Hi All

Our annual fantasy football (soccer state-side) is on again! I've created a league for the 2007 / 2008 English Premiership, for any Enworlders who are interested.

The league is located at http://fantasy.premierleague.com/, it's purely for fun and all are welcome.

The season starts 11th August. The joining code for the Enworlders Utd league is 86419-21080. No actual knowledge of football is needed (although it may give an advantage) and there's no limit on the number of people who can join.

This is the third year of the Enworlders Utd League. Last year's winners were the BoltonRoad Wanderers, managed by Loki44, and the Cereal Donkeys (my team) won the first time around.

So far we have:

FC Arkham - Theron
Cereal Donkeys - detomo
Hampshire Exiles - OakwoodDM
New Crobuzon United - GMSharka
BoltonRoad Wanderers - Loki44
Håkons Engler - Gulla
Wandering Hillbillys - Deng
FC Greyhawk - johnsemlak
Bostero FC - thud13x
Sherad's Scorers - ?
FC Flora - ScyldSceafing
The Hivemind - Tallarn

Cheers,

Duncan

Hi. I've joined. That's my Hampshire Exiles. You may recall me from the first year. I went away last year because some friends wanted to try a different fantasy football game, but I'm back again ready and raring to go for the new season!

Huzzah! I can't wait until August (namely, because this year, I know what I'm doing from the outset.)

Believe me, you can still do worse when you know what you're doing

True. I think I single-handedly crippled more players by choosing them for my squad than anyone else in the game.

I'll be in again, probably with "Håkons Engler" if the system allows Norvegian Characters, otherwise I'll have to translate it again. I'll hopefully not have to change all of the team in week 4 this year, but it takes a few weeks to find out who will be playing each match and which stupid managers "rotate the team".

But I'll beat you all, anyway

OK, I'm really in now, with a placeholder team. I'll need to get closer to kick off to decide on the details.

Just a friendly warning (to the newcommers mostly, I guess) about gameweek 2. If I'm not counting wrong there are only 8 matches in that week meaning that 4 teams don't play. I guess it's caused by the champion's league qualifier since the teams are Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham.

So more than 4 players from these teams from the start will mean a reduced squad in gameweek 2. The games have not yet been rescheduled as far as I can see.

Håkon
having learned from last year that the reduced and the expanded game weeks are very important.

Less than 3 weeks to go!

Really hoping Tevez completes his move to Man U and keeping an eye out on all of the summer transfers.
