Terry43, those rules came from real-life events and questions I have received! I'll message you about your question with securing figures to bases.

Terry43, we're always looking for new talent!

Yep, I missed an extra page. I'll upload a clean copy next week.

All right Tudor Nation - Here are the rules for the Capitol Kings EFL 2023 season, and we use the Cumulative Weight Distribution System for weighing players. This is the only place on the web to find a copy of the rules, so enjoy! EF_POWER_RULES_2023.pdf

Hardest? An All-Time Chicago Bears squad. All the stripes on the socks and sleeves, I thought it'd never end.

He and I always ended up sitting down and having long conversations when we got together. Prayers and condolences to the family.

Bring back the 49ers. Those squads looked gorgeous.

Thanks for that one, I've just been on good old Google.

I just went on FB Marketplace and reached out to people who were selling EF games. I know it's kind of a long shot, but maybe these folks are selling it because they didn't realize there was a network like us out there. Has anyone had success with this?

NFL Week 12 For Week 11: 11-3 For the year: 100-62 What? 40-3? Ahh Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday, because of food, family, friends, and football. Got a turkey on the smoker, so let’s see who else gets smoked - Bye: None Turkey Day! Bills (-9.5) at Lions This could be the best game of the day. Bills win it, but it’s closer than 9.5. Giants at Cowboys (-9.5) Giants play the ‘Boys tough at Jerrah’s World, but the G-Men are losing momentum. Cowboys win, and should have the dishes put away early on this one. Patriots at Vikings (-2.5) Just the one to watch while you’re having your sixth plate of food at your last stop. However, Vikings in prime time has been a red flag. I still say the Vikings pull this one off, but this is a good one. Sunday: Buccaneers (-3.5) at Browns Buccaneers seem to be finding some mojo while the Browns fall apart like that brined, smoked bird up against my carving knife. Bucs win! Bengals (-1.5) at Titans The Titans will go through the Bengals like Grandma’s green bean casserole. Titans win! Texans at Dolphins (-13.5) The Texans are like the guest who shows up with a six-pack of Doctor Thunder. Dolphins are rolling out the whole thing, and win big. Bears at Jets (-5) The Bears without Justin Fields are like the guest who brought sweet potatoes, and they’re frozen. The Jets are like the guest who runs late and shows up with all the kids. Oh, I guess the Jets win this one. Go kids! Falcons at Commanders (-4.5) The Falcons don’t get roasted by the Commanders, but think of this as a slow cook. Yum. Commanders win it. Broncos (-2) at Panthers The Broncos are playing like the guest who brings the salad and forgets the dressings. The Panthers are playing like your old aunt who put salt instead of sugar in her homemade pie. Panthers still win, please eat some salad, and tell your aunt her pie was good. Ravens (-3.5) at Jaguars This one is a good one, but the Ravens win it. The best I have for a guest reference is that both of these guests would bring booze. The Ravens bring a bottle of wine. The Jaguars bring a suitcase of Old Milwaukee. Chargers (-4.5) at Cardinals The Chargers are the guest who remembered to bring a board game and a deck of cards. The Cardinals are the guest who shows up empty-handed. Chargers win, and play some Electric Football with the young ‘uns! Raiders at Seahawks (-3.5) The Raiders are just playing like a bunch of turkeys, and the Seahawks are like the dish your cousin made for the first time that turns out to be the best thing there. ‘Hawks win! Rams at Chiefs (-14.5) The Rams will likely be without Matthew Stafford, and no Cooper Kupp, which means they're the ones who show up at the house and park on the neighbor's lawn. The Chiefs are still rolling like mama’s cornbread dressing. Chiefs win this one. Saints at 49ers (-9.5) The Saints are like the guest who says they’re bringing the cranberry sauce, and then forgets it. The 49ers are the guest who happened to have two cans since they caught a sale. Niners win! Packers at Eagles (-7) The Packers are the guest who brings a casserole that’s been frozen since last year (don’t mind the ice chunks!). The Eagles are the guest who got the good spiral-cut ham from Honey Baked. Eagles win it! Monday: Steelers at Colts (-2.5) The Colts are the late arrival who show up with hot apple pie. The Steelers brought one 2-liter bottle of soda that explodes all over your good sweater when you open it. Colts win!

