I'd be interested in joining the Kevinswatch league. I'm not sure what to do and my knowledge is a bit limited - um, how does it work?

Cool Stevie G ,
Squad selection
A manager may enter one Fantasy Premier League squad, multiple squads will be deleted. Squads must consist of:
2 Goalkeepers
5 Defenders
5 Midfielders
3 Forwards
You can select up to 3 players from any one team. If a player is transferred during the season and this transfer takes you over this limit, then you will need to go back under the limit when making your next transfers.
Each player has been given a value. The total value of your initial squad must not exceed £100 million.
Thats the general rules youll have to tinker about with your team selection to keep under the £100 million but u have till the 15th of August to fine tune it , sometims if you pick the best valued players you end picking up some lower valued players to keep under the requred amount.

If you need more details let me know .

Hopefully I'll be in this year, Cleburne, but I don't come in here too often so you might have to PM me at the start of August to give me a kick up the arse.

OK I've picked a team (mostly through ignorance...) - so you can change it up until the deadline, and then you need to stick with it until transfers in Jan, right?
And the deadline is the 15th?

Excuse double post but I created a kevinswatch Head to head league today if you are interested in that , you dont have much to do apart from sign in the following code 298726-242596 .
In a head to head league you play a game each gameweek against another team in the league. Your score versus your opponent's score. 3 points for a win and 1 points for a draw.
its more interesting and more fun , give it a try.
Stevie G you can transfer a maximum of 1 player every week if example 1 of your players gets injured or you notice a better player so there is always something to keep and eye on every week.
If you transfer more than 1 player a week you lose 4pts for each player.

I want to put Alberto Aquilani in my team but he is too much for a player unproven in the Premiership but I also wanted Torres but I couldn't afford a keeper when I brought him.
