Thank you to everyone who registered to play Fantasy Baseball UK 2024. In total, 115 managers have entered teams across the various league formats. The range of fantasy baseball formats on offer has expanded each year since FBUK relaunched in 2020, now totalling five different types of competition. This year we are running head-to-head leagues for the first time.
Invitation / team renewal emails for each league were sent out last week and the drafts in the Yahoo leagues took place this past weekend 22-24 March. Make sure your team roster is ready for Opening Day on Thursday 28 March! All leagues will play through until the end of the MLB regular season on 29 September.
Once the season is underway, the Standings section on the FBUK website will have a summary of all the daily league standings collected in one place. In the case of the FBUK League (standard draft game), FBUK LTD (limited trade game) and FBUK Classic (salary cap league) you will be able to view the combined standings for each of the overall championships, as well as the individual divisions.
More info and support
The Rules and Info and Help pages on the FBUK website have been updated for 2024 with details of how each league works. There are also Forums on the FBUK website which is where you can contribute to the conversation on how the game is run, ask technical questions and chat with other managers.
Important reminder for Fantrax users
For managers participating in the FBUK Classic or $5m Game salary cap leagues run via the Fantrax platform:
This has been noted in various places but a final reminder before the season starts to please take a moment to read this important explainer on the FBUK website to avoid using Fantrax’s Player Picker tool, so as to prevent the points glitches suffered last season.
Newsletter
Finally, if you don’t already, you might consider subscribing to our main mailing list which is the primary method of getting news and updates out to FBUK members through the year (besides the website itself).
Thanks for playing and good luck for the season!
