The NFL Fantasy Gridiron 2012 Challenge

[Shilo 371]

OK, for those interested.... I've set up the ESPN NFL Gridiron Challenge for the 2012 season. It's totally free and I think this is the seventh year that we have been doing this across the different Pattaya boards. All are welcome including my English friends who are looking to get back at some of us Yanks that beat them from time to time in their beloved EPL games.

 

Here is a paste and copy of an email that would be sent out from ESPN if I was inviting friends one at a time. The link should work but let me know if there is a problem.

 

This message is from Shilo's Prowler who is challenging you to play Gridiron Challenge on ESPN.com.

 

This game challenges you to build a roster of pro football players consisting of 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 Kicker, and 1 Team Defense, while staying under your team's $50m salary cap. Best of all, it's FREE to play.

A couple of quick side notes for returning players and the new guys.

 

The game may seem easy at first. The opening prices for players pretty much allows you to start with whoever you want. Seriously, I was able to pick the number one and two player at every position (except the Kicker) and still stay within the original budget cap. So the good news is that you can start the year with pretty much whoever you want on your team. But going forward the players values will go up and down based on performance. This makes it REALLY hard once little injuries kick in or we start dealing with the BYE weeks. Buy a player at say 6 mill and he does well for several weeks, his price will move up to say 6.7 mill and then comes the BYE week.... do you hold him and take 0 points for that week or do you trade him for a lesser player to get points that week but know that you can't afford to get the original player back...

 

Good luck to all,

LAST CALL before the season starts next Wednesday. After that you can still join and play if interested to see what's it's all about but you'll have little chance of winning.
