Preseason Waiver Wire Runs Wednesday Morning!
As a reminder, due to the NFL opening their season on Wednesday night, September 9, the first free agency will be scheduled at 10 AM ET on that day for all leagues that completed their draft September 8 or prior. All bids must be entered by 10 AM ET on Wednesday, September 9, for the first waiver run of the season. There will not be an 11 PM ET run on Wednesday, September 9, only a 10 AM waiver run. This rule is for Week One only. Get those bids in now, players! |

The free agent blind bidding process is the only means by which free agents may be acquired in the FFPC. There are no other ways to acquire free agents like ‘worst-to-first’ and ‘first-come-first-served’ or any other waiver methods other than blind bidding as described here and in the official rules. Each team will be given $1000 blind bidding “dollars” (not real money, just bidding dollars) to be used for the entire season.
Once these bidding dollars are used up, you will no longer have the ability to pick up free agents. Bids will remain hidden from the rest of the league until after all the winning bids have been awarded. Free agent players will be awarded to the team with the highest bid for that free agent, and the winning bid amount will be deducted from that team’s free agent dollars. Besides the winning bid, all other bids for that free agent are considered losing bids and are cancelled. At this point, the highest remaining bid by any team for any remaining free agent will be considered.

You won’t have to concern yourself with a lot of waivers this season again, players! As a reminder, FFPC Global FAAB bidding is a league management tool that will allow you to place bid groups across all or some of your leagues for the same player. This is a MASSIVE time-saver for a lot of you out there, so we hope you enjoy it! The global bidding link is located near the top of your MyTeams page toward the right hand side of the screen.
Search for a player on your MyTeams page, and he will show either as a free agent or the team that currently rosters him all on the same page. You can also set all of your lineups from the same page by clicking on the '“Manage All Lineups” button. You’ll be able to start or sit anyone on any of your rosters with this Multi-League Lineup Management tool, as well as search for a player on the page as well. With the click of the button, you’ll be able to see whether you have him started or sat in all of your leagues!
