The live draft is set for: Friday, Aug 29, 2025 at 8:00pm BST (British Summer Time).
Entry fee £20 with 4 prizes:
£100 - Winner
£60 - Runner Up
£40 - 3rd
(*) + £40 to whoever posts the highest Weeks score (including post season - must be involved in a real game - not on a bye)!(*) This is a single prize paid at the end of the season and goes to whoever posts the highest one-off weekly score during the season (including play-offs / consolation bracket games - for those who make it). So even if you have a bad season and can’t make the championship play-offs proper you still have something to go for - set your line up weekly - post the top score of the season and you will get back double your entry fee.
Before applying to join this league please view the settings and make sure you are happy with them as I don’t plan to change them. I like continuity so I stick with the settings from the league’s inception in 2006. Which means this league is a 12-team league, is not a points per reception (non PPR), nor fractional scoring league. Rest of the leagues settings can be viewed here:
I have created the official waiting list at the bottom of this post to get in this league. So if you want in to the SMTM… league just post in this thread saying so and I will add you (though be warned the turnover in this league is slim as most GM’s return annually).

Current Members : Details Bolded once confirmed & paid entry fee for 2025
Last years players have until 23:59 on Thursday, 28th August (basically midnight this coming Thursday) to confirm they are coming back by posting on the leagues message board within the league at NFL.com under my post on the league feed or by replying here at TFP forum by posting on this thread. After the deadline any unclaimed slots will be offered to those on the waiting list.
I sincerely apologise for the short notice about the live drafts date and time this year but have had real problems getting the NFL.com Fantasy Football site to work properly since it rebooted for this season and auto activated this league. My default browser is Google Chrome and it did not like it - would not run the site as it should. I got so frustrated with NFL.com not responding to my please for help I made a video of what was happening and uploaded it to YouTube here:
I posted links on their X pages and messaged them but still nothing happened - no replies and no fix. I moved on to another browser I have on my lap top called Microsoft Edge and it would not even load NFL.com’s Fantasy Football. In desperation the last few days I’ve tried downloading other new (to me) browsers until I found one that seems to work - Brave.
Alas this has left me with very few options to fit in another live draft before the season starts as I run multiple leagues and games on the NFL. Hence the short notice. Sorry. If you cannot make the live draft and do not want to auto-draft please let me know ASAP so I can get in a replacement.
DISCORD Channel link: Show Me The Money on DISCORD - chat room
Slowly players are starting to come round to using Discord in my NFL fantasy leagues as it helps everyone engage with instant messaging - each of my leagues has its own dedicated room to discuss things about that particular league but there is a general chat area for anyone who partakes in any BLM fantasy games I run here: BLM Fantasy Games general chat room on DISCORD
PS I will be on the SMTM… Discord chatroom/channel during our live draft should people like to have a different app to communicate in while drafting other than the draft room itself.
SMTM Official Waiting List
If you are sure you want in to this money league then ask to go on this official waiting list and when a current member leaves the first person on the list will be offered the chance to claim that spot before the draft for the next season and so on down the list:
