Fantasy Football League 2007/08

[Donny Dave]

Where has the summer gone? The start of the new season is only just around the corner, and with that, a new season of the Premier League Fantasy Football is about to start.

To get started, goto http://fantasy.premierleague.com and create your own team, then join the league I have setup.

The code you need to join the RailUK league is : PM me if you want to join the league

 

[Max]

Yay! Go Humberside Harriers

 

[nath9425]

Chiltern Cheaters here we come!

 

[TheSlash]

Just put my team in.

 

[Guinness]

Charlie's Angels. 16 fit girls on Central Trains for a Hen Night? Is that where I get my inspiration from?

 

[Julian G]

Go,Go, Go the Chelsea Vans

 

[Donny Dave]

Scunny Ironmasters will take on all comers. Even with 3 Wigan players in my team hock:

Apart from Chaz, is there anyone else who wants to put a small wager on the outcome?

 

[Mintona]

Yeah, bring on Minty's Might Men...ahem...

 

[Techniquest]

HST Thrash United?

Considering my current username...?

To save on having lots of guesses posted, I will say I chose a slightly odd name, Voyager Veggers.

As for that small wager Dave...Well I reckon you'll have a good chance of winning. So I propose if you win, I buy you a pint (in addition to those I already owe you). If I win, you buy me a pint. Not that I'd put huge odds on the latter!

 

[Gizmogle]

Haha, oh dear, this looks like it's gonna be fun! Gonna give it a go

 

[TheSlash]

I notice you can't see who other people have got in their team....

 

[Donny Dave]

Not until after the first deadline. After that, you can laugh your backside off when you see who has chosen which players ....

 

[Donny Dave]

Anybody else interested in joining the league?

 

[Meld]

[Donny Dave]

14 teams so far. Any more people interested?

Just under a week to go before the season starts.

PS. I'll be removing the code and moving the topic just before the big kick off, so there will be no more entries after that.

 

[Guinness]

Regarding the Wager, anyone else want to stick something like a Tenner on or something?

 

[Donny Dave]

Chaz, now I'm working again, your on 8)

 

[pedned]

BR BLUES!!
You'll see us coming, we've got a yellow warning panel!!

 

[Donny Dave]

The code for joining the league has been removed. If you want to join now, please PM me for the code.

I wonder who Virgin Voyager FC is?

On that note... Jewish Gooks is my brother's team.

 

[Techniquest]

I wasn't sure either to begin with (not done this before), but it's dead easy after a while.

Best bet is to PM Dave I reckon if you get stuck. Or just hit Help on the page itself.
