The Egg Cup Championship 2011/12
Welcome to another year of unique Egg Cup FF !
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Rules and guides
1. Your starting X1 is Alan Smith's XI, which is shown in rule 5 below . 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 12th August 2011 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 the 13th 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. The Smith team will be frozen at midnight Wednesday 10th August (any changes he makes after this date will not count).
3. Please enter your team in the super league 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, as will the other league chairman, the league name and password by PM to all the players.
4. Tables will be posted as and when available and at least weekly, chairman please ensure this happens but anyone can do it (usually the leaders are quick to ).
5. Post your starting team in the following way and use this as a template for any transfers you make during the competition (below is an example of how you could report your first two season transfers):-
De Gea
Luiz
Clichy example transfer Huth
Vermaelen example transfer Shawcross
Hangeland
Young
Bale
Valencia
Toure
Hernandez
Suarez
Transfers Left:- 28
Value of Team:- xx.xm
Reasons for Transfers :-
Blah Blah Blah
Note if people want to keep a record of their transfers as they go along please list these under the main template, keep the main template clean for the current transfers you are doing.
6. The egg competition is an open, friendly and fun competition. If everyone posts transfers as they should on a timely basis (same day or before 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. This year, only those that comply will be allowed to play in the leagues the following year, I will set up another league where non conformers can play and earn their right to play in the leagues proper in the future.
7. Following the start of the season manage your team in the normal way.
8. The leagues will be open so that everyone can see everyone else's teams so make sure you make your team PUBLIC when you create it.
9. Your team name must include your FISO name to help identify yourself then be creative !
10. Each league contains 12 players and there will be a 3 up, 3 down promotion and relegation at the end of the season.
11. The winner of each league wins a bespoke egg cup and most importantly inclusion with the infamous Hall of Fame here eggcup-hall-of-fame-post-thelip-t83872.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
12. 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!
13. If there is a tie for any position the winner will be decided by the Telegraph rules ie goals scored etc
14. Finally, will the players below please confirm their place, I will highlight below those that have entered the SL.
Above all, enjoy yourselves, have a bit of banter and may the best man or woman win.

Embarrasingly enough I think that Alan Smith's XI is better than any of the teams I have managed to come up with so far

Re: The Egg Cup Championship 2011/12
I have changed rule 2 to freeze Smith's team (the starting X1) 2 days earlier at midnight Wednesday 10th August 2011 (rather than midnight on Friday 12th the day before the season starts).
This should make things easier for the chairman as Saturday morning is likely to be a bit busy !

De Gea

Vermaelen
Hangeland
Young
Bale Lampard
Valencia
Toure
Hernandez Murphy
Suarez
Value: 48.2
Transfers left: 30
Reasons: Wanted to start getting the team close to what I want. Hernadez goes to bring in the enabling Murphy. Don't want Bale so out he goes for goes for Lampard. Not happy with the defence either but that will have to wait.
I've had to post early as I will be spending the next 4 days in a muddy field in Oxfordshire.

Re: The Egg Cup Championship 2011/12
This will be posted on every Egg league thread.
As we have a number of new players I thought I would re-iterate the following:-
The Smith team is now FROZEN. Any changes he makes now will not count.
You now have until Midnight Friday 12th to make at least 1 and not more than 2 changes to Smith's team. It would be helpful if you could post your changes as soon as possible so chairman have ample time to check teams after the deadline has passed.

De Gea
Luiz
Clichy
Vermaelen
Hangeland
Young
Bale
Valencia
Toure
Hernandez Carroll
Suarez Lampard
Value: 50m
Transfers left: 30
Reasons: Where to start - there is no way I can get the team whipped around with only 2 transfers! But for me Hernandez and Suarez are unlikely to feature this week. But even if they were fit I think my replacements will score more - so therefore the team is improved - changing to a 4-5-1 formation. The axe will probably need to fall sooner rather than later in other areas of the pitch.

Bale 4.4 Moses 3.0
Valencia 4.3
Toure 4.2
Hernandez 6.3 Rooney 7.0
Suarez 6.2
Value: £49.3
Transfers Remaining: 30
Reason for Transfer(s)
Rooney in as a long term replacement for Hernandez for obvious reasons.
Spurs game is postponed and I am not confident in Bale at the moment, so Wigans decent fixtures see's me bringing Moses into the mix to free up some cash to repair this broken team. We will see how he goes.
