go to my team and I see these minuscule statistics that are descendent from a very highly placed column labels making it hard to understand what each of my players did. I don’t understand why you’re essentially showing two line of stats for each player. It’s beyond confusing and such a letdown that I started this league in this ****** app and I’m a decades long user of this app please consider a revert whatever design this is because it’s really making me question…
Thank you for your feedback regarding the app. Our team is working on making improvements!

Hi Bruce,
The My Team page on the website should have a notice near the top for how many adds you've used in the week. In the app, you should see the number of adds used for the week below the team roster.

Please add NBA player photos back on TEAM for Fantasy Basketball (Categories)
Hi YAHOO team!
We've noticed you removed player headshots when looking at teams on the mobile APP. We suggest bringing those back as it adds a lot to the FANTASY experience to visually see the players on our team. Also, to have the updated HEADSHOT photos for the coming season faster as we've noticed they get uploaded past when the season already started. Thank you in advance!
Hello,
Our fantasy team is continually working to refine the fantasy app. There are planned updates for the app, including the return of headshots for category leagues. We don't have an estimated time frame for that update.

Bring back the option of manually setting lineups rather than only the drag n drop option
Please…I beg you …bring back the option of setting lineup the old way and not only the drag n drop way . About an hour ago I was checking my lineup on my iPad . Apparently when I swiped down it switched a player in the Utility position to the bench without my knowledge. So when I checked it again at 5:05pm PST. My player Tre Jones had been SWITCHED to the bench for Odinoby. Needless to say it was a horrible feeling to see a healthy player on my bench when EVERY stat is crucial during finals week. In…

CLEAR WAIVERS
Clear the waivers for 3/16. I've had to stay up all night for my playoff matchup. This is unacceptable. At least, let us know what's going on. As a commissioner in a cash league, I can't fix the mess you created when people couldn't make the appropriate moves b/c waivers haven't cleared

+ Feature "Smart IL Optimization"
Add an optional + feature inside “Optimize Roster” that automatically rotates IL-eligible players so the IL slot(s) always hold the players who are NOT playing that day, and players who are playing get surfaced onto the active bench/roster when they unexpectedly become playable (even if the manager hasn’t noticed the designation changed).
What problem it solves
Right now, if a player returns earlier than expected (or gets upgraded mid-week), managers can miss games because the player is still sitting in an IL slot while another IL player has no game that day.
This feature reduces missed starts and makes weekly…

2 or 3 extra bench spots & 1 or 2 more transactions per week
Getting less and less interested in Fantasy Basketball because it is overwhelmingly based on Injury LUCK and volume. A way to combat the unbelievable spiral of injuries, whether they are a game or 2 or sometimes multiple weeks is to increase the roster size to accommodate 2 or 3 more bench spots & 2 or 3 more transactions per week so there is more of an an opportunity to play a full roster. Really don't understand the limit on transactions per week, what does that accomplish? Luck regarding injuries is involved in all sports real and fantasy, but it is…

Fantasy Basketball Watchlist page has no functionality
Watchlist tool has no basic options and looks like an unfinished build. Stuck on a past week (view) and only shows ‘Overview’ but doesn’t actually provide the overview mode (very cool feature of yahoo’s new high score game). Also the stats columns are not sortable, a basic tool which is another clue that this page was abandoned and incomplete. Please fix, it’s a very important tool for your product. Thanks!

On desktop, we should also see the remaining adds of other managers.
On desktop, we should also see the remaining adds of other managers. At the moment, we can see our own remaining adds but when viewing other managers' teams, we can't see how many adds they have left.
Hi PJ,
We will pass along your feedback to our product team.
Managers can view the Recent Transactions Log for the league to see how many adds a manager has made in a week to determine how many they have left.

Daily Roster Set - App vs Non-App
I have multiple league members saying they are setting their roster using the "start active players" button and when they check a few hours later - they are not on their active roster. When they use a desktop/laptop this seems to be fine. However, using the mobile app (two different users on different devices - one ipad, one droid) are having the same issue.
Once you enable Start Active Players, it will reset if you add, drop, or trade any players. If these managers are not making any transactions after they use Start Active Players and their starting lineups are not set correctly, please have them contact our support team directly via https://help.yahoo.com/kb/fantasy-basketball? >> Contact Us.

Stop screwing up fantasy basketball format!
Why MUCK up the roster changing. The old format is much better or I'm missing something.
If your league is a High Score league, you can set your lineup every day if you choose to. However, benching a player will remove their points from your score, and you won’t be able to get those points back. You can reinsert that player back in to your starting lineup, but only the games he plays from that point forward are eligible to contribute to his High Score of the week. This is the only scoring format where this occurs. More information regarding High Score leagues can be found here.

Bring back traditional lineup setting.
The drag and drop method is slow and "auto set" takes some of the fun out of it.

I want to see the entire roster page and player stats on one page, without having to scroll up, down, left and right.
I want to be able to see my entire roster and the stats for the day on a single page, without having to scroll up/down and left/right. I have a large widescreen monitor, so there's no reason, I need to scroll left and right and up and down.
This season the rows and columns got larger for each stat when there was no need to change it. Please hire better UI designers so we don't run into these types of issues.
Thank you for your feedback. I will share this with our product team.
