TFF / FPL Combo League 2016/17

[Mystery]

Hi all

It's that time of year again and with TFF and FPL up and running it is most certainly time to launch this year's combo league. Firstly, many thanks to Surprised for running this league the last few seasons.

The rules are pretty simple so please have a read and then post below if you would like to play.

Once I've set up the leagues I will start sending out the Codes to everyone who posts below. Please do not forward codes to each other or other players.

For my spreadsheets to work I need to know your team names in each league so once you join PLEASE POST YOUR TEAM NAMES ON THIS THREAD.

Due to the T&Cs on the TFF site this is only open to residents of the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Northern Ireland (unless you can find a way around it).

Rules
(1) You will enter a team into both competitions and then join the respective leagues set up by me. I will need a post on this thread from each member that contains their team names.
(2) The game rules and scoring set up by TFF and FPL will apply to your respective teams throughout the season.

Entry Deadline:
Kick is 11:30am (UK time) on Saturday 13 August.
Any entries after this deadline will not be entered into the competition and removed from the league.

League Codes:
League codes will be sent to everyone interested once they are set up.

TFF League:
This will be a closed league so that it represents the typical way TFF is played. ie. You will not be able to see other players' teams like you can in FPL.

Gameplay:
Each week your teams' scores will be combined into a Superleague that I will post on FISO weekly as far as I am able. Your TFF score will be factored up by 1.2 to equal out the scoring systems.
Gameweeks will be based on the FPL structure (see below).

Gameweeks:
The combined league will be posted after the final match is played and scores updated by TFF and FPL in each week.
Gameweeks will be based on the FPL GW rules - These are listed on the website.

Combo Cup:
Later in the season I will set up a knock-out competition to run alongside the main Superleague - Just to keep your interest up

Cash League:
A cash league ran last season but I don't know what the overall interest will be this season. If interested in playing or running then please post here.

Cheers and good luck for the coming season.

This post will be duplicated in the FPL and TFF ML forums

Does TFF stand for Telegraph Fantasy Football, gents?

Is it much different from Fantasy Premier League?

Sorry still getting to grips with this site! Thanks

1. Yep
2. Yes and no. Scoring principles are similar but player prices don't change and you can change your team during a game week (caveat: I'm rubbish at FPL so you should ask someone much more knowledgeable)

There are no wild cards, captains, subs or weird one off play chips in TFF.

League codes sent to everyone who's expressed an interest so far

[Fergi222]

Haven't seen any cash league info as yet, is anyone planning on running one? I don't mind holding the prize fund rather than it not run, it's my favourite competition even if I haven't won it yet!

Go for it... Hancockjr normally does it but he's either not playing this year or is VERY late to the party.

Feel free. I'm already administering one cash league and don't want another.


I'm having a bit of a catch up on league admin in various places today so will send any outstanding codes later tonight.
