  1. We've got 20+ teams together to start an English Premier League style Dynasty startup. The first year, every team will be at the same level. Subsequent years, the league will be split into 16 team tiers with the Premier League at the top. At the end of each season, the bottom four teams will be relegated to the tier below. The top three or four teams will be promoted to the tier above. We'll also have an FA Cup tournament that runs during the regular season. Every team will compete in the FA Cup. The winner of the FA Cup will get automatic promotion to the Premier League. We need at least 32 teams to start so in Year 2, we'll have two tiers. That said, for a 32 team league, we need to start our draft by the end of July. If we have enough interest quickly, we could push for 48 teams to start. A 48 team league would need to start the draft by mid-July. There will be (1) copy of every play for each (16) teams, so 32 teams = 2 copies, 48 teams = 3 copies, etc. Each team can only hold 1 copy of a player. Every offseason, we can add another 16 team tier. The new tier will have their own draft of (1) copy of every player, rookies and veterans, and they will become the bottom tier of the overall league. We'll continue adding tiers until either we get to the 96 team MFL limit or the league collectively decides we're large enough. The entire league will be one large MFL league. When the league is split into tiers, the tiers will be different conferences that won't play each other outside the FA Cup. That said, trading between the tiers will be allowed. Draft pick trading will be allowed. The Rookie draft order will be set up to promote vertical mobility. The lowest tier will get the first 16 draft picks. The Premier League will get the last 16 draft picks. Scoring will be PPR and TE Premium with .25 points per carry. 50 man rosters with several IR spots and a Taxi Squad. Starters are: (1) QB (2) RB (3) WR (1) TE (1) RB/WR/TE Flex (1) QB/RB/WR/TE Flex (1) DT (2) DE (3) LB (2) CB (2) S (1) DT/DE/LB/CB/S Flex The League will be $50 buy-in, LeagueSafe. We're still tweaking the payout structure, but obviously, the bigger this whole thing gets, the more enjoyable it will be for the Premier League winner every year. The 1st and 2nd place in each tier will win a prize, as will the winner of the FA Cup. Once the league gets up to 48 teams, everyone in the Premier League at the end of the season will win $50 as an incentive to stay at the top. Obviously, we're looking for people who are in it for the long haul. If you drop to the bottom tier, it could take a couple years to get back to the top.

  2. We're starting a English Premier League style Dynasty startup. The first year, every team will be at the same level. Subsequent years, the league will be split into 16 team tiers with the Premier League at the top. At the end of every subsequent year, the top four teams in every tier will be promoted to the tier above and the bottom four teams will be relegated to the tier below. We need at least 32 teams to start so in Year 2, we'll have two tiers. That said, we'll plan on drafting in late July/Early August so if we get to 32 before that, we'll try to reach for 48. If there's enough interest, we could even try to go for 64. There will be 1 copy of every player for each 16 teams. So 32 teams = 2 copies, 48 teams = 3 copies, etc. Each team can only hold 1 copy of a player. Every offseason, we can add another 16 team tier. they will hold their very own draft of 1 copy of every player, rookies and veterans, and they will become the bottom tier. We'll continue adding tiers until either we get to the 96 team MFL limit or the Commish Committee decides the league is big enough. The entire league will be one large MFL League. When the league is split into tiers, the tiers will be different conferences that won't play each other. That said, trading between the tiers will be allowed. Draft pick trading will also be allowed. The Rookie draft order will be set up to promote vertical mobility. The lowest tier will get the first 16 draft picks. The Premier League will get the last 16 draft picks. The league will be PPR and TE Premium. We're still tweaking the scoring system to increase scoring for RB, WR and TE to counteract the Superflex. Offensive starters will be: (1) QB (2) RB (3) WR (1) TE (1) RB/WR/TE Flex (1) QB/RB/WR/TE Flex All the current members of the league have played in full IDP leagues so we're all open to making this a full IDP league (1 DT, 2 DE, 3 LB, 2 CB, 2 S and 1 D Flex). That said, filling the league is the most important thing and some people aren't eager to be in a full IDP league. So if you let me know that you're interested, please tell me your thoughts on IDP and whether it's a deal breaker either way. The League will be $50 buy-in, LeagueSafe. Everyone will pay the first two years when they join. We're still tweaking the payout structure, but obviously, the bigger this whole thing gets, the more enjoyable it will be for the ultimate winner every year. We're also working on paying out the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in every tier. Once the league gets large enough, we'll pay everyone who's in the Premier League at the end of the season $50 as an incentive to stay on top. Obviously, we're looking for people who are in it for the long haul. If we get all the way to 6 tiers and you get relegated a couple times, it will take several years to potentially get to the Premier League. You can check out the league here: http://www71.myfantasyleague.com/2016/home/79314#0 We've also started putting together the Constitution. It's a work-in-progress, but you can check it out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n2GkOE787LyjTlsrjgoh9pLGvfFY4urySv3YT7Jg0r8/edit?usp=sharing Email me at glaser.ben@gmail.com if you're interested.
  3. 4 spots left. Join today and we can be drafting soon.
  4. A couple of us who've been in leagues together are starting a Sports Movie-themed Dynasty league. 16 teams, several spots already filled. It'll be PPR with TE Premium. 50-man rosters with 5 IR and 6 Taxi Squad, no Devy. League will be on MyFantasyLeague. It'll be $50 a year via LeagueSafe. First deposit pay $75 for Year 1 and 50% of Year 2. All proceeds to the MFL fees and the winners. (6) playoff teams win $50 back. 1st Place wins $350 all told. We're looking for active owners. We want to have a little fun. We'll get a slow draft started as soon as the league is filled. Starting Lineups will be: (1) QB (2) RB (3) WR (1) TE (2) RB/WR/TE Flex (1) Kicker (1) DT (2) DE (3) LB (2) CB (2) S (1) DT/DE/LB/CB/S Flex (1) Head Coach Check out the league here (I'm still working on the League Banner...): http://www56.myfantasyleague.com/2016/home/67543#0 Check out the list of available movies here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xj2OPHsCpIT3riPqss66UjjCsuVvlFgMQbs5Cy8Fyug/edit?usp=sharing Blue highlighted movies have already been selected. Divisions will be selected based on what movies everyone wants to be since some movies can fall within multiple divisions. Eventually we'll have to start eliminating possibilities so those will be highlighted red. Email me if you're interested: glaser.ben@gmail.com
  5. I'm hoping to start a dynasty league and am looking for active members. I'm in another dynasty league and it's pretty dead in the offseason. That said, if you're looking for leagues in April, you'll probably be pretty active. I'm looking at Myfantasyleague because I've heard they're the best for dynasty leagues. My current one is on ESPN and it's not set up well for dynasty and it's a pain trading draft picks... I'm thinking 16 Teams. 45 man rosters with 4 IR slots. Starting lineups would be: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 RB/WR/TE Flex, 1 DT, 2 DE, 3 LB, 2 CB, 2 S, 1 DT/DE/LB/CB/S Flex, 1 K, 1 Head Coach Draft pick trading. Blind Bidding waiver wire with FAAB money trading. Maybe a $50 buy-in, to cover the cost of the league and provide some incentive to win, league safe protected. We'll probably have to do a slow draft so everyone can participate. We'll do a 4 round rookie draft every year. Let me know if you're interested. I'm still open to ideas. Nothing is set in stone yet.
