Official Funky Bunch Rules Page

Welcome to the Official Funky Bunch League Rules Page.

The league started out with managers selecting a team name and then competing in a draft to secure players with a £150m budget, once this was completed, the league commenced. It was decided that there will be 2 leagues, a Premier League and Championship in which you can gain promotion or get relegated from both respectively, the teams in each were drawn at random. Each team was left with any remaining budget they had left over from the draft in which the situations below can add to or remove from your budget.

See below the rules as follows:

Deadlines:

-All transfers must be made by Midnight on Thursday to be eligible for the weeks games.
-Tactics are due at midnight on Friday of every game week unless stated otherwise.
-The votes/results will be due by the following Monday at midnight (depending on real life situations this may change)

Tactics:

-Tactics are required to have a starting XI, an explanation as to how you want your team to play and also a subs bench. 
-Please note that the explanation is limited to 100 words and this includes any type of team talk you wish to have with your team. 
-If you happen to go over the word limit within your tactics, the voter will deduct a goal for every 50 extra words and so on.

Votes/Results: 

-2 managers will vote each week, one from each league meaning that those 2 managers will not have a game that week. Votes ideally should contain a Scoreline, scorers and its optional but the managers can add a few lines of explanation as to how they think the games went/any feedback on the players/lineups etc.
