How To Play
Once registered, you may enter the Contest by first selecting a team name and then submitting an eleven (11) player team from the list of players located online, which is your entry. When selecting a team of 11, you must remain under the £100 million budget. In addition, no more than three (3) players from the same team can be selected. Player position listings are final and will not change during the course of the Contest.

You may select between two different formations: 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. Each formation must consist of:

4-4-2
1 Goalkeeper
4 Defenders
4 Midfielders
2 Strikers
4-3-3
1 Goalkeeper
4 Defenders
3 Midfielders
3 Strikers


Regardless of the formation selected, all 11 player values may not ever exceed the £100 million budget.

Contest Weeks
The Contest consists of 34 Contest weekly periods ("Contest Week 1", "Contest Week 2", etc., collectively "Contest Weeks"). All Contest Weeks, will begin on Saturday, and end on the following Friday.

Player Transfers


Prior to the start of the start of the season, you may make unlimited transfers to your team. Once the first match of the season starts, each team is limited to a total of 30 transfers for the entire season.

In addition, no more than four (4) transfers may be made in any one Contest Week (Tuesday through Monday). You may transfer players in and out of your team as many times in a week as long as you remain under the £100 million budget, do not exceed 4 total transfers and use either a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 formation at all times. Once you've made 30 transfers, your team will be locked and cannot change the rest of the season.

All transfers must be completed 5 minutes prior to the start of the first match of week to be eligible for that Contest Week. Once the first match starts, your team for that Contest Week is locked and you can make transfers again the following Tuesday.

Attempts to make transfers which would result in the combined value for all players on a user's team to exceed the £100,000,000 budget will be rejected.
