In the UK, PAFL (Postal American Football League) is a pretty good
one.  It had high ratings in Flagship when run by the designer, Nick
Barnett, but he had problems which led to the game grinding to a halt
for a couple of years.  It's now being run by Cleopatra Computer
Games (run by the wife of a veteran player) with tech support from
Nick. The game's the same as it was; obviously the jury's still out
on the GM, but fine thus far.

We had the draft day in November, and have just finished the
preseason, on schedule.  There are 5 leagues running, places
available in PAFL3 at least, three quid a turn, fortnightly
deadlines, snailmail only.

I've also played Gameplan in the dim and distant, and that wasn't too
shabby either.  I think PAFL is the deeper game, reflecting the
player management side of the game as well as the playing of the game
itself - you can spend a couple of seasons building a team (and get
very attached to your players in the process).  Gameplan focused much
more on match strategy - hence the name, I suppose.

If you want any more details, let me know.
