3. This may be my personal nitpick, but in fantasy leagues there are 8 million transactions and the advantage often goes to the fastest person. We want this to be more about roster building than about who can run to the waiver wire and grab someone the fastest. In this game, you better be able to draft well and spend your free agent money well.

There's a simple way around 2/3. All deals are for this year only, no re-signing available.
If anything there should have been more time for hte off-season... some of my FA targets were bid repeated simply to keep them on the board - so much that they lasted the entire Free Agency period, and I was holding off on trades because of this.. I wanted to see what i could land with money.... then trade to fill holes or relieve what i had excess of... then sign backups to fill the further holes created...
Because the shitty free agency tactics and mechanics it was so drug out and then with the abrupt end.. there's no refining of the roster allowed.
