  1. What we've got: 1 orphan franchise - 20 Team Dynasty - $60 Entry - MyFantasyLeague/LeagueSafe The AFFL is not something most ff players will be interested in. This is for the 1%'ers, the full time fantasy junkies - It's a 20 team league with.......EVERYTHING........Salary Caps, Contracts, Dead Money, Full flex offensive rosters, IDP, kick returners, punters, taxi, Franchise Tags, Team Captains, Extensive Offseason Activity, including off season free agency and trading with counter offers with an auction and draft for near year round activity This is who we're looking for: An owner that wants to be in a league with a lot of communication between team and commish and between all teams on the message board (participation isn't necessarily required, but there's a lot and keeping up with them, at least, is very helpful) An owner that will go into this planning to stick with us for at least 3 seasons (we have a very stable league - still have 11 original owners, 14 from first two years of the league) An owner who understands it may take a full calendar year to really get a good understanding of the whole set-up and rules of the league (The league rules are extensive; if you happen to be a rules junkie, like a couple of our owners, you'll enjoy looking for loopholes to exploit) An owner with a good head for numbers - because of the salary aspects of our league, you need to be the kind of person that just likes working with spreadsheets and numbers - our 2020 Champion happened to be a financial advisor And MOST IMPORTANTLY must be a fantasy football fanatic that wants to experience a whole new level of nearly year round full GM management of their team to a deeper level than ANY other league experience you've seen Here's what you'll get: Our owners don't have teams, they have franchises. The available franchise, in my opinion would be just outside of the top 10...maybe 12 or 13th in a preseason power ranking of the league, and their financials are very, very good, and will be easy for a new owner to take over. You will manage both personnel AND finances for your franchise with so many different available options, that each of the 20 teams in the league end up using much different strategies. Lots and lots of them. There are no position minimums. You can build your roster with a variety of position combinations (every team's is different). Your starting line-ups includes a Super Flex and 4 Flex, with scoring set up individually for each position. With our scoring system for example, a top tier RB will outscore a mid tier QB; in some cases, top tier RBs and WRs score better than some top tier QBs (our top 10 last year had all 3 positions, and also a couple of Safeties). This means you could forego a QB all together to invest in studs at multiple other positions and be just as successful (it's been done). The same is true on defense with 5 IDP starting spots and scoring different for each position...although you can also change some position designations (see how many options?) Setting weekly line-ups will be more like running a basketball team where you can plug in any number of personnel groupings. This means that 20 teams aren't all going get the exact same number of players at every position, and between that, and salary caps, and relatively small benches, even with 20 teams, there's more available talent in the draft and waiver wire than you'd expect. To give you just a tip of the iceberg of the financial aspect, when I say the league has "contracts", I'm not talking about just X player for X years at X salary. Each contract you sign will be an actual contract recorded in a linked spreadsheet league database, you'll select from different contract types, decide number of years, base salary, salary each year, bonus money, you'll be able to divert salary around the cap, restructure the contract midway through, extend it, option it, pause it with season ending IR, - and most of these options, usually has sub options and every all of them have pros and cons depending on the player and your own plans for him and your team. You'll have the ability to develop a deep, obsessive relationship with your fantasy team, I promise. So, like I said at the start, this is probably not for you, it's really not for most, and that's ok. We want a hundred people to pass on this so that the one guy that's really going to enjoy it will find it. Take a look at how extensive our league rules are (linked below) to get an idea of what you'd be getting into. This IS NOT a first come - first in situation. The league will consider and select from anyone that responds, but respond right away - our offseason has already begun and we're signing contracts already so we want to get you in and start getting you up to speed soon. Please email me directly at <associatedfantasy@gmail.com> I see them much more quickly than responses on this thread. AFFL League Rules AFFL Scoring Rules AFFL Contract Rules
  2. OK, here's the deal, we've got a 20 team salary cap dynasty league (details in a minute) that had 4 orphans. It's a pretty complex league, with lots of deep level management options, that's something only a true fantasy nerd would enjoy, but definitely not for the casual player. We advertised, and a guy joined the league, then said his dad and friend wanted to join too. OK, cool, we said. The first thing I realized is that none of the three really understood most of the rules. We went through our offseason contract period, where teams set up their player contracts, and not only did none of these guys really understand the rules, it was hard to get in touch with them by email to help them correct their mistakes. Then I started noticing when they did email, or submit their contracts, it was often within minutes of each other. Then we went through our Free Agent Auction...again, they didn't understand the parameters, and were making bids beyond their salary cap, etc, Again I started seeing bids coming in from more than one of them within minutes of each other. When I cancelled one of their bids because they couldn't afford the player and were just running the price up for other teams, then sent one of them an email telling them to stop. They bid again. When I canceled that bid, one of the other 2 bid. Now we've entered our pre-season trading period, and