Phantasy League Fiasco

From: PM

Even now, still no luck.

I'm thinking, I'm going to have to open up a new League for us all to join, that starts in Gameweek 2. That way everybody will still have until next Saturday to get a team in.

Once I can actually get back in, I'll check how many actually managed to get a team in, and what the state is. Probably looks like Gameweek 2 start to our Wanderers League, at this stage...

1. Tough thingies. No goal, no retakes, nothing. When my wife calls me for tea she doesn't need a PA anyway, but I don't get to rewind something I've missed as a result on Sky Sports News.

The only that is clear is that there the Wanderers need to convocate on Sat nights more often...

But, yes, what a great theme team: British

I've given up trying to register a team. The site's been almost completely non-responsive since Fri night. Hopeless.

Can't log on to redo my team to fit the new rules either. At this rate, my current team won't be fitting the 2 players from the 3 promoted teams rule... Still trying...

Well done on getting in early VHR. The site appears to have melted down. Looks like a one week head start for you!

Bring up the rear guard,
Comrade.

Ok Pretenders,

I've broken the "Rules" already (wouldn't be any fun otherwise would it?) and actually added THREE(!) teams this year as follows:

"Vanhankelrators" - my usual load-of-crap do-nothing come 2nd or 3rd'ish bunch-of-losers (i.e. my normal team)
"Uruguayan Dogs of War" - i.e. basically whatever scum and villiany I could find from this years EPL that still met the "rules" (I was actually a bit disappointed at the lower-than-expected level of scum and villiany actually available - let me know if you have any further suggestions)
"Random Noise" - i.e. to sort out the pretenders from the "noise". Have basically selected this team's players randomly (using www.random.org) but within some general selection guidelines so the team wasn't complete crap, the kip added up, and it still met the "rules" (can provide selection details in unlikely event that anyone's interested - more likely of course if people start losing to them). As it turns out the random number generator did a very good job so be prepared to perform below the noise.

Yours in spending way to much time on "fantasy" football,

VHR.

Camikaze was left off this list, presumably for fear THIS year might finally be HIS year to lift the SCWFPLT. But I fear thee not, Mr Kaze, so join the league if you dare (and be thankful you missed the 1397 previous emails debating the architecture of this year's league).

To summarise:
Here is the webpage: http://fantasy.premierleague.com
SCW extra rules: Max player cost is 9.9 kip, and you must choose among your 15 man squad 2 players from the promoted teams (Norwich, QPR, Swansea).

Sebved, now it's all been decided and laid out plain and simple, you should sign up too. Even if you never make a change to your team...

Yours in metamorphosis,
DJA
