On to the FFPC Playoffs – The Highs, the Lows, and a Shot at $1 Million

Shawn Siegele
December 1, 2022

Shawn Siegele chronicles the highs and lows of an FFPC Main Event team that had to fight for its playoff life all the way to the very end of Monday Night Football in Week 12. Does it have the upside to win twice and force entry into the race for the $1 million?

Injuries to a lot of our favorite young players and priority targets has been a constant theme of the 2022 campaign, many of them taking place at the very beginning of games. Travis Etienne became the last casualty at the onset of Week 12.

It’s still been another brilliant NFL season, with Week 12 coming through as the best week so far. Can a Stealing Bananas special with Ben Gretch make a run in the FFPC Main Event postseason?

As we embark upon Phase 2 of the high-stakes season, I wanted to take a moment to look back at one of the biggest roller coaster teams I’ve ever had the privilege to draft and manage. What was the experience of 2022 like? What can it tell us about the future? Are advancing RotoViz-oriented squads poised to dominate the postseason?

This is a look at the first 10 rounds from the original draft. Can you guess which team is ours? How about the other three playoff squads?

12 Weeks of Chaos, 2 Weeks to a Title, and 5 Weeks to Glory?

Can we make a push to the brink like FFPC Main Events in 2020? 12th with Curtis Patrick, 31st with Blair Andrews
Or the FFPC Best Ball Tournament teams in 2021? 2nd with Colm Kelly and Blair Andrews behind champion and RV star Conor O’Driscoll
