yep, a reflection of the seriousness with which people play this game and the level of competition....you would really need to pick the perfect team to come back from there.
You can easily catch up one team 60 points ahead. In these divisions you have to catch up (up to) 20,000 teams by (up to) 60 points.

You might do great and catch 19,995 of them but there will be some doing nearly as great as you and youll be without a 60pt head start.....

Go and ask in your local library. :lol:

Failing that, work it out from Murf's 'pick me a team for January' thread or wait for the nice IT guys at TFF to tell you tomorrow.

Will be looking for a job very soon, and was going to use laziness as a weakness, but turning it into a strength, as I have 40-odd years experience of getting people to do things for me. I even had my little brother turning my bedroom light out for me when I was a kid 8-)

I've been using a spreadsheet to plot my teams movements for the last six weeks or so.

Checked it tonight and Christmas has not been good to me at all. :evil:

A lot of teams hovering near the top of leagues have been promoted to the bottom of the next league. :twisted:

I'm guessing that division 10 will have many well balanced teams entered at week 6 or 7.
Same for the lower reaches of division 9.

Most of the other leagues will have block defences that will need changing, or the managers will have already used transfers.

So, do you go Hart, Bale, Baines, Ivanovic, Kompany, Nani, VDV, Nasri, Nolan, Drogba, Carroll etc....or try to establish a lead?

Some of last season's big guns are back from injury.......Lamps, RVP etc

....or just go with a block defence that you hope will come good?

FA cup next week throws a deranger in the fire too.

it has happened.

Apparently the split has divided some teams on equal points between two divisions!
E.g Teams on 521 points can be either in Div 9 or 10

2 teams in a super league and one I'd left alone. Each one is atleast 20 points off the lead :roll:

What do you win £500?

That is the split for tie-breaks for prizes. No idea if it applies here and can't personally check. The rules do say they will split into equal sized leagues so they did need to split tied teams to accurately do that. (Again not checked if they have split them accurately).

11.10 After 20 weeks of the season on Tuesday, January 4,2011, the main league will be divided into 10 equally-sized divisions based on positions in the overall league. The top 10% of teams will form Division One, the next 10% of teams will form Division Two and so on. Once established, teams will not be able to move between divisions - teams will keep their accrued score to date. At the end of the season, the team finishing at the top of each division will win £1,000.

11.13 Except for the Golden Boot Prize and the Manager of the Month Prize, in the event of a tie, preference will be given to the Manager whose team has scored the most goals during the relevant
prize period (i.e. seasonal, weekly, etc). If the result is still a tie, preference will be given to the Manager whose team has achieved the most points for key contributions during the relevant prize period (i.e. seasonal, weekly, etc), and thereafter the most clean sheets during the relevant prize period (i.e. seasonal, weekly, etc).
