WEEK ONE - EL MEL MAGNIFICO AND SOME NEW STUFF
First the new stuff: 1. Login by 7.45pm Monday to allocate your Super Duper Captain, or for this week only give me a call and I'll sort it out. This year teams 4-7 get double points for their captain, teams 8-11 get TRIPLE!!
2. Welcome back to the beautiful and bountiful manager Ju and her Lovely Jubblies. Things were a bit flat last year so good to get a bit of bounce back in the league for 2010. Welcome also to a new FFFL Secretary of the South - Monsier Leon Pain who has a chequered history, but a history nonetheless, of managing at the top flight leading Granville Rangers to dream of winning the cup on many occasions.
3. You will be able to add 0-4 new players to your team in the September transfer window. In February you'll have a second chance to add new players to take your squad up to 15. Think tactically. Buy all up front or hold off for new gems and new disasters?? The decision is yours.
4. We now have own goals and 2 managers have already been docked 2 points each for some astoundingly good own goals..
Now it's time for El Mel Magnifico. From a near last place last season manager Mel comes out onto the pitch with something to prove. Never before have we seen 5 pictures of manager Mel adorning these pages and, my god, does it make a wonderful change from the mug of manager Smug. Must be those strikers. But El Magnifico isn't alone in her feminine resplendence. All. Yes ALL of the Pay women take the top 4 spots. Oh how many board meetings surrounded by oak panels and ashen old farts from the FA have I dreamt about writing graphically descriptive editorials of Amazons waging war on the pitch, fighting for their lives, fighting for first place in the FFFL. Oh ye Greek temptresses. I hear thy voices calling to me on the breeze. Wait for me you lovelies. I will be there.
signed Secretary Linus Hibert - Sunday 15th of August 2010 8:05PM
well done Mel!!!! i think this season could be close!!!!
two players sent off!!!! not a good start :-(
and just to think you won the Gary Lineker award in 2009 for fairest playest teamest
Oh it looks like the Jury ended up sending manager Mad Monk Mal de Montpelier down. All the way down to the bottom of the league. HO! Ho!
Hey, be warned, once Mr. Given gets sorted with a club, we,l climb the table faster than a squirel being chased up a tree by my Westies ! You have been warned ,!!!!!!
HAVE YOUR SAY...blah....blah....blah

FFFL rules and regulations
| REASONS WHY PLAYERS GET POINTS | Points |
| For playing in a game | 1 |
| For playing at least 60 minutes in a game (includes playing points mentioned above) | 2 |
| For each goal scored by your goalkeeper or defenders | 6 |
| For each goal scored by your midfielders | 5 |
| For each goal scored by your forwards | 4 |
| For each goal assist | 3 |
| For your goalkeeper / defender conceding 0 goals (must also play at least 60 minutes) | 4 |
| For your midfielder conceding 0 goals (must also play at least 60 minutes) | 1 |
| For every 3 shot saves made by your goalkeeper | 1 |
| For every penalty save | 5 |
| For every penalty miss | -2 |
| Bonus points for the best players in a match | 1-3 |
| For every 2 goals conceded by your goalkeeper or defenders | -1 |
| For every yellow card | -1 |
| For every red card (includes any yellow card points) | -3 |
| For every own goal | -2 |
If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.
Some players scores will not be finalised by the FA when our league tables are updated on Sunday night (e.g. contentious goals, assists and bonus points can sometimes take a couple of days to be decided by the FA). These players will pick up their missing points when the league is updated the following Sunday. This could affect the SDC bonus and result in managers receiving less points than they are owed but this is outwith the control of the FFFL and a risk to all managers therefore no allowance will be made for this and points obtained by the FFFL will be final. This will not affect players in the top 5 who receive no SDC bonus.
THE SUPER-DUPER-CAPTAIN SYSTEM
Positions 1-3 in the league: Single points for your captain
Positions 4-7 in the league: Double points for your super captain
Positions 8-11 in the league: Treble points for for your super duper captain
Managers can change their captain between Sunday at 6pm and Monday at 7.45pm any week of the season. The captain will then be active from Monday 7.45pm until the captain is changed.
TRANSFERS AND SUBSTITUTES
There will be two transfer windows: One in the first half of September. One in the first half of February. In the September window managers will choose up to 4 new players to add to their team. In the February window managers can add more players up to a maximum squad of 15. On both occassions your new players will be added to the subs bench and it will be up to managers, if they are not in the top 3 of the league, to substitute players in their team. Substitutions can be made between Sunday at 6pm and Monday at 7.45pm any week of the season. Teams in the top 3 will not be able to make substitutions. During the transfer windows the manager at the bottom of the league will have first dobs for all players and then we'll move up the league manager by manager. All transfers are free. For managers with tied points the manager with the least played minutes will choose first.
PRIZES
