Okay, so this system makes a lot of sense. At the end of the year, you note the number of NFL starts and NFL games the player appeared in (2nd and 3rd numbers after each player). In the first number, you then define how many starts they made for you.

If you don't have enough starts at a position, you can start a player up to the number of games they appeared in. But you can't start using non-starts unless you've used up all of your starts at that position.

So for example if you have the following players at a position:

Player A: 10 starts, 10 games
Player B: 3 starts, 16 games
Player C: 0 starts, 5 games
Player D: 0 starts, 2 games

You have to use the 13 starts first, and then you can use anyone else for the next 3 as long as you aren't using them for more games than they appeared in. So in the above example, you know you have

10 starts for Player A, and you can't use him any more
3 starts for Player B, and you can give him up to 13 more starts. (You only need 3, but you could also use him at another position if he can keep you from using a scrub there.)
0 starts for Player C, and you can use him for up to 5 more starts.
0 starts for Player D, and you can give him 2 starts but no more.

You would only use a scrub if you didn't have enough game appearances to cover the starting spots.

For example if you had

Player A: 6 starts, 6 games
Player B: 3 starts, 6 games
Player C: 0 starts, 1 game
Player D: 0 starts, 1 game

You'd have all players making their maximum starts (6, 6, 1, 1) and you'd have to use a scrub for the last two games, or give the starts to someone else at another position.

The bottom line rules are this:

No player can start more games than he appeared in.

You have to use all your starts at a position before you can start counting appearances as starts.

Using the codes in the posts below, the rightmost number is the number of games appeared, so you can never start the player more than that number.

Sound good? This is easy to work with and only requires looking up the games started and games played at the end of the season. Not that much work.
