We have two vacancies in the coaching ranks for next year with Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs coach relinquishing the team and Staines Steins being declared vacant under British rules.
British xvs uses a customised UF scoring system.
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs have been a top 8 team but have faltered a little over the last year. Staines Steins have been in the cellar for a few years and will represent a challenge to the new coach.
We invite applications from coaches to coach either of these teams. We ask that you apply in this thread giving details of your involvement in Fantasy Football over the years, a commitment to coach the team for the full year and beyond and how you would take the teams forward.

Please feel free to PM me if further information is required,
Could I take over that Steins lineup along with Manchester? Looks Dynamo! :P
Seriously though, get your applications in!
will probably get t dog to apply
Mods, Coaches.
I would like to put my hand up to be Coach of the Staines Steins.
Would love the challenge to make this team a strong force to reckon with.
There is the foundation there & with the right trades & delistings, & drafting participation, finals in 2017 could be there on the horizon.
Have been a member of FF from 2009 & currently the Head coach of the following teams:
Carolina Panthers AXV111 SC. Made the 2016 GF in my first year as Coach after taking over late in the Pre Season.
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,105440.msg1728449.html#new
UAE Tigers AXV's. Made the 2016 Finals in my first year as Coach
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,104974.msg1728453.html#new
Arizona Scorpions AXV111 DT. Made the DT Finals in 2016 after taking over just prior to the start of the 2016 Season.
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,106350.0.html
Also participate in UF, so the transition to the running platform for the British is of no problem.
Current ranking is Seasoned Coach.
Currently run Coaches Interviews: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,89881.0.html as well as being on the forum daily.
Always respond to the PM's that are received, even when overseas, as a few Coaches can relate to that have had dealings with myself in the above teams that I am Coach off.
In closing, thanks for having a read of my application.
nas.
I see NAS has applied to join this comp and he is one scary scary dude.
So to keep him honest I now apply to be a head Hedgehog.
I look at this team and say It has potential.
It has potential guns.
It has kids with potential.
It is a potential new coaches dream.
It is a traders nirvana.
Most of you will know the T Dog from other comps. Americas DT and SC and AXV Mod.
I have a wide and varied view on all players / picks value and their usefulness that a lot of you may find confronting.
I develop teams to a plan / model / idea that I have at the time.
I simply look for my own idea of incremental improvement in all deals
I never vote against another coaches trade movement. Coaches trade / deal for reasons I don't have to worry about, let alone have a say in. I figure my views are about my teams not yours.
If you really want to know how I travel, check out the SC Americas Colorado history, but for a real thrill wait til you see what ElPaso has done when trading opens. Minor premiership in that comp was just the prelude to next year.
So talking about next year then:
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs = Minor Premiers 2017 = Coached by T- Dog. If you are up for the challenge..then a vote for me is just that ;D
Two coaches who love to trade,what more could we ask for haha
I should mention that whoever becomes fearless leader of the Hedgehogs, I am happy to send through a few PMs explaining the direction we were going in and some general tips with the scoring system and line-up for BXV!

Calgary Fireflies from AXVIII is all I have to say ;)
But seriously interested might chuck a proper application up tomorrow arvo
I honestly believe that the BXV scoring system is the best one out there so make sure to get your applications in!!
Feels extremely daunting to be applying along with two of the finest to have ever graced the FF community. However I will have to spoil one of your parties slightly and formally apply for the top job for the Staines Steins. As nas said, it is a new coaches wet dream, it has a multitude of young guns, and with tinkering and refinement here and there, could be quite competitive in 2017.
- FF member since 2012.
- Inaugural coach of Kathmandu, Alberta & Nicaragua in various XV & XVIII leagues before leaving FF in 2014.
- I trade aggresively and chase who I want. People will, and have had, differing views on how I operate. One member took it a step further in 2014 so I left, shower happens, you have the right to disagree with me, but at the end of the day you have your team to worry about and I have mine.
- After being touted as spoon contenders when I left, Kathmandu made Top 4 (I think?) that season under PB, so I do know what Im talking about on occasion when it comes to player knowledge, I like to pick breakouts, except if theyre on my skin.
- Whoever has Trent Dumont you won’t have him much longer.
- Same with Brad Ebert, I will get my man. I did in Asians, if appointed I will here too. ;)
Anyway, if anyone has any questions happy to answer them here or via PM. As you can see its 3am so I’m sure I’ll edit/fix up my grammar tomorrow when I re-read it.

I have a good track record of assistants going on to great things. Just look at what Toga and Rico have achieved in Worlds after previously being under my wing.
Basically Alistair Clarkson. ;)

Last few hours to get your applications in guys! Hedgies will be looking to go further into finals next year, and the Steins list could go very deep into finals with the youth they have there, and the improvement that should come from it!
Good luck to the other two running coaches. :)
With only one coach left to vote I am happy to announce the successful applicants:
Nas will be coaching Staines Steins
T Dog will be coaching the Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs.
Congratulations to the 2 coaches. For all coaches if looking for an assistant coach can I suggest you approach Koop as I think he will be a valuable addition to your team.
Trading will commence on 9:00am on Wednesday as I wish to give the new coaches some time to sort through their lists prior to the period beginning.
Welcome nas and tdog! Look forward to trade talks with both of you ;D
Bad luck koop! I'm sure someone would be happy with you as an assistant :)
Congrats guys...
now nas.... lets get trading.... :P
Congrats guys
Congrats to the new coaches!
Congrats guys
I'll be pm'ing you both soon for trade talks haha :P
Thank you everyone.
Sadly you have all been beaten by the 1st trade talk offers.....WoW :o
Thanks all for the welcome & appreciate the vote for myself. Sorry Koop for missing out on the gig.
Pm's are coming fast, trying to get the new Steins page ready for who's available & not.
Just an update re trading, currently at work, so please don't worry, PM's will be answered.
Congrats nas & T Dog! :D
