I liken setting up your team each week to practicing in real sports. If your team is lazy at 'practice' then you shouldn't win (leaving injured players in, players with byes that week, etc.)
Which is, of course, different than 'practicing' but overlooking a key element in your practices, as glatt pointed out you can miss so much, and things turn on a dime. This is where 'skill' (i.e. paying attention) can help but you can't foresee everything. To me, this is what makes it challenging and fun.
As a 'coach' I wouldn't advise another coach to watch their roster AFTER my team has played them. Seems sneaky. However, seems fair this week to say BigV watch your roster next week for injured reserves and byes. I need to get ahead of certain teams in overall points, and your participation next week could help me in this matter. Thanks buddy (does that clicky noise winky thing.) Good game this week though you didn't practice much.
