A team sheet is the selection of players, formation and tactics you make for each game along with a set of instructions for your players to follow in certain situations. The team sheet should be in TXT format. All team sheets must be submitted via the team sheet submitter on the main site. Submission instructions can be found there. Deadline to sheet is 2pm (UK time) on the day of the game.
Here are the minimum and maximum players for each positions
Min_DF = 3
Max_DF = 5
Max_DM = 2
Min_MF = 0
Max_MF = 6
Max_AM = 3
Min_FW = 1
Max_FW = 4
The FFO Error Watch is a point-based system created to try and minimise the amount of team sheet errors in a team sheet when it is submitted.
Every team starts the season on 0 points, with the following additions/deductions:
Set Sheet used if you get 5+ error points, +2 if errors, -1 if error free.
Get 5+ points for a 2nd time and set sheet used + fine.
A team cannot go above 5 points or below 0 points. New managers to FFO are exempt to the error watch for their first three rounds, and a new managerial appointment sees the count reset to zero. At the end of the season, all points are reset.
If you miss a sheet the following punishments happen
1st - Use of standard sheet (402N)
2nd - Use of standard sheet plus 5mil fine
3rd - Use of standard sheet, with reserve keeper, 5mil fine, 1 point deduction
4th - Use of standard sheet, with reserve keeper, 5mil fine, 4 point deduction
5th - Use of standard sheet, with reserve keeper, 5mil fine, 6 point deduction
6th - SACK, fines returned to club once they find a new manager
