TCAT is going so well that I thought it might be time to bring back the TFL.
I'd like to get an idea of how many teams we'd have before I commission the league, so if you're interested please let me know in this thread.
(For the uninitiated, it's just a fantasy NFL league).
I might be convinced to write summaries each week if enough people sign up
I'm in!
I'm in for sure, I just need to decide if I'm entering GHST or Els Çeumarscheirs :p
The Florencia Flight-or-Fighters are in...
How does this work ? Is it possible to play for non-US persons who only know real football ;-) ?

Yes absolutely. I have no idea about American Football either and I had great fun last time we did this (which was several years ago).
It is a bit more complex than TCAT I think, because you can make transfers and changes to your team roster, and there are some aspects that arent immediately obvious, but then again last time we did this there was an autodraft so you dont need to pick players to start.
Wondering if I should join too.
This is great! I'd like to submit the Maricopa Havana Bananas!
Nobody is protected from victory, let's enroll "els Cambarots Alvaldours da Cézembre" !
OK, I have set up the league. You can register a team here: https://fantasy.espn.com/football/league/join?leagueId=1663241138&inviteId=b4f266ba-9a15-401d-b0f1-c762d6fec7d9
The Squilats Cjovani are in
Els Çeumarscheirs were supposed to be back, but I'm guessing ESPN doesn't appreciate the inclusion of arsch. GHST it is, then.

Nah they just hate any and all diacritics.
Yeah, I misinterpreted what the "banned word" error message meant.
The Maricopa Havana Bananas have entered the game!
Unfortunately it wouldn't let me use my beautiful logo for the helmet:

I am about to close registration and set the draft date, so make sure to register soon if you are interested!
I am thinking of having a live draft instead of an auto-draft like we used to do. Of course, you can still set up auto-draft to draft for you if you won't be available or don't know what you're doing.
els Corsairs da Cezembre are in ! this being said, I do not understand a single word on the screens, nor do I know what are the next steps. But I'm confident in Victory.
Canards are in - fear the beak!

I have scheduled the draft for Friday at 6:00 PM (Talossan time). If you cannot attend, your team will be drafted via autopick. You can control how you want the autopick to make selections by going to your team's homepage and clicking "Edit Draft Strategy."

I will do the autopick
Draft starting in a bit over an hour!
I'll be hanging out in the discord voice chat
I can't make it sadly (It'll be 1 am over here). Then again, I doubt I can beat autopick anyway without any prepration, so we'll just see what luck brings us.

ok found it again...
Thanks to Ian and the autopick ! I now have a nice team of 16, and hope there's at least one good goal keeper
Ugh. BdC were so close to winning that first match...
The Havana Bananas got stomped! Maybe speedos aren't the best uniform...

First week went well! Especially since the original prediction was a narrow loss.
Some efficient trading by els Tavulairs today. The prognosis for BdC has improved considerably.
Cézembrean teams appear to be surprisingly good at this.
I wonder if I'd currently be better than 1-2 if I'd just turned on auto pick like every one else :P
I have learned (completely by accident) that the Eagles (go Birds) are using a "rugby-like" play to gain yards with their qb.
Apparently critics say it makes football too much like rugby. I fail to see the issue with that :p
Kinda worried about the game tomorrow. I wanted to get the Eagles defense but Ian got there first so now they will be used against me instead. :/

It seems your quarterback (whatever that means indeed) is not playing this week. You can actually add another quarterback to your team to temporarily replace him. In the menu under players -> add players, you can use the filters to select a quarterback. All the ones with a green plus can be added immediately and the orange ones conditionally after a few days (not gonna explain that fully now). Normally you would also have to drop a player (which could be another position) from your bench.
However, it also seems you have at least one injured player who could be moved to the IR slot. So you could do that first and then add another QB for free and then bench the QB isnt playing and put in the new pick instead.

Thanks ! I've chosen a player called Jordan Love, because Love always wins at the end

Perhaps because we have a playing field that is sandy and only available fully at low tide. Or perhaps because the other locations need to build a stadium similar to what we have on our map (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1McDX7tjNeMVG2R5LNifawvpQJQVYGGI4/view?usp=sharing) (although that one is for Talossan Football (https://wiki.talossa.com/Rules_to_Talossan_Football) rather than North American Gridiron Football.)
Perhaps
@Bentxami Puntmasleu can find a location in Vuode that will work.

Port Maxhestic has been really unlucky. Second most points score but somehow still 3-6.

I seem to have lost track of the proper account to sign in to ESPN with - as commissioner can you clue me in as to what email to use (you can use a PM)
CF Jahnlähle 2799 made it into the playoffs! Somehow. As the only non-Cézembrean team.
Welp, wish me luck.
So Tavulairs 0-3 against Corsairs now. A real angstgegner for me. Thankfully there is still next week to turn things around maybe.

Congratulations on storming up the table and into the finals!
And also congratulations to the Corsairs making the final thus eliminating the top two seeds.
Congratulations to the Corsairs for taking the title!

Waow ! thanks to all my supporters (and to the organizer !), I'll try to do even better next year !
Congrats Þerxh!
