The CSE Forums Football Manager Fantasy Football

[Ridleys]

Hello and Welcome to the Football Manager Fantasy Football.
Credit goes to NepentheZ for the original idea!

This is a lot like many other Fantasy Football games, however it is done on Football Manager instead of based on real life matches. The basic idea is that each 'Forumer' (thanks again for the word canvey!!) get's a budget of £120 million to spend on a team consisting of 11 players. Teams must consist of 1 goalkeeper, but formations can be mixed around. You can choose from either: 5-3-2, 3-5-2, 4-4-2, 4-3-3, or 3-4-3. You must also assign a captain, who will score double points.

You can select up to 3 players from any one team. If a player is transferred during the season and this transfer takes you over this limit, then you will need to go back under the limit when making your next transfers. Each player has been given a value. The total value of your initial squad must not exceed £120 million. Players will be posted in screenshots, by team, later on. The value of players is taken from Football Manager as well.

Transfers can be made once a week, you have a limit of 3 transfers per week, so choose very carefully. You do not have to use all your transfers, but the transfers you don't use will not be carried through to the next week, so for example if you do not use any of your transfers, you will not get 6 the next week, you will still have 3.

Point Scoring

For playing at least 60 minutes in a game                    2

Wasn't going to take part in this, but it looks so well done and easy to do (on my part) that I think I will.

Teams must consist of 1 goalkeeper, but formations can be mixed around. You can choose from either: 5-3-2, 3-5-2, 4-4-2, 4-4-3, or 3-4-3.

I'm going to play 4-4-3 on account of being able to field 12 players .

Editing this into the guide to the sign-ups as you read this.

Also, hate to dent your use of fancy words, but the correct term is "forumer" not "forumite". A forumite is the digital version of a forumer, so a club or person edited into the database. We real people are forumers.

[Ridleys]

Oh right, well i'll change that as well then

[weeeman27bob]

I was just thinking to myself, aha there's an advantage in signing up early, you get the best players so everyone else can't use them. I then remembered that as it is fantasy football, everyone can have the same players.

That said, i'm confident my team will win !

Tomaldinho, would you mind editing that to the same layout as mine please (eg. not putting the whole thing in bold etc.), it makes the thread look tidier.

Oh and could you write down the club after each player please.

Ridleys after Week One, will you be posting the upcoming Gameweek's fixture list? Might be useful for anyone making transfers and to make sure certain players/teams are playing that gameweek, etc...

[Ridleys]

Ahh yes, I should have done that already. I'll put the fixtures for week one at the bottom of the 2nd post.

[Ridleys]

Still 6 places, interest is still pretty low then.

[roberto922]

Alot of sign ups take time, don't forget that some of the less regular posters could have seen your message about only accepting regular users so they haven't bothered trying.

[Ridleys]

Yeah I suppose, many other sign ups. including my own have filled up a lot quicker than this though. It could be because of the amount of information you have to put in your Sign Up form and everything, including looking at screenshots and everything.

[roberto922]

Mines still filling and I've only got 12 slots.

[roberto922]

I think it's the adding up in mine that puts people off

[PaulHartman71]

I think a lot of people have been put off of my sign-up by the amount of effort that needed to be put it in the sign up form.

[roberto922]

yeah right Paul lol

[Ridleys]

Hmmm yeah.

[weeeman27bob]

Who is this "paul" you speak of. I know him only as Rampant Hula.

Interestingly, i think Gerrard is the most picked player so far.

[Ridleys]

Actually, Crisitiano Ronaldo is the most picked. Picked by 7 of us, Gerrard is 2nd with 5 picks and Adebayor is 3rd with 4 picks, so far.

[PaulHartman71]

what's the most used formation?

[Ridleys]

It's 3-4-3 with 5 people chosing it.

[jonahno6]

Still time?

[weeeman27bob]

Actually, Crisitiano Ronaldo is the most picked. Picked by 7 of us, Gerrard is 2nd with 5 picks and Adebayor is 3rd with 4 picks, so far.

I hasten to add that i didn't actually count. It was just from what I remembered.

So then a solid start for charlesbeams as he takes a solid lead of 11 points in to gameweek 2. Man City Supporter, markcator3006 and Roberto992 all had good weeks as well, all scoring at least 80 points. It was a dissappointing start for Living_Legend though as he finished on just 41 points for the week, and he is already 13 points off the pace.

[Ridleys]

Yeah, looks good, if only you joined in the first week. Lampard had a stormer! Scoring 20 points. You would have probably been in the top 5 places. You should have joined earlier though

[Ridleys]

And yeah that's fine.

[blowcrapup]

Damn I'm joint 2nd bottom. I didn't relise Iaksson was injured though.

Andreas Isakason - Man City £3m to be placed by Scott Carson - Aston Villa £4.2m

Taking my total to £104.5M I think.

Great job Ridleys

[roberto922]

Solid Start

[Man City Supporter]

Good start. Good.

Transfers: Pedro Mendes - Portsmouth - £4M to be replaced by Gareth Barry - Aston Villa - 5.25M

Taking my value up to £119.25M

Also, can I change my captain? To Fernando Torres please.

