LOL, I want in!   

 

I'm going to select all non Chelsea players and have people call me all different types of names!   

I wonder if Abramovich plays?

It says the season is finished?

It will kick off as soon lol

I'm in :D

Nice one.

 

I'll make my team closer to the time.

Threw my hat into the ring as well as captain jacks XI, done OK last year but my son beat me by 14 points now that was a sickener.

When does the website get updated for this season so we can pick teams etc?

Its updated now.

 

Hazard looks must have at 9.5

 

No De Bruyne for some reason, he'll be added later I guess.

Didn't do too well last season, but I'll throw my hat in all the same.

 

 

The code to join the league isn't valid, apparently.

This is not a valid league code. Please enter another code or check the code with the league administrator.

------------------------Mignolet

 

--------Zabaleta----Ferdinand----Vertonghen

 

------------------Paulinho--Ramires 

----------------------Fernandinho

Bale©---------------------------------------Coutinho

 

--------------Lukaku-----------Benteke

 

Subs: Given, McShane, Gabbidon, Gueye

 

 

Obviously in the game it's a 352, but this is how it would look if they were all in the same team in real life.

Telling me the code is invalid

 

Introducing the Bonus Points System (BPS)

Prior to The Scout’s return at the end of July, we wanted to draw your attention to the new Bonus Points System (BPS) that has been created exclusively for Fantasy Premier League and makes its debut in this season’s game.

Utilising a range of statistics to create a BPS score for every player, the system is designed to reward contributions of players that may not necessarily earn traditional fantasy points, rather than re-reward players that already score handsomely against the current scoring criteria.

At the end of each match, a BPS will be generated for every player that has participated in any of the Gameweek’s matches. This will be the total cumulative number of points scored using the criteria outlined below – ranging from 1 point for playing in a match to 3 points for every player with pass completion accuracy over 90%.

The three best performing players in each match according to the BPS will be awarded bonus points. 3 points will be awarded to the highest scoring player, 2 to the second best and 1 to the third.

Examples of how bonus point ties will be resolved are as follows:

• If there is a tie for first place, Players 1 & 2 will receive 3 points each and Player 3 will receive 1 point.
• If there is a tie for second place, Player 1 will receive 3 points and Players 2 and 3 will receive 2 points each.
• If there is a tie for third place, Player 1 will receive 3 points, Player 2 will receive 2 points and Players 3 & 4 will receive 1 point each.

How is the BPS score calculated?

Players score BPS points based on the following statistics (one point for each unless otherwise stated):

• Playing in a match
• Playing over 60 minutes
• Scoring goals
  • Goalkeepers and defenders (4 points)
  • Midfielders (6 points)
  • Fowards (8 points)
• Assists (3 points)
• Goalkeepers and defenders keeping a clean sheet (4 points)
• Saving a penalty (5 points)
• For every 3 saves
• For every 3 open play crosses
• Creating a big chance (a chance where the receiving player should score)
• For every 8 clearances, blocks and interceptions (total)
• For every 8 recoveries
• Providing key passes
• Making 3 tackles
• Scoring the goal that wins a match
• Pass Completion (after making at least 30 passes)
  • 70% completion (1 point)
  • 80% completion (2 points)
  • 90% completion (3 points)

Players lose BPS points based on the following statistics (one point for each unless otherwise stated):

• Conceding a penalty
• Missing a penalty (-2 points)
• For every 2 goals conceded by goalkeepers and defenders
• Yellow cards
• Red cards (-3 points)
• Own goals (-2 points)
• Missing a big chance
• Making an error which leads to a goal
• Every 2 errors leading to an attempt at goal
• Being tackled 3 times
• Conceding 2 fouls
• Being caught offside 3 times
• Missing the target with 3 shots

 

 

 

 

Glad to see they finally fixed the official fantasy league. It was too luck based in the past on whoever managed to get the assist and goals. This is much fairer.

How do you paste/link that?!

You'll have to take your own screenie and upload it.

A ploy to get 4 Chelsea players in Lofty? Although only one of the two strikers would surely start... unless Jose wants to really start with a bang!

 

Ha, no doubt if that were to happen I'd be forced to drop one.

Sorry guys this is the right code.

Cheers, I'm in.

Let the games begin!
