Another team walking to the title (well done to Wanderers) this season, but isn't it getting a bit predictable?! I can't remember for certain, but vaguely recall if it was mooted some time ago about looking at moving the ANY role about instead of having a fixed player all season long?! Just an idea off the top of my head; @gooner4lifecould be the ANY for City against Wanderers in the first two fixtures of the season, but he wouldn't be able to be the ANY in the resulting second and third fixtures against them. Manager would then have a decision to make regarding who would be the best ANY for certain fixtures. So in theory you would have at least 3 different ANYs throughout the course of a season, but they couldn't appear in the ANY role against the same team more than once (i.e. home/away fixture). I dunno, probably me getting old and tired of the game, but interested to see if it's something that might gain traction.

Another season of pain/glory (delete as appropriate) awaits. Due to the way the Christmas break gets in the way of the schedule, we'll be skipping the pre-season cup and the first league fixtures will commence on the 7th January. If you are up for the challenge, please stick your name down below! There are also likely to be gaps for managing next season, so please also step up. Existing managers: Please post if you're staying in the role! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two changes of note for our 1/3rd centenary: Team selection changes As outlined in the thread, there will be a player run team selection process in place which aims to increase manager participation and give us all something to follow when the mince pies have taken their toll. Real team look and feel changes This was a qualified success, with some great efforts by the player base to get in the spirit of the changes and embrace the idea tempered by some restrictions which led to a few minor issues. The following tweaks will be made to improve the ruleset: * players will for next season be able to use any of the listed positions for their player rather than just sticking with one. * Also, at the half way point managers will be able to juggle things around and change who has which players. * Finally, this is now a normal part of the league so infractions will be deemed serious enough for monetary(* if the team selection process supports it) or points deductions for teams that field ineligible players. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The league is nothing without you (yes, even you!), so thank you for your continued support. As always, I'm happy to hear and discuss ideas for how we can keep the league in place for all our enjoyment/hatred.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. It's all change with a new game, a new season and a new approach. The season kicks off on the 1st October. If you are up for the challenge, please stick your name down below! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two major changes that'll be in effect for our 32nd (!) Season.. Team selection shake-up Firstly, the team selection will be changed and we're moving away from the auction night. I know it's been popular over the years, but it's also been a bit of a hinderance to any change of approach. My aim is to keep it relatively simple, but also ensure managers get to have a bit of fun with it. Valuing players This will be based on their BAP Index (performance) and their Player of the Season showing. The exact method is to be determined, but the end result will be a value per player between 4m and 20m. Funding teams Teams are given funds. This will be 1/4th of the overall value of the players in the season. Managers pay for their own contracts. Bidding windows There will then be four 24hr closed bidding window. Managers are presented with a selection of players with which to submit a closed bid on. They will have a min/max number of players they can have in their team that they are to adhere to. There will be a minimum bid amount associated with each player. New/returning players will be given a list price based on my judgement. At the end of each of the first three windows, the managers who have bid the highest get their players. Any players who didn't get a bid goes to the final pot for a last chance. Any players still not bought after the last window closes will be assigned to teams. Real team look and feel Already voted on by the players, this change can be summed up as: Managers pick a real life team to represent their club before the draft/auction. Before the first competitive match, managers have ensured all players have transformed their pro into one of the chosen team's players. That means their pro: * has the same height * has the same weight * has the same position * has been altered to resemble the RL player they are to represent Players must stick with that pro for the entire season. They can be played in other areas, but must retain the above attributes. (eg a RB can be played at RM, but he will still be a RB!) The available teams and information regarding the stats etc will be made known to the players prior to the start of the season.