[PaulHartman71]

Not a bad start, 5th overall, don't think i'll use any transfers this week.

[chopper99]

I know it's a week late but I'd like to join in anyway.

Ridleys - How often will the updates be?

[jonahno6]

Good update Decent start for me.

[roberto922]

So did I get double points for Rooney because he's my captain?

[chopper99]

By the way Ridleys is there any chance that the two of us who came in a week late can take an average score for the first week? Or even points equal to the lowest score so were not too far behind to catch up?

[roberto922]

No way, IRL fantasy leagues you don't so I don't see why you should in this one

[chopper99]

No way, IRL fantasy leagues you don't so I don't see why you should in this one

You do in the one I'm part of, just makes it more of a fair competition and gives everyone a fair chance, especially if you've been away and have missed the start of the season.

[Ridleys]

To be honest chopper, I wasn't meant to be letting any more people in, so you're the last one for now.

As for the average points thing, I don't think I should do that, because it's your fault for joining late and most fantasy football games that I know of don't use that rule.

[Charlesbeams]

awesome, didnt think i'd be top in the first game week.

KUTGW

[Ridleys]

Ridleys - How often will the updates be?

Probably one or two updates per week.

[JoseRR]

Bit of a bad first week there, with a couple of players not playing. Just have to wait for my front 3 to start banging in the goals before I hit the front !

Fair enough mate, just thought I'd ask.

It matters not though as I will crush you all anyway, even with a 90 point deficit

[canvey!!]

Started well, three 0s though . That's false economy for you. When I saw Aliadiere for £2M, I figured that's a bargain because he'd get me a decent yield of points. Not so far though.

In all honesty I probably should have chosen a 3-5-2, seeing as strikers are very often overpriced. Meh, don't fancy using transfers though - IMO just overcomplicates things. In the fantasy football at the Premier League site, I have Linvoy Primus in my team (due to running low on money) - didn't realise he's coming back from injury and is most likely to be loaned to the Championship until December.

Appreciate the hard work, Ridleys. Great update. How easy/difficult has this been for you to do, just out of interest?

[Ridleys]

It's pretty easy really, even got the next update ready to post

Just need to wait for transfers to see if I need to change the posts at all.

[roberto922]

I'd think the only work would be writing the updates right? Although that would take quite a while counting up all the points and stuff like that. KUTGW

[Ridleys]

Yeah doing the points takes about an hour and a half, everything else doesn't take long at all though.

[Ridleys]

Deadline has been changed to tomorrow, because I'm eager to do an update

[Ridleys]

A reminder that the deadline for transfers is 21:30 Tonight.

[roberto922]

When is the update coming out?

[Ridleys]

Will come some time tonight, have got it all prepared, although I will need to alter it slightly if anybody decides to make changes.

I'll need to upload screenshots and everything as well.

[Ridleys]

1 hour left for transfers.

So then with week to over and done with, Charlesbeams increases his lead at the top to 15. A brilliant week for me, which takes me to 4th place overall. WhoopyD and chopper99 introduced theirselves to the competition with decent scores and markcator3006 as well as roberto922 both scored good points to grab 2nd and 3rd place overall so far.

Transfers

This weeks transfer deadline is Saturday 30th August before 8pm so get all your transfers in before that time! Remember you have 3 transfers to use.

[Charlesbeams]

still top

im thinking of changing Hleb, maybe, how does the whole transfer thing work, and do points get knocked off?

KUTGW!!

[dafuge]

Wow, this took off quickly. I was waiting until the weekend before putting my team in.

Serves me right for not keeping an eye on it, never mind.

[Ridleys]

Nope no points knocked off. Just a straight swap for another player, you must stay under the overall budget of £120m though, so keep that in mind. You also have a limit of 3 transfers per week, so use them wisely.

[Tomaldinho]

Great work Ridleys.

Could I just ask that Torres is given his double points for my team as captain? Also Sagna got 2 points for some teams, 1 point for others.

Cheers!

Take a reserve spot if you want, it seems some people have disappeared already. So I will be keeping my eyes open for anyone that isn't posting.

How would the reserve spots work, would it just be a case of taking on someone else's team?

Sagna was meant to get 1 point and sorry I forgot to double Torres' points, edited them for you

[Ridleys]

Well basically taking their points, but making your own team.

I think starting from 0 points at this stage or later on would make you too far behind.

[jod123]

Just wondering, would it be a good idea to post an injury table with every update so as we know if one of our players has a long-term injury.

Also my team has not started too well. I am not sure whether I will make any transfers as I'd hate it if I took out a player and then he was brilliant.

Anyway, great updates Ridleys. KUTGW.

[roberto922]

I'm still here Ridleys Did you mean that the deadline is 30th August not September (what you put)

[PaulHartman71]

I'm obviously still here

[Whoopy D]

Not a bad start I suppose, shame I didn't get my team in on time, at least I'm not last this time though

Oh yes, forgot about that.

Yes, I did. Made a lot of errors tonight

[Charlesbeams]

im going to make a transfer, but im just wondering about players values going up? what if a players value went up and i couldnt pick him, or someones value went down so i could chose them? or do we just chose the same as the screenshots in the 2nd post?
