WEEK TWENTYONE - THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SNOW BUSINESS

...like no business I know is happening at all and what's that all about? Yep folks this is one of those partial weeks of football with only a few fixtures played and I'm not pleased. I hate it when the FA cup comes in and interrupts the standard league football. I hate it when I can't sit back on Saturday night and fall asleep in front of the TV watching a decent set of games on Match of the Day. And now I hate it that footballers are too soft to play when the weather's cold. The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said in the paper something like, "we are too pre-occupied by fear", and I have to whole-heartedly agree with the great man. Anyway. Enough of the bad news. Now for some good news:

As temperatures plummet managers Alan and Scott continue their mercurial rise up the league. If Alan makes just 18 points on his rivals next week he'll be up from 10th to 6th. I know he has already made use of the new substitute feature so keep up with the competition and use it too. (Log in before Monday 7.45pm to make changes). The thing is it is so so close in the middle of the league that even single points will make great prizes.

I'm also pleased that manager Nichola is still holding out the Pays from the top 5. He He. And although I don't like to talk about how sweet the Battenburgers are I would like to get manager Simon sweating like an Epping cheesecake stored in a jar by drawing attention to the very small 5 point lead that he now has. OK Alex Ferguson has just called to say my key striker is out but with the transfer window coming in early February I can certainly nick someone before the Cosmos get their sweaty fingers in the mix.

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
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 1-5 in the league: Single points for your captain
Positions 6-10 in the league: Double points for your super captain
Positions 11-14 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. Each window will allow all managers to add up to three new players to their team who will be placed on the substitutes bench. Substitutions can be made between Sunday at 6pm and Monday at 7.45pm any week of the season. Teams in the top 5 will not be able to make substitutions. During the transfer window 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
1st place = £100 smackers
2nd place = £30 smoochies
3rd place = £10 money back
The following managers are tight gits who need to pay up promptly: Steve, Tyler, Nichola, Scott, Dave, Vicky, Mel and the Pieman
