What is the FLOG?
The Fantasy League of Ordinary Gentlemen, or FLOG, was started in 2015 by a group of six childhood friends from a small town in Indiana. The original members (Connor, Jake, Justin, Keagan, Quentin, and TC) shared a love for all things football and wanted a way to keep in touch as everyone was growing up and moving around the country. The league expanded to eight teams in 2018, with two other lifelong friends (Markus and Scott) officially joining the FLOG.
League Structure and Rules
The FLOG is not set up like a typical fantasy football league, most notably because we only have 8 members. We have compensated for fewer owners by expanding the size of our starting rosters:
(2) QB
(2) RB
(3) WR
(1) TE
(2) FLEX
(1) DEF
(1) K
(8) Bench slots
*(1) IR slot
*expanded to (4) for the 2020 season
The FLOG is located on the ESPN site and uses the 0.5 PPR scoring format. Passing touchdowns are worth 5 points in the FLOG rather than the standard 4 points, so QB's are very valuable.
The FLOG is also a keeper league, each owner is able to keep 4 players that they had on their team from the previous year. Since we utilize keeper players, we use a linear draft format with position based on the final standings from the previous year. Last place picks first in each round, and the league champion picks last. This linear draft format allows owners to use future draft picks in trade discussions, you can check out the FLOG draft results and future orders at the links below:
*final order will be adjusted after the season
If you would to get an inside look at how all of these draft picks changed hands over the years, check out the history of all the FLOG trades made in the past 3 years:
We have also kept a record for the entire FLOG history, including final standings, head to head match-ups, and individual records over the past 5 years:
All of these documents are updated regularly throughout the year, so you can always stay up to date with everything that happens in the FLOG.
