Welcome to the league, below are the rules for the league BUT as this is Mikey and i 1st EPL dynasty these rules will be subject to change as we go. We hope to have any changes to the rules done by the time the league is full and any suggestion or tips would be greatly received
OVERVIEW
Welcome to “Premier Fantasy League”, home of EPL Fantasy Football.
We are a 20 Team contract/ salary cap league which attempts to create a fantasy experience as close to the real EPL as possible.
ROSTER LIMITS
Active rosters are 22 players maximum, that all includes 20 active roster players (11 Starters) (9 Reserves) & 2 IR players if elibigle for IR.. Minimum roster at all times is 20 players.. Limits are suspended each offseason to trade and make roster moves in preparation for the start of the season. All teams must be back within the roster limits the day before the start of the 1st EPL game of the season (DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED)
Any team over the limit after the roster deadline will have players waived. Every effort will be made to keep the best interests of the team in mind. Any team under the minimum will have placeholder "players" added at a salary of £500,000 for the current year. This placeholder will count towards the salary cap for the rest of the year unless waived at the standard 35% cap hit (assuming the team remains above the roster minimum).
After the roster deadline has passed, any team that acquires a player or players causing the team to go over the maximum will have the player(s) immediately dropped. A 35% cap hit will apply to bring the team back to the roster limit. The TAB will attempt to catch this beforehand, but it is the responsibility of each GM to remain within the roster limits.
Injured Reserve
Any player eligible for IR MUST be announced on the IR thread on proboards.. Once the player is announced he is playing IRL that GM has 24 hours to announce that they making him active.. If a GM adds a player during IR stint obv. They will need to waive a player to make room for the return of the injured player. Cap hit waive is 35%
SALARY CAP
Each team has a £90,000,000* salary cap. Team salary includes the total of all players under contract (Active Roster, and Injured Reserve), plus any Salary Cap Hits for unclaimed waivers, plus any outstanding (leading) free agent bids. Each team MUST maintain accurate salary totals and roster count on their team page. The salary cap will remain in effect year-round. This includes pre-season, so be careful while you may be temporarily over the roster limits, you may never exceed the salary cap.
If any team acquires a player or players causing them to go over the salary cap (via draft, trade or Free Agency) and it is not caught beforehand, then the added player(s) will be immediately dropped with a 35% cap hit to bring the team back under the salary cap
FREE AGENTS
FAs are any players that are not currently under contract by a team. We will have 2 Transfer windows in which we can sign any players. The TR (transfer window) will be the same as the EPL windows (dates will be announced). Only players playing in the EPL can be bid on, and MUST have signed a contract with a real PL team before bidding can be commenced. the last accepted thread for a FA will be 1 hour after the close of the real transfer window.
At the end of the season the players from the 3 newly promoted teams will also go into the FA pot for bidding on during the summer transfer window
FREE AGENT BIDDING
The process for signing an Unrestricted Free Agent is to create a new thread in the "Unrestricted Free Agents" sub-board under "Free Agency". The thread should have the player's correctly spelled name, EPL team and position in the subject, and a valid bid as the message. Other GMs may reply in this thread with higher bids for the player. The bidding will end when 24 hours has passed since the last valid bid.
A MAXIMUM of 20 players names can be posted on proboards during the UFA process. A MAXIMUM of 3 players can be posted by the same team during UFA..
“SNIPING BIDS” any bid made over the 20th hour mark from the previous bid is noted as a sniping bid. Most should know the term from other leagues. If for some reason you bid over the 20th hour mark, your bid points MUST be greater by 1 point than the previous bid. EXAMPLE: if the previous bid was 1 year @ 5Mil = 5 points, then your bid MUST equal 6 points or more..
Contract years add value based on the following: £1M = 1 point
1 Yr = 1X multiplier - 1 Yr @ 5 mil = 5 X 1 = 5 pts
2 Yr = 1.20X multiplier - 2 Yrs @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.20 = 6 pts
3 Yr = 1.40X mulitplier - 3 Yrs @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.40 = 7 pts
4 Yr = 1.60X multiplier - 4 Yrs @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.6= 8 pts
More Examples:
1 yr @ 1 mil = 1 x 1 = 1 pt
3 yrs @ 1 mil = 1 X 1.4= 1.4 pts
1 yr @ 1.4 mil = 1.4 X 1 = 1.4 pts
3 yrs @ 1.3 mil = 1.3 X 1.4 = 2.2pts
Players may be signed for a maximum of 4 years and your math must be correct for the bid to be valid.
You must have salary cap space available for a bid to be valid (remember, any Free Agency bids in which you are the leading bidder also count towards your salary cap).
10 mins max for revoked bids and must notify a LM
. Players on waivers do not count towards your roster limit. You may conditionally waive a player to make roster space for a player as detailed in the Waivers" section below.
