It will probably go live sometime in early- to mid- August.
It will be much the same as last year, but with a bit more roster flexibility and a few scoring system tweaks.

Outstanding. Looking forward to seeing the new tweaks!

I talked to Clayton on this today. Look for an email early this week that asks all of you when you can draft and the date will get settled based on these responses.

Cool - a nice taste of what FBG's is about - hopefully I'm lucky.

Being a Footballguys paid subscriber is an amazing value. Among the many reasons to join include expert fantasy football content and analysis not found anywhere else, timely alerts, and of course, the fabulously awesome subscriber's contest. Why go anywhere else? The people that hang with the Footballguys know more than the pros do! If you have yet to do it, I suggest you join.

So we are back to picking the roster at the beginning of the season and rolling the dice? I didn't like picking a new team every week last year....

Are the payouts the same as last year? Seems like less payouts, but I have crs so who knows.

Picking a new team every week was 2 years ago. Last year was this format, except for the new roster flexibility.

Agree with Skino 100%. The reason I "only" took out a three year Footballguys.com subscription the year they offered it was that they did not offer a five year deal.I think you would find that most of the subscriber's here are extremely satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to plug the site like this.

dal-boys-pahn: I couldn't have said it better myself. Regarding the contest for 2007: it will be the $250 salary cap style with roster limits. There will be scoring changes to include PPR for TE=1.5, RB=.5, and WR=1------------Contest RulesThere will be no draft. A subscriber simply chooses a team from the pre-determined values. Roster selection can be changed until the deadline passes (1:01 AM (ET) Tuesday, September 4th) at which point it will be frozen. No roster moves are permitted once the contest starts.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.Each team will select 22 roster spots consisting of quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, kickers and defenses. Each team must select at least 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 PK and 1 Def.Each selection has a different cap value, but all teams must remain at or under the $250 cap. Note: Even though the software should show you if you are within the cap, it is your responsibility to ensure you have a team that is valued at $250 or less. Teams that have spent more than the $250 will be disqualified in week 1.You must fill all 22 roster spots to be a valid entry.You may not select the same player more than once. For example: Submitting a lineup with two Frank Gores will be disqualified.Each week your top QB, top 2 RBs, top 3 WRs, top TE, top flex (either RB, WR or TE), top PK and top Defense will count towards your weekly total. You do not have to select who will play. You will receive the maximum score based on your roster.Contest will be Survivor style through week 13. By survivor style, we mean that only the high scores for JUST THAT WEEK advance to the next round. Scores reset each week.From week 14 through week 16, the top 250 teams will score points each week. The winner will be the team that accumulates the most total points in these 3 weeks. All 250 teams that advance to the final will have their scores reset so only the results from weeks 14 through 16 will count.Each submision is tied in with your login so you can edit and tweak all the way until 1:01 AM ET September 4th. Your last submit will be your final roster.The weekly cutoffs are as follows:Week 1 trim to 12,000 teams (all advance if we have less entries)Week 2 trim to 10,000 teamsWeek 3 trim to 8,500 teamsWeek 4 trim to 7,250 teamsWeek 5 trim to 6,100 teamsWeek 6 trim to 5,000 teamsWeek 7 trim to 4,000 teamsWeek 8 trim to 3,100 teamsWeek 9 trim to 2,300 teamsWeek 10 trim to 1,600 teamsWeek 11 trim to 1,000 teamsWeek 12 trim to 500 teamsWeek 13 trim to 250 teamsScoring:Scoring will be calculated to two decimal places (no rounding).Player Scoring (QB, RB, WR, TE)Passing TDs = 6 pointsInterceptions Thrown = -1 pointsRushing TD = 6 pointsReceiving TD = 6 pointsPassing Yardage = .05 points per yardRushing Yardage = .10 points per yardReceiving Yardage = .10 points per yardReceptions for RB = 0.5 pointsReceptions for WR = 1.0 pointsReceptions for TE = 1.5 pointsNo points scored for 2 point conversionsKicker Scoring (PK)Field Goal Made (0-29 yards) = 3 pointsField Goal Made (30-39 yards) = 4 pointsField Goal Made (40-49 yards) = 5 pointsField Goal Made (50+ yards) = 6 pointsExtra Point Made = 1 pointDefense Scoring (Def)Sack = 1 pointInterception = 2 pointsFumble Recovery = 2 pointsSafety = 2 pointsDefensive/ST TD = 6 points (Kickoff return, punt return, blocked FG return, blocked punt return, interception return, fumble recovery return)All scoring is determined final when posted regardless if the NFL later changes the data. Weekly results will be published on Tuesday morning following the completion of all games.Ties in all rounds prior to the 250 cutoff will advance. For final standings, tiebreakers will be used for exact three week totals.1st tiebreaker - Total points of all players rostered in weeks 14-162nd tiebreaker - Total points of all WRs rostered in weeks 14-163rd tiebreaker - Total points of all RBs rostered in weeks 14-164th tiebreaker - Total points of all QBs rostered in weeks 14-165th tiebreaker - Total points of all TEs rostered in weeks 14-166th tiebreaker - Total points of all PKs rostered in weeks 14-167th tiebreaker - Total points of all Defs rostered in weeks 14-168th tiebreaker - CoinflipPrizes:The $35,000 will be paid out as follows: 1st Place: $20,000 + lifetime subscription to Footballguys.com2nd Place: $4,600 + 3-year subscription to Footballguys.com3rd Place: $2,500 + 3-year subscription to Footballguys.com4th Place: $1,500 + 3-year subscription to Footballguys.com5th Place: $1,000 + 2008 subscription to Footballguys.com6th place: $500 + 2008 subscription to Footballguys.com7th place: $300 + 2008 subscription to Footballguys.com8th place: $200 + 2008 subscription to Footballguys.com9th place: $125 + 2008 subscription to Footballguys.com10th place: $75 + 2008 subscription to Footballguys.com11th - 15th place: $5016th - 30th place: $4031st - 100th place: $30101st place - 150th place: $25Agree with Skino 100%.

I'm sorry this is a stupid question but can you pick the same players every week or once you pick them for a certain week they can not be used again?

Go up 6 posts above yours, and read post #18. All your answers are explained there in the Contest Rules.

Are you kidding? I LOVE my team already. Even though I've changed it 5 times already, and will change it 20 more times before the contest goes live.
