2025 FBG Subscriber Contest (3 Viewers)

[TheWinz]

Anyone have a link to last year’s results? I thought I won a free subscription but my memory sucks

Do you remember your 6 digit team number?

 

[steelerfan1]

Bye weeks will be much less complicated this season. Though, Bills and Ravens owning their own bye will will be interesting.

NFL should take a page out of the F1 playbook, and pause the season for a week after Week 8 or Week 9, and every team has the same bye week. Gets rid of any unfairness complaints, gets it all over in one week, makes FF players happy, gives everyone a chance to reset. Yes, that means that there is no NFL on TV for a week, but they could fill that with mid-season recap and end of season preview programming. Rip the bye week band-aid off, NFL.

Wait, so you suggesting the NFL give up a week of TV revenue?
lol. That’s hilarious!

okay, half the teams off in week 8, the other half on week 9

Not sure. All subscriptions were awarded right after the contest. You would have received an email on those.

If you think it's something you missed, you can shoot a PM to @Clayton Gray and he can confirm.

 

[TheWinz]

Based on past year's, we aren't much more than 1 week from contest opening. The contest querier from last year stopped working, and that's a good sign. I heard they are gonna have easter eggs in the form of 1 player at each position who's a real steal.

 

[TheWinz]

Folks, did you know you can enter the contest twice if you purchase another subscription? Or better yet, you can sponsor a poor person who's really good at FF? Cue the Sarah McLachlan music

I was going to suggest a pool for estimating availability date of the price list. I'll go Aug 5.

Can they do a reveal party like the MCU did for doomsday? Like one person at a time

 

[a_troll00]

The contest usually comes out the first week of August, typically on a Wednesday. Once, it came in the second week... so I'm going with August 6th.

 

[TheWinz]

30 July thru 6 Aug are the guesses.

Contest fun facts over the last 10 years...
- The difference between the most and least expensive QB's is $26, when Aaron Rodgers was $28 in 2017 and Andy Dalton was $2 in 2020. Dalton outscored Rodgers 196.60 to 186.35.
- CHI was the last D to cost $10 in 2019, and they finished D25. The year before, JAC was the only D for $10 and they finished, you guessed it, D25.
- The most common player was 2017 RB Kareem Hunt. He was $10, on 68.7% of teams, and finished RB4. Alvin Kamara was $2 less and finished RB3, but was only on 4.4% of teams.
- The only other 60%+ owned player was 2021 Gus Edwards. He scored exactly ZERO points!
- This one is for a certain poster - the most common WR was Josh Gordon in 2019

After week 1, he was WR29. He kinda went downhill from there.

Hey now, let's all just admit that even though he broke it, Gordon finished #1 our hearts that year

lol. Some confusing names in there.
Joique Bell? An RB that expensive can’t be someone I’ve never heard of before. (Googled him. He’s a real person. lol)
Andre Williams? Mychal Rivera? Many of these names are blasts from the past, but some of them are “wait? Who?”

Yeah, Rudi Johnson... remember picking him once, and he went down pretty early in the season.

I've been very hesitant to roster high priced RBs ever since.

 

[Jungle Karma]

has anyone heard if there will be a subsriber contest this year? I know they mentioned low participation last year. and no comments on a date for start of event this year. I lvoe thsi game, i hope it doesnt go away

There will definitely be a subscriber contest, and any paying subscriber gets to submit an entry. You are in the right thread here, so be on the lookout over the next few days. The contest should open soon. Best of luck to you!

I’m saying that **I** needed to google the name of the high priced RB that **I** drafted myself.

true...but it would be even better if the prizes were increased ten fold. (comment added to prevent our overlords from contemplating reduction in payout).

 

[dbc925]

This is my favorite fantasy football contest. I’ve played for years. I won $600 after having cashed in the money one year. It was 2022 or 2023.

My favorite NCAA tournament involves picking just five teams a 1-4, a 5–8, a 9–12, and a 13–16, all teams need to be from different regions. You’re fifth team is a wildcard and can be from anywhere.

But as a Pirates fan, my absolute favorite sports contest is:

The "Will They Trade the One Guy You Like?" Pirates Contest

This contest is a long game, much like the Pirates' rebuild. All participants have to do is predict which player will be the fan-favorite trade chip by the trade deadline.

* How it works: Before the season starts, everyone picks one player on the current roster who they believe will be playing for a different team by the end of the year. It has to be a player who is beloved, talented, and most importantly, affordable, making them a prime candidate to be dealt for "future assets."

* Scoring: You get a point if your chosen player is traded at any point during the season. You get a bonus point if the return for that player is a handful of prospects you've never heard of. You get a second bonus point if one of those prospects is a "3B/OF type" who is "still a few years away."

* The winner: The person with the most points at the end of the season wins. The prize? A single ticket to a mid-week game in September against the Cubs, a free hot dog, and the official title of "Ultimate Pirates Fan of Misery”.
