Just renewing the Fantasy Premier League for all those interested. It ran very close last year with first, second and third changing nearly weekly.
The code to join is 46w2mc - https://fantasy.premierleague.com/
The summer is nearly gone. You'd missed the oul football, didn't you? I know that there was the Women's World Cup, The African Nations Cup and the Copa America but I mean real football. Proper football. Not that any of the aforementioned aren't great, of course but I'm talking the football where you know 80% of the players at least.
Coutinho wondering what happened to his career as himself and Eric Lamela try to pull in a Sheffield Wetherspoons after drawing with 1-1 with the Blades.
Jack Cork toe-poking the ball out of the mud on a pissing rain Tuesday night in December at Turf Moor.
Steve Bruce looking like your uncle whose wife has just left him but who still turns up at a wedding - every weekend.
Arsenal supporters chanting that they're going to win the Premiership in November and by March looking at hotels in Azerbaijan while they hoping they'll make the Europa League.
Rafa Benitez swooping in like Batman to save some relegation threatened club.
Newcastle supporters sending up the Rafa-signal.
Fellas telling you they have always, ALWAYS! followed Man City.
Lampard getting a bollocking from Chelsea supporters while John Terry hangs around their dressing room in his manager's suit in case they win anything.
Spurs fans shitting themselves that Pochettino will leave.
Man Utd fans shitting themselves that Solskjær will stay.
Jurgen Klopp doing the electric boogaloo in the technical area after hearing there's 4 minutes of extra time.
All the things that make football great.
I'm thoroughly looking forward to it myself, I always complain every year saying the game is gone to shit and then suffer from withdrawals during the summer
Same here. Pre-seasonal affect disorder.
Liverpool kept me occupied for longer than usual this season - thank fuck they won something.
No doubt at some point around Christmas, I'll be fed up of the whole thing until late January (after the transfer window closes) and then the love will come back.

How wrong I was.
Just a heads up - unlimited free transfers until 1700hrs. The league is tight at the top. 3 teams within touching (social) distance.
Ah sound, I didn't know about that. No fear of course of any of the other cunts in my league giving me the heads up1

Never did one before. So I signed up, but how do I join this particular one?
Any forfeits?

Once you have your own team picked, you can join by clicking the link. Also, for those in it last year there should be a renew leagues option under the Leagues tab. Failing that, Stout and Ale will have a code you can type in.

A great idea that is sure to add a bit of spice to the bottom of the league. We should get brainstorming. Hopefully it isn't the russian breakfast!
Got.in. hope that isn't my team for the year? :laugh:
Right fuck it I've never played fantasy football ever before but I told a few lads I'd give it a go if a league turned up here. Suppose i'll figure it out so
What's with all the strikers listed in the midfield category?
Never did this before..obsessed at the moment. Had to do a load of transferring yesterday to get Calvert Lewin in the team. Gets a hattrick today..nice!
Kicking myself for not getting him in. He is right cheap for the return so far. Lucky enough had Richarlison and Rodriguez so got away with it to an extent. Amazing how playing the FPL enhances the whole shebang to the extent that every game is meaningful
Richarlson couldn't hit a barn door is the problem
I knew I had to get an Everton player in with their fixture list being pretty promising at the moment. Narrowed it down to Digne or Bowen. Went Digne. >:(
Bittersweet addendum - Kane would have been my man out for the Everton Inzhagi, will gladly take the goal and four assists, nice one Harry, keep ye another while ( especially with the Bale cavalry on the way)
Fuck knows what's gonna happen at The Bridge now. I have no players from either, could be absolute carnage points wise. Yikes!

True, he has it all in his locker except for finishing.
So how many have captained a Liverpool player in anticipation of Kepa performing to his usual level?
got in Bamford this evening for the suspended Richarlison. grand
I had Alisson, Van Dijk, Mane all of them out the last few weeks. Coleman aswell, got injured. An absolute mess, Rodriguez gone now too. They were flying, was doing great points wise but the injuries racking up big time.

