Our good mate Cyclone obviously has too much time on his hands, luckily for us, and has set up a SL1 fantasy league – so we thought we’d give the league a bit of a push…
What does the Victorian SL1 men’s hockey competition have in common with the English Premier League, The NBA or even the AFL? The answer is: now all of these competitions have their very own fantasy leagues allowing fans of the competition to compete against each other on a weekly basis.Who would you rather play for your team? Dreher or Bazeley? Higgins or Hawes? Thompson or Weller? Klienschmidt or Pollard? It’s up to you, and the best thing is, it’s free! All you have top do is select your very own 11 from a pool of over 230 potential State League One players and watch the points roll on by. Of course if your team is not performing and you need to ‘shake things up a bit’, you are able to make up to 10 transfers over the duration of the season.
The Victorian State League One Fantasy League operates on the popular Dutch ‘Hoofdklasse’ scoring system below:
A Goalkeeper (GLK) will score…
10 points for each goal scored (GLS)
10 points for a clean sheet (CLS)
4 points for conceding only 1 goal (1GC)
-1 point for each goal conceded (GLC)
A Defender (DEF) will score…
6 points for each goal scored (GLS)
7 points for a clean sheet (CLS)
3 points for conceding only 1 goal (1GC)
-1 point for each goal conceded (GLC)
A Midfielder (MID) will score…
4 points for each goal scored (GLS)
1 points for a clean sheet (CLS)
A Striker (STK) will score…
3 points for each goal scored (GLS)
All players will score…
3 points for a win (WIN)
-3 points for a green card (GRN)
-5 points for a yellow card (YEL)
-10 points for a red card (RED)

I really like this idea and think it’ll add some spice to the season… BUT (and it’s a big but)… We need someone to run it that’s got more of an idea than the incumbent.
To name a few issues I have; individual positions are wrong AGAIN, 5 strikers??? Come on! Inside forwards belong in the midfield and some half-backs are classified as midfielders. Put them at the back where they belong. Iain Rowe is listed in the midfield – the bloke has been a defenders his entire life. Same with Corey Joseph, Higgo, etc etc. I could go on but we’d be here forever.
Also, the lines should be 3-3-4-1…

feel free to set up your own league with your suggested formation. Cyclone has to deal with people giving him inaccurate descriptions of people’s positions and re-doing the whole league because of various other trouble shooting problems.
it is never going to be perfect but remember we dont have champion data stats here so 2 defenders 3 halves and 5 forwards is the most traditional and therefor the easiest set up. Until Gerard gets someone from every team giving him accurate descriptions of players and their positions it will be tough.
ps. Higgo played a fair bit at centre half last year, thats about as midfield as it gets.

The lineup thing from my limited knowledge is not adjustable team by team and you have limited options to choose from so that is the best fit…
As for team lineups – unfortunately Cyclone doesnt have the time to go round to every clubs training and watch were people are lining up – the big problem is people from each club not feeding him the info which is being adjusted in the weeks leading up to the season as squads get formalised. So instead of complaining email him the changes that need to be made!!
