A Most Excellent Standard

Dear Contemporaries of the English game of football,

Fact: The three most internationally flavored leagues in the world are the English Premier League, the German Bundesliga and the Jakarta International Football League.

Fact: Percent of foreigners in the English Premier League is 65% foreign-born, the Bundesliga is 60% foreign-born and finally the JiFL which boasts 95% foreign-born.

Fact: So we are Number One in the world... Yippy, No. 1!!!

Here are some other leagues from around Europe with what their percent of foreign-born players to nationals ratio is currently topping at this precise moment in time. Keep in mind that this is not based on nationalized players, these are foreign-born players meaning they were born in countries other than the country stated: Swiss Super League (55%), the Portuguese SuperLiga (55%), Italia Serie A (45%), France Ligue 1 (45%) and Spanish Primera Division (43%).

Since there will be no Manchester United match in Jakarta this year, next week is the first chance to see the finest players from the JiFL compete in the 1st Annual JiFL All-Star match.

I know the score – scoring system

Wrong outcome
Example: You predict Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2   -10

Correct outcome but wrong goal difference
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 4 - Chelsea 2   +10

Correct outcome and correct goal difference
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 3 - Chelsea 2   +15

The draw predicted correctly but incorrect result
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 2 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 1   +20

Correct result
Example: You predict Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2   +30

Correct Banker Placement
If you place the Banker Chip on any correct outcome your points score for that fixture is multiplied. If a fixture contains a team that finished within the top 4 league places in the previous Gameweek the multiplier will be x2 otherwise it will be x3.

Correct Insurance Placement
Example: If you placed your Insurance chip on a fixture whose outcome you predicted incorrectly then the worst you can score is 0.

Banker Bonus
If you place your Banker correctly your Banker Bonus for the following week is credited with +5 points up to a maximum of +20. If you place your Banker incorrectly, your Banker Bonus is reset to zero for the following week. If you decide not to play your Banker your bonus will be protected but you will not score your bonus for that Gameweek.

On correct outcome the Banker Bonus works as follows:
Wk0..........0
Wk1..........+5
Wk2..........+10
Wk3..........+15
Wk4 (maximum)..........+20
Wk5 (maximum)..........+20
