Rosters/Lineups - Commissioner can remove roster slots after the league drafts.
This change would allow commissioners to remove roster slots from their league after their draft. For example, the commissioner accidentally had 3 IR slots but only wanted 1. Currently the commissioner can't remove roster slots after the draft.

Using IR spots can be complicated/confusing for inexperienced team managers. After dealing with complaints I decided to increase the number of bench spots and remove IR spots... Unfortunately Yahoo only allows commissioners to add spots in season. As a result I now have a league with an oversized bench AND IR spots. this could be better.

2024 Dynasty Pass NEEDS TO BE INVESTAGED. COMMISSIONER ONLY SCHEDULED 7 WEEKS THEN LOCKED LEAGUE THEN ABANDONED LEAGUE AND STARTED NEW ONE

We have had the same keeper league for 20+ years. We keep everyone from year to year. We draft 5 players each year. To do this we have to faux-cut 5 guys (usually our best players, so they won't get picked up), draft the 5 new, and then by the season start, we add back our protected players, by cutting 5 guys. It would help me immensely, to be able to start the year with 28 roster spots and drop down to 23 right before the season.

Why fewer IR. I always max IR slots as a commissioner. Why make a manager have to choose between keeping a player on their roster they can't use now but want when he comes back to have a player they can use now. Having a player end up on IR is bad luck. The problem shouldn't be compounded by a commissioner that forces managers to make the choice. If you drop the player to pick up someone they can use now, there is no guarantee they get that player back when they return to action.
I would be in favor of having the ability to add IR or Bench slots if they want. Adding more active slots during the season adds an advantage to some and disadvantage to others. Managers have made moves based on the current settings. If they traded two 2nd tier for a top tier, their bench is weaker. Adding a new position not currently in use is to the disadvantage to the manabers that have used the waiver wire most recently.

We should be able to add roster positions or remove roster positions not just before but after the draft, especially considering we can ask people in our league if they are game to add another W/R/T to spice it up so people have more players they can use off their bench. Why isn’t this an option…we do not need Yahoo to hold our hands & over dictatorship the app & give us more options to make our leagues funnnn!!???

I would, especially love if we could draft early, had extra roster spots, and had cut days. Draft 22 rounds Cut the rosters in august. Waivers on for priority.

This is good for post-draft pre-season dynasty/keeper leagues for baseball. Yahoo's management of NA players is abysmal. The commish should be able to set it up, similar to sleeper, where there is a max roster size once the season begins and penalties like not being able to move players or add players if the roster does not come down.

If a league comes to the consensus that they want to add a defensive player let them if they want to add another flex slot let them it is simple.

Being able to change roster positions
is just one of the many things that a
commish can change during the season
which Yahoo should NOT allow. -

Great suggestion. My leagues would love to have an extra bench position during the bye weeks, and then eliminate a bench position after the last bye week. As Kyle already posted, Yahoo already has the logic for dealing with this (no moves until you fix your roster - like currently implemented for IR).
I could have also used it once when I set up a league with an unintended position. I didn't discover it until have way through the draft. Lived with it all year. -

this is a great suggestion. Leagues that prefer to draft early and then do cut downs need this option. And Yahoo... listen up son... if more leagues draft early... you get more clicks in more months. It's in your economic interest to do this. Do it son, do it... doooooooooooooooooo ittt.

I can't believe yahoo allow changes in money leagues! WTF is up with that? For example, I made a trade with the commish and he wanted it so bad. He sent an email out saying he is moving the trade deadline up. This is just one example of integrity issues. I get my trade faster so no worries for me, but if it wasn't me then its BS. I hid the league name for Privacy
Your commissioner in (league) has updated your league with the following new settings:
Trade Reject Time - 1 day -

No changes need to be made to scoring, rosters, schedule, divisions or really anything after draft. I don't see a reason to especially change scoring after draft. you pick players based on scoring and roster setting!!

Integrity of the fantasy games should be the up-most importance here. Limiting the commish editing power after draft is obvious what needs to be done especially in cash leagues. Don't give opportunities for cash leagues to be compromised. Vote for fairness 2016!

That is way too much work to monitor every team every day to make sure they dont go over.
Yahoo wouldnt have to figure out who to remove.. it would just show your roster has having too many players and wouldn't let you make any moves until you fixed it. Just like it does when you have a player on IR that is no longer eligible for IR.

Kevin to preserve the integrity of the contest the settings should be locked after the draft. That is your fault for forgetting to change that. Now if you want to change settings then you send out a request to the league and with at least half the votes yahoo gives you permission to change. This is fair for all. Similar to vetoing a trade, but a little different. (until week 1 is not a bad idea, but not as good as this idea)

I assume you mean going from 30 to like, 25? You can do this yourself by using Edit Rosters to remove players from teams, then just monitor the league to make sure no one exceeds the new roster size.
If Yahoo! were to reduce each team by 5 BN slots, how would Yahoo! know which 5 to remove from each team?

My league drafts early to 30 man rosters. We should be able to edit roster sizes after the draft to accommodate roster cut downs like the NFL

I believe that the commissioner should be able to change the roster positions. Just like I forgot to change from a 3 WR set and make it 2 WR with a FLEX. Now we have to do this all league. Or, make it to where anything can be changed until it comes time for WEEK 1 then this is locked in.
