This is the most popular game on FISO and is run by GFM. Cost is £6 per team,
or 3 for £15.
Picking your team
You have a budget of £50 million to select your 11 players. You have a choice
of starting with a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, but you don't have to stick with that
formation, as you can swap it around when using those important 30 transfers.
There is no limit to players per club, so if you want to pick the entire Wigan
team no problem. All transfers need to be made before the 1st KO of the days EPL
matches. If you enter a team today, you can swap and change during a Transfer
Amnesty. The amnesty finishes 23.59 on 17th August. After the amnesty you will
be unable to do any transfers until Wednesday 30th August, and will require the
password which is supplied in the Wednesday edition of The Daily Telegraph.
This season there have been 2 changes to the scoring. No longer does your
players lose any points if they are substituted. Any player that starts a match
scores 2pts whether they finish the match or not, unless they are a defender or
Goalkeeper that have conceded during their time on the pitch. The only other
change in the scoring is for Man of the Match. Last season the motm scored 5pts
but now only 3pts for the motm.

The game is run by GFM as well. Cost is £10 per team, or 3 for £25
This game has changed from last season. Last Season had the involvement of all
competitions that EPL clubs are involved in. This season it's the same comps as
TFF "EPL & FA Cup".
With this game you need to select an 18 man squad (2 Goalkeepers, 3 Full Backs,
3 Centre Backs, 6 Midfielders, and 4 Strikers) with the end result of having a
4-4-2 formation only.
There are a few other differences with this game compared to the Newspaper game.
1. 15 Transfers for the Season. You start off with 12, and then get credited
another 3 late December early January. You can also do transfers between blocks
of fixtures in any given EPL Fixture day .. eg: on most Saturdays there are 3
blocks 12:45, 15:00 and 17:15. with these blocks you can make either transfers,
change your starman option and make sure you get to use your 18 man squad in as
many matches as possible. When it comes to blocks of fixtures there must be at
least 2hrs between the 1st KO and the next KO.
2. Each set of EPL Fixtures you can select a "STARMAN" this player
scores double points for your team, whether it's a + or -.
3: You can use a supersub option where you can set up your team up 7 days in
advance, allowing you to have a weekend break
4: Transfers you can do at any given time unlike TFF and you don't need to wait
until 30th August to start using them. Doing a transfer will disable a supersub
selection. You would need to reset supersubs up after making a transfer. You
don't need a password either. The transfer amnesty is the same as TFF (before
midnight on 17th August)
5: There are a few scoring differences + there is no Man of the Match in this
game.
Scoring
All Players:
+ 5 points : For every goal scored by any of your players (not including penalty
shoot-outs).
+ 3 points : For any *'key contribution' to a goal from any of your players

+ 1 point : For every substitute appearance of one of your players
- 5 points : For every sending off of one of your players
- 2 points : For every one of your players receiving a booking

the final whistle).
- 2 points : For every penalty kick taken (not including penalty shoot-outs) but
not scored by one of your players (i.e. if your player takes a penalty kick and
does not score directly from it)
Goalkeepers/Defenders:
+ 4 points: For every penalty save (not including penalty shoot-outs) by your
goalkeeper (a part of the goalkeeper's body must have touched the ball for

You have 3 options to go with when registering for this FF game.
£10 for a standard entry (Friday Team News, and No Live Scoring)
£15 for Silver (Extras include: Tuesday Team Report, Thursday Insider Report,
Friday Team News Email, Access to WAP/XHTML site, Live Points Update +
Over £5,000 in Extra Prizes
£20 Gold (Tuesday Team Report, Thursday Insider Report, Friday Team News Email,
Access to WAP/XHTML site, Live Points Update, Personalised SMS Update (Sat) +
Over £10,000 in Extra Prizes)
Managers purchasing Gold or Silver teams will also see their points updating
live as the goals go in (though allow for changes, as all are provisional until
Monday), whereas Standard teams will have to wait until the following morning
(or Monday in the case of weekend matches).
With the entries you select a squad of 16 players with a budget of £75million.
You can only select 2 players allowed from each EPL team. The only time this can
be different is if you select a player from 1 team and then gets transferred to
another .. eg: if your were to select a team today and you added Ashley Cole of
Arsenal, then next week he joins Chelsea, but you already have 2 Chelsea
players, you won't need to transfer him out. If you later do transfer Cole out,
but want to bring him back you won't be able to until you sell 1 of your other
Chelsea players.
There is no Rule that you have to select a set number of players in any one
position, you can select 5 Goalkeepers if you wish, though that's not advisable.
At the end of the day you need to be able to select a squad that allows you to
select one of (4-4-2, 5-3-2, 5-4-1, 4-5-1) formations.
This FF game has made a big change this season compared to previous seasons:
Prize Leagues increased in size from 10 to 20. Rather than medal mats, the top
two in each Prize League at the end of the season will now win boxed gold and
silver medals.
Provisional cut-off for qualification for European competitions is set as 13th
November - top four teams go into Champions League, 5th to 8th go into UEFA Cup
and 9th to 12th qualify for the Intertoto Cup.
The bottom eight teams are entered into separate competitions (13th-16th =
Safety, 17th-20th = Relegation) with a different structure than the above
European competitions. From a given point in time, all teams start from zero
points in a separate league table, with the top 100 as of after Monday 8th May
qualifying for the final day "sprint", from which the top 20 scoring
teams on the final day of the season will win prizes.
Manager of the Month prizes stagger depending on the package purchased
(Gold, Silver or Standard) by the winning teams.
1st: Gold = £600, Silver = £400, Standard = £200
2nd: Gold = £300, Silver = £200, Standard = £100
3rd: Gold = £150, Silver = £100, Standard = £50
Therefore, if the top three managers in a given month consist of a Gold team in
first, a Standard team in second, and a Silver team in third, then the Manager
of the Month will be given £600, and the managers in both second and third
would each receive £100, as per the above table.
Scoring
Each Scoring week starts on a Tuesday and finishes on a Monday.
All Players
Goal : 3 points.
Assist : 2 points.
Goalkeepers and Defenders Only:
Appearance : 1 point (Minimum 45 mins played)
Clean sheet (no goals conceded) : 3 points (Minimum 75 mins played, includes
appearance point)
Goal Conceded : -1 point

This game is the Scottish version of The Mirror game, with the majority of
players coming from the SPL, but they also have selected players from the EPL.
You can add 10 teams in anyone transaction, which would be buy 10 for price of
8, or just buy 5 for the price of 4 as advertised on the home page. Each team
cost £5 without transfers, and an extra £3 for your transfers. You do have to
pay £3 for your transfers for the Free Team, so if you enter 5 teams and pay
for Transfers it will cost £35.
The differences are:
1. They have a Warm up League which starts on Saturday 29th July, this
runs until the EPL starts when all teams revert back to 0pts. There is the goal
of winning £2,500 for the warm up league, but remember that if you enter that
team now, the team cannot have any changes until the 1st transfer Window
(Transfer Window 1: 27th August - 9th September)
2. With the Mirror you can change as many as you like on a transfer
window, but with the Daily Record you can only change 3 players maximum, so if
you don't use them you lose them.

3 per Window. There is no AMNESTY on this game
