Who else here is playing the Barclay's Fantasy Premier League? For those of you who are not familiar with it: Basically you have a starting salary of 100m pounds that you have to spend on a complete team with players from the Premier League (two Goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders and five attackers). Out of your rooster you create a team, which will be rated based on each week's performance of it's real-life counterpart. The players compete against each other in leagues of up to twenty people and you can even win prizes like trips to London to watch a game if you are very high ranked. The points are seperated as followed :
Anybody out here playing? Any secret tips on players to get, or just general tips? Also post your team, I want to know who everybody else is playing.
My Team: GK: Mignolet (SUN) DEF: Shawcross (STK) Cameron (STK) O'Brien (WHU) MID: Johnson (NOR) Townsend (QPR) Bale (TOT) Carzola (ARS) ATT: Weimann (AVL) Suarez (LIV) Lambert (SOU)
Looking forward to your replies!
- Every player gets one point for each 45 minutes he plays. You can assign one player as captain who gets double the points. If a player gets a yellow card, he loses one point, for a red card he loses two.
- For the Goalkeeper: A clean sheet is worth 4 points, three saves are worth 1 point. For every two conceded goals, he loses one points. For a saved penalty, 4 points are added.
- For the Defenders: A clean sheet is worth 4 points as well. A goal gets a defender 6 points. And just like for the goal keeper, for every two conceded goals the defender loses 1 point. Additionally, an assist gives the defender three points.
- For the Midfielders: A clean sheet is worth 1 point. For each goal scored, a midfielder gets 5 points. An assist is worth 3 points.
- For the Attackers: A goal scored is worth 4 points. Per assist, an attacker gets 3 points.
