I am going to try and get this running on the Norwich board and want to try it on here as well as there are plenty of Jacks here. For a bit of fun, over the course of the next season, I want to run a league along side the real football leagues but with a slight twist. How it works. 1. Each person chooses 1 team (any team) from any of the top 4 leagues in England. 2. Each team can only be nominated once on a first come, first served basis 3. You can not change your team until the end of the season, ready for the next season (if it proves sucessful and/or worthwhile) 4. There are no prizes - it's for fun. 5. Only open to Swansea fans Only league games scores are counted, not cup games. Points system. As with the current leagues in England it's 3 points for a win 0 points for a defeat 1 point for a draw As their are only 20 teams in the Premier League, for this to work the fun league needs to be restricted to 20 teams and team will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Based on the chosen teams, a fixture list will be created where each team will play each other twice Each time a team plays, their score will be allocated to the team in this fun league (League games only). For example Wigan Ath v Norwich on the first day of the season. Real scoreline on the day is 2-2. Wigan would be credited with 2 goals as would Norwich However, in the fun league Wigan might be playing Wycombe! (if anyone chooses them) And Wycombe (if anyone chooses them) score 3 goals in their first game. The fun league result would then be Wycombe 3-2 Wigan Ath and Wycombe would get the 3 points - Follow? It might get a bit messy around January when the FA Cup overlaps league games but it should not be too much of an issue. If a real game is postponed, those teams next league games will count in the fun league - still follow? I will post fixtures on each Friday on this forum. Updated results, and the league table will be posted the following Monday Hope you will have a go and support this effort. If interested please enter your chosen name by replying to this thread Phil, if the league takes off, could it be made a 'sticky' post? Any questions or suggestions to improve it are welcome So far the following teams have been chosen Division One Crawley Town - Mustyfrog Birmingham City - JackAsh Middlesbrough - Beppeswan Leeds Utd - Scottswan Southampton - Swainseye Millwall - TycochSwan Chelsea - Doey Crewe Alex - Aswan Dam Stevenage - Up The Jacks Exeter City - JackSwan Reading - Jager Nott'm Forest - ToL1D7 Brighton & H A - Andyofsa6 Liverpool - Swantastic Blackpool - RW Jack Man Utd - JamieT567 Tottenham H - Neveroffsidereff Arsenal - Mr Gullible Leicester City - Jackdan West Ham Utd - PremierPaul Division Two Cardiff City - Rhysj1 Peterborough Utd - Superswan99 Charlton Ath - Trundles Left Foot Yeovil - MabonJack Plymouth Argyle - Crackerjack Burnley - Joe Allen's short man syndrome Man City - Toinfinityand beyond S****horpe Utd - MaidenheadJack Swansea City - Coma Cat Sheff Utd - Nathswans Wimbledon - scumarexxxx Preston N E - johnstonjack Rochdale - Gary Monk's right foot block Swindon T - Rubik's Tube Sunderland - Dropagrogan Gillingham - Flyingwedgees Carlisle - Apewoman Portsmouth - Brownman Newcastle - Falseteeth Fulham - Rex Hunt League is now Full
You got 'em. Would have been a good one for last season. Not so sure about this time round but you never know in the Championship
