Welcome to another update of the Fantasy Non-League. Today’s update covers the period Sunday 10th October 2021 through to Saturday 16th October 2021. In today’s update I am going to give you the first look at the details you will need to activate your substitutions. Remember now that we have moved back to some sort of normality in the world of Fantasy Non-League (fingers crossed) the substitution deadline has moved back to its normal place of midnight on Friday 31st December 2021.
So, you can send in your substitution choices during the month of December 2021 and then your choices will be activated at midnight on Friday 31st December 2021. You can swap up to three teams and those three teams must have been included on your entry form back at the start of the competition. Your changes do not have to be like for like as far as the leagues are concerned. For example, you can remove a National League side and replace them with a team from The Mixture if you so wish. So, if you are new to FNL this season this is how the subs work. If you remove Dover Athletic from your team and replace them with say Dartford. All the points Dover have scored up to midnight on Friday 31st December 2021 are frozen in your team calculations (Main Score) and then every point Dartford score from the Saturday 1st January 2022 up to the end of the season become part of your main score.
Please Note: You can change your Jokers, but if you do this will count as one of your substitutions. So, to put a bit more meat on the bone here are more details about subbing jockers. If you have Dover as a jocker and you decide you want to sub Dover out of the game completely and at the end of December 2021 Dover have 78pts (156pts if they are a jocker) a total of 156pts will be frozen into your main score at the deadline on Friday 31st December 2021. If you bring Dartford in to replace Dover then you have two choices here. 1. Dartford can become your new jocker or 2. you can select another team that you picked at the start back in August 2021 to be your new jocker and that will count as one substitution. If you decide to keep Dover in the game but from Saturday 1st January 2022 you no longer what Dover as a jocker then your new jocker will count as one substitution.
So, after reading this you are sat there thinking why I should bother to change anything when I am sat in 823rd in the main FNL table. Well, a good reason could be if you make the right changes you could pick up a FNL Manager of the Month award in the second part of the season!! Also, remember that you can pick up £50 for finishing bottom each month. So, if you are nearer the bottom then the top then make some changes that might give you the chance of finishing bottom. This happen for two players in the second part of the season in the FNL 2020/21 game.
Finally, send the changes you want to make to the FNL Helpdesk either by e-mail, text (I can’t take your changes over the phone they must be written down) or by post to FNL Substitutions, Flat 14 Chataway House, Leach Road, Chard, Somerset, TA20 1GH.
Please don’t send any of your changes to the paper as they might not reach me in time.
