REMINDER: There is a 25% performance penalty if a player plays out of his natural position. The penalty is more if the player makes an extreme switch. A Guard not eligibile to play Center will incur a 25% rating penalty if he plays there while a LB playing CB will suffer more than a 25% penalty. Penalties do occur if you try to play an ILB at an OLB position and vice versa, same for DE at a DT slot. Of course if a player is rated at multiple positions (C-G, LB, DL, DB), then there is no penalty.

But not a FS playing SS or vice versa???? interesting because then we could have drafted 2 SS's that are not as hard to come by asa good FS. interesting.

[Canadian'eh!]

[Canadian'eh!]

Eb.... do you want us to fill out all this info in our own threads or right here or somewhere else?

Eb.... do you want us to fill out all this info in our own threads or right here or somewhere else?
if you want it to be public knowledge you can do it in the thread I will start for each week (i.e., for 6/20 you can do it in this thread). If you want to keep it secret PM or e-mail it to me.

[Ebenezer]

BTW, in formations where there are only 7 players listed or whatever, it is assumed that you will be playing your best players at the other spots...if you want to fill out the full 11 please do.
