Block League episode 11 (20/21 season) ** & SIGN UP FOR 21/22 * *

Post by murf »

Hopefully I'm not stepping on toes here but thought I would start this thread to gauge interest and even start picking teams

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 topspur 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 on Saturday September 12 2010.

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

Yes please ... and thankfully not Norwich again!

It seems no public teams? But we can still do this right?

They say they are working on making teams public so carrying on under the assumption they will.

Ok, back home and taken a look now. Unfortunately, as you've suggested from elsewhere, it does appear that I can't renew an old league and thus all the previous season's data has been lost. And, of course, there doesn't appear to be an option to set the teams as public right now either.

If i can guess the correct goalkeeper to start there is value in the defence but can Arteta get them keeping clean sheets? Toss up between Arsenal and Burnley but i have already had the Clarets before so will try some one different.

Yes, I'd message him. If everyone could PM the next name once they are in it should help.

PS Any more players fancy adding their name to the list? At least 1 more player wanted.
