It's back! Let us know the code when you set it up. Can we do a Head to Head league too?

As soon as the MLS fantasy site is live I will.
Haven't done head to head before but we can do a smaller one sure.

 

[Gene]

I'm in!

 

[NYCFCarl]

Definitely in & representing Sixth Borough Blues! Give us a shout when it's up and running and we'll spread the word!

 

[FredMertz]

I hope they make some changes -- most specifically, fewer bench spots.

 

[dannd23]

I am in!!

 

[Keith Putnam]

I've been obsessed with Fantasy Premier League this season, so I don't see why I shouldn't roll right on into Fantasy MLS.

 

[Viewfrom226]

Would love to join.

 

[JCMore]

I'm game! Will probably lose terribly but I'm so game!

 

[Ohenry]

Some guys like Brad Knighton, Andrew Farrell, and others I can't remember have played in leagues sponsored by their club's fans. It would make it interesting if a couple NYCFC players joined.

 

[DRhone22]

Let us know the code when its up!

 

[SpicyRoll]

Extremely excited about this. Definitely in!

 

[Dreaming_NYC]

I suck at this but I love to do it anyways

 

[horseytweets]

Let's do this!

 

[Jock]

I know next to nothing about MLS, but can sure build a team based around Poku and a bunch of guys with funny names, so count me in!

I'm getting this started now so that we don't have too many off shoot leagues when things open up on the MLS site.

I'll say thank you to him right after I tell him to score a hat trick.

Is MLS fantasy like a draft or auction where you have a set roster that you can change, add/drop based on free agency? Or do you pick a new team every week?

Don't hold my feet to the fire, but if I'm recalling correctly it goes something like this:

--No draft. You pick 16 players (?) and have a salary cap of $129 (?) million.
--You must have 2 GK's on your roster and believe the rest of the team rounds out to 5 DB's, 5 MF's and 4 F's.
--Two free transfers each week. Every weekly transfer past the 2 freebies will be a -4 point deduction to your total. Twice a year there will be a round with unlimited transfers.
--Each week you put what you feel is your best 11 on the field with some restrictions. EG you must have 1 GK on the field, 3 DB's etc.......

There's a little more here and there, but that's pretty much the basics.

Last year you had a budget, select your team, and then can change up to 2 players each week. The big limit is that the players you bring on can't cost more than those you sell plus an amount you have banked. Plus you get one wildcard week with unlimited changes, and they sometimes give everyone a wildcard in weeks where only 8 teams or so are playing. There is no limit to how many people can have a player on the team, so if we all want Poku, we can have him. Last year he wasn't so great because of his spotty playing time. The league sets a player cost/value at the start of the season, and then values float depending on how a player performed that week.
