Lots of the ppl that i chat to on isketch are interested in footy and is always a decent conversation topic.

So, i thought I'd see if anyone is interested in having a go at a Fantasy Football League.....

fantasy.premierleague.com is the best website around. it's quick to update, ridiculously easy to pick your team, and best of all, it's free. it's also free and easy to set up custom leagues for any number of people, so with a couple of clicks of the mouse i can set up an Isketch league.

I'll let this run for a few days before i set up the league, so just post if yer interested :)

Oh! How much time do you have to dedicate to something like that? I'd love to join in, it could be a really fun competition for the forumites, but how much time do I actually have to spend on it once I am through with the initial setting-up etc?

Nice thinking, JonGTFC :)

This in yahoo fantasy or in some other service?
If it's yahoo you're so on. If it's not, i'm really sorry, can't be bothered to sign up for yet another fantasy sports site.

Right, it's up. Sorry to disappoint people who were requesting other websites, but honestly give this one a chance and you'll think it's awesome and be hooked on it for next year.

Log-on or Register at fantasy.premierleague.com - read the rules, choose your team, team-name etc.....

Then, when that's done...... go to LEAGUES, and in the box where it asks you to join a league, type in the code 263091-86428

:D. Okay, hope to see you all there. Good luck!!!

I was debating whether to post mine for all to see and coo over, but thought i might give away a couple of bargains. Plus it might all change anyway with future transfer deals, particularly the Tevez thing.

My eldest son has been doing this league for a few years now, my brother and other male family members have joined in in more recent years. It gets very competitive between them.


Vik's Vikings! BTW, please help me cause I have no idea what I am doing, lol!

Vik I will give my son your team name I will get him to have a look out for you.

As there a different leagues running on there, shall we start one just for the isketchforum members ? or has that already been done ?

I'm top of the league after two games.:eek: I will be releasing a dvd of this just like the bitters (Everton) are in real life, they will be releasing it in Tesco only and it will be BOGOF. :twisted: Seriously, I never planned my team much I just sort of picked it in about 30 secs. Oh well the only way from here is down.

clungeface mentioned about this to me tonight in a room on iSketch, and we both admitted we'd forgot to check the scores. :embarrassed:

What I was thinking, I could do a post in here every week giving an update on the league table so you could see how your doing points-wise, if you lot would be happy with me doing that.

Vik

I was wondering why I was suddenly getting fewer and fewer points. Turned out nearly half my squad was injured or suspended.:mad: Had to dip my fingers into the transfare market.
