If a moderator could take care of the other thread with the same title, that would be great. This just makes things easier.

NOTE: A player subbed off is still penalised for conceding goals, regardless how long they play. If a player is subbed on after a goal is conceded, they will not receive a clean sheet bonus. The team must have kept a clean sheet after 90 minutes (120 if a cup game goes to Extra Time) for a clean sheet bonus to apply.
Points awarded by The News Of The World only apply to games played on a Saturday.

I'll be updating the league table on a Monday, as that's when The Sun update the scoring. If you'd like a scoring break down for your team for the week, PM me and I'll let you know as soon as I can.

Great, I've been looking forward to this.

I knew my team would be better than dimmufan's

Gabranth does know that Faubert has been ruled out for the first 6 months of the season or w/e, right? or does that not apply here?

August 9, 2007, 6:20 PM

It applies here, as it's based on performances in games that they actually play in. I believe that Faubert's injury is only recent though? Because Gab submitted his team a long time ago. Anyway, if he reads this before Saturday, then he's allowed to make changes to his team. Just PM me.

I'm just hoping Nugent does well this season, I don't think he's scored many this pre-season...

August 15, 2007, 4:41 PM

Alright, I've spent the last three hours setting up a spreadsheet with all the eligible players in, and updating the scores. Serious pain, but it's going to make things a hell of a lot easier in the long run.
And the first league table is up, with me (=D) on top, quite a clear front runner so far. dimmufan; you're waaay behind the rest, but things will pick up. If anyone wants a scoring break down of how their team did (including last night's Tottenham v Everton game) then PM me and I'll get to it as soon as I can.

August 15, 2007, 4:45 PM

Oh can you call my team Gabranth please?

Hmm i'm second not bad considering i don't know much about football

August 15, 2007, 10:21 PM

I've just realised that I made a mistake with the league table. Gabranth somehow got an extra three points from how I worked it out, but I've got an equation set up in the spreadsheet now that calculates everyones scores as I update it. Saves me a lot of time, but it now stands that Gabranth and DR are joint second.

EDIT: Updated for last night's results and DR's overtaken at the top now, and Gabranth has caught up to me a bit. =[
lagunas dream and dimmufan are getting left behind a little, but it's only two game in.

August 16, 2007, 10:40 PM

It's nice to see Grove F.C. at the top

I knew dimmufan's team would be no good

August 17, 2007, 7:22 PM

He's got a half decent team, but there's players like Walcott who I'd take out.

Losing Rooney has totally fuxxed me up. Hopefully my faith in Earnshaw pays off early. I'd be doing far better if Champions League qualifiers counted towards the points. Sadly it's only the CL proper that does.

August 20, 2007, 2:37 PM

Updated again for this weekend's results. DR went clear at the top, lagunas dream and dimmufan scored a shit load of points to catch up, while I barely got anything and I'm rock bottom. Failure. I blame my strikers.
Again, if anyone wants a scoring break down, PM me and I'll get it done as soon as I can.