the last straw has been reached: One of the teams sent a trade offer to the other giving up Mahomes for Goff and the offer was accepted in the same minute it came in. Nope. That's it. I'm done. But here's where I need some help from 3 of you guys....I need 3 new owners in a hurry. Making the issue worse, it's the kind of complicated league that only the most hard core fantasy player will enjoy, appreciate, and be able navigate - there's just a lot of moving parts. And then, on top of all of that, most of the offseason moves this guy has made to the three teams cannot be undone (because it would cause a ripple effect to the other veteran teams)....however, all three are good solid teams (one was last year's runner up) and they haven't really damaged the rosters, it's just that any coach that takes them over now, missed the chance to set up their own contracts and be part of the auction. Annnnnnd there's one more thing making it complicated..... remember I said we had 4 orphans? Well, a guy joined the league after them, and took on a real trash team as a rebuilding project, and in return, we only charged him a $10 entry fee (regular entry is $60). For fairness, I would have to give him first option on these three teams when I kick this cheater out, so that means one of the available teams might end up being a $10 rebuilding challenge. I know there's 3 of you out their willing to help me put this scumbag cheater out of the league.....email me, please, or respond below and I'll get back to you quickly. Here's the original ad I ran: The AFFL is a 20 team USFL Tribute League and it won't be everyone's cup of tea - if you're looking for just a simple fantasy league, this definitely is NOT for you. BUT, if you're looking for the deepest, most involved, full team management ff experience, you need to check this league out. This is a dynasty/salary league with too many features and details to mention - Salaries based on a mix of individual players' prior season scoring and market demand for that player, and also includes a salary cap with cap penalties and signing bonuses Starting Line-Up: 1 offensive super-flex, 4 offensive flex, kicker, punter, kick returner, 5 IDP flex Position management is handled with position minimum/maximums at the full roster level, which gives individual teams a wide range of options for starting players by position. That, in turn gives teams the ability to use multiple strategies for how they want to build their team Scoring is highly customized and designed to mimic a player's real world value a lot more accurately than standard ff scoring and is set up so that player value is more closely related to performance than to position In other words, defensive studs are just as valuable as offensive studs and a mediocre QB (for example) is not going to be nearly as valuable as a stud at some other position You can check out the Full Scoring Rules at this link You can also check out our 2020 Scoring Revision Report for a detailed explanation of all scoring values and numerous charts and graphs detailing how the values were put together and showing the parity of scoring across the various roster positions New this year are Contract Rules allowing you to put some of your players under long term contracts to lock their salaries in place The contract rules are deep, including options for length, type of salary structure, managing the distribution of salary payments across the multiple years of a contract, extensions, franchise tags, restructuring and an offseason free agency period - just like the NFL - conducted by a long-running, 30 day online auction where you can steal players from other teams if you're willing to pay those players more and sign them to a better contract These new contract rules are extensive, with too many features to list but they offer more control over your individual roster than any league out there You can view the Contract Rules at this link Other Features include: Trade Counter Offers - so that teams can wiggle their way into a trade deal between two other teams Draft Day Trading Home/Away scheduling with home field advantage in both the regular season AND the playoffs Divisions Realigned EVERY season by realignment draft to insure year to year parity of competition Self-Scheduling - teams can schedule their own out of division match-ups each year (like in the NCAA) to establish and maintain rivalries Off-Season Trading Extensive Stats kept and tracked A full 12 month League Calendar of activity - extensive off-season management events means you won't spend long hours through the spring and summer waiting for the fantasy season to return because you'll be busy managing your team And much more....check out our League Page and also our League Rules at these links This league is set up so that teams can find success through a wide range of management strategies - focus on building EITHER an explosive offense OR a smashmouth defense OR go for a balanced approach; go all in big to try and win right away or dig in for the long term. It's not a league for the casual player, BUT if you're a real fantasy nerd looking for an intense, full-management league, you've just found it. The AFFL is hosted on MyFantasyLeague with a $60 entry through LeagueSafe (covers hosting fees and buy-in) All entry fees (after hosting fees) are paid out - Payouts awarded to 1st-6th place AND also to regular season points winner and single game high score The available orphan teams include rebuilding projects as well as immediate contenders. You can check out each team's existing roster at the League's MFL Roster Page and see their draft position on the League Page Available franchises are: Gamblers -$60 (last year's runner up) Gunslingers -$60 Panthers - $60 Express - $10 rebuild project

  4. We have 4 orphaned teams available in a dynasty/salary league with too many features and details to mention - but first a WARNING: this league is not for the casual player; if you're looking to just draft and then set your line-up, the league is not for you. ON THE OTHER HAND, if you're a serious FF nerd, looking for a league where you'll obsess over your team 12 months out of the year and have the ability to manage it like it's a real organization, you've just stumbled on the greatest league you'll ever be a part of.
