Question 1

What is the $15 NFL team challenge?

Accepted Answer

A budget roster game: real NFL players are priced $1–$5 by how elite they were, you get $15 to hire six — QB, RB, WR, TE, a front-seven defender and a defensive back — and a deterministic simulator plays their 20-game season.

Question 2

Is Gridiron GM free?

Accepted Answer

Completely free, no account, no download — it runs in your browser on phone or desktop.

Question 3

How are player prices set?

Accepted Answer

By position-relative eliteness across 5,000+ real careers: only the top ~3% at each position cost $5, and the price tiers step down from there. A $2 tag on a great season is the bargain you’re hunting for.

Question 4

Can every day be won 20-0?

Accepted Answer

No — and that’s deliberate. The market changes daily, and only about a third of days contain a perfect $15 line. On the others, the best GMs fight over 18 and 19 wins.

Question 5

Can I challenge friends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Share your result link and friends shop the exact same market you did — the better allocation of the same $15 wins.
