This thread is intended as a general interest/team news/recruitment thread so last years main thread doesn't get too much action and some semblence of order can be maintained

Threads that will no doubt follow are probably:-
1. Official Game thread.
2. Captains final declaration thread.

Please use THIS thread, for now anyway, to

a. Declare Teams intending to take part - or not if a Team is disbanding.

b. Post notices of any spare places you wish to fill.

c. Announce your wish to be part of a team if you're a noob or an existing player whose team is not being reformed.

This is so we can get an idea of numbers etc. Ideally we get 36 teams as last year - and 36 is the maximum.

Captains (or their subs) can you confirm that you will be reforming/disbanding your teams so we know how many new teams can be formed etc. (There will, as mentioned, be a Captain's declaration thread to list your teams details/members later on - that is so it's easier for me to collate the info without having to trawl for it).

... or any other queries.

Cheers

Time is short so ...






ps. To anyone not familiar with how the H2H works, , have a look at last years thread
2010/11 5AS H2H thread

and also the 5AS rules on team formation to which the H2H is an affiliate (think the FA and FIFA sort of thing)
FISO Five-A-Side Association Rules

I can hereby announce that The Dudes are here and present..............

We have a full team.

We are likely to be changing out name though...... Watch this space.

Intending to reform - maybe spaces maybe not - will know soon....

I've come to the conclusion I'm going to stick with FPL this season so I'm available for a team should anyone want me.

Noob available for a team here - would love to be involved in 5AS this year

Only played one year - finished just outside the top 12K

Well done RomynPG for getting the 5AS off the ground so soon after the later than usual launch of FPL's 2011-12 game - it comes as a relief to many of us to see that you're taking the reins again,after initial concern we might not have a 5AS game this season

The Red Arrows will most certainly be returning with our aerial displays which so thrilled the crowds again last season

We have no vacancies this season; 4 of the team are already back in full training,with the 5th competing in the Copa America Cup Final,so he'll be late arriving back.

Apologies for announcing Tiger Woods/Steve Williams-esque, but after many fruitful years with the Zombies including a Championship title, I will be pulling out of the Zombies this year as I'll be giving FPL a miss this season.

I wish my bloody companions a hugely succesful 2011/12 and I'm sure they will recruit a suitable blood-thirsty replacement who can adopt my role of 'anchor man'. It's with a heavy heart I have to post this but stay dead Zombie friends

The Terminators will be back.
We have 3 confirmed returnees and just waiting on the other 2.

The Stokies will return ....

Just sent PM's out for the team line up

Good luck in your Solo carrer The Ledge - you will always have the star on your badge.

Looks like the Zombies could be recruiting!

Phantomscythe will no doubt be drawing up a shortlist.....

You may want to consider a season long loan for someone as I'm reducing my FF this year with the hope that I may be back in full swing next season

The Vipers will be back for a second season. 4 of 5 have signed their contracts with one holding out for more more cash and bonus opportunities.

Panda's will be playing this year to defend our title - No spaces available

I like the idea of 5 -a side.
only played 1 year , just about 17,000 which first go im happy with. So newbie available if required ??

i'm poor at FPL but would like to join a team anyway if there are spaces !

I'm looking to join another team this year. I'ver played FPL for 2 years, improving from 500,000 to 27,000. Looking to improve again.

Let me know if anyone has a spot to fill

That's a hard sell

Look at his location, the first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Well done.

The Killer Bees will be looking forward to retaining their title from those Fat Pandas this season.
I think we have one spot available, so we'll be taking applications from dedicated managers only.

oh ok - i have won quite a few prizes in other games over the years - some on here will be aware (times and tff) just never paid too much attention to fpl until this year when, as a member of a motivated team, i will come out all guns blazing !!!

is that bettter??

Pretty sure there will be a return of 'The legomen' once this years team is decided:

The Pom
Suzykins
Razorback

Are confirmed for the Stokies

Good on you Matty B (only snag is that some FPLers won't have heard of the Times or TFF )

Let's hope so, the rest of us are in so that's a great start. Nice and keen too, our 'slowest' member came in at 1483.

I'm wondering if The Ledge's "year off" comment is just a thinly-veiled attempt to better his contract. What would it take to convince you to change your mind...?

Gutted. Sorry you won't be with us this season. You can leave with your head held high with a champions medal round your neck . We shall masacre all those in our path in your name, and hopefully we'll see you back in FPL-land someday soon!

The Zombies will indeed be back in action after a return to good form last season. I'll get started on recruiting a new Zombie next week .

Thanks for getting this up and running again Romyn, always appreciated!

I'm available to join a team, having had my first proper go at FPL (with the aid of FISO) last year.

After a slow start (and steep learning curve), I finished on 2,070 points, 24,219th place... hoping (of course) to do better this year. Ended up winning my works league (just). Finished 163rd in the FISO Forum and 6th in the FISO Virgins. And I actually won some money - came second in the FISO TFF/FPL Combo... but that was entirely due to my TFF team, not the FPL one.

Any offers?

I'm up for taking part again this year!

I was a Campeoe last season, but I am not too sure they are reforming...

So please, if you fancy a steady FPL player in your team...then I'm your man!

I have newly registered with FPL, (new email address) so appear to of lost all my playing history

The Cheeky Monkeys shall be returning this season.

I will be captain again, and I'm just waiting for confirmations for the final team lineup.

This year will we be getting serious.

The moderators' captain may need replacing for this season

I've only ever played for the blood-soaked shirt DrB, I'm needing a year off to spend more time with the family - you know how it is I'll be following your results throughout the season though - good luck
