TOP EIGHT TEAMS: £250 each
WORST EIGHT TEAMS: nothing
(teams will be ranked on win-loss record, with points scored as a tie breaker, as at the end of the last week to be completed)
…and if we can’t even complete three weeks, I will spend all the entry fees on drink and drugs, and have a wild time at your expense. Or something.
League Set Up
There will be a 13 week regular season. At the end of that time, the top 8 teams will reach the playoffs (teams are ranked on number of wins - where two or more teams are level, total points scored is the tiebreaker).
For week 14, the number 1 seed will choose their opponent from the other 7 playoff qualifiers. Then the other six playoff qualifiers will be paired off automatically (highest remaining seed plays lowest remaining seed, second highest plays second lowest etc)
For week 15, the highest seed still in the competition will choose their opponent from the other 3 remaining teams. Then the other two remaining teams will be paired.
The roster will be: QB, 2RBs, 2WRs, 1TE, 1DEF, 1K, 1 Flex RB/WR/TE, 6 bench spots.
Scoring will be the default taken from the nfl.com fantasy league except where noted below:
The only difference to standard scoring is: individual offensive players will score 6 points for any touchdown they score, including punt returns and kick off returns. So if Tyreek Hill catches a punt and takes it back for a score, both Hill, and also the Chiefs defence / special teams will score points for this
Waivers
As with last year, we will use WAB (Waiver Acquisition Budget) for making in-season player pick-ups. All managers will have 200 waiver points for the season, and 3 ways they can use them:
Before draft day, I will contact each manager to ask them for a private bid of 0 to 200 points. The manager with the highest bid gets first choice of draft spot, next highest has second choice etc (two or more managers with the same bid will draw lots for priority). Each team will then have the amount of their bid deducted from their 200 points, to leave their remaining budget for the season
During weekly waivers all managers can use any or all of their budget to bid for unowned players (as detailed on the nfl.com fantasy site)
During the season, all managers can use any or all of their budget as part of a trade deal (for example Manager A gives Aaron Rodgers to manager B, in exchange for Daniel Jones and 50 waiver points)
