Don't have a team set up yet (for the last few years I've only done the draft) but will try if I get the time

Haven't done one of these in ages but sure feck it, i'll give it a bash.. I think the last time I played Man United actually had players worth picking 

I'm in. Casablanca Celtic

In too. This should be great fun!!

9 entries so far hoping for a few more so lettuce try this...

How does it work? Do I get to build my own team?! Might have a go if so

Yeah you get a set budget and pick a squad. Think its limited to max 3 players from 1 team. then each week you can make one or two free transfers etc

Edit: ignore this, necro has a much more detailed outline below!

Yeah you get 100 million to build your own team
Points then get allocated each game week based on appearances, goals, assists and clean sheets (for defenders and keeper). 

You can make one free transfer each week but any more than that costs you 4 points off your gameweek total. 

Then there's the wildcard which you get two of ( one in the first half of the season and the second after Christmas roughly) where you can make unlimited transfers for that week only.
Theres a few other little boosts you can use then like triple captain ( your captain normally gets double points but if you use this it trebles your points for the week), bench boost (all the subs count for points for that gameweek too). There was also a Free Hit which means you can make as many transfers as you want but your team goes back to the previous way it was after that week.
You can also get bonus points if you have a player or two in the team of the week.

I don't watch any football BUT that sounds like good craic! Will get in tonight

I used to love that show! 

I also think it takes any pressure off my team to succeed 

Good week for myself scoring 83 points meaning I'm top of the league after one week.

@Baggly, @lorcand1990 and @ShaneU round out the champions league positions with 77, 76 and 71 points respectively.

Down in the relegation zone it's not a great start for @fixxxer, @Wichita Lineman and @nothing but it's a long way to go yet....

I fully expect to be relegated

That free transfer feels like making a late change to a sheep answer.. I made a change & guarantee the player I took out will outscore who I put in!

Thank fook for Gabriel Jesus

Everyone has him though

Can anyone explain exactly how to work the free unlimited tranfers for one week? Tried to figure it out myself last week, but I'm a moron. Eli5?

There's 2 ways of doing this, a Wildcard or Free Hit. I'll try explain them separately,  probably easier!

Wildcard 
You get 2 of these per season, one in first part and one in second part of season. You can make unlimited transfers, provided you stay within the usual budget restraints. These changes you make will be permanent.  Can be handy is you have a few injuries or want to offload lots of players at one time! They don't roll over so if you don't use the one in the first part, you lose it. If you go to make lots of subs in a week, you should get an option pop up to use the wildcard

Free Hit
You can only use this once in the entire season, like Bench Boost or Triple Captain. The difference between this and wildcard is that the changes you make are only for one game week, after that it reverts back to your team the way it was the week before. Screenshot below of where you'll see this, at the bottom right

Hope I've done that justice 

28,075th in the world 

Safe to say I won this season

I hung on to your coattails for as long as possible..  Now I'm hanging on to 2nd!

Hadn't checked in ages, how am I not dead last?!

A bit of average season for me, some poor selections and forgot to update my team a few weeks.

Congratulations @ShaneU !! Your score looks very good!!! Did you make it into the top 10,000?
