Also, when does the first faab auction happen? I'd assume it's a week from tomorrow?

This is Week 1 of the NFBC season and Thursday is like Monday. I will check with STATS to see if all players are locked at that time, but right now I would plan for that and I'll update if the later games lock at 7 pm ET on thursday. But be safe and get your lineup in on Thursday morning.

Good luck all. Friday is a normal Friday then, so set your lineups accordingly.

Just want to be sure I understand this, we can put in a line-up for Thursday games and switch offense players on Friday, right?

Thanks buddy, it was great seeing you

[/QUOTE]That's the way I read what Greg is saying also, but the actually "Set Lineup" page does not give you that option. It goes 3/31- 4/3, and the 4/4- 4/7

Greg, can you verify how we can set lineups.

Gaëtan [/QUOTE]Yes. It's similar to the Sunday night game last year. Good luck all.

I understand that we will be able to change our lineups between Thursday and Friday of this week ... but only because I have read this thread ... I suspect there may be some confusion over this on Friday, as on the web-site it appears that this isn't the case (the Thursday through Sunday games are still in one grouping). Seems like you could save potential head-aches on Friday if the Thursday game was pulled out into its own "group" so that this Friday thru Sunday looked like a "regular" Friday thru Sunday. Especially since there are a lot of early Friday games this week. If folks could set their Friday lineups BEFORE Friday, it would avoid a lot of confusion ... as it is now, we pretty much have to wait until Friday, and it is not clear on the site how that will work (especially for folks who have not read this thread) ... just a suggestion ... thanks!

And to be clear, I don't think you can change your pitchers on Friday, just your hitters.
