2008/2009 SEASON

Dear all,



The new season is nearly upon us and it promises to be a cracker! The basic rules of the game are the same as last year but you should note the following: -



The entry deadline is FRIDAY 8 AUGUST. This is a week before the Premier League season starts and will give us a chance to enter all of the teams and get our system set up.

As I will be out of the country on Friday 8 August, please submit your team to me via e-mail using the official entry form.

The entry fee for the full season is €50 and this should be paid to the club Treasurer, Fiona Buckley, in the Department of Government, ORB 2.45.

After submitting your team on Friday 8 August, you can make up to three changes to your selection by 4:30pm on Friday 15 August which will not count as official transfers. However, do not interpret this as meaning that the deadline is the 15th – it is FRIDAY 8 AUGUST.

The budget is £70m and the selection criteria are the same as always, i.e. 2 goalkeepers, 2 full-backs, 2 centre-backs, 4 midfielders and 4 strikers. No more than 2 players can be selected from any one club.

NB. NEW RULE NB. Your team must contain at least ONE player from the trio of newly promoted clubs – Stoke, Hull, and West Brom. At all times throughout the season you must have one player from these clubs. Please note that this is one player in total, not one from each of the three clubs.
