While I don't miss the old days when you had to manually compile stats, when I first played you had to fix your lineup the day before the first game of the week. No changes. You simply had to account for the risk if one of your players is a little banged up and might not play. Is it worth it to leave him in and risk a zero? It also leveled the playing field for people who do things on Sunday other than sit around and watch (or listen to) football all Sunday.
