After our recent review of Player Manager, we’ve linked up with the organisers of the game to bring you an exclusive tournament offering something new to light up your season run-in. Perfect for the Fantasy Premier League Manager who has perhaps given up on his mini-league chase, the Scout Player Manager League offers £400 in prize funds. Interested? Thought you might be.
The League will start this weekend (gameweek 31) and will run until the end of the season. The league placings will be calculated using the best score from all your solo games each gameweek (friends leagues don’t count) and the best 4 of these determines your position on the leaderboard. With 8 gameweeks to go, you have plenty of opportunity to rack up 4 decent scores and, with best 4 of 8, it matters less if you have a missed or bad-scoring week. You can of course also enter as many teams as you like over these gameweeks, with teams costing 10 credits (£1) for entry.
Player Manager are giving away £400 of credits to the top four in the league with £200 going to the winner and £100, £60 and £40 going to the next 3 places (payout positions will be combined in the event of any ties). These credits can be withdrawn or left in the kitty for next season of course.
Those who wish to enter the Scout League for this tournament can do so by emailing “In” to this address scout@playermanager.com. Make sure you send it from the address you’ll be using at Player Manager. Scores will only count after you send the email. Sadly, Player Manager and therefore this tournament, remains available only to players in the UK and ROI. The game and league is also limited to those aged 18 and over.
In Player Manager, you create a “shopping list” of players and set a maximum bid for each. The players are then automatically auctioned in each league you enter. There’s no need for you to do the bidding; like eBay, your maximum bid determines whether you get the player and at what price.
You might want to take in our recent Preview and Review of the game for more background information, while Player Manager’s own FAQ section tells you all you need to know about playing the game. The game’s creator, Jason Bryant (Scout username “djembe”) is also on-hand to answer any of your questions – so feel free to fire away!
