Welcome to the first update of a new season of Fantasy Non-League. Today's update covers the period Saturday 4th August 2018 through to Saturday 8th September 2018. Well here we go again!! Welcome aboard another Fantasy Non-League journey.
It's an adventure that will take us all the way through to May 2019 and the end of the season. There will be lots of bumps on the way and I am sure you have experienced quite a few already.
If you are new to the game? Welcome I can promise you a great ride. I really think this is going to be the best FNL season ever, the introduction of the FNL Jokers and the minus points for a defeat are going to make it very interesting and unpredictable. So good luck to you all!
As always at the start of the FNL season we begin with an appeal, if you can't find your team or I have miss-spelt it please get in touch with the FNL Helpdesk (not the paper please). Can I, however, ask you not to get in contact until after you have seen the full table on-line (please note that the full table will not be online for a couple of days).
Now for some info about the game itself, please remember that the early entry bonus of 750pts does not count towards the first Manager of the Month. On the subject of Manager of the Month the first one is a joint one including both the months of August 2018 and September 2018.
Please remember only the actual points scored via the results count towards your Manager of the Month total and again this season the top and bottom team each month in each league (FNL Points not league position) will get 25pts and -25pts bonus. However, and this is important these two bonuses each month only count towards Manager of the Month and not the main total. (For the first Manager of the Month the 25pts and -25pts will be based on the top team and
bottom team for both months).
As we have now passed into the month of September that means we already have a set of end of month league leader's
bonuses to let you know about for August 2018. Don't forget again this season the bonus is worth 25pts per league leader and -25pts for the bottom club each month and they only count in the main totals, not Manager of the Month.
Remember in The Mixture there will only be one leader and one bottom club. This will be worked out via each team's league position in their respective leagues.
