PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY

Rules

1. The template for your team is Alan Hansen's XI. You can change to any of the formations available as long as you comply with Rule 2 beneath.

2. You must make at least one and no more than two changes to this team by midnight on Friday 14th August 2009. This is to allow me enough time to check that all teams are in order for the start of the season.

3. You must enter your team in the superleague as soon as possible. You do not need to have made your changes at this stage - only to have entered a team. I will distribute the league name and password by PM to all the players.

I will post the league table after any day in which games have been played with at least one weekly update.

I have entered teams in each league which consist of the cheapest available players and so, hopefully, those teams will not accrue enough points to be above last position. This does however enable me to monitor each league.

4. Post your starting team in the following manner



so that everyone can clearly see your free transfers.

5. Following the start of the season manage your team in the normal way.

6. The leagues will be open so that everyone can see everyone else's teams.

7. Your team name must include your FISO name and some reference to eggs, eggcups etc.

8. Each league contains 12 players and there will be a 3 up, 3 down promotion and relegation at the end of the season.

9. The winner of each league wins a bespoke egg cup and a cash prize to a charity of their choice.

Premiership £100
Division 1 £75
Division 2 £50
Division 3 £25

10. When you make a transfer you should post on the relevant thread giving the changes made and reasons for it. You must also use the following template:



11. There will be a cup competition which runs automatically alongside the league competition. I will announce the weeks for the cup competition when all the leagues have been finalised.

12. Further details can be found on the egg cup admin thread.

13. Above all, enjoy yourselves, have a bit of banter and may the best man or woman win.

14. This game is run by me for FISO members only. I reserve the right to remove anyone that I consider has not treated FISO or any of its members in a fashion which I consider to be appropriate. Any anti-FISO behaviour will not be tolerated. My decision is final on all matters and by joining one of the leagues then you agree to be bound by these conditions.

Pin number sent to all players via PM.

I'll be back for another go. Not got my act together yet with paying for teams yet , shouldn't be long

I'll have my team fixed up soon.

I will be playing.

I am going on holiday on Thursday and will be without internet connection, and I am quite busy at the mo so I think it will be unlikely that I will be able to enter my team until I get back on 11th at least. I hope this won't be a problem?

No probs. Just as long as I know you will be entering. Team has to be in by the 14th.

Playing and team in.

I will be playing.

I'll be in

I'm in, please

I'm in

i will set up my team within a week just waiting for works superleague to announce they will do it this year i think they could be sick of me winning it so not sure how many teams i need

I'll be playing,team in next week.

Is that my trophy in your avatar

ive not lost it officially yet

i had to pass it over by default and demand the tournament being replayed, even if it means i can hand it over after, but im sure the Kings Trophy would of headed the other way

im sure The Warwickshire were paid off to stop me playing

My team is now in but I had a debit card problem and have changed sex.

Come on lads, let's get the teams in please.

Team in, god I hate Hansen more each season.

I'll be in again.
Got a really busy week but will get my act together next weekend/early next week.

Still quite a few yet to enter. This is holding up Division 3 so if you could get your teams in soon then it would help.

im in 1 week early too

That's my team in. you can stop whining now!

COME ON EVERYONE!! We Division 3-ers are raring to go!!

Hmmm... looks like giggsy was last on FISO on June 21st...

HANSENS INITIAL XI - As designated by Thelip, this is the XI we have to work with even if Hansen changes between now and next Saturday.

Ben Foster (MU)
Rio Ferdinand (MU)
Patrice Evra (MU)
Ledley King (TH)
Paul Scharner (WA)
Steven Gerrard (LFC)
Frank Lampard (CH)
Aaron Lennon (TH)
Jack Rodwell (EV)
Fernando Torres (LFC)
Kevin Doyle (WW)

AKNel's EggCuppers

Ben Foster (MU)
Rio Ferdinand (MU)
Patrice Evra (MU)
Ledley King (TH)
Paul Scharner (WA)
Steven Gerrard (LFC)
Frank Lampard (CH)
Aaron Lennon (TH)
Jack Rodwell (EV) Danny Murphy (FUL)
Kevin Doyle (WW) James Milner (AV)
Fernando Torres (LFC)

Rodwell is an unlikely starter so has to go, Murphy will be a solid points scorer. Ditching Doyle & switching to 451 looks like being a popular and sensible option giving spare cash to facilitate the Rodwell upgrade whilst allowing me to bring in a 4 million Midfielder who should heavily outscore a 4.7 mill striker....

Ben Foster (MU)
Rio Ferdinand (MU)
Patrice Evra (MU)
Ledley King (TH)
Paul Scharner (WA)
Steven Gerrard (LFC)
Frank Lampard (CH)
Aaron Lennon (TH)
Jack Rodwell (EV) > M Taylor (BO)
Fernando Torres (LF) > M Arteta (EV)
Kevin Doyle (WW)

Value £48.2M
Transfers Left 30

o 4-5-1 switch is made
Torres not in my plans so makes way in the switch, Arteta is VFM personified. Rodwell makes way for a much more likley points scoring Taylor. both move leave £ open for week 2.....

Hi all,

I am going to do my team right now, apologies for the delay and knock on effect on the other leagues. Been so busy haven't had a chance to even look at this let alone get a team together. Doesn't bode to well for the season!!
