3. How to Set the Playoff Seeding

The playoff seeding in ESPN Fantasy Football can be set in a number of ways. The default setting is for the top six teams in each division to make the playoffs. However, you can also choose to set the playoff seeding manually, or to use a different seeding method, such as the “head-to-head” or “strength of schedule” methods.

To set the playoff seeding, follow these steps:

1. Go to the “League Settings” page.
2. Click on the “Playoffs” tab.
3. Select the desired playoff seeding method from the drop-down menu.
4. Enter the number of teams that will be seeded in each round.
5. Click on the “Save” button.

The following are the different playoff seeding methods that are available in ESPN Fantasy Football:

• Top Six Teams in Each Division: The default setting is for the top six teams in each division to make the playoffs. This is the simplest playoff seeding method, and it is the one that is used in most leagues.
• Manual Seeding: You can manually set the playoff seeding by entering the team names and their respective seeds. This is a good option if you want to give teams with better records a higher seed.
• Head-to-Head: The “head-to-head” playoff seeding method is based on the results of the head-to-head matchups between the teams. The teams with the best head-to-head records will be seeded higher.
• Strength of Schedule: The “strength of schedule” playoff seeding method is based on the strength of the teams that each team has played. The teams that have played the toughest schedules will be seeded higher.

Once you have set the playoff seeding, the teams will be seeded automatically in the playoffs. The top-seeded team will play the lowest-seeded team in the first round, the second-seeded team will play the seventh-seeded team, and so on.

4. How to Change the Playoff Start Date

The playoff start date in ESPN Fantasy Football can be changed by following these steps:

1. Go to the “League Settings” page.
2. Click on the “Playoffs” tab.
3. Enter the desired start date for the playoffs.
4. Click on the “Save” button.

The playoff start date can be changed at any time before the playoffs begin. However, it is important to note that if you change the playoff start date, it will affect the schedule for the playoffs.

For example, if you change the playoff start date from week 14 to week 15, the first round of the playoffs will be played in week 15 instead of week 14. This could have a significant impact on the teams that make the playoffs, as well as the teams that are seeded higher.

Therefore, it is important to think carefully about when you change the playoff start date. If you are not sure whether or not you want to change the playoff start date, it is best to leave it as the default setting.
