Fantasy Football - English Premier League

Are you ready for some football?

The English Premier League kicks off on August 11.

The Fantasy Football site is open for the new season,
with 270,000 players already signed up.

I have set up a league for our Wordforge players.

I hope that we get everyone back from last year,
and some new players as well.

The game is fun, and easy to play.


Go - here - to register.

Use this code: 153344-56239 - to enter the Wordforge League.

I'll enter on Friday, when other half isn't at work and can, um, advise me.
In the meantime, I'll sticky this, ready for the new season.

I don't know if I should bother after my appalling showing last season. Then again I do take a great deal of morbid satisfaction for finishing ahead of Stallion...

First time ever?? Especially after your trouncing at the world cup!

*Ahem* I've TWICE finished ahead of you now, 2 seasons running! And the World Cup FF doesn't count.

I have just registered the winning team in the league!

Colchester 1-1 Liverpool XI

Liverpool's youngsters travelled to Layer Road.
Official attendance 3,761.
The pitch was in excellent condition.
Colchester didn't play anyone over 40.

-

Two weeks before the start of the season
and fantasy football has over 500,000 teams.

Please note that the following matches:

Arsenal-Newcastle
Liverpool-West Ham

scheduled for game week 2,
have been postponed.

Make-up dates TBA.

Blackburn will play a UEFA Cup qualification match on Thursday, 8/15.
The match between Blackburn and Aston Villa has been postponed.

There are now 6 teams that do not play a match in game week 2
of the Fantasy League.

Looks like we'r still waiting on some team entry's, Lurker, Phil and El Chu. I will email the egg chaser tonight and give him the code as well.

Who?

Linda's Loafers have now reported for duty.

Where's Ecky?

League 1 news - Leyton Orient are already 15 points clear of the once-mighty Leeds United - and the season hasn't even started yet!

I think Leeds have got off bloody lightly. I'd love to know what really went on in that business.

Carlos Tevez is set to debut for Manchester United
on Wednesday, at either Dunfermline or Glentoran.

John Terry is out of action for a month.

Everton are closing on Leighton Baines.

On the new Fantasy Football homepage,
you can hit the news tab,
to keep up with all the action in the Premier League.

The deadline for the first week of Fantasy Football
is Saturday morning, 8/11 at 11:30 BST.

If you want to change your team, get in there,
the site is running a little slow.

The Wordforge League has everyone back from last year,
except Ecky, who has not yet entered a team.

Chopra scores!

Sunderland have beaten Tottenham 1-0.

Twas a disgrace. I think it was crucial to win the first game to avoid the slow start we had last term and now I'm pissed off. Alas we have one of the best strike forces in the country, yet we have to put up with jokers like Jenas, who couldn't control the midfield even if he had a contract outon his head.

There you go. We made it thru the first week of Fantasy Football.

PGT is off to a flying start.
With over a million players in the game, he's in the top 30,000.

We have a short week coming up, the next transfer deadline
is Tuesday evening. Check the schedule before you make your transfer.

Wayne Rooney will be out for two months.
He will miss England's qualifiers with Russia and Isreal.

David Beckham sat out the Galaxy's loss to New England.

Great start for me. Just puuuuurfect.

Well, to be fair you were up against the best and most expensive british goal keeper ever!

If only that gloat was worth it, but frankly we didn't have many good shots on target and it was Scumderland's defence and midfield that kept us at bay.

Disaster!

6 first team regulars of the Allstars are not in action this gamesweek!!!

They're not playing because their teams aren't in action, dopey. You'll pick up their points the next time their teams play, so you're not losing out on much (unless these players are injured, or not likely to be picked )

Bwa-and-a-haha!

Everton, Everton, Everton.

Spurs kick a kicking. 3-1.

Ah, words of wisdom. How about, if you get the free transfers right you can pick up points in all games weeks!

And are rock bottom of the league!

Don't worry--the same's probably happened to most of us.





Well, except me. I'm missing just one reserve.
