Dream R’s
This is our very own fantasy football / Dream Team game based around QPR. Remember Fantasy Rangers on QPRnet? Well this is the same thing just in our new home. You are tasked with picking a team of eleven QPR players whilst remaining within a set budget and you will earn points based on how those players perform over the coming season.
It is FREE to play and we’ll offer a QPR prize to the winner if we can get over 60 players. Deal? Prizes for the top 3 if we get over 100 players? Keep the entries coming!
You can either enter your team now based on the current squad or hold off until just after the transfer window closes to see who we may be adding to the squad. Any new players we sign will be added to the available players up to the entry deadline on 6th September 2017.
If you are not already a member you need to register to the site and choose a username to enter the game so we can give updates, verify your entry and of course be in touch if you win. So if you aren’t already registered it will literally take you 1 minute by clicking Register near the top right of the screen or simply clicking here:
Register for QPR Forum/Dream R's
You will then be able to enter the Dream R’s section of the site where the entry form is held.
You need to enter your QPR Forum username and the email address that you used to register to our site on the Dream R’s entry form.
Anyway, here is a further overview including the rules of Dream R’s, showing how it works, the rules and how to pick your team.
Game Details
Dream R’s is a “Fantasy Football" / "Dream Team” type game based around Queens Park Rangers football club. Your job as manager is to pick the best QPR side you can within an allowed budget – your Dream R’s.
You must pick a team of eleven QPR players to represent your team and their real life performances will generate their Dream R’s scores. The person at the end of the season with the highest points total will be deemed the winner of this inaugural season of Dream R’s.
Picking Your Squad
You must pick a team of eleven QPR players.
Here comes your first decision as manager of your Dream R’s – which formation to pick...You have 2 choices... 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, that gamble is down to you.
So you’ll either have 1 goalkeeper, 4 defenders, 3 midfielders and 3 strikers or 1 goalkeeper, 4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 2 strikers to choose.
Please note that the players' positions are for the purpose of the game only, for example, if James Perch plays a game in midfield he will still score points as a defender (see “Scoring Points” below).
Each QPR squad member has been assigned a rating from 1 to 5; this is their 'Dream R’s value’. Your eleven players total Dream R’s values must not exceed your allocated “spending” budget of 40 Dream R’s points.
The players’ Dream R’s value is specified in the "value" column. For example, new boy Alex Baptiste will cost 3 of your 40 Dream R’s points to buy. The full squad listing, including the applicable positions and Dream R’s value is as follows:

As mentioned any new signings made by QPR before the entry deadline will be added to the list of available players.
Scoring Points
You earn or lose points based on what actually happens to the players through QPR’s season. All competitions count; The Championship including any possible Play-Offs (wishful thinking), FA Cup, and League Cup (if we are still in it) and players score in the following ways:
First Team Start
+ 10 Points
Substitute Appearance
+ 5 points
Goal Scored
+ 5 Points
Hat-trick
+ 10 Bonus Points (plus the 15 points for the three goals so 25 total)
Yellow Card
- 2 Points
Red Card (2 yellows)
-5 Points
Straight Red Card
-10 points
As well as this, your Goalkeeper and Defenders earn and lose points based on goals conceded as follows:
Clean Sheet
+ 5 Points
Every Goal Conceded
- 2 Points
Be aware that if a player makes an appearance at any point of a match he scores as if he had played the full game. Therefore if your defender is taken off he will still lose points for any goals conceded after he leaves the pitch, conversely he will earn points for clean sheets as if he was still playing. This rule also works the same if a player comes onto the pitch, they will be penalised for goals conceded before they came on.
Example: if Jack Robinson comes on in the 87th minute and we win 2-0 he would score 5 points for his substitute appearance plus 5 points for the clear sheet = 10
However, if he comes on in the 87th minute, gets booked and we lose 3-0 he would score -3 (5 points for sub appearance but then -6 for 3 goals conceded in the game and -2 for the yellow card)
Points awarded for goals scored or points lost for red and yellow cards will not be adjusted if these decisions are overturned at a later date.
Players continue to gain or lose points as appropriate throughout any periods of extra time that QPR may play during cup or play off competitions. Penalty shoot outs however do not count for point scoring.
It goes without saying, but a player who does not feature in a match scores zero points.
Captains Loyalty Double / Goal Difference
You are required to pick a ‘captain’ and ‘vice captain’ for you Dream R’s. These will be crucial decisions for your team as you will see as you read on.
Whichever of your players you name as your main skipper will earn double points for you. However, you must be loyal to your captain and you will not be able to transfer him out of your team when the transfer window opens; that is the gamble on who to pick!
You also need to choose a vice captain who again you must be loyal to and he cannot be transferred during the season. His score doesn’t double but the score of your vice captain will be added to the doubled score of your captain and this will be used as a sort of ‘goal difference’ if 2 Dream R’s players scores are tied.
So if for example your captain’s double score is 400 over the season and your vice captain scores 100 for the season your ‘goal difference’ would be 500. The higher the better. If you had a tied game score with another player then the player with the higher score from their captain and vice captain combined will place higher. More simple than it sounds I assure you, if in doubt just pick the 2 players that you think will score you the most points!
Transfers
Speaking of the transfers... just like real life there will be one transfer window in the season, giving you the chance to refresh your squad, replace your underachievers and bring in some new blood. The transfer window will open for a week or two sometime towards the close of the January window to give you opportunity to change three of your team for new faces. But not your captain or vice captain of course! Nevertheless, you’ll have 9 players up for the chop provided you stay within the 40 point Dream R’s budget.
The exact dates of the window will be announced nearer the time to fit in with fixture gaps. This will be announced on the QPR Forum in the Dream R’s section.
Winner
The winner will be the person who at the end of the season (determined by the last competitive game QPR play in) who has accumulated the highest total of Dream R’s points.
If for any reason this score is drawn between one or more players the winner is decided by the ‘goal difference’ of the combined score of your captain and vice captain.
If it is still drawn after that the winner will then be decided by the team with the best defence (the total score of your 4 defenders compared to another player). If it is still all square after all of that it will simply be a tie!
Prizes
The main prize will always be the pride of winning of course and you will go into the Hall of Fame! But as mentioned in the introduction, if we can get more than 60 Dream R’s players there will be a QPR related prize for the winner of the competition. If we get over 100 players then the top 3 will each bag a QPR prize.
Updates
The Dream R's section on the site will be updated at least once a month to include current league standings, but hopefully more frequently! Updates will be announced in the Dream R’s section of the QPR Forum.
