ya'll the real enemy here is trojansc who has been on the podium 4 years in a row. Michelle Shaffer was a Fantasy Champion all the way back in 2019 when this run started and I've got her again in 2023! Tough road to 1st from where I'm at, but, a lot of weeks of 2 matches left!

doing some quick scouting for next week... Anna Dixon has to be played as an outside/any for @madden55 since she finished the wisconsin match at OH, correct? ay2013

She even blocked in the middle for some of the 5th.

She even blocked in the middle for some of the 5th. I suppose this could be a special case where she can continue to be allowed to be used exclusively as a MB... eazy/ Kingsley? I will say that position rules this year was to make a clean rule that essentially had any player with position ambiguity needing to be used as an ANY player, rather than being able to use a player out of position in one of the dedicated position spots. I would be ok giving Dixon another week as a true MB on your roster but if she plays some OH this week she needs to be reclassified as a MB/OH and can only be used in an ANY slot... lets see what Kingsley and eazy think.

I’m okay with holding Dixon at middle for this week. Pending further review after this week.

I don't know enough about how she was used to have an opinion. Was she a 6 rotation pin blocker/attacker throughout the rally? I think the biggest advantage to playing a M/O as a middle is the 6 rotation potential to increase digs (or BRA kills) that a 'true' middle would not have. Outside of that, I don't think it matters. Tealer was used on high balls behind the setter off two feet quite a bit a few years ago, but that doesn't feel any different than Lauren Matthews hitting high 2 balls out of system. But a 6 rotation middle would (unfairly in my opinion) change the dynamic of the line-up. Just my 2 cents.

My opinion nobody asked for, but maybe for a future league consideration:
Players with multiple positions should be able to count for either position, as long as: -someone isn't playing 4.5 setters (4 setters + S/OPP in an OH spot) -someone isn't playing 6.5 outside hitters (6OH + S/OPP in a S spot) -someone isn't playing a 6-rotation player pin hitter in a middle blocker spot

It's rare, but, it happened a few years back at Boise State. Morgan Hughes transferred in from SMC and played as a middle in the frontrow but stayed backrow and the libero came in so a pin instead. A true 6-ro middle is fantasy gold. Also, that year Valpo used their libero as a setter. That would have been interesting for Fantasy. I think it should be allowed, as technically she was in the libero jersey as a full time setter.

Just my 2 cents. she was on the lineup sheet as an outside for the fifth set. she hit and blocked from zone 4 for 2.5 rotations while hitting from the right in the other half rotation. she was a pin blocker the whole time, but was being DS’d. she was also in serve receive a bit before they started hiding her.
