Fearless Assassins Fantasy Hockey

[mraw435]

The 2024 hockey season is fast approaching and we are kicking off the inaugural FA NHL Fantasy league. Whether you are a fantasy sports veteran or new to the game, all are welcome to join up and get those bragging rights at the end of the season. 
If you are interested in joining the Fearless Assassins fantasy league - reply in this topic! 

 

How It Works:

• Draft Your Team: You'll start by selecting players from across the NHL in our live draft. The goal? Build a team that racks up the most points based on real-life performances. Once we have a general idea of who is going to participate - we will determine when to schedule the draft. The draft operates on a first-come, first-pick basis so be prepared to not get all the best players! 
• Scoring System: Points are awarded based on players' real-world stats—goals, assists, saves, shutouts, and more. The better your players perform on the ice, the more points your team scores. Keep an eye on your roster and make trades or pick up free agents to stay competitive.
• Compete Weekly: Each week, your team will go head-to-head against another league member's team. The team with the most points at the end of the week wins the matchup. At the end of the season, the top teams will enter the playoffs to compete for the championship!
• Stay Engaged: Fantasy hockey isn’t just about the draft—it's a season-long experience! Stay active by setting your lineup, making trades, and adding players from the waiver wire. You can chat with other league members, talk strategy, and of course, trash-talk your rivals!

 

Why Join?

• Bragging Rights: Show off your hockey smarts and claim the title of Fantasy Champion!
• Community: Connect with fellow hockey fans here in FA!
• Fun All Season Long: Keep the excitement alive from puck drop in October all the way through to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Made ESPN account.

 

Will come to be awesome to have our own Fantasy league. I never played ESPN fantasy league. I had my own league and finnish version of it, what is a lot different. In my own Fantasy, i basicly have my favorite players on sheet. Will be interesting to watch hockey this year. I never joined fantasy leagues because i am so loyal to my favorite players, that i have to have them in my team.

some further details in case anyone is interested and has not spoken up yet! 

 

We will be having an autodraft so folks playing can pre-pick their players and then on draft day (2 October) the autodraft will complete. 

 

Some roster perameters:

Roster Size: 22
Total Starters: 17
Total on Bench: 5 (1 IR)
 

The default roster slots are divided into four overall positional categories: Goalie, Forward, Defenseman and Utility. The Forward (F) slots can be filled with players from all three skating line positions (left wing, center, right wing). The Utility (UTIL) slot may be filled by any non-goalie.

 

We will have 9 forwards, 5 defense, 1 utility, 2 goalies, 5 bench (and 1 injurted reserve)
