Your Playoff Push Begins With Tonight's FAAB

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from all of us at the FFPC!

The regular season ended this past week for the FFPC Main Event and the FantasyPros Championship. So for those of you in the playoff chase, make sure you get your rosters ready for the playoffs with tonight’s FAAB run. Remember that only the four teams which make the league playoffs in each FFPC league will be allowed to continue making bids in Week 13 and Week 14.

As a reminder, in all FFPC leagues (except dynasty), all quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends that have been cut beginning Week 11 will be REMOVED from the free agent pool and may not be re-acquired by any team for the remainder of the season. This is done to minimize the possibility of potential collusion.

Kickers and defenses cut WILL REMAIN in the free agent pool and will be available to be re-acquired by teams as long as the free agency bidding processes remain open. Again, this is taking place in ALL FFPC leagues, except FFPC dynasty leagues.

Also, this is your friendly reminder that all FFPC Main Event, FantasyPros Championship, Classic, Victory Point, Dynasty and other managed leagues have waivers tonight with a 10 pm deadline, but a second weekly waiver period processes on Sunday morning at 10 am ET.

We have some aspects of bidding that you should remember below, but you can also check out the video we made right here for a step-by-step guide to utilizing your FAAB to acquire new players.

  • 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.

NEW - Global Bidding:

  • Global FAAB bidding is the FFPC’s newest league management tool that will allow you to place bid groups across all or some of your leagues for the same player. The global bidding link is located near the top of your MyTeams page toward the right hand side of the screen. In order to understand how it works, please check out the five-minute tutorial that is posted on our YouTube channel here.

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.

12:30 PM ET Kickoff Thursday:

  • Don’t forget to get your lineups submitted before the Bears and Lions get their Thanksgiving game started at 12:30 pm ET tomorrow. The Giants and Cowboys go after that with the Dolphins visiting the Packers in the Thanksgiving Day nightcap.

The FFPC regular season may have ended, but you can still get your fantasy fun with the Weekly Challenge! There's no draft or salary cap: Just choose 10 or 12 players by Thursday’s or Sunday's kickoff and watch them ride all the way through the weekend's games. But remember, you can only pick ONE player per NFL team!

The cost is $35 or $200 to enter, and you can win up to $2,500 in these 10-, 30- and 150-team contests. Play the classic format with kickers and defenses or the slim format that does not have them. Enter at this link right here.
