Ashers is CHAIRMAN


Rules and Guidance 2013/14

Welcome to the 10th year of unique free to play Egg Cup FF, the winner of each league wins a bespoke egg cup and most importantly inclusion in the Hall of Fame located here eggcup-hall-of-fame-post-thelip-t83872.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

1. Your starting X1 is as follows:-

4-3-3
W. Szczesny 3.5
L. Baines 4.7
C. Azpilicueta 3.8
L. Shaw 3.1
P. Evra 4.9
P. Coutinho 4.2
J. Navas 4.4
K. Mirallas 4.2
Michu 5.8
R. Lukaku 5.4
C. Benteke 6.0
Total = £50m

2. You must then make at least 1 and no more than 2 changes to this team by midnight on Thursday 15th August to allow me and the other league chairman enough time to check that all teams are in order for the start of the season on Saturday 17th August. Invalid teams may have to be excluded or a transfer penalty imposed (making an enforced transfer) so please pay special care to getting your team correct, it is after all very easy.

3. Each league chairman will PM the Super League log in details, once received please enter your team in the SL as soon as possible so we can fill each egg box, you do not need to have made your changes at this stage. Your team name must include your FISO name to help identify yourself to others (and to me for the cup competition) other than that be creative! and you must set your team to PUBLIC VIEW and post your transfers ideally using the template below:-

Player 1
Player 2
Player 3 example transfer Huth
Player 4 example transfer Shawcross
Player 5
Player 6
Player 7
Player 8
Player 9
Player 10
Player 11

Transfers Left:- 28
Value of Team:- xx.xm

Reasons for Transfers :-
Blah Blah Blah

4. The egg competition is intended as a free to play open, friendly and fun competition. If everyone posts transfers as they should on a timely basis (same day or at the very least before the next scheduled kick off) then there will be no problems, everything will run smoothly. If you feel it will not be possible to do this then please think about whether this competition is for you as it is very frustrating for others who do comply to see others not. Only those that comply will be allowed to play in the leagues the following year.

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

6. Each league contains 12 players and there will be a 3 up, 3 down promotion and relegation at the end of the season. If anyone withdraws during the season only 2 will be relegated from that Division, if anyone decides not to play in the next season an additional promotion place will arise from the next league down. The last league will always have no limits to entries.

7. There will be a cup competition which runs automatically alongside the league competition. I will announce the weeks for the cup competition and the draws in a separate thread so keep an eye out!

8. If there is a tie for any position the winner will be decided by the Telegraph rules ie goals scored etc, any individual prizes are for the individual, SL prizes will be shared out as per the Fiso SL.

What was happening with this HH

[happyhoppy]

Well we will need a chairman any volunteers?

[SE]

I'm in, please!

[nffc]

I would like to play please

[mad dog]

Well we will need a chairman any volunteers?

Ill nominate ashers

[happyhoppy]

I think we need to get the other leagues filled first then we will know that guys in here will definitely be playing in this league and not have to be promoted up.

There is plenty of time I'm back next Thursday so I'll start cracking the whip then.

[wiseowl65]

I would like to play please.

[jeffersdn]

[Bunners]

Could I join please...played a couple of years ago but with the £20 offer will have a few spare teams and would like one to go for this, thanks

EDIT - Just seen the hall of fame and looks like I won Div 3 back in 2008/09...how the mighty have fallen

[happyhoppy]

Opening post edited with starting team, template format also amended to avoid confusion every year!

[happyhoppy]

Currently we have 15 (don't think I've missed anyone) for this league, we will need at least 24 to create a L3.

[happyhoppy]

Following an excellent idea from sjr I have set up another Egg Super League which everyone should enter their egg team into (you team can go in 5 SLs). Then I will post the table across all leagues.

Details are:-
All Egg Leagues 2013 14

[Geoffv]

I've put a team in for first time - thank you.

[happyhoppy]

I've put a team in for first time - thank you.

I have added you to the list to play, the Super League you have entered is an extra one to consolidate all entries across all leagues into one and not the actual League 2 (this has not been set up yet as we are waiting to see if we will need a League 3 if we get >24).

[happyhoppy]

Right I am putting a deadline for new entries as August 5th. No more entries will be accepted after this date as I have to finalise this league (if we get more than 24 I will set up a L3), get a chairman and he needs to get everyone who has indicated they wish to play entered and then check entries are valid by Thurs Aug 15th. I am also away from Aug 7th to 13th.

[Mike_]

I came in the top two of this league last season - all my work for nothing

This league is the group of death - can't last season's promoted teams be moved up a league

[happyhoppy]

* I'm afraid with drop outs this happens. Each league has to be 12 apart from the bottom one which I leave open ended. There is still hope for a L3 (need 8 more) and then your promotion will have been earned.


* edit You were in the top 2 of L3 last season.

[Tadpole]

Tadpoles Spawn
3-4-3
W. Szczesny 3.5 Cech 3.9. For an extra 0.4 i can add a potential 50 season long points (barring injury)
L. Baines 4.7
C. Azpilicueta 3.8
L. Shaw 3.1
P. Evra 4.9 Nolan 4.0. Evra overpriced, rotated and new boss. Nolan regular points scorer, WHA have good start
P. Coutinho 4.2
J. Navas 4.4
K. Mirallas 4.2
Michu 5.8
R. Lukaku 5.4
C. Benteke 6.0
Total = £49.5m

Scrambled Eggs
Formation: 3-4-3
W. Szczesny 3.5
L. Baines 4.7
P. Evra 4.9 Ivanovic 4.8
L. Shaw 3.1
C. Azpilicueta 3.8 Koren 3.1
P. Coutinho 4.2

Michu 5.8
R. Lukaku 5.4
C. Benteke 6.0
Total = £49.2m

Transfers Left:- 30
Value of Team:- 49.2m

Reasons for Transfers :-
Not sure that I fancy Azpilicueta getting a regular game & prefer 3-4-3 formation

[happyhoppy]

Officially you're too late but as you've posted a team in the correct format and I'm in pre holiday mode I'll let you in. You will need SL details from Ashers.

4-3-3

W. Szczesny 3.5
L. Baines 4.7
C. Azpilicueta 3.8
L. Shaw 3.1
P. Evra 4.9
P. Coutinho 4.2
J. Navas 4.4
K. Mirallas 4.2
Michu 5.8 Bony 5.2
R. Lukaku 5.4
C. Benteke 6.0 Torres 6.4

Michu just can't repeat last year and he'll play a different role with Bony present as main striker at 0.6M cheaper.

Double week for The Chels. Hull & Villa home. Strikers out to prove themselves. Win, win I think with both Lukaku and Torres to fill their boots! Don't all copy me!!!

Have a good one, y'all!!

Is this a tiered league then? If so I'd love to join at the bottom level and work my way up to the top!
