OK, anyone interested in a side game that isn't based on the London Underground map?
(No minimum number of players required)
It's a football game, in which each "manager" plays a game against another "manager" each week. You score goals depending on the players in your the UFPL squad, and a play in a league format etc etc.
The scoring system is this:
* From your final eleven players at the end of the gameweek, take the lowest score from a defender, a midfielder and a striker. Goalkeepers are included as defenders.
* Compare the score for your defender with your opponent's striker, midfielder against midfielder and striker against defender. Each time your player scores more than your opponent, you score one goal.
* You score an extra goal if two of your players have the same points.
* You guarantee a clean sheet if all three of your scores are the same.
* You fail to score at all if your captain (with points doubled) is one of your three players.
Example:
My lowest defender scores 2, my lowest midfielder scores 3 and my lowest striker scores 2.
For my opponent, his defender scores 6, midfielder scores 1 and striker scores 7.
My defender loses (2 vs 7) so I go 0-1 down.
My midfielder wins (3 vs 2) so I equalise 1-1.
My striker loses (2 vs 6) so I go 1-2 down.
I score an extra goal because my defender and striker both scored 2 points. 2-2
Both manager's gain 1 league point.
Hopefully that's fairly clear!
It would be good to start in GW 6, and maybe have a couple of friendlies in GW 5 to test my spreadsheet. Only those in the FISO league can enter so I can easily find your teams.

3 zeroes = a clean sheet?

Why not run it in FPL instead. You will get more interest there I am sure.

Re: UFPL side game (no maps required)
I don't get the logic behind getting an extra goal just because two of your players have the same bad score. What if your striker had 3 points and your defender had 4 points, then because the scores aren't the same then you lose the 'match' above 2-1, even though your players had done slightly better from a UFPL perspective?bspittles wrote:

That was just to make it less likely that the "best" UFPL score was going to win every match.
