The 7-Day Lineups screen is a great tool, particularly for online leagues. With 7-Day Lineups, you can manually set your lineup for each of the next seven calendar days. Since you can see your opponents and their projected starters, it gives you a great chance to make sure your best players are in the lineup for that big rivalry game:
Overall, the functionality on the 7-Day Lineups screen is similar to that in the Lineup sub-screens. Drag players from the roster box in the top left down to the individual lineup days in the bottom half of the screen. You can use the drop-down under the roster box to toggle between showing player ratings and player statistics. You can also use the Clear Lineup button to blank out a certain lineup or the Paste Lineup vs X button to quickly paste in the lineup you configured for that particular game scenario. There are several additional options in the top right pane of the screen.
| Option | Description |
| Use 7-day lineups | Defines whether or not the 7-day lineups are used. The 7-day lineups will be used only if this value is set to YES. |
| Allow use of alternative lineup | Allows the AI to change your selected lineup 'on the fly' if necessary. For example, let's say your Wednesday game is projected to be against RHP Brian Smith. However, on Tuesday your opponent's star LHP comes off the disabled list and gets inserted as the Wednesday starter. If you have this value set to YES, then the AI will change your lineup and play your Versus LHP lineup. If this is set to No, then your planned 7-day lineup for Wednesday will play regardless of any changes in your projected opponent. |
| Allow use of depth chart | Allows the AI to make changes to your defensive starters due to injury or fatigue. If this is set to No, the AI will play the starters in your depth chart even if they are fatigued. If this is set to Yes, the AI might change your lineup if your starters are fatigued. |
| Sit starting pitcher if tired | Determines whether the AI should rest your starter if he is tired. If this is set to "No, force start," your starter will start regardless of his fatigue |
| Clear lineup after use | Clears the lineup for the selected day after the day is over. If set to No, then your daily lineup for each of the seven days will remain in effect for each week until you manually change them. |
| Clear all lineups | Clears all 7-day lineups. (This will not affect the lineups you might have configured on the Versus lineups sub-screens.) |
| Auto-fill all lineups | Fills all lineups for the current 7-day period with the appropriate Versus lineups. That is, if the projected starter is a RHP, then the game will put in your Versus RHP lineup, etc. |
Note: These settings work in conjunction with those on the Pitching screen. If you are in an online league that simulates more than seven days at a time, you should ALWAYS choose "Start Highest Rested Starter"! Failure to do so could result in some unexpected players starting games.
