it will also include 7 bench spots and 3 DL spots. The active starting positions must be filled by the beginning of the season (mandatory), or the LM's will buy players out from your team to open the necessary roster and cap space.

Those DL spots can be used only for players placed on their respective teams disable list. Suspended or day to day type players will not be allowed on the DL. The DL spots will not count towards your active roster limits.

Position eligibility will follow the ESPN standard settings.

*Note: If a player does not qualify for any positions based on the above criteria, he will qualify at the position(s) played most in the previous season. If he did not play at all last season, then the default position(s) will be used.

There will be three spots set aside for Injured Reserve players. In order to place a player on IR they must be officially listed on their team's DL. When you place a player on IR it deactivates them for the remainder of the DLF season. These deactivated players can not be traded, bought out or reactivated until after the DLF season rollover. When you place a player on IR you will gain $1 towards the current year's salary cap to replace the injured player. The IR player's salary is still paid while on IR, this $1 is for a replacement on a 1yr contract.
