Fantasy 2025 - EMPIRE League - Discussion

[exe ex machina]

Still have a bunch of settings, tasks, and chores to do, but the new salaries for free agents and new salaries for all your off contract players has been done. So now you can see what your real salary cap space is when deciding which off-contract rookies and vets you want to re-sign.

See the spreadsheet below....and find your name....

You have till end of April to decide the following by posting in this thread your decision.

All the players with an "old salary" of $500,000 are players coming off their rookie contracts....nominate (no limit) all those you wish to re-sign to either a ONE or TWO year deal on their "new salary".

All the players with an "old salary" of $1,000,000+ are players coming off their vet contracts.....nominate a maximum of three of these players you want to re-sign to either a TWO or THREE year deal on their "new salary".....and ....nominate a maximum of one of these players to assign a franchise tag to and what draft round grade to attach to his tag (either 1st 2nd, or 3rd round grade).

The 2025 off-season is therefore officially open, and I will complete all the other tasks in the coming days....

Hey Exe Gesis I might be wrong but why is Justin Herbert's salary only 3.9m ? Seems incorrect?

Weeks 1-14 are being used for salaries and stats.

Weeks 1-14 are being used for salaries and stats.

Have we always done that? I thought playoff weeks were included?

Used to use 17. Not sure when it changed to 14, couldve been when new scoring rules and fixing scoring typos and errors happened. But I've always felt salaries and stats should be based on 14 given our actual season for all 16 teams is a 14 game regular season

Just checked and we used 17 up to last year, so this change has only been brought in now. I wish you'd tell the league when you any make changes.
