WEEK TEN - A TALE OF TWO VAN MEN

...Having lost our supreme secretary of the North to a fabulous family fun day in the deep South, it falls to me to provide a few words of reflection on the weekend highlights.

No surprises then to this week's non-Chilean stars. Our defending champion, Manager Simon, forces his way back into contention on a tide of testosterone driven by his very own Van Man - Captain Van De Vaart! An inspired piece of transfer window dealing has beefed up Manager Simon's otherwise lightweight midfield to reignite memories of his highly successful midfield of last season who, in the close season, moved on to what was to have been a sweeter life with the battenburgers - time yet?

So Manager Mel can now feel Simon's hot breath as he moves up closer to her - but she's used to that anyway!

As for the rest of us chasing pack, we continue to tumble along in no particular order but all in with a definite shout.

Finally, you might believe Robert Green's fumble in Rustenberg was the biggest goalkeeping howler you could see. Not so - if you witnessed my own Van Man (of the De Sar variety) on Saturday handing the ball to a WBA opponent to knock into his net.

C'est la vie et bon nuit

FFFL rules and regulations
REASONS WHY PLAYERS GET POINTSPoints
For playing in a game1
For playing at least 60 minutes in a game (includes playing points mentioned above)2
For each goal scored by your goalkeeper or defenders6
For each goal scored by your midfielders5
For each goal scored by your forwards4
For each goal assist3
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 goalkeeper1
For every penalty save5
For every penalty miss-2
Bonus points for the best players in a match1-3
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
