1. Registration |
|
Applications to participate in
Philpott's Phantasy Football League (PPFL) can be made
by at www.ppfl.co.uk |
|
2. Manager Details |
|
Managers are required to supply
their name; to choose a name for their team (this can be
any combination of letters up to 40 characters - but not
including special characters such as ! & * etc). The
Judges reserve the right to disqualify any team name
which, in their opinion, is obscene, racist or likely to
cause offence. |
|
3. Picking a Squad |
|
The Manager is required to
purchase a squad of 11 players and a manager, with a
collective value not exceeding £51 million. This squad
must consist of 1 goalkeeper, 4 defenders, 3
midfielders, 3 strikers and a manager (for 4-3-3
formation) or 1 goalkeeper, 4 defenders, 4 midfielders
and 2 strikers and 1 manager (for 4-4-2 formation). |
|
The 18 transfers may be made at
anytime throughout the season(with a limit of 3 per
calendar month), but must be submitted before kick-off
to score points. This feature gives Managers the chance
to make transfers to account for injuries, suspensions
and lack of form. Transfers can only be made Monday to
Friday of each week during the season. |
|
4. Making Transfers |
|
During the course of the PPFL
season, a Manager has the right to transfer up to 18
players. |
|
These transfers can be made at any
time and newly-bought players are eligible for selection
immediately after the transfer is complete. |
|
A maximum of 3 of your transfer
allocation can be made in any one calendar month. |
|
If a player moves between clubs in
the Premiership, any PPFL teams containing that player
will be unaffected and the player in question will
continue to score points for such PPFL teams despite
playing for his new Premiership club. You may therefore
continue to employ him while at his new club or transfer
him out if you no longer wish to keep him. |
|
If a player in your squad leaves
the Premiership you must sell him and buy a replacement
to avoid losing out on potential points. |
|
Subject to the overall criteria,
there is no limit to the number of players you can buy
from any one Premiership club. |
|
Transfers can be made to change
the formation of your team to 4-4-2 from 4-3-3 and vice
versa. |
|
5. Scoring |

The points for players playing in
weekend matches (Saturday thru to Monday) will be
calculated and credited to managers by lunchtime (UK
time) on the subsequent Wednesday. The points for
players playing in weekday games (Tuesday thru to
Friday) will be calculated and credited to managers'
team totals by mid-afternoon the following Wednesday. |
