I'd like to use a Franchise Wildcard on 1987 Wade Boggs from the 1921 Red Sox for a $1 million premium

midknight: Per the rules in the sign up thread: "Each manager can purchase as many of the different lifelines as they want, but each one can be used only once."

So you cannot legally throw back two teams.

Given there has been no reroll yet, and your request was not legal, I am treating this as a "no sale", so I will not bind you to either team. But please specify which one you want to throw back.

1. Throw back the 2016 Diamondbacks.
2. For $1M I will use the "Franchise Wild Card" and select 1995 Greg Maddux (1938 Braves/Boston Bees)

I did not read down the page - I locked in on the sentence "Everyone can choose ONE basic lifeline for free, each additional one costs $1M" which appeared before the lifeline options were listed. My bad.

I assume my 1 and 2 above are good?

One more: Switch the 1931 Browns for the 1931 New York Yankees. $3M

Question: With the "Franchise Wild Card" - Does the wild card player replace the entire roster of the assigned team or can I still draft players from the team (i.e., 1938 Braves/Bees)

Thanks!

And yes, both those are fine, you got a new team for free (63 Reds) and purchased 95 Maddux for $1M

You are simply adding that player to the roster, so your 1938 Braves became: 1938 Braves + 1995 Maddux

I will use my Franchise Lifeline on 1994 Greg Maddux via the 1923 Boston Braves

OK I got you down for a 94 Maddux for $1M and adjusted the cap

I'm tossing back the 1891 Colonels. That was a terrible team! LOL

I'd like to use the franchise wildcard on Lou Gehrig via 21 Yanks.

Someone asked a question if you can stack lifelines, and the answer is YES!

As long as you haven't used it yet, and you are willing to pay for it, you can use it however you see fit.

So if I got dealt the spectacular 2019 Orioles, I could flip it to the 2019 Yankees for $3M then use a franchise wild card on my new team to get Ruth.

The same would apply if you shift a year. If I get dealt the 1992 Dodgers, I could shift it to 1993, then flip it to the 1993 Braves for $3M and get access to Maddux, I can even put a franchise wild card on top of that and grab off 1894 Hugh Duffy!

So many possibilities out there!