NFL Week 11 For the week: 7-7, For the year: 89-59 Bye: Jaguars, Dolphins, Seahawks, Buccaneers Thursday: Packers (-3) at Titans Titans will keep punching people in the mouth, and the Packers return to the doghouse. Titans win. Sunday: Bears at Falcons (-3) Falcons still playing with a chance. The Bears aren’t. Falcons win at home. Panthers at Ravens (-13) Ravens should run through these guys. Browns at Bills (-8) Bills come back with a vengeance and beat the Browns. Commanders (-3) at Texans The Commanders travel to Houston and get a win. Eagles (-7) at Colts The Colts are putting weapons back on the field while the Eagles got gashed by the Commanders. Eagles win this one, but it’s a good one. Jets at Patriots (-3) Sorry Jet fans, the Patriots win this one and continue to muddy the waters in a crazy AFC East. Rams at Saints (-3) OK, so no Cooper Kupp for the Rams. Saints have to win this one, right? I’ll take the Saints on this one. Might regret this. Lions at Giants (-3) Giants win it, but this is a good one. Raiders at Broncos (-3) Raiders are crying while the Broncos are dying….Raiders will keep crying because the Broncos find a way to win at home. Cowboys (-1.5) at Vikings Not a prime time game? No problem, Vikings win it. Bengals (-4) at Steelers The Bengals win one in the Steel City! Yep! Chiefs (-5.5) at Chargers Chiefs keep on rolling with a win here. Monday: 49ers (-8) at Cardinals (in Mexico City) Niners keep up the winning ways.

NFL Week 10 Last Week: 8-5 For the year: 82-52 Bye: Ravens, Bengals, Jets, Patriots Thursday: Falcons (-2.5) at Panthers Look for the Panthers to win this one, because I got a team of them in the mail today! Sunday: Seahawks at Buccaneers (-2.5) (from Munich, Germany) Apparently Germany is full of Seahawks’ fans. Which is good, because they will beat Brady. Vikings at Bills (-3.5) Bills win this, all I can say. Lions at Bears (-2.5) Does the Justin Fields party continue? Yes, it does. Bears win! Jaguars at Chiefs (-9.5) Chiefs win, but this will be a game to watch. Browns at Dolphins (-3.5) Fancy vs. Smashmouth, Filet vs. Ground Chuck. Dolphins win it, but Browns are looking pretty good. Texans at Giants (-4) I like the Texans this year, but that’s not saying much. Giants come off a rest and win this one. Saints (-1.5) at Steelers Can’t believe the Saints are still favored here. The Saints have never done well in the Steel City (have only won there three times). Steelers win this one. Brees beat 'em there in 2014. Prior? The last time the Saints beat the Steelers at home? 1987! Broncos at Titans (-2.5) This one’s kind of a weird one. No it isn’t. Titans win, but true to their style, it’ll be close. Colts at Raiders (-5) Coach Jeff Saturday! Get ready to take the first “L” of many. Raiders, well, uh, should win. Because if they don't..... Cowboys (-4.5) at Packers The Packers are crumbling, but Rodgers has Dallas’ number. The Cowboys have Mike McCarthy, so Cowboys win! Cardinals at Rams (-1.5) This could be a battle of backups. All right, I gotta go with the Rams here. Chargers at 49ers (-7) Chargers are banged up on offense, and the Niners look ready for the stretch run. Niners win it! Monday: Commanders at Eagles (-11) The (Hahaha!) Carson Wentz revenge game - No, it isn’t. Eagles win this one at home.

It looks like the Bills might have an injury issue to address. Didn't help that the Saints laid an egg (again) on national TV.

I'm liking these all-red Texans. Check out the Thursday Night game...

Check out what's left from the sale items of the pre-painted generic teams. Surely, there's a few in there that can be used with a little imagination.

