NOT The Footy Show's Fantasy League - Phase 3 Entry Form (RD19-26)

FANTASY RUGBY LEAGUE 2011
PHASE THREE IS OPEN!

FANTASY LEAGUE PHASE THREE
ENTRY FORM


Matt - Finals Phase Player Tables - any errors/oversights that you can spot?



The 2011 NRL Season has seen the re-birth of a classic Fantasy League format that was made famous by Rugby League Week in the early to mid 1990s. 

Here on www.wdnicolson.com we have brought back the easiest Fantasy League format in history to make running a Fantasy Team a joy rather than a weekly hassel and there have been almost 100 entrants in the first two phases of NOT The Footy Show's Fantasy League.

As we enter Phase Three - there is one more chance for you to beat the field and take home a NRL Merchandise Prize.

The scoring system couldn't be simpler - Players in Tables 1-12 get points for any Tries (4 Points) or Field Goals (1 Point) they kick in each game they play and Players in Table 13 (Goalkickers) get points from any Tries (4 Points), Field Goals (1 Point) and Goals (2 Points).

And given you pick your team for a phase rather than week to week - knowing you can sit back and enjoy the ride makes it extremely easy to play and worry free.

The tables for Phase Three were created at the completion of Round 17 of the 2011 Premiership - so any injuries that came after that are not factored into each table. While Johnathan Thurston hurt himself in Origin 3 - he should be back for the final few weeks so if you want to take a punt on him (or William Hopoate) that's up to you!
Phase Three begins in Round 19 and runs until the end of Round 26.
To enter your team simply pick one player from each position category and sit back and watch them do all the work. The Entry Form is below - but given entry is limited to one per person make sure you take special care in who you pick - because it will be the team you are given for Phase Three.
TIP: Scroll through the selections during the pre-season but don't submit your team unless you are really really sure it is the squad you want.
Get your family, friends and co-workers involved - you will find it is a Fantasy Game that anyone can play and it is far more engrossing than the more complicated statistical ones - because there's real time payoff for your selections when you're watching the game with NOT The Footy Show's Fantasy League.

ENTRIES OPEN FOR PHASE THREE
ENTRIES CLOSE FRIDAY JULY 15 
FOR PHASE THREE!
If you would like a copy of your team please email the Fantasy League Admin and it will be forwarded to you.
*IMPORTANT* Please don't enter multiple teams for each Phase.
If you enter a team and then want to change that team please EMAIL FANTASY LEAGUE ADMIN with the details of the team you want used for the Phase. So if you enter a team for PHASE TWO and want to change it before Round 19 kicks-off - email your NAME, EMAIL, TWITTER HANDLE and TEAM NAME to that address so the old team can be deleted.
Back your judgement and see how it compares to everyone else.
Weekly Leaderboards and Phase Winners will be announced via The NRL Tweet and The NOT The Footy Show Weekly Podcast
Make sure you pick as many healthy players as possible - because you can't make any changes during the Phase.
So enter today and pit your raw Fantasy League skills against the best!
