It's back!!!
The dust has barely settled on the 2007-08 season, and already we’re beginning to think about the new GFFL season!! So it's time to decide whether you are in or out for the coming season.
Full details of players etc. will be available in the next week or so, but I’d like to try and get an idea of numbers, so please let me know if you are interested in taking part again this year, and as usual, please pass this on to any friends, family or work colleagues who might like to join in the fun. We’ll again be using the Daily Telegraph Fantasy Football League as the basis for the GFFL. Rules and regulations are detailed below.
As usual, the emphasis is on keeping it simple and low-maintenance. You pick your team, make up to 3 transfers (if you want to!) at the 3 designated transfer windows during the season, and with a bit of skill and lot of luck, you sit back and rake in the money!!
Team Selection
The format is pretty much the same as most years, you can pick either a 1-4-4-2 or 1-4-3-3 formation. Once the full player list is out in the next few weeks, I’ll put together a spreadsheet with a team form for you to fill in.
Team value must not exceed £50m.
Transfer Windows
There will be 3 transfer windows, with up to 3 transfers allowed per window, at the end of October, January and March respectively. Actual transfer window deadline dates will be notified as they approach.
Deadline
The new season kicks off on 16th August, therefore the deadline for getting your team in to me is 17:30 on Friday 15th August.
Prize Fund
Entry fee will again be £50 (a bargain at the equivalent of £5 a month over 10 months!), payable as a £25 initial instalment prior to the season start, followed by 5 x £5 monthly instalments (Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec & Jan) thereafter, preferably by bank standing order. Of course anyone wanting to pay the full amount from the start is welcome to do so....it’ll save you having to set up those fiddly standing orders!
Account details and prize fund will be finalised once we have any idea of the number of people taking part. There will be monthly and season prizes as in previous seasons. It is likely that if numbers are similar to last season (37 people took part last season), then prizes will be awarded as follows:
Monthly
Winner £35
Runner-up £25
Third £20
Fourth £15
Fifth £10
Sixth £5
Season
Winner £270
Runner-up £190
Third £110
Fourth £75
Fifth £55
Sixth £35
Seventh £15
Total £750.00

All players
+2 pts for appearing in the starting XI
+1 pt for appearing as a substitute
