Above our the rules on scoring points and what points are given and taken away when a player meets this rule.

Player rules!

Players who appear in the official Forum-For-Football Fantasy Football League list score points in Premier League, Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Cup and Carling Cup matches from Saturday August 9th 2008 until the final game of the season.

During this time we will run three different Fantasy Football Leagues. Qualifying rounds for the Champions League and UEFA Cup do NOT count. Players not picked for ANY reason score zero points for each game they miss.

Goal scored & three or more goals scored!

Five points will be awarded to players who score a goal, if a player scores three or more goals in a single game that player will receive an extra five points.

A player who has been awarded points as described above will retain those points regardless of whether a goal is attributed to another player at a later date.

Any player who is subsequently awarded a goal will not receive the points retrospectively, nor will the original scorer lose points.

Star man!

Five points will be awarded to the star man who we feel was the best player in the match.

For this we will take into account each players overall performance within that perticular match. The player we feel had the best overall performance will get the star man award.

Keeping a clean sheet & saving a penalty!

Five points will be awarded to goalkeepers and defenders who keep clean sheets in their matches, midfielders who keep clean sheets will receive Two points and Three points will be awarded to goalkeepers who save penalties.

Goals conceded & bookings!

If a goalkeeper or defender concede one goal, they score no points (unless rated over 7 or more), two goals conceded -1, three goals conceded -2 and so on.

Any player who is booked will receive minus One points, also any player who is given a red card will receive minus Three points.

Any player that loses points for a booking or sending off will not have those points reinstated if the offence is rescinded on appeal.

Substitutes

Any player who comes on a substitute at any time scores or loses points as if he had played the whole match.

Players subbed off also score or lose points in normal fashion regardless of how long they were on the pitch.

Player transfers

Any player transferred from one Premier League club to another continues to score points in his team.

For the purposes of the game, the player will stay registered with his original club.

If a player leaves the Premier League, his points are frozen until such a time that he returns.

General match rules

The rules remain the same for games involving extra-time/injury time. A match that is 0-0 after 90 minutes/injury time must be 0-0 after extra-time for keepers, defenders and midfielders to keep clean sheets.

Penalty shootouts do NOT count towards clean sheets, penalty saves or goals scored. Replays are counted as separate games.
