Are there really that many more people getting into dynasty or something? Or does the average person have 10-20 dynasty leagues these days? The FFPC has thousands of dynasty leagues and hundreds more out there every year.
It's a complete mystery. It's impressive.You’d think it would hit a breaking point at some point where with all these new leagues and so many jumping ship each year they will eventually fail on filling these awful teams. Amazing they have never folded a league yet…
I tell myself that each year.You’d think it would hit a breaking point at some point where with all these new leagues and so many jumping ship each year they will eventually fail on filling these awful teams. Amazing they have never folded a league yet…
I saw a team with zero players I wouldn't cut, and no current draft picks.I tell myself that each year.You’d think it would hit a breaking point at some point where with all these new leagues and so many jumping ship each year they will eventually fail on filling these awful teams. Amazing they have never folded a league yet…
According to fantasymojo.com there were 942 dynasty leagues on the FFPC platform going into the 2022 offseason. I don't know how many startups were added but I doubt it was 100s. The point still stands, though, it is remarkable they keep filling.Are there really that many more people getting into dynasty or something?

That's .........a very interesting idea.There needs to be an option to swap teams with someone else. I've got decent teams where I'm tired of the league or sick of the format (I prefer Triflex or superflex to single QB leagues), and, since selling the team is difficult, I would gladly swap one of mine for someone else's if the teams are comparable and we each prefer the others' format.
As long as you allow me to buy the #1 draft slot..........kidding....... maybeI’m not specifically looking for a new dynasty league AND I’m especially not interested in joining a new league with randoms, but if most of the folks in our current SharkPool FFPC league And/or some other regulars here, are interested in a new dynasty league, I’d be game for a different dynasty format than the 1QB we currently have going. Like a superflex. That said, I’m not volunteering to wrangle this list of 12 folks but maybe someone here is interested and my post is the spark they needed![]()
I’d love to give that a shot, but can’t get myself to click “join” for another random FFPC since I’m now spoiled with the SharkPool leageue we have. Once they open up their new dynasty leagues this/next month, maybe we can rally some troops to form a new triflex dynasty league of SharkPoolers.The Triflex is![]()
I just joined one with 4 spots left... #53495...same one?Joined another 2hr $125 never too early, 4 spots left
The can afford to eat bad teams because their payout % is so low. And presumably for each new league they'll probably have 2-3 years of fully raking the excess entry fees before a team gets crappy enough to sell for $1.You’d think it would hit a breaking point at some point where with all these new leagues and so many jumping ship each year they will eventually fail on filling these awful teams.

BSOL is my primary nom de guerre in dynasty, took it from one of my fav movies Life Of Brian (BrightSideOfLife). While drafting I often use the name of a Beatles song, but in the end I usually change it. For redraft I've decided to just go ahead and use it right off the bat.
I don't know, but I've been in dynasty leagues with them for a decade.
The FFPC has Dynasty leagues?
I played in the redrafts when they first launched but in recent years have not participated
When did the FFPC first launch?

hey, maybe you guys can collude your way to a championship!!!!!!

The owners of the FFPC were original players in the WCOFF, like me(and maybe you) but I do not believe they ever had an ownership stake in the WCOFF.

Pretty sure the folks who started FFPC used to run World Championship of Fantasy Football (WCOFF). They sold WCOFF, the new owners were terrible, and the old WCOFF guys started FFPC.
My friends and I started with WCOFF main event teams in the 2000s but went with FFPC in 2011 and have done it ever since.
I think Bateman was the only one that was at least on my list because of Lamar/Andrews but even if I could have got him I'm not sure I would have. But yeah I like getting the lay of the land in a live fashion myself (or slow - I just mean as opposed to mocks).Not really, lol.Here is my 1QB Never Too Early 2 hour slow draft results (from the one I was in with @menobrown):

Feel pretty meh on my team. This draft actually finished a little bit before my 6 hour slow draft which started 10 days earlier so this qualifies as my first completed draft of the new 2023 season. I enjoy the first few drafts and getting a lay for the new land and I usually come out of these drafts with an idea on where I need to focus on some positions
For other people's information as luck would have it me and Barack ended up drafting next to each other, 4 and 5 spots. I do think we did not step on each other to much, I may never have taken a player you would have taken one pick in front of you. You did twice, Dotson and Andrews though on Andrews I was almost pulling for it as I did not want to start TE/TE, but I was going to if he was left.
My 6 hour slow draft took 16 days. I honestly don't think I've ever had a startup, with trades and all that stuff to work out, that took 16 days. I had b2b picks and would not pick for days after I made a pick. I'm 100% out on that for rest of year, maybe for ever.I'm in the 17th of a 6 hour slow that was the first one I started.

