The Waiver Wire

Here along the Lake Learning how to utilize the waiver wire is essential to you becoming a successful ESPN FHL team manager, the waiver wire populates your watch list.

Constantly review the waiver wire for top-tier point producing players, players you want, players that are what you perceive to be on a “hot streak”, players put back onto the waiver wire from your competitors.

As soon as the draft is over is the time to utilize both the waiver wire and watch list, there will be players available that are good/very good point producers, but these types of players do not last long.

Once the creme de la creme of players are dispersed throughout the league you can keep track in an organized manner what good players are on the waiver wire at any given time.

At the end of the ESPN FHL season, review the moves statistic and you will notice that team managers that do not make any moves whatsoever are usually the bottom four or five teams of the league.

Players get hurt, get scratched, get suspended, lose confidence and produce less points, these types of players can be moved to the waiver wire and replaced with players that can contribute to your weekly matchup score.

Nothing is 100% and that includes making your allotted seven weekly moves successfully, for example you might not get back a player you planned on getting back that you placed on waivers.

The waiver wire is something you do not want to ignore, use it often and with a keen eye on the players that statistically can help you win an ESPN FHL championship.
