BFA - WILD THINGS TRADE GIBSON

-

 



The Perthshire Wild Things, probably the most active team in the off-season trading, were back in the arena this afternoon.

As they prepare for 2021 they sent Antonio Gibson to the Birmingham Reapers for a 4th round 2021 draft pick. The Wild Things had previously traded their 4th round pick to the Weston Renegades, but now move up in that round to pick at 4.03.

The Birmingham Reapers GM, Phil, immediately met with the press to confirm Gibson is their 2021 keeper at running back.

"We would like to welcome Antonio Gibson to the Reapers as our latest horseman. Bringing youth and vitality to a tired RB room, he instantly cements his place as our keeper for the year. We feel he was a bargain for a 4th round pick in a revitalised Washington Football Team. Sadly, Darrynton Evans is released to create space. A solid prospect who never quite broke through. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours and have every confidence he will succeed. He will always be welcome in Birmingham."

As confirmed by the Reapers GM, Evans now goes into the BFA 2021 Draft pool.

The Reapers will now play in the BFA West for 2021 after their move from Gateshead in 2020.

Over at the Perthshire Wild Things their GM, Mark, spoke to waiting reporters about why Gibson was traded.

"After the acquisition of Aaron Jones, Antonio Gibson became surplus to requirements. Gibson is thanked for his efforts in the 2020 season and we wish him nothing but the best."

Perthshire have certainly been busy in the trading arena whereas this was the first Reapers trade action during this off-season as they begin to re-shape their roster.

THE BFFL CUP

-
Image
  A new competition, separate from the league structures for 2021. The brain-child of Dan (Charlton Valiants) and Chris (Jurassic Coast Jackrabbits). A WORD FROM THE ORGANISERS The BFFL Cup. 80 Teams. 0 Tiers. Giant Killing. It's A Knockout. The BFFL Cup was borne out of the idea of further building the community spirit of the BFFL; hopefully bringing about new rivalries, brother/sister-hoods and shared tactics. It's roots lie more in 'soccer' than NFL and the cup clearly takes its cues from the FA Cup in the UK. No longer will GM's have to wait two, three or four years of promotion in order to face their local rivals. Now, the luck of the draw is all that stands in the way. For the GM's it is a chance to win twice in a week, console themselves with a cup win after a league loss or, perish the thought, take a double-L and promptly oversee a complete franchise overhaul. The format is simply head-to-head and GM's won't be required to do anything in order t...

QUICK 10 WITH.....JURASSIC COAST JACKRABBITS

-
Image
The Jurassic Coast is a world heritage site, stretching from Exmouth to Studland Bay. The highest point is the Golden Cap between Bridport and Charmouth and charts an extraordinary look into the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The Jackrabbits started life out as the Jurassic Coast Corsairs in the BFU. The GM, Chris, had to step down for a while but his love for the BFFL community brought him back. A spot became available in the BFA and it was from here the Jurassic Coast Jackrabbits and their now infamous hastag - #defendthisrun - was born. It was a rebuilding process last season for the Jackrabbits, formerly based in Weston, as they just missed out on a playoff spot in the BFA West. For 2021, it is a new name and a new division as they move to the BFA South division. This is Chris - aka "CDK" to his friends in the league, and these are his Quick 10 Questions. 1. How did you first get involved in the league? I know Harry (Bromsgrove Boars) from a few fantasy footba...

A BIG SEASON

-

  The 2021 season in the Brit Towers universe is going to be huge for many reasons across our six levels, mostly in part to the promotion and relegation system kicking in. This format did not exist for our inaugural 2020 season as the teams settled in to the top three levels, leaving 32 teams to compete in regional divisions within the BFU to decide who would form the fourth level BFU for 2021 and who would form the fifth level BFO. Add to this the addition of British Bulldog, our bestball format level, which will join the promotion and relegation system in 2022 and it is easy to see why this is such a big season. For an in-depth look at the season ahead here is what will be happening in the Brit Towers universe for 2021: THE BFFL CUP A new "F.A. Cup" style addition to the league formats, where all 96 teams will be able to go up against each other in this knockout competition. Barriers of which level a team plays in will be broken down and every team has a chance to lift the ...
