10:42 PM ET on 6/23/15 by Jay Soester |
Fantasy Football is available for the 2015-2016 season. There will be 12 free leagues and limited spots remain after renewals. I'll add a few more leagues if demand merits it.

You can use the links above to join another league and/or switch leagues. Feel free to join more than one league.
To those participating, please vote on the proposed rule changes: weekly waivers and flex spots.
League 11 and League 12 will have the alternate rules regardless of the decision. League 11 will also be a PPR league, while I've let the assistant commissioner decide on whether or not LG12 will also be PPR. If I create a 13th league, it will follow the same rules as League 11.
Money Leagues
I've also set up three Money Leagues- two $25 leagues and one $50 league.
$25 Money League 1 - Draft at 5 PM ET on Saturday, August 29th.
$25 Money League 2 - Draft at 6:30 PM ET on Sunday, September 6th.
$50 Money League 3 - Draft at 7:30 PM ET on Sunday, August 30th.
All leagues are currently standard Money Leagues rules, but are up for vote between those participating. The draft times and dates can be sorted out collectively as well. You're welcome to join one, two or all three leagues if interested. I can accept payments via PayPal or check if sent early enough.
Other Games Available:
MLB Day-to-Day Pickem
CFL Pickem
NASL Pickem
Fantasy Formula 1
Fantasy Golf (ID: 3312/Password: 123456)
Fantasy NASCAR (ID: 12436/Password: 123456)
I hope to begin work on NFL Pickem, NFL Locks and College Football Pickem this week.

| Proposed Fantasy Football Rule Changes |
11:48 PM ET on 6/22/15 by Jay Soester |
After some experimenting in one league last season, I'm offering up a permanent change to the ASFL2 default Fantasy Football settings going forward.
Would you like to see weekly waivers introduced to our leagues?
- No - Keep Free Agency unless the player has just been released.
- Yes - Have a full Waiver Period from an individual player's Game Time to Tuesday
& Would you like to see a flex spot replace one of the three current WR spots?
- No - Keep the Lineup as it currently is.
- Yes - Drop a WR Spot for a W/R Flex
- Yes - Drop a WR Spot for a W/R/T Flex
You must use the league message board to vote in polls. If you're having trouble logging in, please email me.
There is a longer description for each proposal within the poll itself.
These polls will be out for roughly 60 days, but the available Fantasy Football leagues should be announced on Tuesday.

| CFL Pickem Available |
11:44 PM ET on 6/21/15 by Jay Soester |
CFL Pickem is now available. Play for free.
Why?
Those of you that have been around the website long enough may remember CFL Pickem as a yearly occurance, even being promoted to one of the website's feature games for the 2012 season. With the success of NASL Pickem as a Reddit originated game, I decided to bring CFL Pickem back with that in mind and at the request of current members.
How? - The Features
Here are the game rules. Predict the score of each of the 81 regular season and 5 postseason games and earn points based on your picks versus the real scores. You earn 30 points for a correct result, up to 15 for the correct winning margin, up to six points for each correct team score, and six extra points if you pick the exact score correctly. The person with the most points from each of their picks is the winner. CFL Pickem and NFL Pickem use the same scoring system.
We keep track of weekly, monthly, and full season results.
We also ask that each participant select the team they're a fan of, so that we can keep track of the best performing fan group in the CFL. We also provide the standings within each fan group.
Beyond the game standings, we offer league and game stats. There's a Game Averages & Percentages page that can help you make picks. We also break down the member standings by team picks, the team standings by points earned for each member, and the CFL standings based on the picks by each member.
We also have the full season results grid as well as the plain game score grid that doesn't take teams into account. We also have a breakdown of each team's average points scored and points against by location.
You can also use the game to team schedules.
If the CFL subreddit isn't enough discussion you can discuss the game and league on our message board thread.
If you have any feature ideas you'd like to see, please mention them in the game thread and/or email me.
I'm currently looking for volunteers to help with score updates and a weekly preview and/or review writer. I'm open to reproducing content from another website or otherwise partnering with another website. I'm aware the ads on this website are subpar and have generally removed them from CFL Pickem. I'm hoping to find a sponsor of the game, email me if interested. If a sponsor can be found, I may be able to offer up a prize to the winner(s).

| Money Leagues NCAA Tournament Winnings |
12:09 AM ET on 4/15/15 by Jay Soester |
Congrats to Chris Prentice for taking the top spot in our ASFL2 Money Leagues $5 NCAA Tournament Pickem Pool.
Prentice's winning total of 107 was the best total since the scoring changed in 2012 and earned him $207. He edged out last year's champ, Thomas Courtney, and Joseph Alperto at 103 points. Courtney won the tiebreaker for the second spot and $55 while Alperto settled for $27.50. This is Courtney's second season in a row finishing in second place. John Tabaska (101 points), Todd Pfander (99), Brandon Moore (99), and Robert Goldenberg (98) finished fourth through seventh to earn their entry fee back for finishing in the top 10% of the 73 paid entries, but outside of the top three. Had Wisconsin won the championship game, Courtney would have topped the pool with Tabaska in second and Pfander in third.
First Place: Chris Prentice ($207)
Second Place: Thomas Courtney ($55)
Third Place: Joseph Alperto ($27.50)
4th Place: John Tabaska ($5)
5th Place: Todd Pfander ($5)
6th Place: Brandon Moore ($5)
7th Place: Robert Goldenberg ($5)
Thank you to everyone that participated.

| NASL Pickem Available |
11:22 PM ET on 3/29/15 by Jay Soester |
NASL Pickem is now available. Play for free.
What?
I'm sure the majority of you that frequent this website immediately thought, "What the hell is the NASL?". The North American Soccer League is the second division of soccer in North America and a reincarnation of the famous league from the 70s and early 80s of the same name. I'm a season ticket holder for one of the eleven teams and follow it closely. All of the leagues' games will be broadcast online via ESPN3 this season.
Why?
There is no pickem or fantasy game for the league anywhere on the internet. I frequent the subreddit for the league and put out a feeler for a potential game that received enough positive feedback to motivate me to re-purpose the code from Premier League Pickem to create NASL Pickem with an extra feature or two.

| Fantasy MLS Available |
11:25 PM ET on 2/25/15 by Jay Soester |
The inaugural edition of ASFL2 Fantasy MLS is now available.
The game is run through Yahoo! in the same format as Fantasy Premier League.
The league ID is 157 and the password is 58xbf4z.
The season starts next Friday, March 6th, at 10 PM ET with the Chicago Fire visiting the LA Galaxy. Things kickoff nationally with a triple header on Sunday, March 8th. Two new clubs debut at 5 PM ET on ESPN2 with New York City FC visiting Orlando City with David Villa and Kaka starring. The New York Red Bulls also travel to Sporting KC at 7 PM ET on Fox Sports 1 before the night ends at 9:30 PM ET on FS1 with the New England Revolution visiting the Seattle Sounders in front of their 45,000+.
If you're unfamiliar with Major League Soccer, wikipedia highlights the changes from last season while the league website itself has great daily coverage as well as a nice history section for the league.
