How about everybody chucks in twice a season - August and Jan. There's a minimum to maximum amount to put in, depending on how confident you are. Errm... no that won't workThis year at work we have an actual cup*, but I was thinking if I could come up with some way of filling it, preferably with cash but if not then just some kind of treat.
Trouble is I'm struggling to think of a way that will get cash in the cup that people will get into and won't feel like they're being fleeced. So, like, they enjoy whatever gets money in the cup for its own reward, and then the money in the cup is just a bonus. There's also the worry that someone could not contribute and then still win the money, which won't be great
Um, any suggestions?

I was thinking if you have say ten bods signed up you suggest everyone sticks in 4 or 5 quid.A few quid in a kitty will make it more competitive and interesting.So far, about 6

No dialogue. Just plot.
You post on here & were in it last year and probably the year before that etc so of course its ok. I got on my high horse last season about unknowns in the league. Not bothered much about the big one but the H2H is more intimate & we should be able to fill it with Urbanites only. Makes the chat more fun.

Each week you're pitted against someone else in the league, you win the 'match' if you score more GW points than your opposition. Then it's just a normal league structure where win = 3 points, draw = 1 point, loss = 0 points.

I'm trying to avoid any kind of entry fee; ideally it'd be something where the cash is a by-product of some fun. Think I might be looking for something that isn't possible.

How do i join the H2H or am i already in? Not great at this stuff.

Just put the code in like joining a normal private league, so long as there are places left.

It's certainly one of the biggest questions when putting a team together. This video discusses the theory and why it might be a good idea

Possible to do both, or nearly anyway/ I've currently got Ageuro+ Costa up front + Ozil, De Bruyne Toure and Fabregas in midfield. Probably swap toure for hazard and costa for someone costing 7.5/8 though.

Yipchaa!
who do you have in deff ?

Stones, Souare (palace one) Soares (soto one) Fernandez and evans. And there's another 1 point sitting there between stones and Soares that i could utilise if need be. I am breaking my usual rule of one premium defender this season.

I have changed my team twice since yesterday.I need to stop reading the "experts" views for the oncoming season.I could have 5 players they may not start a game .I need about £180m and 10 more spaces in my squad

you can make as many changes as you like with no penalty until the deadline which will be the morning of the first premier league matches
i wouldn't worry too much yet.
there will be players transferred in / out of the premier league, players injured or falling out with their managers before the start of the season yet.
just don't forget to do the final tinkering!

Thanks.Iirc there was an option of changing your whole squad last season after a few games.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
You have two Wildcards (which gives you as many transfers as you like for that gameweek with no points penalty) - one in the first half of the season, one after January.
So you can use the first one at any point up to January, but you can only use it once. I think most do use it a few weeks into the season once they've seen how teams are playing, but I try and hold onto mine for reasons I don't quite know.

Wildcard was the word i was looking for ta. I used it early last season because nearly everyone in our league had the same team.

My philosophy with wildcards is to use the first one whenever you like. But try to save the second one for use in the run-up to any double game weeks that occur near the end of the season. But I am biased on this front by my experience last season, which was the first season I played. I got stupidly high points on both double game weeks. But I doubt I can quite repeat that, I got 184 points one week ffs, how will I ever better that?

Right now my team for this year is probably all wrong. I'm spending too much on defence and have too many players that are new to the premiere league. I don't mind risking this for the first few weeks but I probably shouldn't trap so much money in my defenders as I'll end up having to make so many transfers to free up cash if I need to fix my midfield or strikers in a hurry.

I've been using this page to get an idea of how various players are doing in pre-season.

I pursued this strategy last season with three cheaper strikers instead of two of the big names. I didn't do very well.
