Problem with 2nd instance of player getting 14 day penalty

CT Wolverine · 01-03-2019, 01:56 PM

Team Simsbury Wolverines in Silver .311 league.
Just added 2nd instance of Oberg via pack acquisition.
I tried to swap out a tired but previously relatively effective Oberg from 25-man active roster for the 2nd instance on the inactive roster.
As soon as I moved the first Oberg to reserves, both instances were marked 14-day unusable.
Now I am stuck having to use a weaker pitcher for the next 14 days.

That's intentional. Identical cards are treated identically, so removing one from the roster will invalidate the 2nd one.

OK, thanks for the quick reply. I thought I had read somewhere that only 1 could be on the active 25-man at a time, which I was still attempting to do, by swapping him out with the other one. But I think what you have just told me is that if one instance of the player is farmed (14 days applied), then the 14 days are applied to all instances, even if already previously on reserves.

Yes. You can only have 1 copy of a player active at the same time as well. We added this extra rule in so that you couldn't simply "swap" the 2 guys back and forth through the season to avoid fatigue issues, which would effectively bypass the 14 day reserve limit.

This explains my issue. Was about to post. Got a 2nd Sonny Gray, the first was ineffective this year. Put him on the block. Put the fresh one in the rotation. Next sim comes and he was on the reserve roster with a timeout. Thanks for the explanation.
