WSFFL Rulebook - How the score is worked out

The important things in this game are goals and clean sheets (a goalkeeper saving a penalty will also count as a goal providing the ensuing passage of play doesn't result in a goal). Assists are worthless. That's something to think about when you're looking at players, defensive midfielders have little value in WSFFL. A player needs to play at least 15 minutes to qualify for a clean sheet. No limping off after five minutes or coming on in injury time to nab one!

(In the case of a substitute, the player needs to be introduced before the 76th minute and remain in play for a minimum of 15 minutes.)

The co-ordinator will then compare each team's performance against one another. Goals will always count, clean sheets will be cancelled against each other to provide the final score (i.e. if team A has 3 cleans and their opponents team B have 2, then 2 are cancelled off team A and the remaining clean is converted to a "goal" for team A's tally).

If any of your non-playing players have scored or kept cleans, or if indeed any of your subs have scored whilst not counting for you, they don't count towards your score. Only the players you've selected from your squad of 27 to be in your team of 11 for that weekend count (plus subs, if they're "in play" as detailed in the article on 'The Team'). You must therefore use your skill and judgement to select the 11 players from your squad of 27 which you feel have the best chance to score/keep clean sheets that particular Premier League weekend.

(In the event of a player being sent off any goal scored or penalty saved will still count but a defender or goalkeeper will not be able to claim a clean sheet)
