  • To select a player to buy, click on the `Select a player to buy' drop down list. Click on your selected player. Click Buy. It will appear in green. Repeat for your other 13 players. Make sure you buy 14 (different) players.
  • To remove a buy selection uncheck the `buy' checkbox.
  • In the Picks column, ensure 7 players have their box ticked for your players to play in week 1.
  • You can move selections around dragging the six dots (left hand side) up and down to change the order.
  • Save Changes. If there any errors with your selection the errors will appear in black at the top of the page. Make sure you clear all errors after you save for the team to register on the site.  
  • Your team will then be entered directly onto the site automatically. This is draft until the deadline is reached (Season Start - end of pre season on the diary).
  • You can amend these selections as many times as you like up until the deadline
  • To change your selections - click on `sell' box for the appropriate player/team and buy a player/team to replace in the same way as above. Make sure you save for it to register. In pre season these do not count towards your allocated transfers, they are free swops.
  • Nobody can see your team only you, the administrator will know who has saved a draft team within the backend but that will be all. Check out the Managers Overview to see who is entered, saved a draft team and how many times they changed their draft team in pre season.

Managing Your Team

This will be mainly done via the Manage, Selections and Picks menu.

  • Here you can see your current team, how many transfers (attack and defence) you have used and pick your team each week using the Pick column.
  • Similarly you can check out any of your opponents teams, especially useful towards the end of the month and during the cup competitions.
  • Club and Player Lists - these will show you how many times each has been selected and an average number of goals scored or conceded by each. By clicking on each player/club you can see each weekly goals scored or conceded, totals for last season and who owns a particular player/club. This will be useful when planning transfers.
  • You can flick between the player and team lists by clicking on the link within each page. Also very useful you can click on the headings in each table and sort the data. So if you looking for a player, sort by name or a list of the players for each club sort by club etc. You could even sort by average goals to see who is doing the best.
  • Check out the Managers Overview, summarising transfer details for each competitor, how weekly changes they have made and team values.
  • Check out the Managers Similarity table, it will tell who has the same selections as you.
  • Check out the Season Stats section, for some interesting best and worst stats.
  • Compare yourself to your nearest rival or the person you just have beat in the Head to Head section. Here you can see a graphical representation of yours/or anyone elses season. 
  • Check out the transfer log and picks log for all the latest changes everyone is making. The very latest transfers will also be shown on the homepage.
  • News - check out what is going on in the world of real football. Has your player been dropped through lack of form? Is he being rested for that big European night midweek? Has he got a one match suspension after that stupid booking in the last match?  Has he tweaked a hamstring and will be out for 3 weeks?  You will need to know all this when selecting your team each week.
  • Links - this page on the home page allows you to move off onto the internet via some selected pages for further information - BBC football or Sky Sports for all things footy related, Physioroom to check on the latest injuries, Soccerbase for the latest statistics / fixtures etc.
