Interest in a 3-sim-per-week NFL-feeling league with Higher Injuries and Cap Crunch?

Way back when, several people commented (and I agree) that a league with injuries around 200 and a significant cap crunch felt like the real NFL. Big contracts came with significant risk of cap consequences due to injuries, and injuries also tended to level the playing field more because you never knew when that guy who kept pulling rabbits out of hats with his drafting might lose his best three players for the season.

I might have interest in running such a league again. Basic parameters would be:
  • MWF gamedays with midweeks T-Th-Sat
  • Injury level = 200ish (I could probably be talked into anything between 175 and 225, depending on the preference of the owners. The other league had 200 as the injury level, but injuries are more frequent in FOF8. But they also are in the NFL.)
  • Fictional rosters, game-generated draft classes
  • Start with either 30-40ish round draft or free-for-all free agency (I could be talked into either)
  • Cap reduction = 20% (This is done by applying a tool in-game to increase lost cap room. You don't have to keep up with it. The game takes care of it for you.)
  • All BELCO bells and whistles

This isn't a sign-up thread (yet). Right now I'm just trying to see if there's interest.

I'd be interested. I can see myself wanting to smash my computer at times, but that's what keeps the blood flowing.

I would love the 200 injuries, not sure about the cap crunch part given the higher injuries, have to think on that one.

I'd be very interested. I like the injuries and cap crunch. Both aspects make it seem closer to the NFL.

i'd be very interested too -- the cap crunch factor looks very appealing to me (it's way too easy with the normal cap). the injury setting would be a challenge!

I'd be interested, I like the cap crunch, extra injuries aren't a big thing for me, but I'd still be interested.
