Fantasy Football
The official premier league site run a free fantasy football league. If people would like to play I can set us up our own league. What do people think? Is it worth a go?
The site is http://fantasy.premierleague.com/
You will need to register and then pick a team. Then you can enter a code to join the freesprits league.
I will send you the code.
The season starts this saturday but I can make the league delay a week if people need more time.

I already have registerd for the Telegraph, which I've been doing for years. (There's also a league at work which is open to all comers. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll send you the details)
However, I'll see if I can register for this tomorrow morning Sam.

I'm in boys!
Unfortunately I had to pick a Premiership team to "support" and have gone for the closest, Reading. Not my team but one of my boys follows them.
My hope is that next season my team, Come on you saints!, will be back in the top division. Close last year and with little spent, despite selling our best players, I'm not that confident but saints fans have lived for years on crumbs and droppings from the rich people's tables!
Let's see if we can win the fantasy league instead.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH
Scored 46 points this week but missed out big time. Dropped Adebayor and put in Rooney because my Manc supporting mate said he would play.
Last time I trust a Moan U fan to know anything about football.
Did OK with Bale though. He scored and then left the pitch before the Arse won the game.
Closing on the two above me but a long way to the leader.
On the starting from scratch issue, could we not have a separate league starting say 1st October?

I've restarted our league so it began counting scores from week five, our first week when we were all together. We now have a level playing field so there can be no excuses.
All our teams remain as they wereot and well done to stan for doing so well.
Shall we have a rowing forfeit for finishing bottom?

I only wish that Saints were following my example.
Last weekend we lost -at home - to a 93rd minute goal - against 10 men!
There is surely only one way to go from there?
Fantasy team is doing OK. I think it was around the 100,000th position for the week which is top 10% so happy with that.
Still need to tinker with it though.
Can different formations be selected? I'm on a 4-4-2 now but would prefer a 4-3-3. Can this be done?

I had a Reading defender - he got negative points this week. My goal keeper (Schmeichel) didnt play this week either, so only 45 points this time. Fabregas is my captain and he has been scoring very well recently. I gather the captain scores double, which explains my rather lofty position. Much like with Man City, I keep expecting a nose dive at any moment.

You may have been the victim of an automatic substitution. If one of your players get injured after you have selected your team it is automatically subbed with the player at the top of your sub list.
This avoids the useless lump just sitting there while scoring zero. If he was replaced by a Spurs or Reading defender you may have prefered to score zero!
