Welcome to the new home of the Tinpot Trophy Fantasy Football League! Ahead of the league’s planned migration to the ESPN platform, and to celebrate a decade of all things Tinpot, this website has been created to preserve and build on the legacy of the league, dating back to its inception on the NFL platform in 2016. Feel free to explore the site and reminisce on the history of the league, collated and organized for the first time in a much more accessible and user-friendly way.

The site is currently only optimised for desktop, as a dedicated mobile version would require a lot of additional coding work. If mobile is your only option, it works pretty well if your screen is landscape, as modern mobile screens are bigger anyway. This would require only minimal side-scrolling to see certain content. But where possible, please use your desktop or laptop for the best viewing experience.

So, why ESPN? The platform (both desktop and mobile) is much cleaner, faster, and easier to navigate than NFL. The mobile app especially offers a much better and more engaging experience during games and/or Redzone. Just wait to see what happens when one of your team gets a touchdown! It’s also more stable and has access to more and better data, given it’s maintained by ESPN analysts.

When the time comes, you should experiment with the mock drafts to familiarise yourselves with the platform ahead of the league’s official Season 10 draft.

In future seasons, weekly fixtures will be listed on the homepage, along with a brief write-up that will include notes on stats and rivalries in the league. The active season will be linked to in the menu, then archived to the History page when completed.

Some features coming soon are:

• A list of the week’s actual NFL fixtures, along with US broadcasting details.
• A page with links to mobile apps and games related to the NFL which might be fun for some/all of us to join in with.
• (Possibly?) A gallery showing photos the group shares on Whatsapp that are suitable/related — such as trips to NFL games, meet-ups… or cat pics!

Weekly updates to the website will likely happen on Tuesdays during the season. A message will go out to the group chat once these go live.

Finally, if there’s anything you would like to see, or anything you don’t think is correct, please let Pete Rogers know and he will make any updates/changes that are needed… or provide a reason why something can’t be added. Please bear in mind the site is maintained in his free time.
