Played on MFL usually, sometimes fantrax. Also played on a dedicated forum and we usually use group me as a information app.

Luck is needed but usually the best players win eventually


Not sure if I've ever posted a roster here but here's a couple of mine right now (we're in mid draft season so done 4 or 4 have 3 or 4 to go)

This is my Steelers team in Redzone, I'm going to need to cut that down a bit, bit had no draft picks this year trading them away to cover injury when I made a run last year. Beaten in the divisional round by the eventual champion

That team has a salary cap around 120M but some leagues have a cap of 220-240M ...


I play in 8 Full Sims plus 2 16 team dynasties and a couple of "purely for fun" leagues like Trekkies and Lord of the Rings League played on

Thanks Faaip

Is there a real simple NFL fantasy league, similar to FPL, that requires less time and effort to play and maintain?

E.G. just for the regular season and play offs.

[1964white]

A decent night scores for me.

Which leaves me with a dilemma, whether I stick or bust.

[1964white]

Anyone making substitutions or transfers?

[The Subhuman]

Anyone making substitutions or transfers?

Don't make transfers til the first round ends unless you really need to dump someone, they won't be available till then anyway and you never know with injuries.. Once Columbia have played we go into round two (or week two if you like) then we get two transfers

I've made two substitutions. Raphinha out and Mac Callister in, and I did the goalie switch to see how it worked

Thanks mate, but I can make subs if I'm prepared to lose points already accumulated.

One of them didn't play for Morroco, the other only scored one point.

Oh yeah get the subs in ... I meant don't transfer till end of round 1

[Muppet the Cat]

A successful Rd 1 conquest……….but will it continue

[The Subhuman]

Poor for me, too many non starters

don't forget to use your bonuses folks, think we can use one a week and there are not many weeks


I've used my wild card to switch out a few players who weren't playing

[Muppet the Cat]

I think I cocked up applying my 12th man booster as I changed my mind a few times and then it wouldn’t activate, so not sure if I ran out of chances, or it ticked past 5pm. I thought the first game today was on at 6pm, but no it was a 5pm start.

It’s so blooming complicated. Would much prefer it if you just had to choose a team and you stick with that for the duration, with none of this fannying around with changes, boosters, wildcards etc…

Watch me now tumble down the table

[Cjay]

Was happy enough with my 1st round so only made 1 change.

Ironically a player I had in originally but panicked because I thought his visa hadn't come.

Totally agree Cat.

I have been stuck in Hull Royal Infirmary with Jill having scans/etc

Never even gave the transfers a thought.

Some of us do have a life, even though both of us would rather forget eight hours of today.

Oh christ, hope all is well. There are a lot of more important things in life at times than games

Jill is OK, indications of a mini-stroke, first one happened four years ago, her consultant had upped her medication that was reduced by one of the idiotic GP's a few months ago.

Thanks Faaip.
