[Malrom]

what exactly does that mean: each manager creates two unique TFF teams ?

To completely different teams? 22 players in total?

[SamD]

Thanks for the query, Malrom.

League was set up to provide for two strategies. This should help prolong interest, especially when one plan falters. A manager's teams can be different by one player or all 11.

For info, second half of season includes internal League Cup, with a manager's sides starting in different halves of the draw. Again, it's hoped this extends enjoyment.

For some unfathomable reason, I fancy giving this another go...

Rice - payment sent. Thanks Sam!
