Free Agent Franchise III - Full Topic

Make your favorite franchise better by stealing some free agents!
  1. When you sign up, select your franchise and choose two players to protect.
  2. The next owner to sign up then selects a franchise, two protected players and three players to steal as free agents from the immediately prior selected franchise. You cannot select the same team as the one ahead of you.
  3. The first team in the league will select from the last team selected. The last team selected cannot be the same as the first team.
  4. Each owner will then build their team using only player seasons with their selected franchise, no twisting, and the three selected free agents from their franchise, no twisting. You must roster your 2 protected players and the 3 free agents you selected. You cannot roster the 3 free agents you lost.
