    I've talked to Kdjac lads and we've agreed on another Fantasy Football league for Boards in conjunction with www.irishgamer.ie.

    Because this league will run longer, there'll be 5 games for the winner for the platform of their choice. The games, as per last time, will be chosen from a list we have.

    As well as this, we're looking into also awarding the top manager each month. That will keep people who aren't doing well interested because, even if your team does useless one month, they could be near the top for the next month. That prize could be a game each month but we're still looking into it. This will be confirmed soon.

    For now the league code is 55593-13032. Site is fantasy.premierleague.com.

    The good news for people as well is that, even though I'm entering, this means I can't win!

    ps. Could you sticky this please Kdjac.

    You can use your old details from before. You don't need to register again. Just pick a new team.

    Trilla FC for the win


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,689 ✭✭✭shepthedog


    Anyone else finding it alot harder this year to pick a decent team compared to other years?? So many players have increased in value its almost impossible to pick a balanced squad whilst including some of the requirements, Henry, Super Frank Lamp etc..

    anyone making hots tips for this yr??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    I found it really difficult tbh, it seems like the better players are much more expensive


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,341 ✭✭✭✭Chucky the tree


    I didnt find it that difficult. Think i have a good enough team.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    My team is okish,

    got a forward line of Rooney - Doyle - Henry

    Got a midfield of
    Scholes - Ballack(although I'm not sure about him, might put in Ronaldo or Gerrard instead) - Fortune - Neville

    Defense of

    Terry - Spector - Toure

    Goalie of Given

    I had literally no subs worth mentioning :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Can you join two leagues at once?

    Given

    Yobo
    Carvalho----Heinze

    Reo-Coker
    Carrick--Rosicky----M.G.Pederson

    M.King---Berbatov---Henry


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Can enter up to 5 i think.


    kdjac


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,338 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    The maximum number of leagues you can join is 10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    It was 5 last year. Have they changed it?


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,338 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Don't know what it was last year, but this is from the help section on the website:

    Is there any limit on the number of leagues I can be in?
    Yes, each team can only be in 10 leagues.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,203 ✭✭✭Attractive Nun


    Horribly inbalanced team for me:

    Given
    Distan-- R Ferdinand--Neill--Carvalho
    Teale--Gerrard--Cahill--Benayoun
    Henry
    D Bent

    With the mighty foursome of Will O'Flood, David Sommeil, Kevin Doyle and some Randolph goalkeeper on the bench.

    Who needs fullbacks?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭Lex Luthor


    I would choose Hyypia over Carragher any day for FF. Hyypia scores more goals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Joined the Irish Gamer league...that's a lot of teams!
    I'm happy with my team, although I do have 3 Premiership newbies...can't really tell how a player is going to adapt.

    Hyypia tends to get rested more though so I'm sticking with Caradona. Duff is a steal at 8.5 million.

    Changes to game this year

    Transfer wild card
    Once a season you can use a transfer wild card. All transfers made in the Gameweek your wild card is played will be without points deduction. You can read more about transfers in the help pages.

    New assist definition
    Assists will be given for own goals. No second assists will be given. You can find the new assist definition in the help pages.

    Points scoring changes
    If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team. You can see all the scoring details in the help pages.

    Watchlist now available from transfers
    When making transfers, any players you've added to your watchlist can easily be viewed by selecting them as a filter from the drop-down box.

    More private leagues
    Each team can now be in up to 10 private leagues.

    More statistics

    We've added clean sheets, price falls and the number of times a player has been transferred in the Gameweek to the player statistics. The amount of time used to calculate form has been increased to 30 days.

    On the statistics page you can now compare multiple statistics categories on the same screen

    Ah the sticky and the forum in the league on the site is enough me thinks!
    Hsome Randolph goalkeeper on the bench.

    He plays for Charlton. he's Irish, theree was talk of him being a great basketball player once...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Pighead is staying remarkably quiet. Any challenge for me this time bacon boy? I don't want to have to thrash you yet again :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 243 ✭✭Ballboy

    Pighead is in. Super Goalkeeper, Rock Solid Defence, Midfield Oozing Creativity And Goals, Strikeforce To Send A Shiver Down Lemlins Spine.

    Don't worry Lemlin, Pigheads only gonna play at 70% of his capabilities. If i played at 100% I'd probably be banned from playing next year to give everybody a chance of glory. The aim is to win by 50 to hundred points.

    The Challenge has yet to be thought of, but it shall be forthcoming before the start of the season.

    Good luck everybody, you're most certainly gonna need it.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 10,501 Mod ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    I'll give it a go. Extra Value United.

    How many points were required to win the last one?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,267 ✭✭✭p.pete


    think it went over the 2,000 mark


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Agh, two casualties before the season even starts :mad:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,251 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    I've just finished with my team. Hoping for another victory. Harder to pick this year because my scret weapon last season, MGP, has gone up 2 million in price but I'm still quietly confident.
