Anyone interested in this concept?

We'd want an even # between 10-20 teams.

Payout 1st-3rd place in regular season. (maybe 4th & 5th if we have up to 20 teams)

And also have a simultaneous cup tournament with a payout. I did this with a league last season, and it worked pretty well. We form our own brackets mid-season, based on current season standings, and then use the weekly score of the regular season to also count in the cup match.

Any takers?

Any preference of how many "points" we'd all put in? 20, 50, 100? If it's a long haul league like this (34 weeks + a cup), I'd prefer 100 or more, but don't want to make year 1 of this too expensive.

PS, maybe we make it 32 weeks to avoid the last couple of weeks where teams may be sitting players leading up to playoffs. Have to see the full schedule and how INTL dates line up before we decide.
 
Sure. Probably go for a lower point to get good numbers.

I'd do whatever the majority wanted. If it's 20, that's cool. Most important part is having fun with it and getting it started. Ran a pretty good H2H league last year, no "points", but some amazing trophies. Should be good times if we get at least 10 people.

Oh and if we get more then 20 people I can do pro-rel and seed us year 1 based on how we finished in dan's league last season.
 
Ok, we're up to 5 with 1 maybe. Getting close to the magic # of 10 that really makes a decent H2H league. Anyone else?
 
I'm in. I haven't done fantasy soccer before at all, but I'm definitely down to get into it.

I did it for the 1st time last season. I'll run through some basics, before we get started.
 
Code to join the H2H league is:

552-468

Let's see how many join and we'll figure out the "points" after the fact.

PS, no playoffs, but a Cup Tournament mid-season that I'll set up and update on here.
 
I'm down for this but what do you mean by "points"?

Well I don't think the admins want us gambling on this site. But I live in the USA, so when I discuss things, I usually reference American currency. You can make any associations you want with that. If you're in, I'll PM you the rest of the info. Just use the code to sign up.

Alright, in that case I turn 18 in June so I can't then :p

According to the Feds, season-long fantasy sports is not gambling. We're in the clear!

So, we're at 8 members now (the real hard core). I think I'm going to lock the league up at 10. Then if more want to play I'll make another league and institute promotion and relegation. Make this a dynasty league, at least for league purposes (MLS won't let you draft or keep players).
