This is the cup competition to run aside the league, there will be two groups and the top four in each of them after playing all the other teams in their league qualify for the quarter-finals. Squad selection rules are slightly different to the league and will test your skill at picking out bargains. You are required to select 2 GKs, 5 Defenders, 5 Midfielders and 3 Forwards only ONE player from each club. You start with a budget of £90 million, so select your players wisely as there will only be one transfer window at the end of the group stages. The scoring will be the same as the league, here is a reminder of the rules. Scoring Any player scores = 1 goal added to your match total Every second assist from the defence and midfield = 1 goal added to your total score, ie 2 assists from the defence and midfield = 1 goal added to your total score 4 assists from the defence and midfield = 2 goals added to your total score 6 or more assists from the defence and midfield = 3 goals added to your total score (Only assists from Defenders and Midfielders will count) Keeper concedes 0 - 1 goal = 0 goals added to the opponents total score 2 - 3 goals = 1 goal added to the opponents total score 4 or more = 2 goals added to the opponents total score If the Keeper you select does not play in the match, it is an automatic goal added to the opponent's total score Back Four concede 0 - 4 goals = 0 goals added to the opponents total score 5 - 8 goals = 1 goal added to the opponents total score 9 or more = 2 goals added to the opponents total score Every Defender that you select that does not play will mean an automatic 3 goals to your defence's collective total. Every time a player receives a red card that is a goal added to the opponent's score. I will take all information for scorers and assists from the BBC website. Match Points The match totals will be added up and if you score more goals than your opponent you will get 3 points for a win. Level scores is 1 point each. You receive no points if you score less than your opponent.
