The Rules

- Each team consists of 4 players which will be chosen in the normal snake draft method. For each Matchweek each manager select 3 of his players to start with one reserve. Autosubs will be in force.
- There will be 8 groups of 4 teams. Each group will consist of 1/2 RFF teams and the remaining places will be made of the 16/24 teams ranked lowest in the FIFA world rankings. This is done to try and ensure as many RFF teams get into the knockout stages as possible.
- The order of the draft will be decided by a random draw, that I will do my best to record and stick in this thread.
- Any player is available for selection as long as they are in the squads for the World Cup.
- There will be 3 match weeks in the group stages where each team will play each other once. 3 points will be awarded for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. Once all games are played the two teams with the most points will progress into the knockout stages. If teams are equal on points the process of who goes through is based in this order: Goals Scored, Goal Difference, Quickest Goal.
- Each knockout stage will be considered a matchweek totaling 7 matchweeks.
- In the knockout stages two clubs will face each other in the ways detailed below. Once the quarter final stage is reached a supplemental draft will be implemented in order for teams to be replenished with players that are in the actual World Cup quarter finals.
- In lieu of a penalty shoot out, in the eventuality of a drawn knockout game the 'late goal rule' will be implement. This means whoever scored a goal in the latest minute of their game goes through. If this by some chance is equal then the 'sausage sandwich game' will come into effect to determine a winner.

The Schedule

Match week 1

Matchweek 2

Matchweek 3

Matchweek 4 - 30th June - 3rd July

Supplemental Draft - 4th July - 5th July

Matchweek 5 - 6th July - 7th July

Matchweek 7 - 14th July - 15th July

Not all of the above information is accurate at the moment (dates etc) but I'll edit it through today. Ideally we want 16 people signing up but I think we might struggle a bit for that so if we only get 8 or 12 we'll make do.

Tipping Hurley to get relegated

**BBF** · May 22nd, 2018, 1:35 PM

I'm thinking of a draft from 6th June. We should be done fairly quickly and will have a week or so to make changes based on injuries etc

I'll update the first post. We can pretty much start whenever tbh but understandable if you want to wait for every squad to be finalised. @Poppa Pump your pick whenever you want to start, we'll go with 24 hour limits for the moment and decrease that if it drags.

**BBF** · June 4th, 2018, 8:36 AM

First post is all updated with fixtures, draft order etc.

Real fixtures. RRF fixtures.

Any questions let me know.

**UK Blue** · June 4th, 2018, 9:37 AM

Top work Beebs

Not doing a list for this just going to freestyle it.

**RFF Champ** · June 4th, 2018, 11:33 AM

I plan to win this and gloriously enter RFF retirement.

This is not going well, I am going to end up with my 'b' picks by the second round

**BBF** · June 7th, 2018, 1:43 PM

Don't watch me.

**UK Blue** · June 7th, 2018, 1:59 PM

**UK Blue** · June 7th, 2018, 6:41 PM

**BBF** · June 9th, 2018, 4:17 PM

Sure why not? You have to drop one for the knockouts though at which point they become free agency.

4 players to be picked. One reserve with auto subs active.

**UK Blue** · June 9th, 2018, 4:22 PM

Yay.

Over half the countries haven't had anyone picked from them yet. Someone might fluke an Oleg Salenko or Saeed Al-Owairan.

**UK Blue** · June 9th, 2018, 4:25 PM

How will auto subs work in this? The whole squads will be on the bench (I think).
