    It's that time of the year: I have founded a league in the Kicker Manager Game (PRO).

    To join, go to www.kicker.de. "Games" at the top, and then select Managerspiel PRO (or just PRO) from the dropdown menu. You will get the Managerspiel PRO homepage. Click on Managerliga, which you can find on the horizontal menu near the top of the page. From there, select Liga Betreiten. A search box comes up. Search for bigsoccer.com, and then join the league. The league opens on August 18, 2014 at midnight Berlin time, so be sure to sign up before then so as not to miss the first transfer period. We can take a maximum of 18 players total.



    Consider joining the fun. First of all, it is free. Basic rules (assuming they haven't changed materially) are that on August 18 2014, you will be assigned a team of 13 players and given millions in virtual cash. Your team is randomly assigned. Some of the assigned players are players that will never play a game, some are quite good. At that point, you can decide to keep some (or all) of your players, or sell some or all of them and receive cash for them. You can than take your stash of virtual cash and buy any unassigned player you want through an auction process. However, other players may also bid on players, so if you want someone, you'll have to make sure your bid is the highest (it's a blind bid process, so you don't know what other teams are bidding, although you will know if you have any competition for the players).

    No player can be owned by more than one team in our league. So if you want Lewandowski, you've got to be the highest bidder. I believe you need a minimum of 14 or, and you can have a maximum of 18 players. There will be two transfer periods before the season starts August 21, 2014 in which you can purchase available players. Once the season starts, you can select your starting line-up from the players you bought/retained (which line-up you can change every week), and after each game, a new transfer period opens up, which allows you to buy or sell additional players throughout the season. There's a points system that is based on on the kicker rating system for players (plus points for starting, playing, player of the match, goals, assists, red cards). Each week has a winner (the team with the most points), and there is a cumulative table as well to determine the overall champion. If we get 18 players, we can also do a head-to-head league (where you "play" one team each week, in addition to the regular competition, with the team with the most points winning and getting three points, just like the regular BL table).

    Bump. Let's try to get as many players as we can. The more the merrier!

    It came down to the last week of the season, with the Halloweenies overtaking The Lads in Spieltag 33 by a few points and winning the last Spieltag to clinch the championship by 30 points. The Left Backs were the hottest team at the end of the season and surged into third place, 53 points behind The Lads.

    To those who played this season, congrats and thanks. To those who didn't, we'd love to have you play when the 2015-16 season kicks off. The league will start forming sometime in mid- to late July, and we'd love to fill all 18 team slots available. Keep a look out in this space for news.
