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 Ipswich 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 Note to moderator, if you have one, 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 Peterborough Utd - Rushmere AFC Wimbledon - Stretchyboy Accrington Stanley - Tractor Tim Crawley Town - Johnnywarksmoustache Ipswich Town - LancsYorksHampsLondonITFC Leicester City - Spanish Birmingham City - Mike Holmes1990 Huddersfield T - Tractor Boy Steve Getting Slimmer Shrewsbury Town - CinnamonITFC Blackpool - Dundee Blue Reading - San Diego Man Utd - Thank God I'm a Tractorboy Chelsea - Wellyblue Notts County - Weighty Crimson Plum Norwich - Guru of Ipswich Southampton - DundeeTractorBoy Burnley - JimbobITFC Sheff Utd - King of Portman Rd Plymouth Arg - Pershore Gillingham - Tractorboy No more teams needed
Cheers Thai - Born n bred just a stones throw from Plough lane, so thought it was a fantastic idea what AFC did, and stick two fingers up at the new owners of MK dons!
Well I could just pick United or West Ham or look at the scoring from last season, but I'd rather be cheering on my own club than another
I have stuck with living in the real world and gone for West Ham in our one. I know we are not going to score enough to make any kind of significant impact anywhere on the football radar
