More Than $10,000,000 Up For Grabs

Main Event & FPC Three-Week Sprints Launch Tomorrow

Congrats to all of the teams in both the FFPC Main Event and the Footballguys Players Championship this past weekend that were able to snare their individual league crown. I also wish the best of luck to all playoff teams in the ancillary, VP Money, dynasty and satellite leagues this coming week as well.

With Week 15 upon us, every single classic format FFPC and FPC league has now entered the playoff stage of the season, so it's going to be a fun three-week ride leading into the holidays. The FFPC, FPC, Consolation, and Toilet Bowl leader boards are all updated as well, so you can see where you currently stack up among the rest of the field.

This week begins the most thrilling three weeks of fantasy football. More than $10,000,000 will be awarded in the FFPC's two major tournaments alone. Weeks 15 through 17 will determine the $1,000,000 FFPC Main Event winner and the Footballguys Players Championship $500,000 winner, as well as countless other prize winners. Championship round winners will be determined based on each team's combined total points scored during weeks 15, 16 and 17 added to its one-game average from the regular season. Good luck to you all!

Playoff Challenge Is Ready for You

Out of this year's Championship Round? Not to worry! Registrations are live for the 2022-23 World Famous FFPC Playoff Challenge. Don't forget that you'll be able to apply your regular season winnings in your account right now to the Playoff Challenge as well.

The Challenge will have 12 starting roster spots rather than the 10 starting roster spots in a typical FFPC starting lineup. The two added starting roster spots will both be FLEX spots (Flex can be RB, WR or TE).

The main details of the Challenge are listed below:

• Entry fee: $200 per team
• Contest capped at a maximum of 7,800 entries.
• $500,000 Grand Prize
• $1,400,250 in guaranteed prizes paying down to 900th place
• Contest runs from the start of the NFL playoffs through the Super Bowl.
• Each team consists of 12 players in an FFPC starting roster format (plus two additional flexes).
• Each team chooses from 14 playoff teams but only ONE per team.
• All rosters will be locked by kickoff of the first NFL playoff game Saturday, January 14th.
• No roster adjustments will be allowed even for games starting later.
• For more details, see the full rules and payout structure on the contest page linked right here.

2022 Big Payback League Leaders

In the Big Payback League #1 after 14 weeks of play, Charlie George is crushing it with a 11-3 record and 46 victory points. Notching a 156.3 score, George's Dream_Chasers squad was led by Austin Ekeler's 24.4, Tyreek Hill's 24.1, Tony Pollard's 22.2 and Deshaun Watson's 20.1 points and earned a first-round bye in the playoffs along with Jay Reid and Danny Mueller's Lombardi Time squad.

Over in the Big Payback #2, Albert Chapman's Geckos is leading the other 11 teams with 37 victory points. Patrick Mahomes (26.3), James Conner (23.4) and Zay Jones (21.7) were the stars for the Geckos in Week14, as the squad moves on to a first-round playoff bye along with Adam Levine's Big Fish.

As we take a look in Big Payback #3, Michael Zucca has managed his Mongooses entry to the top with 40 victory points, four VPs ahead of Michael Bronte's NEW SHERIFF squad. Zucca got big contributions from Justin Jefferson (33.3), Hill, Pollard and David Njoku (22.2) en route to a 146.45 score. Zucca and Bronte will take this week off thanks to their top-seeded teams in the playoffs.

Finally, over in the Big Payback #4, John Pierce's Fat Frankie Inc took the #1 seed with a 10-4 record and 38 VPs. His 166.25 Week 14 score was due in part to Jefferson, Hill and Jones. Mr Bill's Bill and Don Ezzell snared the other first-round bye because of their acquisition of the two-seed.

The Big Payback leagues were held at Planet Hollywood at the 2022 FFPC Live Events in September. The champions in these leagues will pocket $25,000 at the end of the year, with $15,000 going to second and $5,000 to third after the top two regular season teams are awarded $5,000 for their efforts. Good luck to all the players the rest of the way!
