Welcome to The Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.

**Andy Holloway** (1:48)
Welcome in.
Thursday, May 7th. The Fantasy Footballers back again. Mike Wright, Jason Moore, Andy Holloway. Overreactions Episode for 2026 Some news to talk about. Some golf talk if we want to.

**Jason Moore** (2:20)
Yeah, some golf talk.

**Andy Holloway** (2:22)
You had a really poignant tweet today.

**Jason Moore** (2:28)
Yes, I did.

**Andy Holloway** (2:28)
About golf.

**Jason Moore** (2:29)
And it was very true. I thought it was...

**Andy Holloway** (2:32)
Why don't you read it, just for those out there that share the hobby, our new hobby of golf.

**Jason Moore** (2:36)
I mean, it's something that I am working on. I am not good, but I have found in life, when you work on things, you can get better. And so I tweeted out that my experience with golf is that the more work you put into getting better, the higher you can score. So it's great news, guys.

**Andy Holloway** (2:53)
And you've been accomplishing higher and higher.

**Jason Moore** (2:55)
I did get a higher score today than ever before. So that's awesome.
High score wins, right?

**Andy Holloway** (3:03)
Your points for went up.

**Jason Moore** (3:05)
Yeah. I'm a football guy.

**Andy Holloway** (3:08)
That's right. That's right. Mike, back in the building today. Chill out. We have a couple of quick announcements. The best ball rankings are now live in the UDK Plus.
So that's pretty exciting. Those of you that play best ball out there on the various platforms, you can find our best ball rankings in the UDK Plus right now. If you don't have the UDK, ultimatedraftkit.com for that. Quick question of the day comes from Zach on Instagram. How can I convince my league to switch to FAB? FAB is a way to handle waivers, stands for free agent acquisition budget.
And it means that each week teams blind bid on free agents. And when the free agents process, you'll find out who gets them based on who bid the most. FAB, a lot of leagues have like a hundred FAB budget, maybe 200 over the course of the year. Some teams have or some leagues have off season FAB budgets. But this is in opposition to kind of a default standard of like waiver priority rolling.

**Jason Moore** (4:13)
One of the things that's silly to me now is that, I think most defaults are now a FAB system. So it's like old leagues that you've been in for a while, that have been running it as the old standard, which was just waiver priority.
If you start like a new league on Sleeper, I have to imagine that that just defaults to FAB, because that's the way that fantasy has been played for the last decade now. So if you want to convince them, just, I mean, I think that's one of the arguments is like this, this is really the new norm for the majority of leagues. Two, the big argument is always about fun. I mean, the reason to change any rule in any league is to maximize fun. And it is-

**Mike Wright** (4:56)
Well, and maybe some fairness.

**Jason Moore** (4:58)
Sure, I mean, that's a secondary thing.