If a team makes a free agent bid which would put them over the roster or cap limit, or deletes a bid once posted, a Cap Penalty will be issued of $1,000,000. The player will then be able to be bid on again when caught, with a reduced clock of 24 hours minus the time between the last legal bid and the illegal bid. The last legal bid will become the highest bid and all future bids must be at least 0.1 points higher.
ANY EDIT OF A BID WILL RESET THE CLOCK BACK TO 24HOURS
REAL LIFE TRANSFERS OUT
Any players transferred out of the EPL in real life can no longer be kept on teams here and will not accumulate points. there is no waiver penalties if this happens, quite the opposite. Any team who owns a player traded out of the epl will receive 5% of the fee that player was sold for IRL. Transfers MUST be posted in the transfer section on proboards for them to claim compensation. (2021-22 season NO CAP HIT FOR IRL TRANSFERS)
For example
If Harry Kane gets sold to Real Madrid And his contract is 15M. That team is on the hook for 750,000
REAL LIFE LOANS
Any players loaned out to teams outside the EPL will not need to be waivered (unless the owner wants to) instead any loans will have the salaries taken off for however long the loan is and will not count against the teams roster space. Any Loans must be claimed for by the owner who must post in the "transfer section" under Loans, we will then process the loan on Docs
REAL LIFE RELEGATION
This could happen to any team and again the rules for transfers would stand....every player that playes for any relegated team would have to be removed from the team, if any of the players get sold that team will be compensated as above.. NO cap hit
EXTENSIONS
Every GM can offer an EXTENSION CONTRACT to ONE player each season who has at least ONE YEAR left on their contract. The extension contract may add up to 3 YEARS on a player’s current contract and will cost 150% FOR FIRST year and 5% the following 2 years from the 150% of the players HIGHEST PAID YEAR on their REMAINING contract. A player may not ever exceed a 6 YEAR CONTRACT.. This contract Extension will only be allowed for a maximum of three years..
Players who are extended whilst news of them possibly transfering out of the EPL will forfit any comp that would otherwise be given to other transfers, if they end up transfering in that and the following transfer window
Waivers:
To release a player, you must post a thread in the waiver forum containing his contract terms, when a player is waived the player's salary is immediately removed from the teams total salary. Fellow GM's will have 24 hours to claim the waived player. If he is claimed, no salary cap hit will apply. If he is not claimed you'll have to release him at a 35% cap hit for the remainder of the contract. That means if you have him signed for 3 years, the salary cap hit will apply for each of the 3 years.
Waiver Claims:
Waiver claims must be posted on the waived player's thread within 24 hours. After 24 hours, the team with the highest "Waiver Priority" will be awarded the player and will assume the existing contract. It doesn't matter what order claims are posted. The team being awarded the player will then move to the bottom of the Waiver Priority. Priorities are reset each off-season in reverse order of finish (same as draft order). You have exactly 10 minutes to remove a claim on a player.
Conditional Waivers:
If you are at the roster limit, you may conditionally waive a player in order to place a bid on a free agent (or to make a trade) which would have put you over the roster limit. State that the player is conditionally waived pending winning free agent "X" (or having a trade approved). Teams may claim this player like any other waived player, but you may reclaim the player if you are outbid (or the trade is vetoed). You have 24 hours to reclaim your player only if you are outbid (or your trade is vetoed). The team will take a 10% penalty of the salary for 1 year if the player is reclaimed.
Unclaimed Waivers:
If a player is waived and not claimed within 24 hours there will be a 35% cap hit for every year of the contract. That player becomes a free agent, and the same rules apply to that player as they do to all free agents. The only difference is that the owner who released that player CANNOT bid for the rest of the season. If the player is later released by his new owner, then the original owner can bid.
TRADES
Trades:
Each agreed upon trade must be posted in the "Trades" forum. Both parties of the trade must post acceptance of the trade within a reasonable time (the poster of the trade is assumed to have accepted).
Trades must include the name, position and contract terms of each player involved, The trade must be both posted and accepted on the forum and on Fantrax before the trade will be approved. Teams not involved in the trade should post their comments in a new Thread under trade discussion.
You must have salary cap available and space on your roster in order to trade for players. Players on waivers do not count towards your roster limit. You may conditionally waive a player or players to make room for your traded for players as detailed in the "Conditional Waivers" section.
Every trade must be approved by the league. A trade needs the approval from 3 league members to pass, or 3 vetos to deny a trade. If there are 3 votes to veto or deny a trade before 3 votes to approve, the trade is vetoed. If either team does not have salary cap or roster space available to complete the trade, it will automatically be void.
Players cannot be traded once they have started their weekly game until the final game of the week has been played. Trades must be approved before K/O for the players involved to start in that week.
