Yep that’s right, now you can keep yourself up-to-the-minute on all the FFL transfer activity. See who’s hot, who’s not, and what your rival managers have been up to in the transfer market.

So thanks to the 40-odd managers who furnished our begging bowls with the entrance money. We firmly accept our part in not asking for cash up front, yet still plead with the final 30-odd to pay up. (NB. it seems there’ve been occasional problems with Paypal, so if you think you paid and keep getting reminders it probably didn’t work. Double check if you got an email receipt from Paypal! Sorry.)
Saying that we’ll continue down the merry road. This update is to announce that the Super 16s comp kicks off on Saturday 12th April (click here for the full draw and to compare team sheets) - yes thats tomorrow. The advertised qualifying period of pre 17th March stands and ordinarily it would be the top 16 who qualify.However, one of the top 16 as at 17th March has not paid, Bab G’s 11. So there is no room at the inn for Mona and we have promoted Tengo Un Burro Grande into her place…..
And here we go, we’re really copying the AFL (Aussie Rules) but the last 16 will be seeded with 1v16, 2v15 and so on in a ladder format until the final 2 play (in theory 1st v 2nd).
Next update will have the Cup winners (still a finalist to pay), so no results until we have that fiver and the catch up on Managers of the Month.PS. Its a Ross one-two at the moment with Stuart and Jane vying for that top spot
Yes still sixty payments left (although there are 2 unidentifieds that have come through). The super 16s are due to kick off with those in the top 16 as of weekend 15-16 March due to play off. One caveat though if you are in the top 16 and havent paid then you aint getting in. Your place will go to the next community spirited soul in line.
A further update coming with news of Cup & Trophy final results and manager of the month awards. But please keep those payments coming. Thanks
If you don’t pay you cannae play, and that means disqualification from the super 16s, and probably ultimately FFL shut down - we cant run this without the entry fees, because we cant pay for the prizes and without prizes who would really play. Where we are heading for at the moment is refund to managers who have paid and closing the site down by end of March. Sounds a bit severe but probably more like harsh reality
Cant be worth that surely? Just for a fiver?
