Playing fantasy sports allows you to manage your own team of real players. You build a roster by drafting players from actual teams. Leagues vary in size, but are usually comprised of 8-20 owners. After an initial fantasy draft is held, league members continuously change their roster as the General Manager/Coach to build the most talented and winning team.

Fleaflicker offers head-to-head matchup leagues, roto leagues, and total points leagues.
You can switch the type of league before the season starts. Do this by going to League » Settings » Edit League Type
.
After you create your account, click the Join A League
. From here, you can select Find A League For Me
that will automatically place you in an existing public league.
Creating a league is easy. First, create an account, then click Create A New League
button and enter the basic information to get started. Later, you can customize the league even further.
All owners must first sign up for a free Fleaflicker account before they can join a league. New owners can sign up for a Fleaflicker account. For private leagues, an existing league member must send an invitation either using the Invite
button in the standings or copying and pasting the shareable link on the left side of the page.
Players gain points based on their actual game-day performance. Your points will tally based on how players fare in their actual team's game and your league's specific scoring rules.
Fleaflicker offers a standard scoring system for each sport plus dozens of additional scoring categories that can be added to customize the experience.
If your league has empty spots or unowned teams, a green Invite
button will be shown on the league standings page. From there, you can type in the email addresses of owners you wish to invite. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the link on the left side of the page (Invite Owners
button).
Yes. If your league has drafted and there are no green Invite
buttons on the standings page, go to League » Settings » Create a New Team
. This will create a new ownerless team. You can then invite an owner to take over the new team.
If you see a message saying that your league invitation wasn't sent because that person has "opted out of receiving Fleaflicker emails", you can still send them them an email with the address of your league. Just copy and paste the contents of the invitation message and send it from your email.
Yes, Fleaflicker allows you to invite up to four other co-owners to help you manage and control your team. To add a co-owner, go to Team » Settings » Add Co-Owner

Fleaflicker has first-class dynasty support:
The commissioner can edit scoring rules from League » Settings » Edit Scoring Rules » Custom
and add the appropriate rule. Here are some examples:
Send our support team an email with a link to your league, and if the commissioner has been inactive for an extended period of time and the league is at a standstill, they'll be removed from their post and an active member may take over.
Under the Owner column on the standings page, your commissioner and co-commish will show in bold. Public leagues that are named in a format like Public League ABC123 are commissioner-less by design and run on autopilot following our standard settings.
If you suspect an owner of unfair play, you can report them by going to the Report Abusive Owner page under: Team » Settings » Report Abusive Owner
. Fleaflicker does not condone cheating or collusion of any kind, nor are users allowed to create more than one account for themselves.
Yes, you can still set your roster and accumulate points even if you have been eliminated from the playoffs or if your fantasy season ends before the regular sport's season does. You can view these points at League » Leaders
.
Leagues that are not altered and use the default rules and settings will automatically be entered into a worldwide competition. Teams in these leagues will be ranked against one another on a leaderboard based on fantasy points per game.
Fleaflicker transfers all your previous league's results and information over automatically. This includes every league setting and all players on the rosters. All you have to do is activate the new season by clicking the Activate
link.
The following are available year-round:
No. Changes to your league's draft order can only be made after you activate for the next season.
Select the Players
section and select any player and it will show what their points would have been in previous years according to your custom rules. You can click on the PF scoring for any week of the season to see the complete breakdown and see how the scoring rules were applied. This will help you confirm accuracy after you put a new rule in place.
All leagues on Fleaflicker have the ability to play all 17 weeks of the regular season. With Head-to-Head leagues, the commissioner can opt to run a playoff tournament at the end of the regular season, the timing of which is adjustable. Or, they can turn the tournament off and play all 17 weeks. Total Points and Roto leagues play all 17 weeks of the regular season.
We don't have the ability to allow fantasy leagues to play beyond the regular season at this time, but player data will still be flowing in if a commissioner wants to use it to manage an offline tournament during this timeframe.
Fleaflicker automatically detects your device's timezone and uses that to display all game start times. If the timezone we display doesn't look right, check your device's timezone.
Mostly bragging rights. Plus a trophy will be added to the profiles pages of all league champs and in the league standings for the winning season.

We limit each account to 50 leagues.
Your league ID is the number at the very end of your league URL. So if your league URL is fleaflicker.com//nfl/leagues/100, then your league ID is 100.
The Optimum PF (points scored for team) is the aggregate total of points a team would have achieved if an owner had chosen all of the top scoring players from their roster, including their IR and Taxi Squad. The percentage that shows on the Leaders tab underscores the degree to which an owner starts their best scorers over the course of the season.
Commissioners sometimes use the Optimum score each week on the scoring match-up pages to adjust the final box score if they are running the league best ball format. Also, commissioners can use the total Optimum score from the Leaders tab at the end of the regular season to determine the order of teams. (Commissioners are able to manually re-seed the playoff teams during the first week of the playoffs.)
The Coach Rating, located on the weekly scoring match-up pages, is calculated by comparing the optimum lineup with the actual lineup. An owner who leaves less points on the bench will have a better rating.
Unfortunately no, we don't store past projections. All of the projection data comes in fresh each week and the previous data is replaced.
