BG NFL Playoff Gridiron Challenge

[Byrd]

Suffering Fantasy Football withdrawl? Lo and behold, ESPN.com has a Fantasy Football substitute that takes place during the playoffs.

It's the ESPN.com Giridiron Playoff Challenge.

ESPN - Gridiron Playoff Challenge: Game Home

The group name is Bluegartr, the password is: lolcowboys

The game is pretty simple -- you have a salary cap of $50, and with this $50, you draft two quarterbacks, two running backs, two wide receivers, a tight end, a kicker and a defense. Players more likely to score big points cost more (i.e. Peyton Manning costs $7.1, Matt Leinart $4.5). Make the best team you can with $50, add up your score.

You can pick a new lineup both after this week, and after next, but you can not change your lineup after the conference championship games. So, basically, there's three weeks of picking players, and the third week's roster will last for two weeks. Point values will change after each week, but if you keep players on your team from one week to the next, you can retain the salary you initially picked them up for.

We did this last year, and Tyr won. But don't be stupid and do what I did and pick players with a bye week in week one, thinking you will save money on them come Super Bowl time, as you'll be missing far too many points to make up. Oh, here's some tips: ESPN - Gridiron Playoff Challenge: Gridiron Playoff Challenge: Choose wisely, be bold

Too late for that.

[Tyche]

No, your name is win and awesome. Keep it.

[Byrd]

Too late for that.

There's always one, isn't there? I never remember to write that in until someone signs up and I don't know who the hell they are, and I always have to go back and edit it.

The secondary option is to post here with who you are. It's annoying to try to figure out who the hell won the league if there's no name (happened to us in BG East FFL this year).

[Tyche]

Vade and recup won the BG leagues this year.

[Byrd]

Vade and recup won the BG leagues this year.

This year, yes, but we couldn't remember before the FFL draft this year who the hell won the league last year (it was Celeras), and somehow Tyr tracked him down, which is what I was referring to.

[Akiyama]

Am in.

[baralai80]

I'm under bara on there. C'mon Michael turner!

[tyven]

TeamOrton deserves recognition too.

It hard being the Detroit Lions of FFB. I should sooo be in that NFL.com fantasy football commercial about having a sucky team lol.



Edit: FOUND IT! I love the "First and Ted" team and "Behind the steel curtain" lol

Quick question: Do you play both QBs each week, or just draft two and play 1? This is huge

[Mizango]

Me? I draft Orton and play him even when injured.

He can do no wrong.

*fap

You play everyone you draft each week. No bench in this league.

Yeah, but you lost the tiebreaker. Explained on the bottom of this page:
