Make your favorite franchise better by stealing some free agents!

1. When you sign up, select your franchise, choose two players to protect and three players to steal from the team selected prior to yours.
2. When making your selection you cannot select the same franchise as the one prior to yours and you must declare your protected players and free agent steals immediately. In fairness to all, those 5 named players need to occur upon franchise announcement and CANNOT be changed once the next team has been announced.
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.
