Gameweeks
The gameweek will advance every Saturday at midday; the same time as transfers and captain changes are processed.
For the purpose of viewing league standings by month, gameweeks that span two months will count for the month that they started in.
Transfers and Captain Changes
Managers may alter their teams at any point during the Season. A total of 1 free transfer is available each week and additional transfers are permitted, but will incur a cost of -20 points per transfer. When a captain is transferred out of a team, the team will be without a captain and a new one should be selected.
Transfers and captain changes may be submitted at any time but will not take effect until midday the following Saturday, so they are active for the upcoming gameweek.
Please note that transfers are free and unlimited up until midday on the date of the first match.

The players included on the selection list and their values will be determined by the League Administrator. 2017 overseas players yet to be added, along with one or two new members.
