​Before a ball is kicked in the new season, it's time to make your Pre-Season predictions and decide on the teams you will back to do well in the League and in various Cups they take part in.

​

In addition you'll make your Squad Selection for your Fantasy Team, but, unlike the League & Cup Team Picks, you'll get a chance to correct any bad choices you make there, during the season.  ACTUALLY, the first transfer window will open before the first ball is kicked in the Premier League at Anfield on Friday 15th August.   All the team and player selections will be influenced by the strength of the team, and their coefficient.

​

​If you want to have a look at them, then all the handicaps for the clubs can be found on the table of coefficients.   This link will remain on the website throughout the season, and changes will be recorded as it progresses, highlighting teams that have improved, or gone the other way.

​

I've split your Pick Selections across three sets, so sending them is easier. Just click on the Title to get to the form to submit. Here goes.....​

​

League Team Picks

Remember you're looking for teams to score you points every time they play.  Typically they will get around 10 for a win, 4 for a draw, but the points are adjusted according to their opposition.   A Man City 4-0 win at Home to Spurs, won't be as valuable as a Spurs 4-0 win away to City (as if that would ever happen).  The teams you pick in the Bottom Sections, remember, you are looking for them to SUCCEED, not get relegated.

​

Cup Team Picks

We will cover all the 'equivalent' domestic FA Cups, across England, Scotland, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.

There are also picks for the Carabao, and of course, the European Cups.

Coefficients are obviously much higher for teams in lower divisions, and Cup Upsets can add big points.  Tamworth's draw at home to Spurs last season was worth 34 points if you'd picked them as one of your FA Cup Picks.  Spurs points for the game were 1.79. (The result used in Cup games is at the end of normal time in this world...)

And, the points increase as teams progress through the rounds. 

And the outcomes are not always obvious. Palace top scored in the FA Cup last season - No-One had picked them

​

Player Picks

There's more re-vamp happened here than anywhere else for the New Season.

The categories have been reduced and simplified.  You simply now pick 2 Keepers, 4 Forwards and 5 more players.

OK, there's a bit more to it, if you want to dig a bit further into it.

There will be more transfer windows this season, roughly 1 every 4/5 weeks, and, unlike Premier Fantasy Leagues, you aren't restricted to players from the Premier League.

You can choose from across Europe, and there's no budget cap either (none of that PSR tripe here)

There's more information on the form.

That's your three sets.