NFL Week 9 For the week - 9-6. For the year - 74-47. Bye: Cowboys, Giants, Broncos, Browns, Steelers, 49ers Thursday: Eagles (-14) at Texans Eagles should cruise in this one. Seriously, Amazon? Sunday: Chargers (-3) at Falcons The ‘Bolts are banged up. Look for the Falcons to win this one. Dolphins (-5) at Bears Here comes Chubb! Dolphins win this one. Panthers (-7) at Bengals The Panthers’ performance against the Falcons was no fluke. Lookout - Panthers win. Packers (-3.5) at Lions A team that can’t win versus a team that won’t win. Packers win this by default. Raiders (-1.5) at Jaguars Jaguars get back on a winning track in this one. Colts at Patriots (-5.5) Patriots still look pretty good, and win this one. Jets at Bills (-12.5) It doesn’t get easier for the Jets this week. Bills win it easily. Vikings (-3.5) at Commanders I know I’ve been high on the Commanders the past few weeks, but the Vikings win here. Seahawks at Cardinals (-2) Looks for the Seahawks to win this one. Rams at Buccaneers (-3) Bucs are the walking wounded. So are the Rams. Buca win this for being at home. Titans at Chiefs (-12.5) No Tannehill for the Titans? Chiefs chalk up another win. Monday: Ravens (-2.5) at Saints Saints have played well on MNF at home. So, Saints should win this one. Right? Right?

I can say for me that the Tight End is an integral part of my offense. In competitive play, they get some of the best bases that I have, so they can knock around a linebacker or become a speed concern to a secondary. In Solitaire play, they are based as accurately as possible to their true instincts. However, you should always have someone picking up the TE on each play, that just makes sense. Show your TE some love and give them an upgrade on the base.

NFL Week 8 For Week 7: 11-3. For the year: 65-41. Bye Week: Chargers and Chiefs Thursday: Ravens at Buccaneers (-1.5) Ravens win this one as the Buccaneers keep on slipping. Sunday: Broncos at Jaguars (-2.5) (@ London) Broncos' coach has his job on the line. Jaguars win this one. Bears at Cowboys (-9.5) No Zeke, no problem. Dallas' defense keeps making statements, and this one becomes another Cowboy win. Raiders (-1.5) at Saints Raiders are fighting a flu bug, and the Saints are still in free fall. Raiders still win it. Panthers at Falcons (-4.5) Falcons bring the Panthers back down to Earth and the 'Birds win this one. Steelers at Eagles (-10.5) In the recent past, this was must see TV. Now it's all Eagles. Eagles win this one. Dolphins (-3.5) at Lions Lions are banged up and deflated. Dolphins are trying to right the ship, and win this one. Cardinals at Vikings (-3.5) Vikings should win this one pretty handily. Patriots (-2.5) at Jets Patriots have quarterback issues and the Jets defense is ferocious. Look for the Jets to win this one. Titans (-2.5) at Texans Gotta take the Titans on this one. Giants at Seahawks (-3) Giants travel cross-country looking fired up. Seahawks' offense is banged up, so the Giants get the win. Commanders at Colts (-3) This could have been the Carson Wentz revenge matchup. Now, it's Taylor Heinicke making it two wins in a row. Commanders win it! 49ers (-1.5) at Rams 49ers still look too good, and the Rams come off a bye week. I'll take the Rams in this one. Packers at Bills (-10.5) Aaron Rodgers is dealing with a thumb injury. The Bills win it and keep on rolling. Monday: Bengals (-3.5) at Browns The ghost of Paul Brown may haunt these teams on Monday, and the Bengals should bust out a big win.

My NFL Fab 5 teams are coming from the 70's to the 90's, and I use players I remember watching and use Pro Football Reference to fill in gaps. When I was a kid, I would do one "big" trade per year. A few of those included the Saints trading for Billy Sims instead of Earl Campbell (early 80's) and Bobby Hebert going to the Phoenix Cardinals instead of the Atlanta Falcons. As far as my Big Man League, that will include player drafts.

Thanks! I do a lot of color matching in order to make sure my teams look a certain way, and I use the clear coat from Citadel for a final piece. I like adding the gloss clearcoat to all my work just to make it pop.

