They give attacking and defending bonuses. Goals score. Assists score. Shutout bonuses for defenders, midfielders, and keepers. You get a point for playing. Two points for playing 60 + minutes.

Zusi and Collin were two of the best fantasy players all season.

I'm going to create a league. People can join when they get around to it.

Tobias, would you rather have a head-to-head league or a classic league (just adding up total scores each week). If we have enough people, I want head-to-head.

can you change the format before the season starts? if you can i say you start at classic but change if we get 6 or more.

I'm not sure. I was in two with the same people, different formats last year. I'll see if I can find out.

Just texted my friend. Doesn't think we can change the format.

I'll wait till we get a head count to create it.

So far:

Kyle Miller (KC native who was recently waived by SKC) and Cyprian Hedrick (draft pick a couple years ago who was waived) both just signed for OKC.

Here's the link to create your teams. I'll just hold off on creating the league for awhile till we get more people.

EDIT: Also, there's unlimited transfers until March 8, so when you set your team, you can still swap out players. Once the season starts you're only allowed 2-3 transfers per week (unless you use your wildcard) without penalty (negative 4 points per transfer).

so can we have the same players as other people in the league? is it just a free for all with the budget amount of players?

Yes. You're given $120m to spend on 2 goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders, and four forwards.

You captain a player and that player gets his point total doubled.
