Waiver - Allow commissioner to use continuous waivers with custom free agent periods

This waiver setting would allow the commissioner to use 'Continuous' waivers but also be able to select days that all players are free agents. For example, the league uses continuous waivers (players always on waivers) and the waivers process each night but on Thursdays, Sundays, and Mondays all players will be free agents and be eligible to be picked up in the event a team needs a substitute.

    Concur. Have been asking for this feature for years now. Please implement.

  • John Hickman commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please implement this. Adding to the chorus of people who this is a deal breaker for. Continuous waivers is by far the most equitable system but there are just way too many situations where you need to make an emergency pickup on Sunday. It can decide games and that's not fun for anybody when a team is forced to leave their injured player in the lineup because they can't make a move. I just want it as an option, it doesn't have to be the default. Game day/Sunday free agency please.

    Please allow commissioners to set the days and the time that the waiver wire runs. We need more customizable settings on this platform.

    2 things other platforms have that I would like to see even this year if possible. 1 FAB trading, 2 Sunday and Monday Free Agency options for the continuous waiver system.

  • chris sember commented  ·   ·  Report

    My league is considering moving to the Sleeper platform because they allow for this. A sunday free agency period would be a great option to have for the feature. Would love for it to be implemented this year if possible

  • Matt Soderberg commented  ·   ·  Report

    Continuous waivers with free agency period Sunday through Monday. There's just so much information regarding injuries that comes out on Sunday, some of which is impossible to prepare for. This would be the perfect solution!

    Commenting so i can follow for updates. My league switched from yahoo to another service solely for continuous waivers + free agent sunday. Waivers have been awesome but game day experience was terrible. If yahoo could fix this, our league would definitely come back.

  • Darren Schweitzer commented  ·   ·  Report

    Look, I have an experienced, long-term league, and we've realized continuous waivers is the fairest format from Wednesday through Saturday for pickups. Otherwise, people with a Twitter feed and no life get the best free agent adds once an injury gets reported.

    The issue with this format, though, is that continuous waivers forces all league members to win their claims on Saturday night, or else they're screwed come Sunday if they experience game time injuries and the like.

    Please, please, please allow us to have a Sunday game time free agents option under the continuos waiver model. Right now, I, as commissioner, have to process
    people text messaging me on Sunday on a first come
    ,first served basis, so that I can override the system and add Sunday morning free agent adds to teams.

    Sleeper already had this option! If Yahoo added it, we wouldn't even be considering changing platforms. PLEASE add this option. Thank you!

    Continuous waiver options, aka daily waivers, at the same time as players locked at game time until Tuesday.

    Continuous waivers are the most equitable waiver system, but since there is only one option for waiver type, there is no game-time lock. The game-time lock, with continuous waivers, would be optimal in order to maintain the traditional waiver system that has managers competing with one another for the best pickups.

  • Russell Simpkins commented  ·   ·  Report

    I definitely agree. Continuous waivers are needed because with phone alerts its BS that the guy whos job allows him to be on the phone are able to pick guys up first when news breaks. But I hate how you need to switch it to where we are allowed to pick up a FA on game day if news breaks as well. MAKE THIS CHANGE PLEASE!

  • Tom Kirk commented  ·   ·  Report

    Lame idea! Only the unprepared need this change made. This need you have can and should be filled by the owners Bench players. Bad roster management is the real culprit. I bet all these guys that want this are generally hoarding 8 and 9 RBs on his bench. Balance your bench positions people.

  • John McGoldrick commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please something like this, or at least where preseason is continuous waivers and then it shifts to gametime-tues before the reg season without having to using commish access to change the rules.

    Already this preseason there has been josh gordon news and last year adrian peterson. Need a system so its not first come first serve on these but can do gameday add drops as well

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    For waivers, I would add a pre-determined option setting that all players come off waivers one hour before kickoff of first weekend game. This can eliminate gamesmanship in leagues where teams pick up and drop players in the same week they have no intention of keeping to block other people from picking up those players.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The options for waivers are very limited, either running Tuesday PM or players always stay on waivers (continuous). We'd like to run waivers on multiple days, but still enable "free for all" on game day so owners aren't stuck waiting for waivers.

    If we could get the above change, that would be awesome. Beyond that, I believe it should be built in that, on a day that a player has a game, they are removed from waivers. This allows owners to make moves on Thursday night prior to the game if needed, while the players not in the game are still on waivers.
