*** TFF/FPL Combo 2010/11 - Rules + Sign-up ***

Post by DixieDean »

Hi all

It's that time of year again and now both TFF and FPL have been launched I thought I'd start up this thread for people to show interest in playing this season.
I've only made one change to things compared to last season and that is how much I factor up your TFF score each week. Based on last season a fairer amount is an increase of 1.4 times your score.

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.

For my spreadsheet 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:
TFF: 12:45pm (British Summer Time) on Saturday, August 14
FPL: 11.30am (British Summer Time) on Saturday, August 14

Any entries after these deadlines 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. Your TFF score will be factored up by 1.4 to equal out the scoring systems.
Gameweeks will be based on the TFF 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 TFF GW rules - Tuesday to Monday throughout the season.
The first update will be on Tuesday 17th August and then on the following Monday or Tuesday after that (dependent on there being a Monday night game in the EPL).

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!!! :wink:

Cash League:
Spencer4 is going to organise a cash league to run alongside the main game. It's £10 entry and he will set up separate thread soon.
No extra teams or effort is needed... Just your extra side bet.


Cheers and good luck for the coming season.

1.4, that is quite a shift. Wasn't it 1.8 originally?

No... last season I factored the scores up by 1.2 so it's just a slight adjustment really.

No mate... you can call it what you like... I just need to know what teams link to each FISOer and also which league it will be in.

Hi Nedved11... Thanks for joining up mate...

It's very simple really... you just run a team in TFF and also run a team in FPL.
After that I just add it all up and post a combined superleague score each week. The TFF points get bumped up a bit because the you can score more in the FPL game.

At the end of the day your mission... if you wish accept it... is to score as much as you can. :wink:

The difference in the tactics for each game makes it quite a challenge.

Last season the FPL league finished 79th worldwide and the TFF league finished 24th overall... which is great but both leagues actually flirted with much higher positions as the season went on.

So anyone that wins this comp has to be seriously good at both games... Which I reckon makes them pretty damned skillful. 8-)


As I said ... Thanks for joining up and good luck for the season matey.

Thanks Dixie, this is really innovative, looking forward to it.

I'll also join the cash league.

Team name will be Persuader and my name will show as 'Nedved Eleven' to clarify who I am if that's ok.

Thanks again.

The FPL league is set up and I (hopefully) will get time tonight to buy some TFF credits, so I'll start sending out the codes this weekend.

Dixie,

thanks for your work on this, looking forward to it.

I've now joined both leagues (I was first in after you :oops: it was all in the timing of the receipt of the PM :D )

As an amendment to my above post my team name is now 110th Special Unit in both TFF and FPL (thought it would be easier) so please add me to any relevant spreadsheets,

regards.

The following have had a PM (except me of course!!!) but please copy and paste and then add yourself to the list below if you want to play.

This takes quite a bit of pre-season admin so I'm going to keep pushing for early entries to make it as easy as possible for me.
