Default Fantasy Football / English Premier League

I know this forum is predominately US but I wanted to gauge if there was any interest in setting up a FFR fantasy football league for the new English Premier League season starting 8th August.

The fantasy premier league is here: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

It's easy enough to pick up if you've never done it before and I can answer any questions too. You don't even necessarily need an in-depth knowledge of the Premier League to have fun with this but it helps if you're looking to win. I've got my wife doing it since last year and she hates football but loves the competition of trying to beat friends and family.

And if it wasn't against the rules we could consider putting credits into a pot and having manager of the month awards / overall top 3.

Anyone interested?

It's NAHT "soccer", Is Futbol skrub.
The "5GBP entry" thing kills it for me, but hey, who doesn't want £35,000 from making your dream Football team?

It's free. It's only £5 if you do the 'ultimate fantasy league', which has different rules and prizes.

Wait you mean there is actually a sport where we share the same team we like to watch?

My brother in law supports Spurs. I'm a Man Utd fan. I'm shocked how a makeshift defence and second choice goalkeeper have kept three clean sheets so far but Rooney shouldn't be up front and the goals need to start flowing. Looking forward to the match tomorrow against Club Brugge, the first tie has been the only entertaining match United have played this season.

I also have to say I'm glad this didn't kick off. This is my worst start to a fantasy football season by far. The results haven't helped, can barely predict any matches.

Oh right we should do an NFL fantasy football league again this year.

Also this looks interesting, I semi-follow EPL anyways. I'll take a look at the link you posted.

When I said that, my rank was 2.1 million (out of 3.7m total players) and I was in the bottom three of the mini-league I do with friends and family. I was below my wife, who hates football and picked players who 'had funny sounding names'. I was below an eight year old who's entire comprehension of picking football players was based on those collectible trading cards you get from magazines, namely the most famous people or go bust. It was an embarrassment.

By Christmas I had dragged it up to around 800,000 though I was still in the bottom half of the mini-league.

Ended up winning the mini-league and coming 161,000 overall. It's actually my third best result since starting this in 2011, so a fairly nice turnaround in results.

As a Manchester United fan, once I knew they had no chance of doing anything in the league I was rooting for Leicester. Just glad it wasn't Arsenal or City. I'd have been happy with Spurs winning too in all honesty, given how their team was the most exciting team of the second half of the season.
