You can't use a Free Player Slot on a position that's in Low Demand. Otherwise, everyone would just use their Free Player Slot to make RBs and QBs, and the game would have an even bigger glut of RBs and QBs than it already has.
RBs are usually -- but not always -- in Low Demand. If you want a free RB, the trick is to start checking the demand levels the instant that Day 40 rolls over to Day 41 and keep checking them as often as possible... maybe even every 5 minutes or so if you're that patient. Day 41 is when people usually start mass-retiring their players, but sometimes there's a couple days of lag-time before those people start rolling their new dots, so there's usually a brief window in there somewhere where RB's end up in Average Demand. BOOM. That's when you roll your shiny free RB.

I dont see a point in restricting it for any reason. Esp in the state the game is in right now. Everyone should be able to use their free player for those slots anyway. It wouldnt raise or decline the # of RBs/Qbs you see in the game. Just sucks when some people cant afford to make a 300FP dot and cant make a free one either. Example wanna make a restart team, was gonna let a buddy make the Rb, but he doesnt have enough flex. So now ill have to make the RB most likely and he use his free guy on a 200fp dot

you're better off. if the dude can't swing an extra 100 flex for a RB he's not gonna be able to afford Custom EQ so he would've been a sorry RB anyway. think about that before you sign his 200 point dot.

Its not just 100 flex. Its also an extra 300flex each season to boost. Been playing with the dude since S1. Nothing to worry about for builds. We are just all never spending more money on the game so running on recycled flex.

forgot about boost costs, i only play my free dots and free dots get free boosts .
i'm never spending more money on this game, either...haven't bought flex since 2009.

you just made the case of why hb are hard to make with free players. more flex is spent because not everyone can make a free hb. also by limiting the free hb and qb, the number of teams/leagues finally got to be reduced which saves money for glb. when everyone makes free hb, there's way too much whining about how their no ce players cant find good homes.

as far as i know, anyone can use their free dots to make a HB...or any other position, for that matter.
if you can't find a home for your dot, retire him and make another dot.
don't they still list which dots are in high demand and which are in low demand?
