How to Play Fantasy Football

Study the player list carefully and select your 11 players using the following rules:

  1. Select teams in a 1-4-3-3 formation (1 Goalkeeper, 4 Defenders, 3 Midfielders and 3 Strikers).

  2. Players must be selected in the positions attributed to them in the official You The Manager player lists. A player can only be selected in a team once - player duplication is not permitted.

  3. The combined value of your 11 players must not exceed £60m.

  4. There is a limit of 3 players that you can select from any one team - and you must stay within the budget of £60m. If a player moves to another Premier League club during the course of the season they will remain with their original club for the purposes of You The Manager. Remember the transfer amnesty is in place until 12:00 midday on Saturday August 16th.

  5. To start scoring from the very start of the season you'll need to register by 12.00 midday on Saturday 16th August 2008. You can register a team later than this but it won't start scoring until the next cut-off / team freeze. There is a weekly cut-off / team freeze which is 12:00 midday every Saturday.

  6. You can enter as many teams as you like.

  7. Internet and phone registration will remain open until Sunday May 24th 2009.
Transfers
There are NO TRANSFER WINDOWS in You The Manager 2008/09. Each team will be able to use up to 15 transfers throughout the course of the competition. You can start to make transfers during the season on the 1st September 2008. Transfers operate on a weekly basis with one cut-off / team freeze at 12:00 midday on Saturdays.

NB. If you register on the Internet and pre-pay for transfers you'll save £4.50!

Remember - When you transfer a player out their points contribution to your team is frozen. No points from new players, accumulated prior to the transfer, will be added to your overall team score.

How can I make transfers? Depends how you registered:
Internet £8: Internet only. No additional cost.
Internet £5: Internet or Phone. 50p per transfer.
Telephone: Internet or Phone
Coupon: Internet or Phone (see confirmation letter)

How to use the Internet Transfer Service:
Just login using your email address and password, click on your team name and then click on Transfers in the left hand menu. The cost is 50p per transfer with a minimum payment of £2. You do not need to make four transfers with your £2. Instead they will be stored to your account as credits, and you can make transfers with these credits at any time throughout the season.

How to use the Telephone Transfer Service:
Phone the relevant number below and follow the simple instructions. Remember to have your Team PIN and player codes at hand. Make sure you stick within the £60m budget AT ALL TIMES. Check the player lists (located on the left-hand menu on the site) for player codes and values. All UK calls cost 75p/min and ROI calls cost 125c/min. Estimated call duration is one minute and twenty seconds for 2 transfers. Charges are from a standard BT landline, calls from mobiles and public payphones can be charged at a higher rate.

There will be a Transfer Amnesty prior to the start of the season (deadline is 12:00 midday on August 16th). If one of your selected players gets injured or you decide you'd prefer another player in your line-up you will be able to carry out that transfer provided it's made prior to the season starting. NB. This will not affect your allowance of 15 transfers for use during the competition. There will be no extra cost if you make the transfer(s) online. If you make transfer(s) via the phone the normal costs will apply.
