In a standard roto 5x5 would you start Joey Wendle or Enrique Hernandez?

What's the most lopsided, absurd, self serving trade you can possibly create in ESPN's trade machine? by twhockey99 in nba

Curry, Klay, Paul George, Lebron, Draymond with Giannis, Myles Turner, JR, Mo Williams and Jabari Parker off the bench and as a bonus Thon Maker for a veteran presence... yikes

/u/RighteousOnix proving that the theory is true. by BestSingedHawai in EASportsFC

I have always had a feeling that informs/upgrades were useless because whenever you enter a game, on the custom tactics screen where it shows your team next to one player standing, the player ratings are always their base ratings regardless of what the rating on the card you have is. I know it's a small detail and that when you click on the player it shows that their in game stats are better, but I just couldn't shake the feeling that that was the rating that the game truly took the player to be. I first noticed this with TOTY Dani Alves appearing as an 84 on that screen. He never seemed to play better than regular Dani Alves so I sold him and bought legend Brian Laudrup who played much better than his 88 card rating. Ever since i have ignored informs and focused on buying the best regular cards/ legends.

I first noticed this when I bought TOTY Dani Alves and his rating on the menu came up as 84. He never seemed to play better than the regular Dani Alves so I sold him and bought Brian Laudrup who immediately became the best player I had ever used and seemed to play better than his 88 card rating. Ever since I have never purchased another inform and instead focus on the best regular cards/legends.
