Bulls Soccer Club Ohana,
The annual Honolulu Bulls Soccer Club Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is back! Last year saw 50+ Bulls player, coaches & parents battle it out for 38 games weeks. It was a tight race with late season pushes from shrewd managers who were rewarded for their smart moves and planning. It came down to the last day and bench boost cards to see our President Justin Facciolo edge out fellow Board member Trevor Funk by 2 points. Many of our Bulls players and some of our Coaches had respectable finishes as the climbed the rankings after some growing pains.
This year’s EPL Fantasy League kicks off on August 16th. This year we will raise the stakes and add prizes for the top 3 finishers. Hundreds of dollars in Soccer.com gift certificates will go to the winners with the Champion’s name being woven into the tapestry of Bulls history as their name is etched into the Honolulu Bulls FPL trophy! We hope this creates a lot of excitement and sees participation skyrocket! Please read the below information in its entirety. Honolulu Bulls Soccer Club FPL league has been created and is exclusive to Bulls players, families and coaches. Your teams must be locked in by 730am on August 16th which is the Game Week 1 deadline.
What is the Fantasy Premier League? If you’ve heard of NFL Fantasy it’s a similar concept but played a bit differently. After selecting 15 players you’ll need to select a starting lineup that will be scored for points during each game week. After all games are played your score will be totaled for the week. Each week you are allowed to make transfers. 1 transfer each week is free while additional transfers will cost you a points deduction from the total week’s points. Your weekly scores will be added for a final points score at the end of the year. The Highest Score Wins the league. Step 8 below provides a link to explain how points are tallied. Be sure to read the rules within the website or app( https://fantasy.premierleague.com/help/rules ). There have been some interesting rule changes this year like the increase in number of banked transfers from 2 to 5. An app is available for download on your smart phones. Enter “Premier League- Official App” in the app search. Within the app is the “fantasy” game centered on the bottom menu tab marked by a game jersey icon and the word “Fantasy” below it.
See the step-by-step instructions on how to sign up below. FPL fantasy is a lot of fun. It’s competitive, creates conversations among the players, teams and coaches, and it’s a good incentive for the kids to watch and pay more attention to professional soccer. I hope this creates a lot of interest for the Club and we can all have a fun time with it.
We hope to see as many of you as possible in attendance! Your participation and support mean a lot to us, and we look forward to a wonderful time together.
