Hooray it's back. This year the game will start on the Thursday prior to the weekend of 28th August. So if you could get teams to me by then it would be great (including a team name). I should be at training some weeks, or if not email me on stephen.shaw@aviva.co.uk, or txt 07962 455 113.

Rules this year:
4-4-2 only
£52m budget
2 players per club

Entry costs £15 across the year (3 x £5 instalments). To try and encourage more transfers I propose to try the exciting new system of £1 for 1, £2 for 3, £3 for 5 and £4 for 10. Transfers are free prior to 26th August so you can mess with your team right up to the deadline even once submitted.

Last year we paid out £300 in prizes and raised vital funds for the club, so it would be great to have as many teams as possible. Feel free to ask friends and family to join in, and it would be great to see more reserves included too. I will try and post regular updates on here as well as bringing some along to matchdays.

Player list is attached, or go to http://fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk/ and there is a fancy team select thing (orange box). I'll try and get some lists to training too.

Cheers

what happens if a player transfers to a club and takes your club player limit to above 3?????

That is fine and you can have 3. So I think last year Lescott went to Man City giving a lot of people 3 Man City players which is OK - you just can't then replace him with a new Man City player if you get rid (if that makes any sense?).

Essentially if you get to 3 from a club via transfers then fine - you just can't do it deliberately.

Just a reminder that I need your FF teams this week.

Looking forward to seeing all those Harts, Drogbas and Bales.

Cheers

Steve, Rixy and Rafa have put teams in although Rafa didn't read the rules as he's got 3 City and 3 Chelsea players in! I'll ask him to modify on Saturday!

Sheets handed out to teh rest of the first team so hopefully should have a few more for Saturday.

Cool - cheers Tim.

I'll delay the start a week to collect the stragglers. Presumably Beany will hand his in late November

Colin, if you can talk any of the reserves into playing it would be great!

Cheers
Steve
