Warrior General Games

It's called EFS and is the fantasy football equivalent of being an NFL GM. Cost is $50/year with no prizes, but it is year around and a shitload of fun for what works out to being $4/month imo. You can also trade draft picks up to 3 years in advance.

Convoluted rulebook can be found here: http://dynasty.efsports.com/ftp/EFS_Rules_2004.pdf

Basics
>53-man roster (8 man practice squad) that you control 12 months/year
>Start 24 players every game (11 offense, 11 defense, K, P) Only one is a QB one is a RB like real life...
>Position specific scoring, you can play players out of position with a penalty (within reason)
>Real-time Salary cap and contract year cap
>16 team league with position specific scoring
>NFL draft for ALL new rookie players
>RFA and UFA bidding

Anyone who is interested in taking over a team for the long haul is welcome. This is especially cool for people into the NFL draft as you can see how your favorite players develop. My team's league has 5 teams open we are looking to fill. Me and 3 other current GLBers are in this league (Bonecrusher Bronson, timpjynx and mystikalilusion)

======================

I of course can go a lot more in-depth later as far as the tools you'll have to improve your team, and any other questions/tips I can answer. Overall it's a lot of fun, with very little time commitment necessarily needed (in-season free agent bids are on a 2-day clock, off-season is a 3-day clock I think).

The "Avg In" column is how many points per game they got last season, and "Pos Rank" is how good they did at their position. As an example an "avg in" of 19.56 and a "pos rank" of 4 means he scored 19.56 points/game, and was the 4th best as his position in the NFL. They are 16 EFS teams, so if its a spot like HB, the top 16 are good starter value, a spot like DE it is top 32 just for reference. You start a realistic 11 offense, 11 defense, 1 K, 1 P. Last year the best teams in our league averaged about 430 points/game, with the worst team coming in at 315 points (just for reference).

I wouldn't worry about Salary cap or years available, as none of these teams are in salary cap hell. If you click on "simple view" near the top of the page you'll go to a simpler screen which also shows all draft picks for the next 3 years.

Right or wrong, people generally value CB, S, DT, Oline, K, and P less than other positions, though a significant portion of your points still come from these spots. QB is #1 with ILB being #2 most valued, but spots like OLB, DE, HB, WR, TE are still very much valued.

===========ALL TEAMS FILLED============



Any questions let me know in this thread or via PM. If you DO want a team PM me so I can get you in contact with the EFS for a sign-up link.

Is this from the same folks that do Dynasty League Baseball? If so, it's likely to be a great game.

No prizes?

all five of those teams look terrible

You can build them up. But honestly with a 16 team league they aren't terrible by any means. One has pick 14 which means they lost on the 2nd Rd of the playoffs.

With ufa, RFA, and the draft you have a lot of tools to improve your squad.

Some leagues cost more to get in and have prizes.each league decides their buying but the site takes x50 a team for their administration costs. Imo it's well worth. There is another $250 league with teams available which would have a $200 x 16 is $3200 prize pool if that's more your think. I think the year around fun is well worth it!

Looks like we will be down to four teams available shortly. Again I am happy to answer any questions for anyone that is interested.

Being able to build a team is a lot of fun imo. Kinda like glb with no coordinating and recruiting.

Sorry that nobody wants to play your stupid game.

Better luck next year.

I can't get past the $50 a year with no prizes

16 teams, so $800

who exactly gets that money?

The site itself. They are not a huge site like yahoo or ESPN where they offer any other services to supplement running the fantasy football, and they provide a unique niche service as not other fantasy football is realistic full team starters with a full suite of places to build and control your team.

Personal choice but $50 for something I'll play more and enjoy more than any video game is so easily worth it.

$50/team is what they charge, and my league decided that is fine without a larger buyin that would award prizes. There are leagues with bigger buyins like $250 where 200x16 means 3200 goes to the prize pool. The problem with that is while there is value in building and shaping a bad team over a couple years (and satisfaction one should feel for improvement) you are not incentivized to do so with a high buyin you would basically be donating for a few years to the winner.

There's a $250 league with some openings if that is your ticket (and 80% payout is pretty good in ffb circles), but again for me that isn't really worth it.

For what it's worth the last 3 seasons I didn't make the playoffs, but my team won the championship last season. Hence building the team you want and making roster moves cuz ur smarter than nfl gms I'd the point.

For reference $50 is like 2/3 of a wr in glb...

Sounds like a con to me.
