📋 Roster & Lineups

This is the #1 thing people get wrong!

Each position slot has a maximum number of games that count each week. Once you hit that limit, additional games from players in that position don't count at all!

The limits:

  • Guards (G): Max 12 games per week across all 3 guard slots
  • Forwards (F): Max 12 games per week across all 3 forward slots
  • All other positions (C, G/C, F/C, Flx): Max 4 games each

How it works: Each position slot can only count stats from a limited number of games per week. Once you hit the limit, any additional games from players in that slot are wasted!

Real Example:

You have 3 guards who each play 4 games this week = 12 total games. The limit is 12 games for guards.

Result: All 12 games count since you're at the limit!

⚠️ Important Technical Note:

If a position goes over its limit, Fantrax will count ALL games on the day the limit is exceeded. However, this is NOT allowed and any overages will be corrected by the commissioner. Always manage your lineups to stay within the weekly limits!

Strategy tip: Pay attention to weekly schedules! If your guards have tons of games, move some to bench. If they have few games, load up!
