Northants Bar Billiards League is proud to continually innovate – and this year is no exception. For the Winter 2018/19 season we are delighted to bring you Dream Team – your chance to pick your favourite players and score points based on their performances.
transfer window – CLOSED
With a quarter of the season completed the first Transfer Window has now closed.
The next transfer window will be at the end of January and players can take this opportunity to further shake up their selections – trade in those who are costing you points and try to secure the services of those who will make an all important difference to your league position.
You are limited to three changes only. This means that you can change your chosen team and two players – or retain your selected team and change three players. You do not have to make three changes – you can make fewer than that if you wish. After your changes have been made your line-up must still consist of one team and five players.
Budgets
You were originally allocated a budget of £50m to spend’s on your Dream Team – but times change and player values fluctuate based on their performances. As such you will notice some differences. All teams have been maintained at their original values, but player values have been modified. This will impact your budget!
For any player you choose to sell, you will receive their TFW1 market value (whether that is higher or lower). For players you choose to buy, this will also be at their TFW1 market value. It is entirely possible that your team value has increased over the last 9 weeks and therefore you will benefit from that increase. Alternatively, if your team has lost value you will be subject to that reduced budget.
To make your changes simply complete and submit the form below by midnight on Sunday 2nd December. If there are any queries or you make invalid choices you will be contacted by the Dream Team administrators.

More details will be posted soon!
