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.

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.

[sunny_cat]

Actually it's 6 midfielders and 6 defenders.

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