Fantasy Football 2013/2014

[Drewde]

Hey!

To celebrate that Sony’s Hawk Eye goal line technology is being introduced in the new Premier League season, I thought we should have a Sony Community Fantasy Football league!

Do we have any football fans here?

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/ is the link you’ll need. You’ll need to sign up first and then you’ll be able to create your team.

Then each match day you’ll be given points based on clean sheets, goals, etc. You’ll be able to make subs and transfers throughout the season. You can find all the rules here: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/the-scout/

Once your team is created, you’ll be able to join the league.

Sony Community league code is: 948955-247252

Good luck everyone!

Do you think goal line technology will have an impact this year? Who are your picks for the top 4/bottom 3?

Haven't made it through the team selection yet lol

I spent a day on and off looking at players then gave up.

There are several tactics to use but I just don't know which one lol

To be honest and frank.  I dont know many of the players at all.  Pure guess, based on prices !

[Drewde]

I had a quick look and it does look more complicated than the other one. I hear you get a point every two crosses.

Thanks Drewde - DIdnt even look at the scoring until you mentioned it.  Im wondering if an 'all-round' team is rewarded better than just pure goal scoring (as like the other FF)

5. SCORING
Every player receives points for what he does on the pitch, based on the statistic analysis of the match. Depending on their success, players will receive positive or sometimes even negative points. The following points are awarded during the evaluation:

Playing 1-30 minutes	1
Playing 31-60 minutes	2
Playing 61+	3
Goal	5
Assist*	3
Clean sheet (only if player plays more than 61 minutes)	4	4	1	0
Every save/blocked shot	1	2	2	2
Penalty save	5
Every 2 balls delivered into penalty area	1
Ball recovered (Midfielder)	0	0	1	0
Every 2 balls recovered (Defender)	0	1	0	0
Every 3 fouls	-1
Every 2 goals conceded (Goalkeeper and Defender)	-1	-1	0	0

BONUSES (are available only if a player plays more than 31 minutes)

	Points
Bonus Points	Goalkeeper	Defender	Midfielder	Forward
Save rate > 80 per cent	1

Attempts rate> 80 per cent				1

* An assist is awarded to a player who plays the final successful pass which leads to a goal. Please note that assists are not awarded to players who are fouled for free-kicks or penalties which lead to goals, for own goals or for goals which result from rebounds off other players or the woodwork.

Your team captain, which you can change for each round, will score double points. If you fail to select a captain then no player will score double points.

@jumpsuit  - UNBELIEVABLE !!

He who cannot be named, instead of standing down or being sacked, running for 5th term.

I think you are totally wrong.

In fact I love them. They have helped the sport so much, and they are a real credit to professional management.

I have not been paid to say this but did receive a letter informing me that I am actually going to be hosting the 2022 tournament in my garden.
