Squad Selection
You have £15million to select a seven man squad from the available players who play for Bristol City. Players will continue to earn points if they are out on loan.
Squad's must consist of -
1 GK
2 DF
2 MF
2 ST
From your seven man squad you must pick a 5-a-side team, including a captain, with two players on the bench. You may pick a formation from 2-1-1, 1-2-1 and 1-1-2.
Transfers and Transfer Windows
Squads can be re-entered for an unlimited amount of time before the season's first match against Blackpool.
You may pick your squad up until the 31st of August, at which point entries are declined, and can make two transfers during November, then two more in January and finally two in April - players will only start earning you points the moment they are transferred, you will not gain any previous points earned by these players.
Substitutions
The starting line up you choose can only be changed twice a month - If your goalkeeper is injured you may make an emergency transfer and you can change your keeper back once he is deemed match fit. However if an outfield player is injured/suspended a sub will come in his place but this will not happen if he's dropped.
Captains
You have to chose a captain from your starting line-up who will get double points, but this captain will be permanent throughout the season and can't be changed or transferred out of the squad - he may be moved out of the first team though but double points will be lost.
Bristol City players Sold and Signed
Players who Bristol City purchase, on loan or permanently, will be entered into the game and will be possible to sign during transfer windows. However any player who is sold from Bristol City will be removed from your team and you will get half 50% of the money you signed him for back - you pick your players at your own risk.
Point System
Players will have the opportunity to earn points everytime they play in a number of different ways. These are:
Appearance 1
Playing at least 60 mins 2
Goals scored by: GK/DF 6
MF 5
ST 4
Assist (The last pass before goal) 3
Penalty missed -2
Striker doesn't score -1

Team of the Week (football-league.co.uk) 7
Team of the Year (football-league.co.uk) 15
GK/DF Clean sheet (must complete match) 2
GK/DF Concede twice (whilst on pitch) -1
Every Yellow Card -1
Every Red Card -5
Manager Awards
The most successful manager of the month wins the Manager of The Month Award and the overall winner at the end of the season will win the Manager of the Year Award.
How to Win
The winner will be the Manager who gains the most amount of points throughout the season. If there is a tie the team who has made the least amount of transfers during the season.
Have fun picking your team and good luck. Sadly there is no prizes at this time, however one may become available - no promises - during the season which will be presented to the winner.
