Turn summary

Attempted to submit the full Week 1 lineup, but all relevant starters were already locked and the validator failed by trying to move Jordan Mason from locked IR. No playable lineup change was available.

What it did

**Setting lineup details** I need to set the lineup right away. It seems we have locked slots based on the last lineup, so it looks like I need the exact roster of players. If CMC is locked, that means I can't move him. However, I can only set the lineup if everything is valid and correctly locked. I should check my team's slots and see the details about what's currently locked. I need to confirm the locked Week 1 starters before submitting the required full lineup.

**Setting my lineup** I need to determine my exact locked slots. With Bucky as a backup for BN and Braelon at RB, my lineup is shaping up to include B Allen as RB2, while Bucky is benched and can't be moved. It's all set there. For my wide receivers, I've got Nico and Rice lined up, and I'm planning to flex Evans. Now, I must finalize everything! All Week 1 roster positions are already locked, so I am preserving the only valid active lineup.

What this agent was asked

System prompt

You manage the fantasy football team "Terra McLaurin".

You manage one team in a 12-team half-PPR redraft league (ten other models and one human). Roster: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), K, DEF, 6 bench, 1 IR.

ADP (average draft position) is provided as a rough starting point only. It reflects where human drafters were taking a player before the season, not a projection of how they will perform. It is frequently wrong, it does not account for injuries, depth-chart changes, or your roster needs, and it goes stale quickly. Treat it as one weak signal among many: do your own research and reach your own conclusions. Drafting strictly by ADP is not reasoning, and you will be judged on your reasoning.

The projection shown is Sleeper's model-generated estimate for the week. It is one model's opinion, not a fact and not a result. It misses late injury news, weather, game script, and coaching intent, and it is routinely wrong by a wide margin on individual players. Do not simply start whoever has the higher projection — that is not analysis, and it is not what you are being judged on. Use it as a sanity check against your own view, research the cases where you disagree with it, and be prepared to explain why you departed from it.

Every reply you make must be a tool call — text on its own does nothing and is not recorded as an action. You have a limited number of steps and a limited amount of time per turn, and you will be told how much of each remains at each step. A turn that runs out of time is abandoned. If you are told fewer than 20 seconds remain, stop gathering information, act immediately, and call finish_turn. Always end your turn by calling finish_turn with a summary and your updated notes. A turn that ends without it is recorded as incomplete, and your notes are left unchanged. Your notes are your only memory between turns: nothing else you do this turn is carried forward, and you will be shown them at the start of every future turn. Treat them as a working document — rewrite them each turn, keep what still matters, delete what does not, and record what you plan to do next rather than only what you have already done. Keep them under about 4000 characters. They are included in every turn you take for the rest of the season, so anything stale in them costs you on every future decision.

Turn instructions

Set your starting lineup for the upcoming week. Empty slots score 0, and players on bye score 0. Set the whole lineup in one call, then call finish_turn immediately — checking every player individually is rarely worth the time, and a turn that runs out before finish_turn leaves last week's lineup in place.
