Wycombe Wanderers Fun League

I am going to try and get this running on the Norwich board, as well as a few others and want to try it on here as well as there are plenty of fans 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 Wycombe 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.

Can I be Peterborough, on the basis that they score plenty of goals!

Surprised Rocky hasn't chosen Spurs. I'll have to go for Arsenal or Chelsea. As I couldn't be cheering Chelsea to score goals I'm going for Arsenal, if still available.

Yes, I can make it a sticky.
