THE LEAGUE IS NOW FULL

I’m looking for three two one teams to complete my league. It’s probably best for those who are already familiar with the game, but if there is interest, I will also create a league for newcomers.

There’s a learning curve to this game. It definitely isn’t for everyone.

The prize fund is small and restricted to residents of Australia and New Zealand.

If that hasn’t put you off, then I think it’s the most involving fantasy football game that I’ve played.

You have a budget of 100m and must pick a squad of 15 players - 3 forwards, 5 midfielders, 5 defenders, and 2 goalkeepers. There are no restrictions on how many players you can pick from any one team.

The starting prices are based on last season’s performances. They fluctuate based on the points scored in the last three game weeks, weighted against the previous price.

You get 44 trades (transfers) for the season, which sounds a lot, but you will need them.

The objective is to build and manage your dream team.

It operates a rolling lockout, meaning that you can make transfers, substitutions, change formations, switch captains, and vice-captains, throughout the game week. Players only become locked in once their team plays, irrespective of whether they take any part in the match themselves. That then restricts the options available to you for the remaining matches in the round. It definitely helps if you live in a European timezone.

The league’s primary focus is on a head-to-head competition. Twenty teams and you play each opponent twice. There’s also the overall competition and a cup competition.

There is a chat section for members of the league and you’re welcome to join in. Make sure the league is set as your default league to view the chat.

Most of us are former players of The Original Fantasy League Classic game and we met online while playing that game. When that game ceased, we moved over to Sportsdeck. There are people living in England, Scotland, Canada, US, Portugal, South Africa, Australia, and one of the Scandinavian countries.

I’ve prepared a brief guide for the game and I’ll send you a copy of that if you message me. It explains some of the tactical elements of the game, including how to maximise points from your vice-captain or captain.
