Can't wait to see that first long list of the season :D

Just joined, c'mon the Paintbrush Blades :)

One question... do you get points for assists from a throw-in (e.g. Mr Delap) ?

Quite funny to see Tongey valued at £4.5m on there... :hihi: must be really good at keeping the Stoke bench warm!

TeamChez gonna smash it!

I'm in:heyhey:

Scoring
During the season, the fantasy football players will be allocated a point score after each game, based on their performances in the matches. Only official Barclays Premier League games are included.

The Points will be calculated using data provided to us by the Press Association. Neither we nor the Press Association will enter into any correspondence relating to the allocation of points to players. We accept no responsibility for the accuracy of this data.

Action Points
For playing in a game 1
For playing at least 60 minutes in a game (includes playing points mentioned above) 2
For each goal scored by your goalkeeper or defenders 6
For each goal scored by your midfielders 5
For each goal scored by your forwards 4
For each goal assist 3
For your goalkeeper / defender conceding 0 goals (must also play at least 60 minutes) 4
For your midfielder conceding 0 goals (must also play at least 60 minutes) 1
For every 3 shot saves made by your goalkeeper 1
For every penalty save 5
For every penalty miss -2
Bonus points for the best players in a match 1-3
For every 2 goals conceded by your goalkeeper or defenders -1
For every yellow card -1
For every red card (includes any yellow card points) -3

If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.

Assists
These are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team who makes the last pass before a goal is scored.

If during this pass, an opposing player significantly alters the speed or direction of the ball, then no assist is given except if this intervention directly results in an own goal.

If a goalkeeper does not have control of the ball and parries a shot or drops a cross or the ball rebounds off the woodwork, the attacking player shooting or crossing the ball receives the assist if a goal directly ensues.

In the event of a penalty, the player earning the penalty gets an assist if it is successfully scored, but not if he takes it himself in which case no assist is given. No assist is given for a player who earns a free kick that subsequently results in a goal.

All assists are reviewed within 24 hours of the game finishing.

Bonus points
The three best performing players in each match will receive additional bonus points. Three points will be awarded to the best player, two to the second best and a single point to the third.

Player performance is assessed by Press Association analysts, all of whom are ex-professional footballers, who attend each match. This assessment takes into account the quality of a player's overall performance and their contribution to the match result.

Bonus points are awarded within 1 hour of the last match of the day finishing.

assists there says 'the last pass' - so would a throw from Delap to Beattie and GOAL! count? Not that i've picked them both or anything... :)

Im 99% certain a throw from Delap would count as an assist if it went in one touch after he threw it.

Joined it Corks, shame you can't have more control over formations though.

Yeah Mick mate im just waiting for it to update then it will be on, the Championship one is a lot harder than the Premier League one because the player's are not so familiar.
Cheers for joining for another year mate and thanx to everyone else who has jumped in also :thumbsup:

Im 99% certain a throw from Delap would count as an assist if it went in one touch after he threw it.

thats good ,ive got him in my midfield:hihi:

I won this at work a few years back, but last year I'd picked a team in July, then forgot all about it until after the first weekend, and i'd got half a team of crocks! I had to use the wildcard and bin half the squad in week two! I think Mark Hughes has that option at City :hihi:

Casper's in! :cool:

ive done my team ,but not read through the details ,like can we change players at certain times ?

You can select up to 3 players from any one team. If a player is transferred during the season and this transfer takes you over this limit, then you will need to go back under the limit when making your next transfers.

Formations
From your 15 player-squad you select 11 players to form your team each Gameweek. Only starting or automatically substituted players will earn points for your team.

Your team can play in any formation providing one goalkeeper and at least three defenders and one forward are selected.

To change your formation simply select your chosen eleven players on the My Team page. The computer will automatically chose your formation based on the players you have selected.

Players can only play in their designated position. For example, you can't play a defender as an attacker.

Any changes you make to your team will become active at the next deadline.

Captains
You must nominate a member of your team to be captain. This player will score double the number of points he would usually have been awarded that Gameweek.

If your captain does not play then he will be automatically substituted in accordance with the rules at the end of the gameweek. A new captain, either the player with the highest form or price value at the start of the gameweek, will then be selected based on your emergency captain strategy.

