@GolfSpy STUDque all my votes for format are in and I am trying to set up the rest of my franchise and get comfortable with the software.... Do you want questions coming to this thread or a DM in the MFL software?

Just post to this thread so other folks with the same issues can get answers too.

Okay that is cool.... Here are some questions:

1. point per rush... I voted for .5 and I assume that is rush attempt or is that .25 pt per yard? so 20 attempts per game =10pts? Is this for QB's as well as any other position player?

2.PPR TE bonus... I voted for 1 and I assume that is on top of the 1pt PPR? so Travis kelece has 10 catches 10+10=20pts?

3. When is draft order done?

not sure if I have anything else but trying to educate myself on this as much as possible... That golden ticket is an incredible prize!!!

Will the draft order be randomized right before the draft, or will there be a small competition to determine draft order? 

Example:  pick a golfer for this weekend to win, draft order is determined by where that player finishes for each person. Who gets to pick first can be randomized.

1. Points per yard are separate. I think it’s 10 yards per point. The thought behind points per rush is to reward the work horses that are given the ball a lot but don’t necessarily reach pay dirt. This is because most teams use committees nowadays. 
2. Not in addition, just flat value. Instead of being 1 point like everyone else, TE catches would be worth 1.25 or 1.5. I don’t think we had considered going higher than that. 
3. Draft availability will feed the division makeups which will feed a random draw for draft order.

Just something for the commish’s here but I need to be in Berg’s division so we can work out the particulars of the bet he won.  Unless he wants something else for destroying me!

Awesome thanks for the clarification.... i like the TE bonus since outside 1 or 2 most do not seem to have an impact as much and it would reward taking one that could impact... The points per rush I like as well but is it only for RB's? adding it to QB's would make Lamar to strong I feel.

Oh snap that's right! Nah, we'll come up with something else BnG... I'll be in touch.

Will fantasypros work on this site with split division drafts?...it did not work properly on fantrax last year and I got screwed during draft. That's my excuse for my poor performance...lol

Maybe this year I should implement the trade more than anybody strategy #BNGB.

[revkev 21,689]

Starting to get excited here -

 

Thanks Adam for taking care of this.  That is very kind of you!

[Steve2100 209]

Man, this might be too much for me to deal with.
How do I change my team name? Nowhere on the site are instructions for that.
I see there are polls on the mobile site, but no way to reply. Can’t find them in the app either.... Ugh.
I am always on my mobile, so not sure if it will be “easy” to participate and contribute via the app

Change team name go to league info and then to franchise setup.

Allright gang, we've got our playoff format together. Unfortunately, this can't be scored in MFL so we'll have to go manual once we get there. This is our best attempt to merge all of the needs - 3 week playoff, max teams in, rewards for a good regular season, and the ultimate Super Bowl. We'll break up the divisions once the polls are finalized.

 

In the regular season, you'll have 2 matchups per week and face off against everyone in your conference. 13 total weeks.

FANTASY FOOTBALL 101

 

Hey everyone, professor @Berg Ryman here to answer your basic questions and welcome you to what we like to call Fantasy Football 101. Here we’re going to cover some league basics, answer some questions, and hopefully make you a calmer player going into the season.

First, what is fantasy football? Well, you draft a team of players and based on their performance and stats on Thursday, potentially Saturday, and definitely Sunday you earn points. If you earn more points than your opponent, you win, if not, you lose. After 13 weeks, the top 6 teams from each division qualify for the play-offs, moving to a 3 week playoff for fantasy glory.

So, what will your team look like. Our league will have 14 teams, with 16 spaces on each team, which I’ll break down in a different paragraph because there are a few different things. You will start 9 players a week, at the following positions

1 Quarterback

2 Running Backs

2 Wide Receivers

1 Tight End

1 Flex (Either a Running Back, Wide Receiver, or Tight End)

1 Kicker

1 Team Defense

 

Those players will constitute your starting lineup, with a bench of 7 players. It is important to note that there is no positional maximum or minimum of players you may roster. So if you want to carry 10 running backs or wide receivers, you can. I wouldn’t recommend that at all, but you can do you I guess.

 

But Berg, I hear you say, what if one of my players tests positive for Covid-19 or goes on the PUP list, or some other thing? Well friends, that’s why we have 2 injured reserve spaces. These spots do not count against your 16 team roster, so should you have a player who gets injured or contacts Covid, you don’t have to drop them if you think they can come back for the season, you can drop them into an IR spot and pick up someone else.

 

How are we scoring these players? Well, you’ve seen the voting options for a couple of additional scoring categories to add, here’s the basic breakdown

 

Quarterback: .04 a yard (1 point for every 25 yards), 4 points per touchdown, -2 points per interception, 2 points for throwing a successful 2-point conversion

Rushing Scoring: .1 a yard (1 point every 10 yards), 6 points per touchdown, 2 points for running in a successful 2-point conversion, -2 points per lost fumble

Receiving Scoring: 1 point per reception, .1 a yard (1 point every 10 yards), 6 points per touchdown, 2 points for catching a successful 2-point conversion

Other scoring: A kick return or Punt return touchdown is worth 6 points for the player, as is a offensive fumble recovery touchdown.

Kicker Scoring: Field goals up to 30 yards are worth 3 points. Any field goal past 30 yards is scored as the yardage. For example, a 47-yard Field Goal is worth 4.7 points. Extra points are worth 1 point.

Defensive Scoring: 2 points for an interception, 2 points for a fumble recovery. 1 point for a sack. 2 points for a Safety, 6 points for a defensive touchdown. There are also the following score bonuses.

 

Team allows 0 points: 10 points

Team allows 1-6 points: 7 points

Team allows 7-20 points: 4 points

Team allows 21-29 points: 1 point

Team allows 30+ points: -3 points

 

Finally, we’ll talk about the draft. Now, each division will have its own draft. I will be a traditional Snake Draft, so that the player who picks first in round 1 picks last in round 2 and then first in round 3, etc. We’re going to try and keep those of you who voted for certain days and times together, but if you do end up in a situation where you might not be able to make the draft, you will have the opportunity to autodraft your team. More information about the draft will be coming in a subsequent post once all that gets set up.

 

And that concludes today’s lesson. Expect substitute teachers @Undershooter, @GolfSpy STUDque, and @Bucky CC to come in and make presentations during the preseason on other topics if need be. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

To help out I can make any night work as long as the draft doesn’t start later than 8pm cst. 

[Tarheelvolvo 509]

I am preparing my expert strategy of basic roster and then 10kickers! You will all be forced to trade your top players for a kicker by mid-season when Covid strikes the rest down, muahahaha!

I'm excited for this fantasy football. 

I'm dropping all of my other leagues, so I can solely concentrate here this season.

Is there a circus league or are we doing away with that for the season?

Believe it or not, circus used a bunch of premium features with Fantrax so no, we won’t be renewing it this year. We can cherish the good (silly) times we had. 

[Mtbryant01 478]

I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything. Have we split into divisions yet? I see everyone is under Bucky at the moment.
