6 managers have competed every year – some still trying to get on the winner’s podium!

Rules
You can choose a maximum of ONE player from any Premiership team and you must select a 4-4-2 formation (one goalkeeper, two full-backs, two centre-backs, four midfielders and two strikers).

You have a budget to spend on your 11 players – and not surprisingly, that budget does not allow you to buy all the best players. Some players are also ‘suspended’ from the player list – this varies on an annual basis. It’s to try and stop every manager having the highest performer from the top clubs.

Players score points ONLY for Premiership matches - League Cup, FA Cup, European and International matches do not count.

Points are allocated as per the Press Association. Barton League updates will be posted in the pub at least once a month (typically more often…) or take a look below for a shortened league table!

• Goal 3 pts
• Assist (last completed pass from attacking player to goalscorer) 2 pts
• Defender/Goalkeeper appearance (playing 45 minutes or more of a match) 1 pt
• Defender/Goalkeeper clean sheet
(when on the field for 75 full minutes or more, includes appearance point) 3 pts
• Defender/Goalkeeper goal conceded -1 pt

Transfers can be made each month – a maximum of 3 per month.
Transfers are the first Sunday of the month (unless the last day of the month is a Sunday).


There is an entry fee – historically all entry fees have been paid back as prize money (for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 13th). In 2006-07, £5 of each individual’s entry fee contributed to Barton Village Fund.

The new season will start in August 2009.
