If one was to lose on purpose to give them a lower seed but easier match-up. By losing on purpose I would pull a WR out of the lineup on MNF and have no one in his place which would give me a score of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:cs:smarttags" /><st1:NumConv6p0 val="0" sch="1">0</st1:NumConv6p0> when I needed <st1:NumConv6p0 val="6" sch="1">6</st1:NumConv6p0> to get a higher seed…<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Is this a dick move or a perfectly normal strategy?<o:p></o:p>

Got no problem with it.

Just an FYI, if you want to post this in theRX's fantasy football forum you might get some additional responses.

Dick move, think of being in the other shoes.

Speaking of dick moves,
it's 2pm in Costa Rica, I'm here, you are not.

Dick move if it screws another team from missing the playoffs... if it doesnt effect anyone else then I would say fair game. But if I needed you to win for me to make the playoffs and you did that I would think your a *****

I had this happen to me...

Just wondering if I have a right to complain...

I have no issue with it accept he did not field a complete team.

He should have to do that under the rules...

Typically fielding an incomplete team is rewarded 0 points for the week, not just for the missing positions. That can screw someone for total points $ if that is paid.

I would never do it as I always believe my team will beat anyone anytime anyway. Generally not the right thing to do IMO.
