When should I use global player swap?
Global player swap allows you to quickly make late minute lineup changes in the event a player is scratched, or when updated news changes how you wish to construct your lineups.
You can edit your full roster as many times as you would like before the contest begins. When in a late swap eligible contest, individual athletes in your roster can also be edited and swapped until the lock time of each player’s individual game.
A locked player cannot be added or removed from a roster spot. Locked roster spots for all entries are displayed in contest game centers. In both late swap and non-late swap contests, players on opponent lineups will remain hidden until the players’ respective game start times.
