Prizes:
The prizes awarded will depend on the number of teams entered - all
entry fees will be returned as prize money. The prizes will be as
follows:
1st. Prize: One
half of the League Prize Fund
2nd. Prize: One third of the
League Prize Fund
3rd. Prize: One sixth of the

Thanks to the generosity of David Whitehead, a weekly prize of two
pints (or equivalent) will be given to the manager of the highest
scoring team each week. The prize can be claimed at the bar of the
Jolly Fisherman. In the event of more than one team reaching the same
highest score, each manager will be able to claim the weekly prize. The
prize is not transferable, it must be claimed in the week that it is
won and may not be carried forward. Managers under the age of 18 may
claim soft drinks and other non-alcoholic items in lieu of the two pint
award.
Team Make-up:
All teams must be selected from the attached player list, any updated
list available in the Jolly Fisherman or on the latest version of the
Excel Entry Form at
http://www.thegallons.co.uk/Archive/Football/football2017.html.
The player list contains players from all FA Premiership teams.
Further players will be added to the list as required.
All teams will have 15-man squads and must be in one of the following
four formats:
1. TWO
goalkeepers; FIVE defenders; FIVE midfielders; THREE forwards.
2. TWO
goalkeepers; FIVE defenders; SIX midfielders; TWO forwards.
3. TWO
goalkeepers; FIVE defenders; FOUR midfielders; FOUR forwards.
4. TWO
goalkeepers; FOUR defenders; SIX midfielders; THREE forwards.
The team will include a Star Player at double cost. The Star
Player will score double points at all times.
The team must not exceed £70.0m in value.
A player can only be selected once - player duplication is not
permitted. However, a player can be transferred out of a Fantasy
League team and then transferred back in a subsequent week.
How to play:
Select your team of fifteen different players from the player list
attached to the entry form and nominate one of your players as Star
Player. If you wish to receive a weekly update by E-mail, please
enter your e-mail address in the space provided. If you want to have a
lucky dip team (value between £65m. and £70m.), please tick the box
provided and do not enter any player details yourself. Once you
have completed the form, submit your team(s) along with your entry fee
to John Gallon or leave your entry form and fee behind the bar in The
Jolly Fisherman. Teams which fail to meet the entry requirements
for the competition will not be registered.
NB. If you selected your team rather than opting for a lucky dip team
your team(s) must be submitted by 7.00pm on Friday 11th. August 2017
to begin scoring points from the beginning of the Fantasy League.
Teams selected by the entrant accepted after this date will only start
scoring points from the Saturday following the date of
submission. Lucky dip teams may be entered at any time in the
season and will have scores backdated to the start of the season.
Note: There is no limitation on the number of teams each person
may enter.
Scoring Points:
The Star Player will score double points at all times (including double
negative points where appropriate). From the remaining squad of
14 players, 10 players will score each week. Excluding the Star
Player, the score of the lowest positive or zero-scoring player in each
position each week will drop out of the scoring (i.e. negative scores
will not drop out). If all players in a position register
negative scores, the score nearest to zero will drop out. Players
score points during the English Premier League and FA Cup competitions
as below. No scores are registered for other matches (European
Ties, League Cup etc)
Your selected players will score points as follows:
All players:
Starting XI appearance (2 pts)
Substitute appearance (1 pt)
Goal scored (5 pts)
Key Contribution (3 pts)
Red card (-3 pts)
Yellow card (-1 pt)
Missed penalty (-2 pts)
Own Goal (-3 pts)
Goalkeepers only:
Penalty save (5pts)
Goalkeepers/defenders only:
Full Clean sheet - player plays 60 mins or more (5 pts)
Part clean sheet - player plays fewer than 60 mins (2 pts)
First goal conceded (0 pts)
Each additional goal conceded (-1 pt)
Points are not awarded for penalty shoot outs.
For the purposes of Cup matches, extra time counts as normal game time.
Player Transfers and Star Player
changes:
Changes made before 7:00pm on Friday 11th. August 2017 will not count
against your transfer allocation. After that date managers may
make no more than 4 transfers per week up to a maximum of 24
transfers. These transfers will be split into 2 batches of
12. The first batch of 12 may be used in the first transfer
window (running from Sunday 13th. August 2017 until Saturday 9th.
September 2017) and additionally in a single bonus transfer week
between the closure of the transfer window and Saturday 31st. December
2016. The second batch of 12 transfers may be used in the second
transfer window (Monday 1st. January 2018 to Saturday 10th. February
2018) and additionally in a single bonus transfer week before the end
of the season. A maximum of 4 transfers may be made in a single
transfer week (Sunday to Saturday) with the transfers taking effect
from the following Sunday which means that the new scores will show
from the Sunday after.
You may change your Star Player nomination up to 3 times during the
season. These changes may be made at any time (transfer windows
will not apply) although the normal weekly transfer period will
apply. Your Star Player must be a member of your squad so you may
only bring a new player into your squad to be your new nominated Star
Player during the two transfer windows and Bonus Weeks (and this will
count as one of your transfers from your allocation of 24).
Transfer forms will be available from the blue folder behind the bar at
The Jolly Fisherman and may also be downloaded from http://www.thegallons.co.uk/Archive/Football/football2017.html.
Full rules are as given on the Transfer Form.
Updates
Updated League tables will be published each Sunday at http://www.thegallons.co.uk/Archive/Football/football2017.html
and also held in the blue folder behind the bar at The Jolly
Fisherman. Registered users of the E-mail service will receive
the updated League Table, a listing of current player scores and a
summary of transfers registered in the previous transfer week.
The scores published each Sunday will contain details of all matches
played up to and including the Saturday previous to the date of
publication (subject to availability of the scores).
Fantasy Cup Competition
How the Cup is Played:
A knock-out Cup Competition will be run on the same dates as the rounds
of the FA Cup (subject to the number of teams in the league).
Fantasy League teams will be drawn head-to-head by random computer
selection with the team scoring the highest points going forward to the
next round. If the teams are level on points, the scores for the
previous week will be taken into account. This count-back will
continue until a winner is found.
Two-thirds of the Fantasy Cup prize fund will be awarded to the Cup
Winner and one-third to the losing finalist.
Cup Draws and updates will be published along with the Fantasy League
updates on the appropriate Sundays.