Just a bit!
Absolutely stoked that I captained Sterling this week and not one bit bothered that Kane/Son/Salah are now going to go on the rampage. Not one tiny little bastard bit >:(
I had him at the start of the season but quickly got rid of.
I haven't a single city player on my team. You never know who is going to get the starts with them except maybe De Bruyne who is a bit pricey for me at the minute. Have Zaha in there as well. 28 points from the first 2 to play for me this weekend so far. Hope the good run continues.
Great finish to this year's league. It was up for grabs going right down to the last game day. Top four could have gone anyway at all.
Congrats to Hick and Gourd FC.
From a personal point of view - I did my usual top 6 dalliance until Christmas then second-guessed and shit-housed myself for 5 months. This year I was so bad that I finished just above people who I am convinced stopped playing after week 1. :laugh:
I will say that this year was the hardest season so far to maintain an interest in both FPL and EPL.
I did middling but paid attention until Christmas, think I looked at my team once since then but trundled along. Got roped in last week again to fix my team ahead of the last game in order to beat a lad in another small league, lost anyway, now the forfeit for losing is either going up croagh patrick barefoot or a quick waterboarding. It has yet to be decided.
Came out somewhere in the middle of this league here too, I was The Papi Collection anyway, can't even remember what points I had now. But I'll play it again next season, with more effort.
Finished strongly and nabbed 5th place having been outside the top twenty before xmas. Hamstrung badly by having Mitrovic on board for the first few months while the likes of Bamford was running riot.
This euros one looks well complicated, anyone else looking at it?
Team GOURD FC will accept all free pints from all other competitors at the next Siege of Limerick, thanks in advance :abbath:
Well done lad, what was your overall finishing position do you know, must have been well up? I saw that the overall leader lost it on the last day of the season after being in first place for around twenty weeks. The guy behind him captained Mane on the last day and nailed him.
I had my worst year ever but managed to squeeze the second last on the final day in my mini league, thus avoiding the terrible punishment.
Re-up for the new season - all previous teams should have gotten a code already but, just in case I fucked up, here's the link;

Good man!
Here we go again. Hopefully the league isn't on 7 nights a week this year. It made it hard to keep on top of it
Is there any way we could organise a cash prize this year for the mini league?
Finally remembered to do up my team last night so I'm in. I autopicked last year, bad move. This year I actually thought about how I was putting it together, which ultimately means nothing because I don't even watch football. It's good craic all the same.
I'm in.
I have no interest in playing for cash - mainy cos I'll be out of the running by GW5.
1830hrs is the cut off tonight.

The lad who won our work one the past few years never watches a bit of football. Does it all on stats, trends and data.
He's some craic to talk to in the pub...
I'm in, good luck.
Well... as predicted - I second-guessed myself as always and shithoused my team first week out of the traps.
Couple of serious scores in there for GW1.
It's the Salah/ Fernandez show at the minute but there 'll be some big decisions to be made when Lukaku ,Kane and De Bruyne get involved

The expression 'shit house' is very hard to explain to a foreigner. In fact, I'm not sure I understand it myself. I'll let Mark Crossley explain :)

Congrats to Partonos who (I think) stayed in the top 3 all season. The top 8 or 10 basically jockeyed for position over the past 5 months.
Yeah congrats to the winner. I lost all interest this year and didn't change my team since December or thereabouts. Dunno why because I stayed watching the soccer all the same. Fuck it, back next year
Yeah ,well done to Partonos, I finished second, couldn't catch him at all, when he captained Coutinho on his double gameweek haul, he pulled away into the distance. Thought Rugged Island was going to pip me for second after his De Bruyne haul a couple of weeks back , good season there too. Around 400 pts off the overall top places though ,so we've work to do next year.
Oh and get this for two genius last day transfers, Cash AND Countinho out :(
Christ these seasons are coming round faster than Boris Johnson's moving company.

Every year I chip in but I bail out and leave a ghost team to finish after christmas. Anyone have any idea how I did last year there I can't even remember my login. I think my team was PAPI II
Cheers Stout and ale
I'll be in again but I fell away badly last year
I always fall off around Christmas. Probably because of watching United, last year lost its fun for me.

As far as I can figure out - the FPL tables are deleted not long after the season ends.
Just jumped aboard
I'll sort out a team at the weekend. Join a few leagues. Play like a man possessed for 6 to 8 weeks. Then go on a bender or just forget to update my team one week and let it fall off a cliff till the end of the season.
So who's risking going without Salah this year???
FPL League for the '23/24 season - if anyone is interested.

Yup I'll be in there until I fall away after Christmas. Great to see my Twitter feed filling back up with useless draft teams instead of a load of controversial shit
Just keeping this as the latest

Cheers Stout !
Congrats to Tunnel Of Goats FC - winner of the MW Fantasy League 23/24.
Partanos were there again battling with Rugged Island, Piccalilli Shinpads and Haaland Oates - all of the top 5 broke 2400 points.
I fell away entirely after Christmas but just about broke the 2k without changing my team for 5 months ago I'll take it tbh. Congrats to the winner fair play great score
Haaland Oates finally dethroned eh. Finished eighth myself. Have to say it's a very high standard in our league, a very hard one to win! Well done Tunnel!
And away we go again...

Good Man, I'll be the lad at the bottom anyway if anyone is wondering lol. The last few years I've given up after christmas once I was cast adrift from the leading pack
Congrats to Partonos - winner of the MW Fantasy League '24/25.
A couple of real battlers in the top 5 again; Rugged Island, Devil's XI, Cookie and Piccalilli Shinpads. It was very tight for a while but Partonos eventually finished 70 points clear.
I'll re-up the league for next year as soon as it's available.
And once more I plunge myself into Saturday morning misery.
Shit! Were there Friday games? SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