My friends and I started with WCOFF main event teams in the 2000s but went with FFPC in 2011 and have done it ever since.
The WCOFF was sold after a few years and things went downhill in a hurry. Before WCOFF totally shuttered the people who founded and run the FFPC(Alex and Dave) I believe saw the way things were heading and new a lot of the gripes people had. I want to say the e-mail I got telling me about the FFPC was billing it as For Players by Players. I may be making this up but I thought part of that was that WCOFF was trying to go big time, bringing in a bunch of celebs to draft and FFPC was trying to show itself as the event created by similar high stakes players for fellow high stakes player. That seemed to be the message I got anyway.
The previous season I had entered a $5k draft with WCOFF and can't recall specifics at all why I had to to ask out of the league but I was told someone was in line to take my spot so they were good with it. But it took me months and literally a threatening letter from my attorney before I ever got my $5K refunded. So when I got the email telling me about FFPC, billing itself as For Players and the such it was an easy transtion for me and I've been entering their contest since the beginning. Also though the format was cool, TE's getting the bonus, getting to start 4 RB's, etc.
I'd add I have always credited Dave from the FFPC for being the main person that got me into dynasty and I think he's the guy who should credit for bringing dynasty to FFPC. But the year before the FFPC started doing dynasty he posted on what used to a very lively message board in the FFPC he had an opening in a dynasty league. That was my first experience with it and I was hooked.
The current prizes listed looks the same as the last 2 years to me.Did the rake get even worse? 25% rake for the $250 dynasty leagues?
Been that way for years. Hasn't changed since I've been playing (2014 on FFPC)Did the rake get even worse? 25% rake for the $250 dynasty leagues?
you can buy one (or more) of my crappy cheap teams and do it privately without fees. just an idea.And Depot takes 20% of every sale?? I can see 10% from the seller, but they also charge 10% to the buyer???? WTF????
And they don't even toggle the percentages between the lower sale and higher sales. Who the hell is gonna buy or sell a $2500 team and pay 250 off the top to buy AND sell it??
Doesn't seem like a sustainable business model. Call me crazy.
That said, I'm about to buy a super cheap team on Depot and begin a mega rebuild. I'm stupid.
At least buying cheap the fees are cheap. I bought a $250 team for 30 bucks. So, fees 3 bucks.you can buy one (or more) of my crappy cheap teams and do it privately without fees. just an idea.And Depot takes 20% of every sale??

I’ve been wondering about people’s thoughts on him. I believe I posted something in his thread asking as much. I also think he’s a good buy low.I think he is a great buy low right nowEngram, Henry, Irv Smith, Hurst
In FFPC with only 14 skill position keepers, I don’t see how he makes the cut thats coming on March 31st. Your roster would have to be absolutely horrible for him to make that cut. I see him more as a “draft in the late rounds of the rookie draft as a what-the-heck flyer“ and then see if anything magical happens to him between the rookie draft in May and the next cut down right before the season starts.I’ve been wondering about people’s thoughts on him.

Same with me. I hope they offset them a little bit like they said they would.All my dynasty leagues say the rookie draft starts May 30 at 8 pm ET. I'm guessing that's probably just a placeholder and they'll change it, but I actually wouldn't mind if that's the actual date. Previous years has always been Mother's Day weekend, which was annoying.

In FFPC we cut down on March 31st. Standard leagues cut down is to 16 but you always have to have a valid starting lineup so those 16 include K, D and nothing like an option to not carry a QB. So 14 position players max.Someone might beat you to him, but my guess is that you don’t care.I'm just saying in FFPC I don't consider him rosterable.