NFL Week 7 For Week 6: 6-8. For the year: 54-38. This was my first time this year falling below .500 on picks. Let’s see if I can redeem myself. Bye Week: Bills, Rams, Viking, Eagles Thursday: Saints at Cardinals (-2.5) DeAndre Hopkins returns for the Cardinals. Cardinals win it because the Saints are still a mess. This could be the best TNF game in over a month. Sunday: Browns at Ravens (-6.5) No, no, Browns, you’re not fooling me again. Ravens win this one. Buccaneers (-11) at Panthers XFL Represent! P.J. Walker takes the snaps for the Panthers. However, Bucs should win this. Falcons at Bengals (-6.5) Don’t sleep on the Falcons. Bengals win this one only because they’re at home. Lions at Cowboys (-7) Dak is back! Cowboys win this one, and take the over (49) on this. Giants at Jaguars (-3) The Giants are banged up. I’m taking the Jaguars to win this one. Colts at Titans (-2.5) Will the real Colts please stay standing? I’m taking the Titans here. Packers (-4.5) at Commanders Ron Rivera had it right, but the Packers aren’t impressing anyone either. AR may not go, and the Commanders are starting Taylor Heinicke. XFL Represent! The Commanders win it! Jets at Broncos (-1) What is the Jets’ front 7 going to do to Danger-Russ? It will be dangerous…ly bad. Jets win this one. Texans at Raiders (-7) Raiders are trying to put the house in order and win this one. Seahawks at Chargers (-6) The injury bug has decimated the Chargers. Look for the Seahawks to get the win. Chiefs (-2.5) at 49ers The Chiefs want to rebound, and so do the Niners. I’ll take the Chiefs for the win. Steelers at Dolphins (-7) A whole seven points? Oh, wait, Pickett may not play? Tua could play? Dolphins win it. Monday: Bears at Patriots (-8) The more we see of the Bears, the less impressive they look. The more we see of the Patriots, the more we have to kind of like. Look for the Patriots to get an easy home win.

NFL Week 6 For Week 5: 9-7. For the year: 48-30. Teams on Bye: Lions, Texans, Raiders, and Titans To the Broncos: Catch a ball! To the Lions: What was that? Thursday: Commanders at Bears (even) Come on, this is it? Bears look like the picture of stability next to the crumbling Commanders, and the Bears win this one. Sunday: Vikings (-3) at Dolphins No Tua means Mo problems. Dolphins defense will slow down the strong Viking offense, but the Vikes still win this one. Ravens (-5.5) at Giants This is going to be a good game, but look for Justin Tucker to bail out the Ravens for the win - again. Patriots at Browns (-3) The Patriots defense gave the Lions nightmares, while the Browns are itching for a win. Browns win it this week. Bengals (-1) at Saints Joe Burrow comes back to the Bayou State. The Bengals will leave with a win. 49ers (-5.5) at Falcons This is a cross-country jaunt, which usually spells trouble for the visiting team. Niners have too much juice and win this one. Jets at Packers (-7) This sounds about right, only because the game is in Green Bay. Packers rebound this week, but don't sleep on the Jets. Buccaneers (-8) at Steelers Tampa slogs their way to another W, but doesn't it seem like it's getting tougher to do each week? Jaguars at Colts (-2) Jaguars blanked these guys in Week 2 at home, and had a tough loss last week. Jaguars win it this time. Cardinals (-3) at Seahawks What is th..wait, Seahawks can't stop the run. There is no way the Seahawks lose this one at home. Seattle takes it. Panthers at Rams (-10) Highest point differential so far this year. Let's see what a new coach, new DC, and Sam Darnold can do for the Panthers. Rams still win. Bills (-2) at Chiefs Chiefs are playing on another level. I like the Chiefs to win this one, so the Bills win the playoff rematch. Cowboys at Eagles (-5) Eagles win this one, only because it's at home. Cowboys' defense will be the star of the show. Monday: Broncos at Chargers (-6) The Broncos haven't been this bad on offense since The Beatles played on Ed Sullivan (1964). Chargers win this one.

I have gotten several recommendations lately to look online at a site/app called Discord in order to find new coaches. What is Discord? Discord is a VoIP and instant messaging social platform. Users have the ability to communicate with voice calls, video calls, text messaging, media and files in private chats or as part of communities called "servers". Has anyone worked with this?
