Subject: [NT] Points Contest
- 1
I haven't tried this one before. Not sure how it will work. :P It looks ok on paper.
To participate in this contest you need to select a team of 7 New Zealand players. After each New Zealand match this season (starting this week and finishing in week 15), contestants will be awarded points equaling the player ratings of their selected players.
For example, let's say you selected the first 7 players on the roster (probably not the best strategy). This would give you:
Alves, Anthopoloulos, Atkinson, Baldaro, Bodger, Brunton, D Chadwick
And on a given Saturday they got the following ratings:
Alves - 70
Anthopoulos - 50
Atkinson - 60
Baldaro - DNP (did not play)
Bodger - 75
Brunton - DNP
D Chadwick - DNP
You would receive 255 points.
Obviously, the first key is to select players who you think will play each week. The next key is to choose players who get high ratings.
Note: the rating is NOT pro-rated. Minutes don't matter. A sub who gets a 70 in 5 minutes is better (for the sake of this contest) then a starter who player 85 minutes, but gets a 65 rating.
You select a team of 7 your first week, and may make 1 trade each week there-after (to promote some activity and thought). So if a player gets injured, loses form or falls out of favour with the manager, you can change him (but only 1 each week).
Contest winner will be the person with the greatest total at the end of week 15. For tie-breaking purposes, I ask the each participant also make a prediction of the total goals scored by New Zealand in qualifying this season (no duplicates please).
Like the other contest, please don't edit your posts. Delete and re-post for contest integrity. :)

Oops. Prize is the same as the other contest. Naming a player to the week 1 line-up. And of course, the praise and admiration of all. :D
