Rule Reminders:

1) Teams must be announced by Friday 22nd at midnight.

- Once teams are nominated they cannot be changed. If by chance you do not nominate your team by Friday 22nd at midnight then the team from the previous round will be chosen.

- A Captain/Vice-Captain must be chosen, as well as Subs in order of prefernce to come on the field with the sub GK being first.

2) All trades must be complete by midnight Wednesday 20th.

- A limit of two trades are allowed per round, with a maximum of 3 players on each trade.
- No out of position trades are allowed.
- Any delistings (1 player) will be counted as a trade. 2 players will count as two trades.

3) Scoring and Formation system is based on the Official EPL Fantasy competition.

- A bonus of 3 points is given to the home side as a "Home Ground Advantage"

4) The same scoring system will be applied as a normal soccer competition for a Win/Draw/Loss

I can't think of any more rules that need to be stated. If there is, let me know.

Good luck :P Looking forward to the season ahead.

EDIT: I have changed the home ground advantage to 3 points now.

Nice little rule display Fletch. 5 point home advantage will come in handy :o.

Might see if I can make my team any stronger after their pre season domination :P.

[Master Q]

Yeh same HP, I'm after 2 guys and I think 1 of them is yours.

[CrowsFan]

Looks like I'm coming up against the in form team :(
Also I thought it was only going to be a 3 point advantage not 5?

[Justin Bieber]

I'm not going to argue :P.

Still the pieces could still fall in place for you Fletch ;).

Was it 3, oops, my bad. I'll change it if everyone agrees it should be 3?

[Justin Bieber]

Don't see a problem with that. Plays an extra man literally :P.

3 or 5 doesnt really worry me :)

[HillHero13]

if it's 5 and i lose by 2.. im leaving the tournament!!

[CrowsFan]

What if it's 3 and you lose by 1? Will you leave the tournament then?

[HillHero13]

ummm... i don't know

[chrisuzz]

We decided way back that we were going to have a home ground advantage and we decided that it would be 3 points.. Nuff Said.

With Fabregas and Bosingwa back in my starting 11, I honestly don't see a lot of teams beating me.

[Fletch74]

I know of one player who is in red hot form that no one has. I'm very surprised he has not been noticed. I just traded him in my official epl team :)

[Justin Bieber]

Going to jump on him Fletch?
