Welcome to the first update of a new season of Fantasy Non-League. Today's update covers the period Saturday 14th August 2021 through to Saturday 4th September 2021. 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 possibly June 2022 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. 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 online.
One other issue that has cropped up is the relegated teams from League Two. Some of you have misunderstood what was needed. You have picked National League teams where you should have picked League Two teams. The idea behind this new idea was for you to guess who will be relegated from League Two into the National League for next season. If you are one of these people you can contact me by the end of September 2021 via the FNL Helpdesk. Once that deadline has passed if you haven't changed those errors then they won't be part of your team.
Now for some info about the game itself. On the subject of Manager of the Month the first one is a joint one including the months of August & September 2021. 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.
As we have now passed into the month of September 2021 that means we already have a set of end of month league leader's bonuses to let you know about for August 2021. 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 record in their respective leagues.
