KEEPERS CONFIRMED - WESSEX MONARCHS

Image
  I was sitting in my Commish office this morning when I heard the thunder of horses hooves and the rattling on the cobbles. I opened my door to see a regal, golden chariot being pulled by four white horses. The carriage door opened, a red carpet was rolled to my step and out stepped Dan, the GM of the Wessex Monarchs. He strode to my door, monarch gown flowing and handed me a rolled up parchment sealed with candle wax. Ladies and Gentlemen of the BFFL realm, please be upstanding for the announcement of the 2021 Keepers for the Wessex Monarchs. The King Is Dead, Long Live The King! The following players have been banished from the kingdom of the Wessex Monarchs, under royal command, and will be placed back into the BFC 2021 Draft Pool: Nick Mullens Leonard Fournette Boston Scott JaMycal Hasty Curtis Samuel Antonio Brown Brandin Cooks Corey Davis Jack Doyle Mo Alie-Cox Graham Gano Cameron Jordan Frank Clark Trey Flowers Eric Rowe Marcus Peters Trevon Diggs Jalen Mills Josh Allen (De...

Why (Not) IDP?

Image
  In this special feature, Mason, the GM of Gibraltar Macaques takes us on a personal journey from the beginning of his fantasy football adventure to discovering IDP and ultimately the British Fantasy Football League. This is the story from one of our American GM's. The scene was anything but apathetic as I nustled into my girlfriend’s half-broken barstool chair with a collage of scotch tape, whiteboards, markers, and recycled printer paper plastered across the walls of my kitchen as if I had started unraveling a sketchy conspiracy.  I was one of (if not the actual) first American General Manager of a British Fantasy Football League team (Gibraltar Macaques); I had to start it off with come canned heat, and oh boy, did I ever begin my career as GM with a bang. My name is Mason Riney, 31 years of age. I was an average American dude playing in some fantasy football leagues with my best mates. As we would drink, I would spew ludicrous viewpoints on football without any fundamenta...

7 DRAFT DAYS - DAY 7 - BRIT TOWERS 2021 MOCK DRAFT

Image
  2021 MOCK DRAFT A selection of GM's from across the BFFL universe congregated a few weeks ago and began a 7 round 2021 Mock Draft. In this last post for Day 7 of our Draft Day countdown, we present the first round and the comments made on each pick by those GM's. This draft took place prior to any recent trades. It is fair to say The Commish went completely rogue with his pick. This was a lot of fun. Listed will be: - Pick Number - NFL Team Drafting For - GM Name, BFFL Team and League - Player Selected, Position and College - Reason For Selection Welcome to the 2021 BFFL Mock Draft. The Jacksonville Jaguars are on the clock. PICK #1 - JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS Pat - GM of Stevenage Sabres - BFA South Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson "Generational!" PICK #2 - NEW YORK JETS Tom - GM of Causeway Giants - BFA West Zach Wilson, QB, BYU "I have no idea what the Jets will do here. Wilson seems to be the consensus pick. They could trade down and address one of the many other ne...

7 DRAFT DAYS - DAY 6 - THE LATE ROUND MVPS

Image
  Since the very first Super Bowl, there have been players awarded the Super Bowl MVP who were drafted (or not in one case) from the third round and beyond. For Day 6 of our Draft Day countdown we will quickly look at those players who fall into that category. These are "The Late Round MVPs" Bart Starr Super Bowl I and II MVP 1956 NFL Draft - Round 17 - Pick 200 He was a five-time NFL Champion, two-time Super Bowl winner and was selected to the Pro Bowl on four occasions, yet Bart Starr was the 200th pick in the 1956 NFL Draft. Starr went into his sophomore year at Alabama as their quarterback, safety and punter. He was drafted by the Packers in the 1956 draft and offered a contract worth $6,500. He spent his first season as back-up to Tobin Rote, but after Vince Lombardi put him in to replace Lamar McHan in 1959, Starr held the number one spot from that point forward. He went on to coach the Packers and was inducted into the Hall Of Fame in 1977. Roger Staubach Super Bowl VI...
