+ 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.

We recognize the value that Classic Mode may bring to your experience and appreciate your understanding as we make this change.

Why did you take the column for the Opponent away in Basketball? It is very small and hard to read. Please consider putting that column back for us with older eyes!!

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.

Fantasy Points earned on Team Log
On the Team Log section, we can see countable stats a player has earned for our fantasy team, but we can't see how many fantasy points they have earned. Seems like a natural to include. Also how about providing an average so we could see fantasy points per game played for the fantasy team?
Thank you for your feedback regarding adding fantasy points and averages to the Team Log. We will pass it along to our team!

Weekly Lineup Deadlines
In leagues that use Weekly on Monday deadlines, players added to your team Monday before tipoff should be able to go right in your lineup. You shouldn't have to wait an entire week. It's called common sense.
Hello,
Thanks for your feedback.
In a weekly league, managers must add, drop, or trade players by 11:59 PM PT the night before the weekly deadline day that is used in the league. If you use Monday, the deadline will be Sunday.
Since waivers are processed early in the morning on the processing day, any players added on Monday will be after the deadline and not be available on your team roster until the following week.
Thanks,

Horizontal scaling on roster page is awful
Echoing many other complaints I've seen but can't upvote for whatever reason. Why are the "fantasy" columns pushing the stats off the page? Instantly caused me to cancel my fantasy+. Why would I pay for something making my management experience worse?
Thank you for your feedback regarding the horizontal scaling on the roster page. We will pass it along to our team. Currently, you will have to scroll side-to-side to see all of the stats if they are all not appearing on the same screen at once for you.

Scaling for team pages
I'm not sure what's going on, but for some reason I now have to horizontally scroll on my team page , to view all of the stats. WHY? WHY? WHY? Who is in control of the UI at yahoo fantasy now and why are you deliberately making what was the best UI terrible?
Thank you for your feedback in regard to having to horizontally scroll to see all the stats on your team page. We will pass it along to our team!

Am I insane or can you not sort by teams playing next day and *then* stats? Maybe I'm insane. But you're effing me, yahoo
Of course on a saturday you need to know which players are playing on sunday and THEN be able to sort by attribute...
You should be able to sort players by if they are playing the next day and then be able to sort by different stats. If you are experiencing issues when doing this, please contact us under the sports section at help.yahoo.com or DM us @YahooFantasyCC on Twitter so we can look into this further for you.

Retrieve multiple players from watch list in one key stroke
I really would like to be able to get more than one player at a time from the watch list. It is really a pain when you have to fill your team with 25 players ( badeball, football and hockey) if you can activate all players in one key stroke from the bench you should be able to star players then bring them forth to your bench epwith one stroke instead of going to the watch list to the bench back to the watch list 20+ times.
Thank you

Fix the team player stats page. We should not have to scroll horizontally to see the full stat line of a player
The formatting this year for the fantasy nba game is horrible. Why should I have to scroll horizontally just to see a full stat line for a player. The yahoo team made this significantly worse than any previous year. Just replace the entire site with last years code and it will be much better.
