Registrations are on!!!!

REGISTRATIONS CLOSED!!!

Registrations can be done there, instructions are well specified. Please remember that you discuss with your friends in ffs, and decide your league preference accordingly.

After the overwhelming support, we are obliged to inform you that we feel that we have no other choice but to accept 120 teams. This implies that we push on with 6 leagues, and disappoint as few as possible –

a) We get 6 leagues started based on – Bundesliga (18 teams + 2 relegated teams have been added), EPL, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1, Rest of Europe

b) All of these leagues host the popular 1-1 format. POINT SCORING IS BASED ON THE OFFICIAL FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE GAME.

c) It is scheduled for either half the year – gw1 to gw 19 (Half of the year). With the exception of the Bundesliga which is from gw1 to gw17.

d)In the group stages, the CL officially takes 32 teams but the Europa officially takes 48 teams. We maintain the same here. Revised rules of UCL + Europa –

1) Top 4 teams in each league  – 6×4+A(Set of 8 teams)

2) Next 6 teams in each league – 5×6+B(Set of 18 teams)

A and B are a set of teams chosen by the council.

*Past winners – ENR(UCL) + Duffman(Europa) if they have not qualified automatically will be a guaranteed selection as one of the teams. Also past winners have the privilege of retaining the same team. So Chelsea and Standard Leige are already taken. *

Rest can be new members, league members, special contributors, scout-team members or even UEFA council members but they only have 26 seats to fight for.

To keep things interesting for people at the lower half of the table, none of the bottom 3 teams will not be allowed for the selection to the UCL or the Europa under any circumstances. NO EXCEPTIONS.

You will not be re-assigned a team for the UEFA CL/Europa.

Criteria for Team Selection:  

1) Contribution to past UEFA events and positive participation in past UEFA events

2) popularity/reputation of managers on the forum

3) highest fpl rank of manager (within last 5 seasons)

Each of these criteria will be judged objectively by the organizing committee and the ultimate decision rests with them. The 5 organizers are allowed entry by default, and so are the 10 contributors. *Please note that criteria 1 and 2 have more weight than criteria 3.

Requirement of all accepted managers: A minimum of 2-3 Press Conferences or Team news during each 19 gw season. Please check Champions League and Europa League Write-Ups for examples of these. More details on this later.

Timeline:
July 23: Applications Open

August 8: Accepted managers and respective leagues announced, team allocation begins
August  15-16 (or earlier if possible): team allocation completed

Matchday Rules:
Any points hits taken are deducted from your score
There are no restrictions on playing your wildcard
If 2 teams are level on points after the final matchday match then the h2h record (win/loss) between them will determine who qualifies for the knockout phase. If 3 or more teams are tied on the same points after the final matchday, the overall Points Difference (GD) will come into play, as it effectively takes into account all the matches. If the overall GD is equal, then the team with “higher points scored over the 19 game season” will win the tie.
