WSFFL Rulebook - Introduction to the Game

The WSFFL is a 16-team matchplay Fantasy League based on the English Premier League.

Managers have a squad of players and select a team from that squad each Premiership weekend to play against another manager. Only one manager owns each Premier League player; squads have been built up and developed over the duration of the League (the game launched in 1994).

Each manager plays the other 15 teams twice, home and away, and collects points based on actual football points (3 for a win, one for a draw, nothing for a defeat) following each match.

In addition to the League competition, there are three knockout tournaments; a "League Cup" (called the Paul Cartmell Memorial Trophy, in memory of one of our former WSFFL manager colleagues), a Charity Shield (teams knocked out in the first round of the League Cup enter this) and an "FA Cup" which runs from January to late April, interspersed with the League fixtures.

PS - It's not real money.
