FFPC Empire Superflex Dynasty Leagues
An FFPC Empire League is a dynasty league with a large progressive prize pool that grows yearly and is only awarded once there is a back-to-back winner. When that happens, the back-to-back champion wins the Empire Prize Pool, and the league disbands.
The FFPC Empire Superflex Dynasty format is a fully managed format, with weekly lineups, waivers, trades, head-to-head and playoffs.
Starting at just $100, there is a league for everyone.
Superflex allows the use of the QB at the Flex position. A few other small differences as well:
- QB can be used as a Flex, but only for 1 Flex position. The 2nd Flex can be RB, WR or TE.
- Superflex QB passing scoring is 25 yards = 1 point. Interception are minus two points (-2)
- For Standard Superflex Empire Drafts, teams can draft a maximum of three (3) QBs. Teams may go over 3 QBs rostered via free agency or trades.
