FISO League 2011/12

Post by blueprint »

Yes folks the 2011/12 Yahoo game is now open and I have started a FISO league once more.
As in previous seasons, I will leave it open until one or two weeks after season kick off. So join in the fun before then.
Below is the link to the Yahoo game and the codes needed to join the league.

Note: this has now been changed to stop any late commers joining in and stealing the glory. You should have been here from the start.

Unfortunately,there are no prizes in this game, either for individuals or mini-leagues,only "glory",which isn't much of an attraction to most people.

I didn't discover this until I'd signed up,and gone through the process of setting up a Yahoo e-mail address,which I neither need or am ever likely to use.

I for one have never joined a FF game for the prize(s), I have more chance of winning the Euro Lotto :? The reason to join any FF game is the love of Football, to have some fun and the challenge. But hey, that's just my point of view.
I think the Yahoo game is more challenging than the FPL and although I will never be a good FF player, I enjoy the Yahoo game more.

To help newbie players get the most out of the Yahoo FF game I have done a few pointers.

Yahoo Fantasy Football tips for newbies....
Now I am not a great Fantasy Football player so I am not about to tell you who to select for your squad or anything like that. This is just a few pointers on how the game works so you get the points you should.

1:- Maybe the biggest thing that catches out those new to Yahoo FF and even some seasoned FF players is that you must 'CONFIRM' your team.
For the very first game of the season this is ultra important as if not confirmed no team will be entered so no points scored. I have found over the years that even though I have entered and confirmed a team maybe two weeks before kick off, Yahoo will still be asking you to confirm your team, so play safe and re-confirm it.

2:- once the season kicks off and you make team changes, you must once again 'CONFIRM' your new team selection. If you do not, your old team will be fielded and you may not get the points you were hoping for.

3:- Unlike many FF games like FPL or Metro for example, in YFF you do not select a team for the season but for the week.
In the other games you select a basic core team and change one or maybe two players a week to suit the fixtures or injuy. In Yahoo FF you can change the whole team each week. So you really need to check the weekly fixtures and mull over who you want for that week. Not forgetting you can have as many players from one team as you like.

4:- Although you can ship players in and out each week, you must bare in mind price changes. Just for example, you may buy L.Baines (Everton) at a cost of 18.41 and he will have a great game and his price will rise. Everton may be playing next, an on fire Man Utd so you decide to replace him with a player from Chelsea, who are playing Swansea next.
You have to bare in mind that you sell L.Baines at the price you paid for him, not his current price. To buy him back later you will have to pay the new higher price, which maybe higher still if Everton and he do well against Man Utd.

5:- The YFF scoring system is darn weird, so the more you understand it, I guess the better you will do in the game. I for one am not that fussed so just make my selections on my own gut feelings. This may explain my normal mid table standing each season. I would also guess those that finish in the top half of the league are better at working the scoring system and selecting players more tactically.

Any one have anything to add?

Congrats to Leehweb (S11), not just for being top of the league but for being the first to break the 1000 points barrier.
My form is still bad and I continue to fall down the league. Can't seem to pick a good team, no matter what I do.

Leehweb (S11) still top the table and is 600+ pts higher than the the bottom team, WOW!, that's good going.
I personally still flirt with danger in 23rd place. Can't seem to get my act together. :oops:
