Fuerteventura Forum Dross Fantasy Football League 2015/2016

Thanks to Baron von buysbobsale......

It's that time again. 

For those that don't know, each player has a price that may fluctuate through the season. You select a 15 man squad within your budget and each week you may transfer players to improve your squad. The players of your squad that do play in each week gain you points for assists, goals, clean sheets etc.

New Rules for 2015/2016



'Chips' can be used to potentially enhance your team`s performance during the season.
Only one chip can be played in a single Gameweek.

The chips available are as follows:
All Out Attack â€" Allows you to play a 2-5-3 formation in the next Gameweek.
Bench Boost â€" The points scored by your bench players in the next Gameweek are included in your total.
Triple Captain â€" Your captain points are tripled instead of doubled in the next Gameweek.

Changes to the Wildcard system

What it is â€" A wildcard allows a manager to make as many transfer changes to their team as they would like in one gameweek without accruing any points losses (a normal week allows one free transfer with each additional transfer resulting in a four point loss).
In previous years, managers would receive one wildcard they could play at any time during the season, and another one solely during the month of January, when the Premier League`s real transfer window was open.

This season managers must play one wildcard in the first half of the season (before 28 Dec 14:00), and the other during the second half.

Thanks for that I hadn't even noticed the changes

[admin]

More head scratching than ever before methinks.

[Ronnietheblue]

Think you can only play your chips once though, not available every week, or have I read this wrong.

[admin]

One a week the way I read it.

[Ronnietheblue]

In the help/frequently asked questions it says the bench boost all out attack and triple captain can each be used once a season. Fairly sure I've read that correctly. If that is the case obviously we've to consider double game weeks.ooooh mi heads hurting already

[admin]

I stand corrected.

Chips

How often can each chip be used?

The All Out Attack, Bench Boost and Triple Captain chips can each be used once a season and are played when saving your team on the my team page.

They can be cancelled at anytime before the Gameweek deadline.

Can I use more than one chip in the same Gameweek?

No, only one chip may be active in a Gameweek.
For example, it is not possible to make transfers with your Wildcard chip and then use your Bench Boost chip in the same Gameweek.

What happens to my All Out Attack chip if automatic substitutions change my formation?

The chip is still played. If you use your All Out Attack chip to select a 2-5-3 formation and a midfielder or forward doesn't play then the bonus is lost, the chip isn't returned.

What happens to my Triple Captain chip if my captain doesn't play?

The triple points bonus will be passed to your vice-captain. If your vice-captain doesn't play either then the bonus is lost, the chip isn't returned.

[Ronnietheblue]

Glad that's sorted, I can come out of mi darkened room now

[Elite of the forum]

Simples

[Ronnietheblue]

Here we go. Good luck to all managers.

[Elite of the forum]

Still making change to my team,how can you have 4 players doubtful before a ball is kicked in anger 

[Ronnietheblue]

4 pints or quits for whoever is leading at the September meet up Bob

[Elite of the forum]

Garbage day as usual but i will take you on and ive not even looked how you have gone on

[Ronnietheblue]

Disastrous opening day both in reality and fantasy 

[Elite of the forum]

Not to clever here either

[DaveW]

Going to be a long season

[Ronnietheblue]

Hope I get points given now that my captain Silva has been awarded the goal on Saturday and not Yaya

[DaveW]

Same here. I am sure that I selected Silva as my captain but somehow an Arsenal waster was my actual captain. Got it right for this week

[Elite of the forum]

All done and dusted ready for the weekend

[DaveW]

The site is all in Spanish as I am over here

[DaveW]

See there is a note saying that we wont get the extra points for the goal awarded to Silva

[Elite of the forum]

What a shame 

[Ronnietheblue]

Unjust. Am withdrawing mi team . Bets are off

[Elite of the forum]

I see jon has put his name to the better of the 2 teams hes got in the league

[DaveW]

It was in Lisa's name the other day, does this man have no shame. What is his second team?

[Ronnietheblue]

What are you trying to say Bob and Dave

[Elite of the forum]

His other team is the one owned by Arthur Daley
