nice and easy start to the season - do remember that there is no immunity to bonus' this week

for anyone wanting a reminder, the rules are here - but do feel free to ask any questions.

The most important part of this game is that we all play every week, if you think you're going to struggle certain weeks - LET ME KNOW!!!! I'll try my best to help you out one way or another.


Deadline for entry, as always, is midnight on Friday.

teams to be E-mailed (address on the email button below any of my posts) or PM'd to me, (will accept text and facebook entries too!!) and please post on here once you're in.

Welcome back FISODAS, goodbye Friday nights!


GAME ON!!!!!!!!!

Does the SOF in this example relate to Gyan or Rooney?

Its Rooney

I'm so F'ing excited.

(my life really is exciting, I promise - I just like FISODAS!)

Welcome back Barry - it's been too long!

Not very excited just checking my new avatar

Thanks Barry, looking forward to losing my cherry .

Works fine for me. Much rather this way than going private.

As mentioned it's Rooney as his name is repeated.

I'm OK with the (lack of) fixtures and the link rather than going private.
Welcome back FISODAS, thanks Barry

And now I am


IN

Forgot to mention, so glad this back. Thanks for giving up more of your Fridays barry.

Fixtures thing is good for me - if Barry can give up his Friday nights I can just about spend 14 seconds clicking a BBC fixture list. Close mind you.

I'm guessing, should someone wish to opt for both of the above, that would now be permitted? Or for the purpose of this game week will Bent remain attached to Sunderland?

had to check the rules myself - found this

5. If a player transfers to another club between FISODAS weeks, he will not count as playing for his new club until the subsequent week. It will therefore be possible in this case, to have more than one player from a single club, ie. The player's new club.

so this week he will count as being a Sunderland player, i.e. you can't have him & Gyan but you could have Bent & Agbonlahor.

Top FISODASing.

Does the order of the players matter when they are submitted? e.g. highest value first, etc

This is only my 2nd season, but I am 99.9% confident that you should have the players listed in order of value.

as Richt says, highest value first down to the lowest please.
