Hi all

It's that time of year again and now both TFF and FPL have been launched I thought I'd start up this thread for people to show interest in playing this season.
The rules are pretty simple so please have a read and then post below if you would like to play.

Once I've set up the leagues I will start sending out the codes.

For my spreadsheet to work I need to know your team names in each league so once you join PLEASE POST YOUR TEAM NAMES ON THIS THREAD.

Due to the T&Cs on the TFF site this is only open to residents of the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Northern Ireland (unless you can find a way around it).
Rules
(1) You will enter a team into both competitions and then join the respective leagues set up by me. I will need a post on this thread from each member that contains their team names.
(2) The game rules and scoring set up by TFF and FPL will apply to your respective teams throughout the season.

Entry Deadline:
Kick is 15.00 (UK time) on Saturday 13 August.

Any entries after this deadline will not be entered into the competition and removed from the league.

League Codes:
League codes will be sent to everyone interested once they are set up.

TFF League:
This will be a closed league so that it represents the typical way TFF is played. ie. You will not be able to see other players' teams like you can in FPL.

Gameplay:
Each week your teams' scores will be combined into a Superleague that I will post on FISO. Your TFF score will be factored up by 1.4 to equal out the scoring systems.
Gameweeks will be based on the FPL structure (see below).

Gameweeks:
The combined league will be posted after the final match is played and scores updated by TFF and FPL in each week.
Gameweeks will be based on the FPL GW rules - These are listed on the website.

League tables will be posted weekly

Combo Cup:
Later in the season I will set up a knock-out competition to run alongside the main Superleague - Just to keep your interest up!!!

Cash League:
Spencer4 is going to organise a cash league to run alongside the main game. It's £10 entry and he will set up separate thread soon.
No extra teams or effort is needed... Just your extra side bet.


Cheers and good luck for the coming season.

Many thanks for taking this on board Surprised.

As for team names:

FPL - AstonTinCanDribblers

TFF - Sylvia's Saints

Cheers.

Yeah, really appreciate it Surprised... this was my favourite competition last year and really pleased to see it back again.

My team names are:
TFF - The Combo Hogs
FPL - Who Let the Hogs Out

BTW I'll also be lobbing my £10 into the pot as soon as the side cash league is announced.

My team names:-

FPL = Barn Door Hitters.
TFF = Taykai Utd

Cheers for taking over Surprised, hope the gameweek structure follows FPL as I believe from your posts elsewhere (unclear from the above quoted), as that makes far more sense.

I'll be in - FPL team name "Naked Punching", TFF name tbc.

I'm most certainly in!

FPL - Judean Peoples Front
TFF - tbc

FPL GW's
I pasted the rules in from last year and forgot to take out the TFF reference.
I hope Dixie doesn't mind the change but as FPL has subs and bonus points it makes sense that it is based on that. It makes no difference at the end anyway.

I see no mention of the 1.4 pt weighting. An oversight?

Gameweeks will be based on the TFF structure (see below).

Blind as a bat me. I'll be in again and will run the cash league if that's ok.

I'm in.

Good luck all

No problem with changing the rules... Basing gameweeks on TFF was a legacy of The Telegraph only updating once a week when I first set this up...

When I get the time I'll stick my teams in.

Good luck all and thanks again for taking this over for me.

Shameless bump.
Just over 2 weeks left so sign up
Plenty from last year who have yet to join.

Wonder if a little shameless plug in the TFF and FPL forums might help? I think Dixie used to do so. Might be that some people have forgotten about this, since we're off in our own little area here.

Yep... I used to shamelessly plug it in both forums... just in case.

Good tip
I will do that.
