The Reprobates will return again this season. The lineup will likely be the same but will post on here if an opening presents itself.

Last Season's Virgins have followed tradition and ditched their former team. However, instead of entering the market as free-agents they are all returning for another assault on the league with a brand new identity.



Last season they were the Untouched...



This season they are the Untouchables







When asked if they were contenders for the championship their spokesman said:

"Ya wanna know how you get the title?
I'll tell ya how you get the title.
One of their guys pulls out a Bench Boost -
You pull out a Free Hit.
They score 2 goals against you -
You score 3 goals against them!

That's how you get the title."

The Untouchables line-up:

Jay P
samyadav
Cars and Mané
Shevchenko

Does anyone know, or can tell me how to check, if any of the following (ex-Virgins) are regulars on FISO?
Deanfar
Skuse Me
Mogwai
Neville Wears Prada
SE
Caz Octopus
tiotom92
w_r_10

Otherwise I'll have to persuade pompey1898 to step out of 5AS retirement!

[Doogal]

Three Rogues have signed new contracts. Waiting for the other two to return from post-WC break.

mogwai

That's a good one

... and please hands off from Neville Wears Prada, as he is our new team member (confirmed in March already). He should yet join our mini-league.

Otherwise I'll have to persuade pompey1898 to step out of 5AS retirement!

Why? There are some other potential new candidates around looking for a team?

Does anyone know, or can tell me how to check, if any of the following (ex-Virgins) are regulars on FISO?

Deanfar and Skuse Me were in my Virgins team of 15/16 (as was your current team member Hödi) but got inactive on FISO in that season already.

For the other users maybe you should check out (user control panel, find a member) their last activity on FISO. E.g. for SE it was July 15th.

No doubt it was worth our heavy investment

Welcome to Jok!

[RichH6109]

The Rejects are reforming to prop up the table. League reactivated, just one more team member to rejoin.

[Libero]

The Terminators will wait a few weeks until after the declaration period ends, go back in time to find RomynPG and forcibly alter history so we become the only team to declare, eliminating the possibility of any resistance and establishing ourselves as the 2018/9 FISO 5AS Champions.

But to be on the safe side we'll also declare and compete in the usual fashion.

Will contact the Stokies this week !!!!

[the pom]

MattyB & Impoossible United - awaiting confirmation ( Only had 5 hours notice atm )

1 FREE SPACE

[Thalweg]

Hi,

would like to join a team if there is a place going.

Cheers

[nottherealdan]

Hi all,
I'm new (again) to FISO, but am an FPL vet
Please let me know of any open spots

Thanks

[No Way Jose]

As the biggest virgin of them all I've agreed to Captain the Virgins Side this year as Rom has said

League is set up and I am commencing scouting! So if anyone is keen, hit me up. I'm still figuring this all out haha

[MoSe]

just curious, although it's not my business...

The Virgins team is available for newcomers - please shout if you are new to FISO or FPL and wish to be in this team.
 
Looking for teams:
Oxford NZ
bigcliff2
Abhishekrocked
Hogmeister
sir_john_grimes
Crispybits ?

so you can be a Virgin if either:
- it's your first FPL season
- it's your first FISO season

I thought it was if you're new to 5AS, not to Fiso?
i.e. you could be a 10 season FISO veteran, but if it's the first time you play 5AS, you can be a Virgin?

it would be interesting/useful to know (for their captain NWJ) in the waiting list in the OP who's also Virgin-eligible

[MoSe]

I'm new (again) to FISO

please excuse me, but if you drop a hint, you whet our curiosity

what do you mean new (again)?

it would make me think you had a different Fiso account in past seasons, and now you started a new one.
Of course I understand there might be circumstances which prevent you to talk about it!

[Oxford NZ]

Not Virgin eligible and think I have a team to join anyway. Good luck. Cheers

[bigcliff2]

My name's on the "needing a team" list quoted above but I joined a team the other day - I'm in Assassins

The guidelines (rather than rules as such) are a bit woolie. The purpose of the Virgins is to reserve a little space for newbies (however we define them to be). Existing teams are likely to fill any spaces they have with known FISOers and those who are not known have less of a chance to get on board.

A newbie - to me anyway - would be someone new to FPL, new to FISO or relatively new to either - rather than new to 5AS. It doesn't have to be their first season on either - but certainly not their 3rd/4th one. (It's 'mostly' about being new to FISO)

Ideally it would be complete first timers but there is also a risk that true first-timers don't stay and the Virgins team then suffers as the season progresses.

No Way Jose - this seasons Virgins captain (thank you) is fairly new and as a regular poster is ideal for the armband. I would encourage him to pick members who are as new as possible - there are a number of people new to FISO who have expressed an interest and hopefully they would get a slot.

I hope that helps a bit - although it may not
