I would like to thank MaxPower to drafting every Eagle he could, btw.

Are we aiming to start our FFL draft before the season starts this year... ? :)

Also, since we're only allowed 1 keeper, I'm open to trading my non-keepers for round selections.

Example: I have a non-keeper that you want as a keeper. I trade you my non-keeper player before the keepers are locked. You assign this player as your keeper. You give me a high round selection in trade for my player and a lower round selection.

Sample: You want Brady (QB), so I trade him to your team now. You then assign him as "keeper" to keep him for next season. When next season draft starts, you let me pick your 2nd round player and I let you pick my 6th round player. Then we swamp our 2nd and 6th round players before season starts (after draft, before first game).


Is that legal commiss?

was there a trading period?

In my keeper league you are able to keep a player 2 times. Off season trades are limited to swapping keepers. This is usually done when both teams can't keep there keeper anymore.

Not sure. Var needs to reactive our FFL league for 2013. I sent him an email via ESPN.

I thought you could trade players up until a specific date/cut off. At that point keepers are locked, and drafting starts. There's already a bunch of draft rooms going on ESPN.

Any expected date for us to start draft? Do we need a 2013 roll call and new player sign up post?

Interesting keep/draft idea. Not sure if its legal in the ESPN system but kinda a neat idea.

I'm not activating the league for a bit, its still only June :P We can do it soon.

Ok. thanks.

Did you already know how many new players will be joining? We had 6 teams last year, maybe aim for 8 or 10 teams this season?

Since I'm keeping Foster, I still have Muscle Hamster available for trade, if anyone wants to use him as keeper. He's a top 5 pick for this coming season and I hate having to lose him.
