I'd root for you this week, but I'm facing you. But your luck, I legit have like 6 scheduled pitchers today meaning I can't have them all play.

We meet again @Apoho Creed! Last time you scorched me at the end. It sucks, but your team was way better than mine, and this season it has showed as you're undefeated with a 7-0 record. I hope after this week will be a different result. We're in for another slobber knocker my friend!

I am having fun despite not doing very well. My Yahoo team is in last place after winning the championship last year because I got hit with injuries but it is still fun

I would wish you luck too, but you probably don't need it against me

Question: Do you know how to set your line-up for later dates?

I noticed you have had the same pitchers in all week so far and you may be leaving a lot of points on the board.

Basically while setting your line-up you can change dates to set your lineup tomorrow or even later in the week.

While it isn't the biggest deal for position players, for pitchers it is CRUCIAL to have your starting pitchers in on the dates they are scheduled to start. As long as they aren't terrible on that day, they often get double digit points each start and they only count if they are placed your starting line-up on the day they pitch.

If you want, let me know if you set your line-ups on the app or on the website and I can show you step by step.

I thought I had been changing them... so if they have been the same, I am a bit confused. I have been doing it on the website so I am not sure what I have been doing wrong.

I'll show you in a little bit.

As you can see, here's the line-up and the dates you can set it.

And on dates a starter is set to pitch, there is a PP. This is for Saturday as an example.

Basically I need to go to the date to set that line-up.

Then you move as it says. If it saves, you should see this.

And I checked and it is saved on my app. So what I do is usually once or twice a week I go through and set the line-ups for the next five or so days. Basically I check which position players are doing well and make sure they are not on the bench (Maybe on a travel day make an adjustment or two) but for the pitchers I make sure the starting pitchers are in their starter position on dates they are scheduled to start. Then the relief pitchers I usually keep the ones who are doing well in the relief position.

That way, I am able to rack up most my possible points. Starting pitchers, while they don't have more than one or two days a week where they can get points, they are capable of giving you a big boost if they're playing and have a decent day. Of course, you have a max of twelve pitching starts a week, which only counts if the starter starts the game. So if it is a case where I am going to have more than 12, then I just sit the lowest ranked guy on the last day.

Hopefully this helps!
