PB 5 A Side Tournament
-
With the complete lack of any sport and the fact I am going crazy in self isolation I am proposing a PB 5 a side tournament based on historic scores.
You must pick a 5 a side team that consists of the following:
1 GK
1 DEF
1 MID
1 FWD
1 Other- Teams to be submitted by 12:00 noon on 20/03 for round 1
- Only premier league teams / players
- A maximum of 1 player from any team
- Historic scores based on 19/20 season (Gameweeks 1 - 29) the gameweek will be picked after the deadline by a random number generator.
- Straight knockout tournament, opponents will be drawn at random and announced after the deadline each day.
- Teams can be changed before each new round, if you don't update it your previous team will continue until it is knocked out or wins.
No tournament is complete without a prize - I will put in / transfer the £ for 3 Bruno's to the overall winner. If anyone wants to add other prizes then please do.
- If a player didn't play for the random game week - tough
- If they played two games that week it will be the first game they played
- Scores will be taken from Index Edge (unless someone tells me an easier way to score it...)
Depending on uptake and how much of pain it turns out to organise we can obviously run with other leagues / seasons after this one is complete.
Any ideas to improve or glaring errors I have made let me know :)

Question...... if we have a player that transferred into the pl part way through that season. Will there scores from previous club count? Or no score if they wernt at there currwnt club?
-
@DiamondTiger interesting idea. When you say 'if he played 2 games that week you get the first score', often one of thesec2 will be CL/EL so firstly, what's your policy on the 1.25 multiplier, secondly, is the week starting on a monday or a saturday or even a friday? Might I suggest the friday as I take this to be the start of the footballing week, providing there is a friday fixture, also because this would remove the potential complication of the multiplier because in the great majority of cases, the european fixture, having been played on tues/wed/thurs, will be the 2nd of the game week
-
@Chickenman it will only count if they played for a premier league club - so its a bold move to pick Bruno basically.
-
Are the gameweeks based on fantasy football gameweeks? As @MickTurbo touched on,when a team has 2 fixtures does it count both games or just the 1st fixture?
-
@MickTurbo Only premier league games count. The gameweeks will be as the premier league fantasy football fixture weeks. There are only a few occasions when people played two games in one gameweek but it leads to some weeks where they played none.

Presume we send teams direct and not on here for some scoundrels to copy?
-
I'm in mate 👍
-
@Dan-w hadn't thought about it to be honest - if you are worried about copying send them direct, i will accept entries either way.
-
Sent you my team, hold on I forgot a keeper and other. I'll send them over in a minute!
-
@Chickenman you sent me 3 - 5 a side so you can have 2 MIDS or 2 FWD's if you wanted
-
I'm in - I think 😁
-
Great idea. Mine are in!
-
@Ringers one player from a team mate 😊
-
No restrictions on price of players or anything is there? Just picking my team now
-
Mine are in. No help from any pb charts etc..
-
Really struggling for a forward, with so many people out injured at some point 🤯
-
@ChazFI123 no restrictions on price.
-
Just to be clear if someone is on loan they count as the club they are playing for i.e. Harry Wilson counts as Bournemouth not Liverpool
