Win A Whopping £10k In Our Fantasy Non-League Game!

The Fantasy Non-League pot may have doubled to a massive £10,000 thanks to Vanarama but it still costs just £5 to enter. The deadline for entries is Sunday, August 31.

That means the first prize has soared to a whopping £4,000 with the runner-up  getting £1,500, third place £1,000, and fourth £500. Manager of the Month awards have risen to £200 for the winner with £100 to the runner-up and, for the first time, we will pay £50 to the team finishing bottom of the pile each month.

The first Manager of the Month will be a joint one taking in August and September. So there will be eight Manager of the Month awards with the last one being April 2015. There will be cash prizes for the top four at the end of the season and, once again, we will have my personal favourite – a prize for finishing bottom, so why not enter two teams one to win it and one to lose it.

Every season I like to make a few changes to the competition and this season is no different. There will be a total of three changes this season.

1. This season the FNL league set up will be the same as last season (Seven Leagues in total). You need to pick one team from each of the sub-sections in each of the first six leagues (Conference Premier, Conference North, Conference South, Evo-Stik Northern Premier, Ryman Premier and Southern Premier) making 18 teams in total. The first change from last season comes in the seventh league, The Mixture. Because The Mixture is made up from six different leagues you need to pick two teams from each of the three sub-sections. That will make a total of 24 teams for this season. Note there are no Wildcards this season.

2. During last season it was plain that not many of the teams in The Mixture received end of month bonus points for being either top or bottom of their respective leagues. So, new for this season, each of the three sub sections is taken from two leagues (four from each). For example the top section is taken from the Evo-Stik First Division One North & South. So at the end of each month 25pts and -25pts will be awarded to the top and bottom team in each section based on the two leagues within that section.

3. Finally all Play-Off Final winners will be awarded 50pts at the end of the season for gaining promotion.
Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Hereford and Salisbury City we have decided NOT to include either of them in this season’s FNL.

The Rules for FNL 2014-15:
1. You will need to choose three teams from each of the six leagues. (One from each sub section gives you a total of 18 teams). Then you will need to pick two teams from each of the three sub sections in The Mixture League. So your entry must have 24 teams.

Also, if you wish you can pick five substitute teams, but these five teams must be on your Entry Form.

2. Points allocation, in all seven leagues.
League & Cup games:
Home win = 10pts + goals Away win = 20pts + goals
Home Draw = 2pt + goals Away Draw = 4pts + goals
Every goal scored = 1pt (only if your team wins or draws).
Goal Bonus Points = 5pts (this is awarded if your teams scores four or more goals).
Clean Sheet Bonus = 5pts (this is only awarded if game is won).
Two legged ties count as two separate games.
Bonus points for reaching various rounds in each cup competition:
For reaching the FA Cup 1st round proper and each round beyond = 25pts.
For reaching the quarter-finals and each round beyond in all the other cups that are involved in the competition which are listed below = 25pts.

League Leaders & Bottom Club bonus:
At the end of each month up to and including April 2015 the team leading each of the first six leagues will be awarded 25pts. The team at the bottom of each of the first six leagues will be awarded
-25pts. This is different for The Mixture League because the Mixture is made up of six leagues so there is a chance there could be six league leaders and six bottom clubs each month.https://www.thenonleaguefootballpaper.com/wp-admin/profile.php

Play-Off Games:
The Play-Off Final winners will be awarded 50pts for gaining promotion.
End of Season Bonus Points: All League Champions receieve 200pts for winning their respective leagues.
The bottom team in each league at the end of the season will be awarded -100 bonus points.
Cup Winners will receive 150pts for the FA Trophy and 100pts for the other cups.
Substituted teams will be awarded half the End of Season bonus points.

Conference Premier – FA Cup and FA Trophy.
Conference North – FA Cup and FA Trophy.
Conference South – FA Cup and FA Trophy.
