Choosing Your Team
Study the lists of players by looking at the Goalkeepers, Defenders,
Midfielders and Strikers lists provided. Please remember to follow the
two main rules: 1. Your team's value cannot exceed £50 million. 2. Your
team must meet one of the seven accepted formations 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-5-1,
3-4-3, 3-5-2, 5-4-1 and 5-3-2. There is an amnesty on transfers until 7
p.m. on the 11th August so no matter how early you enter you can still
change your team at any time until the season kicks off without being
penalised. You have until 7 p.m. on the 11th August to enter/ finalise
your team, you can do this either via e-mail, phone or personally to me.
The Transfer System
Simple really, you have up to EIGHTEEN transfers to use in blocks of
nine over two transfer windows. All you must remember is to stay within
the £50M budget and ensure you maintain a valid formation, although
alternating between any of them is allowed. No matter what day you
request the transfer, they will not become active until the next
available Tuesday, with Monday 10 p.m. being the closing point for each
weekly transfer cut off. Please ensure you get confirmation that your
transfer has been received and accepted, if not please re-send until
confirmation is received. The windows for a maximum nine transfers each
time are: - Transfer Window 1: August 12th - December 31st Transfer
Window 2: February 1st – May 20th The PRICES of players will NOT change
throughout the season so the original price list will be maintained
throughout the campaign on the website. If you don’t use your nine
transfers in any given window they are LOST completely. One last thing,
you can only use a maximum of THREE transfers in any given game week.
