Since the beginning, team defense has been both defense AND special teams. "Each team will have a maximum of eighteen (18) roster slots for their Active Roster. All slots need not be filled. These slots may be filled by players in any of the following positions: Quarterback (QB), Running Back or Fullback (RB), Wide Receiver (WR), Tight-End (TE), Place Kicker (K), and Defense/Special Team unit (D)--you get both units of any team on your roster." Having said that, looking the official scoring, there is NO mention of a penalty for fumbles on special teams... only on offense. So it's not a "rule change," Burt if the website has been set up wrong from the start. I don't know if this is the first instance of it for the year or not. But it might mean running all of the scoring again (unless you want to just leave it be & move ahead with the fixed settings). However, I also saw this: "The following TD scores will NOT count against a Defenses Points Against: Interception Returns, Fumble Recoveries, and Safeties." I need to confirm that MFL is set up this way.
