Block League episode 10 (19/20 season)

Post by **Mystery** » 28 Jul 2019, 18:51

Back for another season. This is a preemptive placeholder at the moment but still post your interest here and we will advise if a space is available.

LEAGUE RULES (as previous seasons)

1. Each team must have the goalkeeper & defenders from their selected team only.

2. All formations are allowed, so you may select just 3 defenders from your specified team, or you can have 5 too. But all defenders and the goalkeeper must be from "your" team at all times.

3. League name and pin as follows:
FISO Block League
League PIN tbc
Passcode tbc

4. Your adopted club must be part of the Team name.

5. Penalty's for Illegal players:

A. A player transfers in real life from Your adopted block to another team in the premiership: penalty = points scored by player whilst still in your team plus effective ten man team (i.e. "penalty" is restricted to points earned by the newly ineligible player).
B. A player transfers in real life from your adopted block to a championship / European team: = no penalty just a ten man team.
C. A player is transferred by error/deliberately into the team in this game but plays for a different block: penalty = 10 points per game played by the wrong team (whether "your" player plays is irrelevant) plus points scored by the player.
D. A player is transferred into the team in this game but plays for a different block but is noticed/transferred out before playing: penalty = no point penalty just a wasted transfer.
E. A very cheap player is put in to enable higher outfield players i.e. a 1.6 goalie in a Chelsea defence = disqualification.

Please shout now if anyone thinks these penalty's are wrong or I've missed something and they can be amended before we start.

6. Selection will be based on last season's final positions, so Maldini as champion will choose first then PM the next person on the list who will then choose and pm the next person etc.

6. It may be required to show a screen shot from the my stats/performance page to prove team legality (the winner should do this season end) although if the TFF site is similar to last year, and it seems to be similar so far, then I'll be watching throughout and probably reporting statistical gubbins about everyone's teams too.

7. Your team must be made public before the first Premier League kick-off at 20:00 on Friday, August 9, 2019.

This comp is only for fun with just the pride of winning (unless someone wants to donate a trophy).

(If a TFF Super League prize is won, this will be shared equally between the top five places at the end of the season - do they even exist now?)

Last season's league final standing and thus initial block selection order is as follows (if you can copy and paste to confirm your block selection and pm the next person when complete please):

Ditto.

Is there a deadline for entries into the League ie not the the actual teams but to pick who we take?

Not sure there is a deadline as such but we might as well start picking as soon as the winners progressively arrive (last season's winner goes first etc)

Yes, I'm only in if it is short....

Yes.

I’ll be amazed if you don’t get to play with the limit of 5 teams per manager.

Post by **Spinynorman** » 29 Jul 2019, 20:09

You do understand if your last pick you get who left?

If a few pull out you might be lucky.

Not sure this is right.... but according to Tapatalk he hasn't posted on FISO since October (getting slightly smug about his Wolves block). Can anyone check on the proper website?

Sorry, just wanted to let you know my five teams are allocated to Eggs, Tenner, £22 (2) & £25 this year so I'll have to pass this year

You could stick the £25 and/or £10 teams into the £22 league. Or your block if you feel confident!

I'm hedging by bets - I'm not that confident!

Mintman hasn’t posted in the Upside Down for quite a while either.

Robot, suggest you PM the next guy down.

Post by **murf** » 30 Jul 2019, 22:28

Give each person 24 hours then the next one can step in.

Anyone who misses their turn can jump back in at any time.

Post by **murf** » 31 Jul 2019, 13:05

Anybody know who Tony H is? Came 4th last year with hi sChelski block (so, next pick after Mintman)

EDIT - It is hayesag who said on last year's thread he'll be back. I've PM'd him

1. Maldini - Manchester United
2. Robot - Liverpool
3. Mintman - ?
4. hayesag - IN
5. murf - IN
