Rules:

1. It costs £10.00 (£10.50 by Paypal) per team entered and you can enter as many teams as you like. PLEASE PAY for your teams when you pick them - Paypal is our preferred secure payment method where you can pay by debit or credit card securely.

3. You must select 11 players with 1 goalkeeper, 4 defenders, 3 midfielders, and 3 strikers
4. You are only allowed a maximum of 2 players from each club in your team.
5. *NEW* for 2008-09 Season - The club that players start with will be their club for the whole season for the purpose of the 2 player rule. However they will score points at their new club if they transfer within the transfer windows. E.g. If Berbatov moves from Tottenham to Man Utd he will STILL show up as a Tottenham player - but he will still score the points he gets at Man Utd. If you have two Tottenham players and one is Berbatov, you will not be able to transfer in another Tottenham player. However you can have two Man Utd players PLUS Berbatov.

Scoring Points

Players can win/lose points in a game regardless as to how long they are on the pitch. On that basis the scoring is as follows

Notes on scoring points...

A player starting a match is deemed to have made a starting appearance. The player will not lose any points for being substituted.

An assist is deemed to be the last signifigant touch before a goal is scored, if that last touch is from a player on the same team. There are no assists on penalty kicks scored, but in the event of a penalty kick being saved, any resulting play is subject to the normal rules of play.

A player coming on to the pitch at any stage as a substitute will receive substitute appearance points and will earn or lose points as if he had been invoved for the whole match. e.g. a defender playing for 3 minutes in a match his team win 2-0 will receive a full allocation of clean sheet points.

A goalkeeper is deemed to have saved a penalty if the ball is not in the goal after the initial spot kick, including shots off target. Should a rebound be scored then points are won and lost as in normal play.

Players transfered in will earn or lose you points from the first match after they have been added to your team. You will not receive or lose points for the games they were involved in before the player was brought in. Players transfered out will cease to earn or lose you points from the time they were removed from your team.

The administrators decision is final on all matters and no correspondence will be entered into.
