◦Aside from the cap, there are no roster limits or positional requirements at all. Take only five players, or take 40. Take all QBs, or take none. It's up to you.

Wow this will be interesting. I completely forgot about this last year. I blew a hamster wheel trying to strategize the format.
So if you have say 15 guys on your team all different positions the top 5 will count?◦Aside from the cap, there are no roster limits or positional requirements at all. Take only five players, or take 40. Take all QBs, or take none. It's up to you.

You will get the top 2 scoring players from each NFL team count towards your roster score. That could be 2 (all 15 guys on 1 team), that could be 15 (No more than 2 guys on 1 team).Until the super bowl, then everyone counts.

Reading the replies, it sounds like lots of people will misunderstand the rules and try to fill a "regular season" entry. I wonder if we can somehow use that to our advantage.
I think this is the hardest contest that FootballGuys has. I enjoy the Regular Season one the most, but I do enjoy looking at this one for a few hours every year. But I do not remember the Kickers and Defenses costing so much before.

I have no flipping clue how to fill this out.

I think I have a pretty good strategy but will have to get lucky with the right teams advancing.

This is a pretty cool contest. I like the fact that you can't change the lineups at all past this Saturday, so you have to balance picking the best players in the playoffs, including some who aren't playing until next week, with players that will get you through this week and past the first cut.
killrobotkill
Footballguy
Yeah, you're not only picking the best players, but indirectly picking teams too.

you click the little boxes next to the players you want and then click "submit team" at the bottom when you are done.
CrossEyed
Footballguy
Not only that, but you're betting against the herd as well. If enough people go with a heavy round 1 roster it could eliminate a lot of people with a balanced lineup right off the bat.

It's really eaiser to just read the rules. Not being a smart ###, but it will put you a huge leg up.So if you have say 15 guys on your team all different positions the top 5 will count?◦Aside from the cap, there are no roster limits or positional requirements at all.

Left mouse button..click it several times.
Doug...take a look at this
Ties in the first three rounds will advance. For final standings, tiebreakers are as follows.
1st tiebreaker - greatest number of players on your roster (each D/ST counts as one player).
2nd tiebreaker - total combined score of all players on your roster for all weeks of the contest. This includes all scores, even those that did not count in the first three rounds.
3rd tiebreaker - greatest number of $2 players on roster.
4th tiebreaker - greatest number of $3 players on roster.
5th tiebreaker - greatest number of $4 players on roster.
etc.
Ties will share prizes. For example if 4th and 5th place tie, each would receive $87.50 + their subscription.
You may want to be more specifc or clarify further.

I didn't understand why people were so confused by the rules last year, and I won't understand why people are confused by them again this year, but anything that creates more "junk" entries is fine by me. So let's not go overboard explaining them in detail here - a link to the rules is in the OP and can be bumped if people ask, they're not hard to understand.

Well, I do and they don't play week 1 so it makes it real tough to field a team w/o sacrificing to much week 1Only if you think the Patriots are going to the Super Bowl.This contest is nearly impossible to field a solid team w/o using a bunch of hacks

Spoken like somebody who hasn't read the rules.Each participant will be able to choose any player from the pulldown lists as long as the team is at or below the cap value of $250. Players not on the pull down lists are not available.
The trick, I believe, is finding the pulldown lists. I'm still searching; they seem pretty well hid.

Current roster breakdown:
4 QB
4 RB
7 WR
3 TE
1 Def
Problem: mix of players only has 6 real solid plays for WC weekend and some longshots. Back to the drawing board...

This is very difficult.
No D's or kickers at the moment.

Fascinating values for K and DEF. I'm guessing it's an experiment by Doug. I think I'm going to fail it.