We've only got 1 more week of league fixtures on the 360 version, so it's time to start taking names for the new era for the league, on PS4. I suspect we'll only have 4 teams to begin with (Athletic, Town, United, City) due to numbers, but we'll see what kind of response we get and take it from there. Other than the change of platform, season length (due to less teams) and the likelihood that we'll treat this as a new version (ie draft, rather than auction) I don't think anything else will change on the format side of things. All TBC, of course. So pop your name down and we'll see what happens! League Info: Thursdays at 10pm. Uses the Pro Clubs mode. Expected start date: Late January to early Febuary

fantasybapleague Top Row- Outsider(£14.3), Meerkat(£14.2), Jamin(£18.7) Bottom Row- LittleJoe(£17.7), Smithstock(£11.4), Mitchell(£11.4) & Al(£9.2) Welcome one and all! Its time to test your managerial metal, do you have what it takes to put together a winning team!? I am sure you are all well aware of fantasy football and how it works (similar to www.fantasy.premierleague.com), for those of you who are not familiar, in simple terms you are given a budget to put together a team of players who all play in the same competition, you are then awarded points based on their performances (Full details of points awards in below). It's as simple as that! I'll be looking to do weekly updates, Mike has kindly offered his time to produce a page on the website which will make this all possible.. HOW IT WORKS BUDGET You have 100M to build your team of 10, The values are taken from the site (www.rllmukbapleague.com) and slightly adjusted (All by the same sum) to accommodate the 100M budget. FORMATIONS Based on the players stated position who you pick you must use one of the formations stated. Defense-Midfield-Attack: 4-4-2 4-5-1 4-3-3 3-4-3 3-5-2 5-4-1 5-3-2 In other words: -You can only have 3-5 Defenders as a minimum-maximum -You can only have 3-5 Midfielders as a minimum-maximum -You can only have 1-3 Forwards as a minimum-maximum The total number of players obviously being 10. PICKING LIMITATIONS You can only have a maximum of 3 players from each BAP team, for those who are thinking about it, yes, you can choose yourselves you self indulgent so and so's. AWARD POINTS Appearance +2 Clean sheet as a defender +6 Clean sheet as a midfielder +3 Assist +3 Goal as a defender +6 Goal as a Midfielder +5 Goal as an Attacker +4 Best Defender/Midfielder/Attacker +2 Team of the Week Appearance +2 Yellow Card -2 Red Card -5 POSITIONS Players set positions have been assigned based on best guesswork, so more likely than not there will be players who are down as defenders but will mostly play in midfield this season. Etc. Regardless of what position your player is grouped into (def/mid/str) he will play he will be awarded points based on the position he actually plays in game, that week. Example – You buy Mitchell who is a defender by trade, he plays upfront this week instead, he will not be awarded a defenders points (+6) if he was to score a goal, he would be awarded what an attacker (+4) would received as that's the position he played when he scored the goal. In a same sense if his team was to keep a clean sheet whilst he is playing upfront he will not be awarded a clean sheet bonus and so on. THE ANY! An any player will have their points divided by their total number of appearance then multiplied by the total number of games played in the league by each team to date. Example – Pompey plays the any in week one, he has two players per game, so that's 4 appearances in total, his overall score will be divided by 4 and then multiplied by the total number of games played (2) to negate any advantage gained. The only time an any will have an advantage is if he was to miss a week it wouldn't be taken into account, example. If he failed to turn up in week two his score will be divided by 4 and then multiplied by 4. CAPTAIN Your captain will get double the award points, choose wisely! It will make all the difference. TRANSFERS There will be a opportunity to adjust up to 3 players in your team post week 5 fixtures, pre week 6 fixtures. Where you can transfer up to 3 players out of your team and obviously sticking within the limitations of your budget transfer up to 3 replacements in. AWARD Our winner will be supplied with a fantastic trophy.jpeg which I will find via Google images and not only this, they will also be awarded with the smug self satisfaction of being Fantasy BAP League Champion. BUILD YOUR TEAM Right, so now its time to put your team together please save the spreadsheet below and send it to my email address j*a*m*e*s.*l*.s*t*e*e*l@gmail.com (remove the "'s) https://docs.google....MkIyVkt4ZUNhOVE Things to remember: -Your Budget. -You cant have more than 3 players per team. -You must use a standard formation. -Choose a captain.

We're still a couple of weeks away from the end of the season, but sooner managers know who they have to work with the better. Please yay or nay below.