You can change your captain and emergency strategy at the bottom of the My Team page. Any changes you make will become active at the next deadline.

Automatic substitutions
If your goalkeeper plays no part in the Gameweek, then the computer will substitute him for your replacement goalkeeper, if he played in the Gameweek.

If any of your outfield players play no part in the Gameweek, then the computer will try to substitute the inactive player for one of your replacements. This is done by replacing him with your highest priority substitute who actually played in the Gameweek and doesn't break the formation rules.

Automatic substitutions are applied at the end of the Gameweek, when all matches have been played.

You can change your substitution priorities at the bottom of the My Team page. Any changes you make to your substitution priorities will become active at the next deadline.

Transfers
After selecting your squad you can still deal in the transfer market. Unlimited squad transfers can be made, 1 transfer can be made between each gameweek deadline without charge. Each additional transfer made in the same gameweek will deduct 4 points from your total at the next deadline.

If you don't use your free transfer then you'll be able to make an additional free transfer the following gameweek. These saved transfers don't accumulate and can only be used the following gameweek.

All transfers before the start of the season are made at no cost. For teams entering after the start of the season, no points will be deducted before their first deadline.

You can play 1 transfer wild card a season. All transfers made in the Gameweek your wild card is played will be without points deduction. You play your wild card when confirming transfers.

Any transfers you make will become active at the next deadline.

cheers mate -thats cleared that up ,i think :hihi::hihi:

i`ll have a proper read tomorrow

I'm selecting my team, how do you swap players that you've chosen?:confused:

I've tried clicking everything, because I've picked one too many Man U players, but nowt lets me change it! :mad:

not be long now mate till we kick off

Not until the first day of the season then all the time after.

I haven't kept up with football as much in recent years. I'm not sure how good my team is. I've basically picked some top scorers, a couple of good mid's and keeper, then filled in the rest with cheap players. :hihi:

Not sure my quick fire strategy will work, but something to make MOTD more interesting, so looking forward to it :)

The key to this people is to learn how to transfer your players if there injured be it a red mark under there name or a yellow one if there doubtfull to play.
You really do need to keep an eye on your side or you will see yourself well out of contention pretty early on.
A good tip is to know that you always have a free transfer a week, the league doesnt point it out but you can replace one player each gameweek and not get any points took off.

i was wondering about transfers ,as it dont give any info on that

thats all the rules

i was wondering about transfers ,as it dont give any info on that

Make sure you all check your teams at least the friday before the season starts as one of your players may be injured and you will be able to replace them without losing any points like you would if the season had started.
You get 1 free transfer a week so don't forget to use it, they come in very handy.:)

27 people in now!

I can't believe I am first - did I say that again sorry I know it will just go down hill from here so must make most of it coz I picked my team by fluke not really into premier league footy so i just went who he looks nice i'll have him oh and he sounds nice I'll have him :hihi:

Just realsied I am also joint top with Team Chez

oops, wrong fantasy thread:hihi: seeing van der sar should of been the giveaway then :hihi:

doh!!!! lol

when is the website updated with saturdays results?

Well I saw my points for Saturday last night and was updated for Sundays today :)

Had a problem logging in though Armchair dog, coz there were too many people on it. So you may have keep trying if it wont let you log on straight away

Finally got on and made my free transfer for the week (only six matches midweek, so worth swapping some players around) - i'd have been joint top if Howard hadn't let six in...! Who'd have thought over half my points would come from the mighty Stoke...

oh dear :(

me (Team Chez), thee and Betty's Hot Pots setting the pace! fear not, ill not be top long!

i hadnt entered one in this comp for some reason so im starting from week 2, i thought we were using the citizen sports fantasy prem league....bugger

My squad has been ravaged by injury and I can't remember my password to log in and change things so I had the full back playing up front and the tea boy playing in goal..... but they're a smashing set of lads and I can't fault them for their work rate.. :P

So go on then. How many of the early leaders forgot that 8 teams didn't play in Game Week 2. An early lead with a squad full of Arsenal and Man City must be hurting this week. I spoted one team that only has 4 players in action this GW.

Bent is proving to be a bargain buy.
