Of course, it's a fantasy competition. So go ahead and make up your details (aside from your Bigfooty name of course). You can claim to be a 177cm 75kg flanker even if you're a 55 year old with back issues who has eaten a few too many pies.

Teams get a 24 hour window to bid for your services before YOU make a final decision on which team you will join.

We would love to have you on board. If you're not sure, have a look around the place. Or read through the basic information below. Please remember to check out all teams before making a decision as you will be unable to change clubs during the season (outside of trade period).

Information:​

Want to play footy from your couch? This is for you! The Sweet FA is a fantasy football league running on Bigfooty forums. The teams consist of players who are forum members, actual people such as you. The league started in 2001 and - at the time I type this - is about to embark upon its 22nd season, in 2016.

The matches are decided by a text simulator called Qooty. The matches play out entirely randomly. The simulator produces a text transcript of commentary, provides statistics, and maintains a season. Results here are determined entirely by the random number generating functions of a computer.

EG of the sim in action:

4 : 20.19 {rHFF} - Handpasses to okeydoke7.
4 : 20.23 {FF} - Pumps it long for Marlowe.
4 : 20.25 {FF} - The ball drops short of Marlowe.
4 : 20.3 {FF} - Marlowe wants to get on with proceedings.
4 : 20.34 {FF} - Chance for a goal here for Marlowe.
4 : 20.37 {FF} - That's one of those special goals. Number 6 for Marlowe.
Mt Buller Demons : 14.20.104
Gold City Royals : 18.10.118

The sim generates statistics so you can chat about your performance:

How the league operates:

The viability/success/growth of the league is normally agreed to centre around "activity" amongst the player base. That is to say, banter, boasting, excuse-making, big calls, dares, and any form of drama that makes the environment an interesting, amusing and perhaps volatile one for participants. Approaches vary from taking one's performance very seriously to putting oneself down at every opportunity.

Each match has its own thread where pre-match banter is key. The games will be posted in there on Sundays in post-form. Each team has its own thread also for in-house discussion ranging from SFA to absolutely anything like TV shows and sports.

Just like in a real-life league, each season culminates in a finals series, a Grand Final, and a set of awards. There is no reason not to feel a sense of prestige in any of these achievements. Clubs are always looking for new talent. While on-field performance is completely random, players whose real-life personas actively participate - posting regularly, adding value to the discussion and debate - are prized members of the Sweet FA community.

So if you can see the fun in a bit of role-play, and want to see yourself running around gathering possessions and kicking goals, without getting off your arse, then WELCOME TO THE SWEET FA!
