The draft is underway!

Click here to go to your war room, or visit the war room item in the draft menu.

This league has just begun! Because this is a new league, it will be a few days before the allocation draft begins (the countdown timer above shows when the first pick will fire). This is a great time to get a team as you will be able to build it from scratch! If you don't want to wait for the draft, though, check to see if there is a team in an established league that you can take over.

NOTE: As of the last sim, this league was under the minimum 20% capacity. Invite your friends to join MyFootballNow to keep this league alive! Then send them to this league to become the owner of a team! The league will expire at 8/01/2025 8:00 am.

Can someone explain the difference between these?

I'm trying to edit player weights, and I keep coming back to this. Thanks for the help!

Avoid Fumble: The ability for the player to hold on to the ball when he is hit. It is used against the hitting player's "Strip Ball" skill. It also weighs into the ability to receive a handoff cleanly.

Ball Carrying: The ability for the player to run with the ball (i.e. a low ball carrying skill will cause him to run below his maximum speed while carrying the ball. A low ball carrying skill also reduces his cutbacks.)
