ONE OPENING $80 Auction League Starting Sunday

[TheMathNinja 0]

The Analytics Fantasy League is looking for a dedicated owner to fill one franchise vacancy for the 2017 NFL season. We are a statistically-minded, 32-team NFL-like redraft fantasy league modeled to simulate real NFL team management, and we are entering our 5^th year. The AFL is a full-IDP money league with an analytics-based scoring system that creates for NFL-like player valuations. The format's target fantasy player is the competitive, active fantasy football addict who wants a more realistic fantasy football experience.

 

For those wanting a dynasty experience, AFL players get top priority for new franchise openings in our 32-team salary cap/contract partner league, the Analytics Dynasty League, for which the AFL serves as the primary onboarding process.

 

The AFL was featured on RotoViz's "The Numbers Game Podcast" on July 16, 2015 because of our innovative approach to a more realistic fantasy football format. Find the discussion here.
