And here we go again! The second season of the younger brother to GreyDesk's inestimable football competition is now underway. We have a full complement this season, so I'm afraid I cannot let anyone else on board.
If you want to see how everyone got on in the first season, check out the final standings here.
Scoring
| Goal (Striker) | 3 |
| Goal (Midfielder) | 4 |

| Assist | 2 |
| Clean Sheet (GK) | 5 |
| Clean Sheet (Defence) | 3 |

| Red Card | -3 |
Further Transfers
Any manager may bid for players at any time by sending an email naming the requisite player and your bidding price. The League, however, has the right to place a fixed minimum (reserve) price on any player. Once I've received your bid, I'll post the player but not the price to the forums below and give the rest of the league a short period (probably until the next round of Premiership matches) to bid.
You may offer players from any position instead of or in addition to whatever cash you may still hold, but the league will fix the price, depending on that player's original purchase price, and how many points they have scored.
All the players still eligible are listed on the pages linked below. If you're after a new player not on the list, let me know and I'll add them:
Goalkeepers | Defenders | Midfielders | Strikers
Players are free to make transfers among themselves at any time, fixing their own prices and so on. Every transfer must be confirmed by an email to the League Chair, otherwise I can't convert the page.
My email address is ben dot bateson at gmail dot com. For the sake of simplicity, please put Phantasy Phootball, or something similar, in the subject line.
Important: Make sure you subscribe to this page. Once the season is underway, all transfer announcements will also appear in threads on this page.
The Teams (in League Order)
NB: The 'Total Points' column does not necessarily concur with the total points gained by that player this season. Instead it is the total points for that position which may have been filled by any number of players, according to the manager's penchant for transfers.
