New Fantasy Football Season? (Thats real football, AKA Soccer)

[rong]

Anyone up for another fantasy football league? Last years started well until some of us fell so far behind that we lost interest. Maybe this time have more places paid out to maintain interest? I dunno, open to ideas.

[UnbelievableJeff]

yes, yes and yes.

I want to but don't know if I have the time really. This stuff always either gets forgotten about or I get so into it that I check it regularly at the expense of other things I should be doing instead.

They've introduced some new rules:

1. Saved transfers carry over multiple Gameweeks
If you don't use your free transfer then it will carry over to the next Gameweek. If you don't use the saved transfer in the next Gameweek then it will be carried over until you do.



2. An extra wildcard for the January transfer window
January and February can be a testing time for Fantasy Premier League managers with the transfer window open and the potential of fixture changes.
To help ease the pain of we're introducing a second wildcard which can only be used between Gameweeks 23 and 27. This extra wildcard will be available straight after the start of Gameweek 22 (4 Jan 19:30) up to the Gameweek 27 deadline (12 Feb 11:30). The current wildcard can still be played at anytime.



3. Lose 2 points for an own goal
A player scoring an own goal will now lose 2 points.


The first 2 new rules might help people who have fallen behind a bit/forgotten to update for a couple of weeks to catch up.

Come on guys, we need more people than this!

I like the first two new rules.

Never looked at the different league options, the head to head could be quite interesting

Classic leagues

In a classic league your overall score is ranked against all other players in the league.

Head to Head leagues

In a head to head league you play a game each gameweek against another team in the league. Your score versus your opponent's score. 3 points for a win and 1 points for a draw.

I'm out I'm afraid. Too much other stuff going on.

[rong]

hmmm, I've already spent far too much of my work day playing around with my team.

Bump

Come on guys, only 4 so far, surely we can get 4 more, 8 is enough for a mini league.
