Fantasy Football 2006-2007

Post by Who Shot Sam? »

Come one, come all. The World Cup is over and we know you're jonesing for more of the greatest game on Earth. How do you get more of the good stuff to satisfy your craving? Join the EC Fan Forum Premiership fantasy league, of course.

Maybe you're an English football neophtye. Maybe you're an MLS fan (yes, they walk among us ;-)). Maybe you're a longtime supporter of a particular club but have never dipped your toe in the fantasy waters. Maybe you're one of the wankers that beat my sorry team to a pulp last season. Or maybe you're one of the fortunate few who have seen the light and decided to support the glorious blue team from Stamford Bridge. Whatever the case may be, all are welcome (even Liverpool fans - after all, this is an Elvis Costello fan forum) - and it's free!!!

Here's what you need to do...

Go here to create your team:

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

Then click on Leagues and enter the league code: 108443-60104

For those who participated in the World Cup league, the user interface should look very famiiar, but you will be much more restricted in the number of players you can transfer in and out from week to week, unless you're willing to lose a few points.

Good luck!

Good speech, WSS !! (except for the "glorious blue team" part :wink: )

I'm joining the league next week. Unfortunately, I'll be away from Aug 14 to Aug 21, so last-minute changes, transfers and injuries might affect my team.

We (and I guess I'm employing the royal form) don't walk. We run, with our heads down, never making eye contact.

who are fixing to meet Mr. Heat and Mr. Humidity in Chicago. :P

Can someone there injure most of their first-team players?

I've signed up. Though I can't seem to join the league yet. Odd. Anytime I click on 'leagues' it gives me the user agreement and then when I click accept it puts me back at choosing my squad. I tried using auto-complete but even then, no way to access the leagues page.

It's a conspiracy I tell you!

That's a bit puzzling. Have you tried deleting cookies?

Oh, believe me, when there are cookies around, I get rid of them. :)

Will give it a try in a bit...

well, if they show... :lol:

I should boycott the game - none of my picks will even be playing and a whole lot of DC scum will. But it's this or another evening of watching endless L&O reruns.

I see that Donovain has already wussed out. Some All-Star team - half of them won't even be there!

I know you're disappointed, Sam. :lol:

I am, a little. More so over Dempsey. For whom (to bring this back around where it belongs) MLS supposedly turned down 2mil from Charlton?

They should let him go. I like Dempsey a lot and think he could be great for a team like Charlton. They could become your PL team. moody the Addick!

"Charlton were formed in June 1905 — as a boys club in an area of Charlton which is no longer residential — near where the London Flood Barrier is now. During their formative years playing at the Valley there was a lack of facilities at the ground. They often used to use a local fishmonger/fish and chip shop as a place to get changed for games. This is where Charlton's famous nickname is derived from: "addick" as a corruption of haddock, the main ware of this particular shop. Others claim the fishmonger nailed a haddock to a board and made a noise during games by slapping the two together; this seems somewhat far-fetched. Other alternative origins of the name include that they were 'football addicts' — an interpretation that because of negative connotations of the word 'addict' is no longer favoured — but also that 'addick' is a vernacular corruption of 'athletic', in the same way Wigan Athletic are known as the 'Latics'. None of these interpretations, however, is universally accepted."

Finally got registered into the league. I'd been completing my squad with auto-fill so that I could move forward, but it wouldn't work. So for the hell of it I actually picked a squad player by player, and *then* for some reason it went through. Go figure.

All in good time. Not this weekend, I suspect.

"Clubland" is inhabited by 11 teams now. Should have a few more than we did last year at this rate.

I have no objection - the more the merrier (and the less chance there is that I will finish at the bottom of the table). He's especially welcome if he's another Chelsea lad, I'm sure you'd all agree!
