All done...nice effort SLJ.

Nice one @South Lanarkshire Jag

I've just joined via the league link you put up. Cheers for organising.

[Salvo Montalbano]

In for now. In true Fantasy Football style I'll probably forget about it after about 4 weeks and have players in my team that have been loaned out to Forfar or have broken their legs etc. Thanks for setting it up though.

[South Lanarkshire Jag]

Over 150 teams entered and still about 21 hours before the first gameweek kicks in.

Thanks to everyone who has entered. Hopefully it'll be an exciting competition all season long!

Just signed up SLJ.

Great effort on your part here.

I reckon I put about as much work into selecting my team as Csaba will tomorrow (eg none), and fully expect the outcome to be the same as his this season, which will be mid table mediocrity.*

*Unless by some fucking fluke I get a result, in which case i’ll use this game as a springboard into the football management role I so richly deserve.

Was hearing somewhere that might go down as a James Criagen own goal.

If the SFA change it, I'll amend the points later in the week.

Being behind the goal, it was 100% a Nicky Clark goal. There was no doubt that Clark got the final touch. Pretty sure defenders got about 2/3 touches before it though, so probably no assist for that one.

[South Lanarkshire Jag]

Having reviewed the video evidence of Dundee United v Dunfermline Athletic - there will be no assist for Clark's goal. 

The assist given to James Craigen for the third DAFC goal has been removed and given to El Bahktaoui on tv evidence. 

Current Video Review incidents

Josh Todd goal v Morton - to determine if assist

Fraser Aird goal v Dunfermline - to determine who was fouled for the free kick

Did Doyle play for QOS yesterday? Sure I seen his name in the lineup but never got any points for him. Maybe I’m wrong.

HIi CC52 FFC. 

Michael Doyle did start earning two points, but he also conceded two goals which lost him two points making his sum total - 0 

Hope this helps, 

SLJ

ETA: If you click on a player in your team it takes you through to a week by week of his points so you can see what he got and what he lost.

You can sign up any time during the season (according rules on the league's website).  

 

Obviously you're handicapped by being short a week's points but with your superior knowledge you'll catch that up I'm sure

Good afternoon, 

Welcome to an unofficial Ladbrokes Championship 2018/19 Fantasy Football game. The game will run for the duration of the 36 scheduled Ladbrokes Championship fixtures for the upcoming seasons. Play-off and cup fixtures WILL NOT be part of this game. 

The game is FREE to enter for anyone who wishes to play. There is no prize for this game. It is done for fun and enjoyment and to help fill a gap in the lack of properly organised Fantasy Football games within Scottish Football. 

Unlike previous games I have run, this one is based on a brand new platform which should be fluid and easy to use. The game can be accessed at - https://spfl.fantasyclubfootball.co.uk/

General

• There can only be one team registered per email address
• Each team has a budget of £55 million to assemble their team. 
• Each team must contain 11 players with no limit on a number of players from each Championship side. Other than a compulsory goalkeeper, team managers may select any combination of players up to a maximum of 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 4 strikers. In essence you could play the Jimmy Calderwood famed 2-4-4 or 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 or 4-2-4 - as long as you have one player in each positions. 
• Each team can select a captain who will score double points.
• Gameweeks begin every Saturday at midday. This is when transfers and captain changes are processed. 

Scoring: 

Ever Player gets: 

• 2 points for starting a match
• 1 point for coming on as a substitute
• -2 points for a yellow card
• -6 points for a red card

Points for assists, goals scored, clean sheets and goals conceded vary per position and can be found - https://spfl.fantasyclubfootball.co.uk/fantasy-rules

The man of the match element has been set to 0 as it is wildly inconsistent and at most grounds picked by a sponsor for a player in the home team. 

_{Clean Sheets}

_{A clean sheet is awarded for not conceding a goal whilst on the pitch and playing at least 60 minutes(excluding injury time).} 

_{If a player has been substituted when a goal is conceded this will not affect any clean sheet bonus.} 

_{Red Cards}

_{If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.} 

_{Red card deductions include any points deducted for yellow cards.}

_Assists

_{Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. If an opposing player touches the ball aftger the final pass before a goal is scored , significantly altering the intended destination of th eball, then no assist is awarded.} 

_{In the event of a penalty of free-kick the player earning the penalty or free-kick is awarded an assist if a goal is directly scored, unless the player who was fouled takes the kick himself.} 

 

Transfers:

• Each team gets 1 free transfer each week
• Making additional transfers is permitted but will incur a cost of -5 points per transfer
• When a captain is transferred out a team, the team will be without a captain and a new one should be selected.
• Transfers are free and unlimited until 12:00 on Saturday 4th August when the first game week will begin
• Transfers and captain changes may be submitted at any time but will not take effect until midday the following Saturday, so they are active for the upcoming gameweek. 
• Teams will be able to play one transfer wildcard per season. This will allow them to make free, unlimited transfers for one week only. 

 

Notes: 

• If there are any players from your team that I have missed, simply let me know and I'll add them to the game. 
• Information on goalscorers, assists and yellow cards will be taken from official club websites(where available) and club twitter sites. In the event of an error, the stats will be updated when checked and verified.
• Points will be added on Saturday evening/Sunday mornings. Point updates are automatic(no waiting until the middle of the night anymore) when I input the data. I'll post on this thread when I update the scores for each week.

I think that is everything, but if you have any questions that I haven't covered above just let me know. 

Feel free to share this game throughout your own club forums/group chats/social circles. The more players the better! 

Good Luck!

SLJ, I take that there's no functionality on the website to allow for sub leagues?  I was just thinking that supporters of each team might like to keep track of who's top dog for their team.  

 

What's football without bragging rights after all?

44th after the first week, all but downhill from now.

Cheers. I've went for it - but my lack of knowledge of other teams in the championship could be my downfall.

Filling my team with Ayr players might not be the best strategy...
