All Play Week Has Arrived in Week 6

No Individual H2H This Week

Each Team Will Play Every Other Team in Week 6

Week 6 is now upon us, players, and that means something new for 2021 for all Main Event, Footballguys Players Championship and Super Bracket leagues. The FFPC now has 12 regular season weeks. Each team will still play every team in the league one time during the regular season. Week 6 is an all play week. This means that Week 6 will not have individual head-to-head matchups; rather it will be a full league total points battle. The top six scorers will get a win, and the bottom six scorers will get a loss. Any team(s) which are tied for sixth most points scored in Week 6, will each be awarded a win. Again, the Week 6 all play only affects Main Event, FPC and Super Bracket teams.

As an important notice, players, free agents from the Sunday morning game in London between the Dolphins and Jaguars will ONLY be available in Wednesday's 10 pm ET waiver run (tonight). Miami and Jacksonville players will NOT be available for pickup in the 10 am Sunday morning FAAB run. As usual, any rostered player not in your FFPC starting lineup can be dropped during any available FAAB process.

All FFPC Main Event, Footballguys Players Championship, Classic, Victory Point, Dynasty and other managed leagues have waivers tonight, Wednesday, October 13th at 10 pm ET. A second weekly waiver period processes on Sunday morning at 10 am ET.

  • IMPORTANT: You can only get one player per bid group. Once you get a player in that group, all other bids are voided. If you want to get multiple players, you will need multiple bid groups and multiple players to drop.
  • If you have multiple teams, please handle bidding with a single team in a single browser for now.
  • Every team has $1,000 bidding dollars to spend. This needs to last for the entire season.
  • There are no $0 bids, so please bid $1 or more.

To place bids:

  • From the league home page, click on TEAM. You will see the Bid Groups section on your Set Lineup page.
  • You can click on the 'Create Bid Group' button on the Set Lineup page to create a new group. From there you simply need to 1) add the player(s) to the group, 2) specify the bid amount for each player, 3) select the players to drop and 4) click Save.
  • Bid groups can be copied and then edited as a new group.
  • Bid amounts can be edited quickly and easily.
  • Players are default sorted by previous season stats and can be sorted by position.
  • Don't forget to include a player to drop in every bidding group.

Find a Free Agent Feature on MyTeams Page:

If you are looking for a certain free agent, you can use the player search feature on the MyTeams page and it will tell you if he is rostered or not and who owns him. This is helpful for owners that have multiple teams and are looking for a priority free agent.

Hunter Stakes Claim For First in FPC

Todd Hunter's Huggers squad was looking good coming into Monday Night Football. But it was looking fantastic after the game, as it came from out of nowhere to take control of first place in the 2021 Footballguys Players Championship. Led by Lamar Jackson's 47.3, Mark Andrews' 47.2, Mike Williams' 36.5, Jonathan Taylor's 31.9, Alexander Mattison's 27.3 and Ezekiel Elliott's 25.2, the Huggers notched 261.7 in Week 5, taking a 2.35-point lead over Mazycakes, run by Jeff Blair, that moved up seven spots to second place.

Carl van der Horst's Snuggles' Accountant came from outside the top 40 teams to assume third place with last week's third-place squad Khaliff's Krew--managed by Jeff Antley--slipping one spot to fourth. John Terry also managed his entry into the fifth slot after five weeks of fantasy football action.

Mueller & Meyer Roll Into Main Event Lead

If Hunter's score in the FPC didn't wow you, maybe Danny Mueller and Ron Meyer's Average Joe's tally will. The duo moved past Week 4 leader Giuseppe Liantonio's Amish Rake Fight squad into the top spot in the 2021 FFPC Main Event, with an almost-unheard-of 276.65 in Week 5. Andrews, Tom Brady (41.85), Antonio Brown (31.4), Derrick Henry (31), Mike Evans (29.3), Ja'Marr Chase (27.9) and Mattison did all the heavy lifting as Average Joe now holds a 50-point lead over Liantonio.

Step Brozzo's--owned by Matthew Cozzo vaulted up from 19th to third place with Derek Duckels' Ducks Dynasty shooting up seven spots to fourth. Last week's third place team--We Dem Boyz x 3, run by Praveer Shrivastava--fell two spots to round out the top five teams heading into Week 6.

Zucca Leads Bare Knuckle Challenge

Michael Zucca's Mongooses entry ran up a 190.55 score this past weekend in the 2021 FFPC Bare Knuckle Challenge, and now holds a 15.95-point lead over the second-place High Steaks Bear Knuckles team run by Biplab Mandal and Vince Staffilino. The Mongooses saw Davante Adams (37.6), Austin Ekeler (33.9), Elliott and Matthew Stafford (21.15) lead the way with big games.

This draft took place live after the opening game in Las Vegas on Thursday night at Planet Hollywood. Players were not allowed to use any device, cheat sheets or any other draft aid as all 336 picks needed to be selected strictly from memory. The champ will take home a $4,500 prize in this 12-team league.
