Prizes:
The prizes will awarded will depend on the number of teams entered - all entry fees will be returned as prize money.
The prizes will be as follows:
Thanks to the generosity of David Whitehead, a weekly prize of two pints (or equivalent) will be given to the manager of the highest scoring team each week. The prize can be claimed at the bar of the Jolly Fisherman. In the event of more than one team reaching the same highest score, each manager will be able to claim the weekly prize. The prize is not transferable, it must be claimed in the week that it is won and may not be carried forward. Managers under the age of 18 may claim soft drinks and other non-alcoholic items in lieu of the two pint award. .
Team Make-up:
All teams must be selected from the attached player list. This
player list will be updated on a weekly basis and displayed in The
Jolly Fisherman. The player list contains players from all FA
Premiership teams. Further players will be added to the list as
required.
All teams will have 15-man squads and must be in one of the following four formats:
The team will include a Star Player at double cost. The Star Player will score double points at all times.
The team must not exceed £65.0m in value.
The team may not contain more than THREE
players from any single club. For the purpose of the Fantasy
Competition, all information published for each player will remain in
effect throughout the Game. Club classifications, values and positions
will remain constant for the whole duration of the Game so even if a
player is transferred in real life, his club will remain as originally
published for the purposes of this League. A player can only be
selected once - player duplication is not permitted. However, a
player can be transferred out of a Fantasy League team and then
transferred back in a subsequent week. Entries that do not
conform to these selection criteria will be declared void but Team
Managers may re-submit a valid team against their original entry fee.
Scoring Points:
The Star Player will score double points at all times (including double negative points where appropriate). From the remaining squad of 14 players, 10 players will score each week. Excluding the Star Player, the score of the lowest positive or zero-scoring player in each position each week will drop out of the scoring (i.e. negative scores will not drop out). If all players in a position register negative scores, the score nearest to zero will drop out. Players score points during the English Premiership and FA Cup competitions as below. No scores are registered for other matches (European Ties, Carling Cup etc).
All players:+2 pts for appearing in the starting XI
+1 pt for appearing as a substitute
+3 pts for key contribution to a goal
+5 pts for scoring a goal (including penalty shoot-outs)
-2 pts for missing a penalty (including penalty shoot-outs)
-3 pts for an own goal
-3 pts for being sent off
-1 pts for a booking (-3 pts for 2 bookings in the same match)
+4 pts for a full match clean sheet
+2 pts for not conceding a goal during a part-appearance
-1 pt for each goal conceded after the first (not including shoot-outs)
+5 pts for a penalty save (including penalty shoot-outs) (goalkeepers only)
For the purposes of Cup matches, extra time counts as normal game time.
A weekly update of the Fantasy League will be provided in The Jolly Fisherman, on-line at www.thegallons.co.uk/jolly.html and by e-mail if required.
