Premier League Fantasy Football 2008/2009

[Ian]

The 2008/09 Fantasy Football competition is open once again

If you want to join in, the website is http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

I've set up the same PCR league again, with the joining code of "7581-2649". However, if you join please post in this thread with your team name - as I'll remove teams that haven't posted here to keep the league free of people we don't know

The league starts around the beginning of August, so plenty of time to get a team in You can make a team now, but make as many changes as you want before the league starts - as players will be moving around a lot.

Rush, you'll be pleased as I've picked a Stoke player Was tempted to go for Fuller, but went for Lawrence instead

 

[crazylegs]

I'm in under my usual moniker... Best of luck to all this season..

 

[Taffycat]

I'm in - I've just chosen my team - Taffy's Catsters, same as last time

Edit: By the way, when they talk about "goals conceded" is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Sorry it's probably a dumb question

Goals conceded is a bad thing, as it is how many goals your team have let in against the opposition. Defenders get points for not conceeding any, so you want this number to be small ideally

Ahh, thank you Ian, I had a feeling it might be, but needed to check and make certain

Joined up & FeckitsFeckers are up for it this season.
We cant do worse than last season, can we!

 

[nivrip]

I'm in the league as Nivrip United. Same as last year.


The chairman of the club said, "We're very happy with the manager. He did very well last season keeping the club in the Premiership in our first season there. We just need a couple more players and I think we may be able to push for a place in Europe by the end of the season. At the end of the day, I'll be over the moon if we can get into the top six. I just hope we get the rub of the green and that referees give us a level playing field when we play the Top Four. If we get a lot of decisions going against us and lots of injuries I'll be as sick as a parrot."

Now listen up, after the poor season by FeckitUnited the team have been re-branded FeckitsFeckers.
With a new improved team we will be looking for a top 5 spot & European football.

And no ringers this time!!!

I'm a bit puzzled - when I looked at my Footy page, I noticed that I'm shown in TWO leagues? One being PCR - the other "Head to Head" but I have no idea how this can be, because I didn't join it?

When I joined in a few days ago, I simply clicked on my shortcut (from last season) and after confirming my details, was signed in. It wasn't even necessary to add the code, because my League was still shown as PCR.

I don't seem to be able to delete myself from the other League. I've tried "Manage Leagues" but that only offers the option of leaving PCR.... ooh-er... can anyone enlighten me please? Thank you guys.

Edit: Duh...! I'm sorry guys, but I've just discovered the answer I think. Found some FAQs:

In addition, within an hour of joining you will be automatically entered into a public league with 19 other players.

Should have looked there first that's it, time I was asleep!

 

[crazylegs]

I was just about to write a ten minute response detailing why you were in there Taffy, but glad you found the info in the faq's..

Saves my fingers..

For anyone else that doesn't know why they are in a head to head situation, its a new thing premier league have introduced for a bit of extra fun and I have played this format before and its great..Not so great if you go out early though as then your just a passenger in the comp for the rest of the season..
Doesn't affect your team or main leagues though in the rest of the game..

[Ian]

Is there anyone still wanting to join that hasn't done so yet?

I'm going to lock the league soon, and then ask people to confirm in here who you are - then I'll delete the rest (as I'm sure there are some non PCR people in the league, positive in fact! ).
