With the premiership about to kick off is anybody interested in a fantasy football league for the members of this forum??
There are plenty of free sites out there offering private leagues if the interest is there I will set it up

The best online game by far is at uk.premiership.fantasysports.yahoo.com/footballYou can change your team every week and has the best points scoring system. Players value also change each week based on their performance. Last year there were 300,000 players but we can set our own mini league up. One word of warning though. I've finished in the top 100 for the past 3 years and once came 7th out of 500,000!! Anyone want to put some money on it ;D I'll set up a league for us if there is enough interest, you'll need to pick your 1st team by noon Saturday to get in for Week 1 fixtures.

I'm in with the optimistically named 'ed is beating andy!' - andy mate, how does the scoring work in terms of is it best to have lots of goal scorers or do defenders and strikers tend to end up with the same amount of points?

You can only go 442 433 or 352, defenders who score lots of goals are the best picks lol ;D ;D

A few bits of advice on how it works.
Your team rolls over from week to week but you can make changes every new week. All changes must be made by the deadline, which can vary but is usually noon on Saturdays.
Sometimes teams have 2 matches in a week so some players may get to play 2 games.
If a player has a good week his value will go up, but if you sell him you only get back the money you paid for him. To buy him back you have to play the full current price.
Most of the points are won by offensive players (Goals, Assists crosses). Defenderas get most of their points from clean sheets.
Goalies either have very good or very bad weeks!

Ok - I have entered a team so you all may as well withdraw your teams from the league and accept defeat gracefully.
