In the follow up to the league introduction article, we introduce the remaining eight rookie GMs in the new Intercontinental Fantasy League.
With the final stages of the start up auction wrapping up we will soon be asking all IFL GMs to rate the Intercontinental rosters to help inform the rookie draft order.

I am from Dublin, Ireland. Packers fan. I own one dog, one cat and ten hamsters. Regularly accused of been asleep at the wheel and yes, I did win an award for rostering a dead guy for over a week but don’t be fooled, I am an active savvy IDP expert who digs deep to find those hidden gems. Fair trader. All round good guy.
Single w/ no children 28 years of age and unfortunately was born in Cincinnati, OH meaning being a Bengals fan wasn’t exactly my choice. Was a US Marine for 4 years before taking a job with American Airlines to follow my dreams of seeing all 30 baseball stadiums (16 completed) by 30 + follow my beloved Bengals around the country. I truly believe no woman could ever break my heart like the Bengals have over the past 28 years & ive experienced way too much of it in person bc my job. I have been playing fantasy football since the age of 13 but recently just was introduced to auction an fell in love. Many of my friends aren’t into the advanced styles like this so i went searching online for crazy folks like me. Football has always been my escape from reality & traveling + fantasy only kept it going. With the Bengals looking more like the Bungles & bringing Marvin “.500” Lewis back for another year I really only have my fantasy teams to get interested in.
Diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan from Toronto, Canada. I’m married with two kids, a big fan of all of the major sports and have been playing fantasy sports for nearly 20 years. I know a few of you from the fantasy basketball league and am looking forward to getting acquainted with the other owners. I’m an extremely active owner who’s always looking to make trades so get in touch after free agency if you see a move that would make sense. As for free agency, this should be interesting. I’m heading over to Russia for the World Cup so I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to bid on players. If that’s the case my 1st rounder next year should be extremely valuable – send offers my way!
I’m Shayne and I live Irvine California. I grew up in Southern California and have lived here my whole life so far. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton in Kinesiology and work at a workers Compensation firm. My favourite sport is basketball and I’m a Suns fan thanks to Steve Nash. I am a Rams fan have been even when they were in St. Louis. Can’t wait to get this season started been trying to get into the IFL but haven’t had any luck so hopefully I can show what I got in this league and dominate all you guys.
I’m Joe, 40, married and with 2 kids. Born and live in London, UK. Got into the NFL when it came onto our screens in the mid-80s when I was young (first Super Bowl I can remember was the Bears beating Pats) and have loved it ever since, though in those days we only had the weekly highlights and without the internet had to wait until the following week to find out results! Picked the Steelers for some reason back then (can’t remember why) and have stuck with the since. Not really into other US sports, though I like going to watch if I’m in the US with work or on holiday, though I do follow the Penguins given my Pittsburgh allegiance. I started playing fantasy football about 7 years ago when I met a fellow Steelers fan at an NFL event in London and he invited me to join a league. Was all v new then, especially given league was full IDP and dynasty, but I was hooked fairly quickly. All the other players are based in the UK, which is great for drafts etc. as means we can do in person. I joined my second league earlier this year and this will be my 3rd- I’ve never done an auction league before (as I took over orphans in both my other leagues), nor have I done a contract league but am looking forward to the new challenge. Seems like a great group of people.
Hi everyone, I’m Matt from Ottawa Canada. Nice to see some other Canadians in the league. I’m big a football fan for as long as I can remember Go 49ers, single, no kids that I’m aware of. Been playing fantasy football for 6 years now never anything on this big of a scale so very excited to play with everyone, Always open to talking trade and hope this league lasts a long time
I live in Lexington Kentucky (originally from Louisville). Just got out of the Thoroughbred Industry after 30 years to run my wife’s small animal clinic which gives me more time for fantasy sports. I’ve been playing fantasy football about 25 years and got into my first deep fantasy football dynasty league about 12/13 years ago. This is my first auction league (actually tried one a few years ago and half the teams used up all their cap space on a handful of the top players and commish shut league down). Have a son 13 (archery is his sport) and 11-year-old daughter (volleyball is her thing) and being married to a veterinarian plenty of cats. My teams are the Bengals, Yankees, Reds, Penguins, Celtics and all Kentucky Wildcat teams. With more time for activities have started running half marathons and tough mudders (just dislocated my shoulder last weekend in a tough mudder). Other than that, I transport kids daily and try to keep wife happy at home and work.
Hey All – I’m Matthew Falkow. Philadelphia product born and raised. Married with 3 kids. On a life path with Matt Pepe from Montreal Machine. He got me into my first IDP league a couple years back and I was instantly hooked. Happy to be part of the league and love how Mark and the crew operate. I’m in the IBL Basketball league and know this start-up will be fantastic. I’m an avid trader of future draft picks and horrible manager of cap space. Hit me up for some blockbuster moves!
