Taylor Keeps Go Bills in Lead

Baranyi, Stutzman & Costantino Lead Liantonio by 29.1

It was going to be tough for Giuseppe Liantonio's Amish Rake Fight to overtake the Go Bills squad run by Dom Baranyi, Sean Stutzman and Nick Costantino in the 2021 FFPC Main Event this past week, and it became nearly impossible for him after Jonathan Taylor's 53.4 performance. Their team was also got 20 points from Tyreek Hill as they have opened up a nearly30-point lead with one week to go in the regular season.

Matt Cozzo and his Step Brozzo's team once again ascended one spot, this time to third with 2020 Main Event champs Phil and Jerry Hooton's Bullseye squad moving up two spots to fourth. Nobody Puts Brady in the Corner--run by Steve Rizas--rounds out this week's top five leaders.

Huggers Extend FPC Lead Over Antley

Todd Hunter's Tree Huggers had a Week 11 to remember as he widened his lead to 128.3 points over Jeff Antley's Khaliff's Krew in the 2021 Footballguys Players Championship. Hunter saw his team tally a 230.3, one week after notching a 201.8 Week 10 score, thanks in part to Taylor, the New England Patriots defense (30), Cam Newton (28.05), D'Andre Swift (22.6) and Mike Williams (20.7).

Bipcoin--managed by Biplab Mandal--has vaulted up three spots into third place with Jay Flake's Ageless entry slipping one spot to fourth. Sean McCorkle's Major League Infidel completes this week's top five teams as well.

Hubbard, Muzio & Haley Atop High Society

David Hubbard and Billy Muzio are doing quite well so far in the 2021 FFPC High Society #1 league with 36 total victory points heading into Week 12. His Muzi-oHHH squad featured big performances last weekend from Taylor, Taylor Heinicke (25.2) and Mike Evans (20.3) that led to their 166.7 score.

Over in the 2021 FFPC High Society #2, Patrick Haley's RJAS team has 33 victory points, continuing to lead the other 11 teams after 11 weeks. Haley's 155.55 tally was thanks in part to Kirk Cousins'(28.65) and Hill.

Both of these drafts were held live at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas at the FFPC Live Events in September. Each champion in these two 12-team leagues will pocket $50,000 at the end of the year.

So goodbye to Tyreek Hill For Week 12 as well as the rest of Kansas City and Arizona this weekend, players, as both squads are on a bye. Remember, you'll have the waiver wire run tonight and Sunday morning to fix those lineup holes. Good luck in your bids!

Regular Season Ends Monday

One of the most important weeks of the season is upon us, as the FFPC Main Event and the FPC hold our final regular season games. After Seattle and Washington complete their tilt on Monday Night Football this week, we're onto the league playoffs. Remember, the playoff seeds are determined by the following criteria:

  1. The team with the best record
  2. The remaining team with the highest point total
  3. The remaining team with the best record
  4. The remaining team with the highest point total

As you can see, points are huge this week. Teams with losing records could make the playoffs if they score enough points, so make sure you are finishing out your season strong. If you look at both contests, there are still a lot of teams in contention for a playoff spot heading into Week 11. And even if your squad doesn't move on to the playoffs, you will start accruing points for the Toilet Bowl competition beginning in Week 13.

As a reminder, you can see the Playoff bracket by clicking on the PLAYOFF tab on the league home page, next to the STANDINGS tab.
