POTN Fantasy Football (Soccer) Leauge - IT'S FREE

[dewmuw]

OK so I'm over excited about Liverpool beating Chelski yesterday and the advent of the new football season - I admit it!

So I've set up a POTN Fantasy Football league that anyone can join. It is based on the English Premier League and works like all those other fantasy games.

THIS IS COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE - no registration fee or anything like that and I thought it might be a bit of fun.

If you want to register a team CLICK HERE (http://fantasy.premierleague.com)



Once you have logged in and entered your team, click on the 'Leagues' link you can find on the the right of the page. Now enter the code 105185-86040 to join the POTN Fantasy Football league.

At the end of the season the overall winner will have the honour of being the POTN Fantasy Football Manager of the Year and I am sure we can think of some sort of prize.

Have a go!

[Col_M]

Done :D

[dewmuw]

So me versus you! :D

[Col_M]

so far, definately the more the merrier though :)

[sGu]

I'm in :D

[dewmuw]

I predict a top three finish of me, col and sGu! But I'm not predicting the order!:D

[sGu]

I am so excited! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[lakiluno]

do I get a prize for losing?

[dewmuw]

do I get a prize for losing?

Wahaaay that's the spirit! :)

[dewmuw]

Four teams already registered! Could be a tough battle for Champions League qualification!

[neil_r]

The dye is cast, let battle commence

[Buggbairn]

I'm in :D

Although my team has as much balance as I do after a night on the Stella :lol:

[danja]

Done :D

[sGu]

The league is growing and growing! :D

[dewmuw]

I feel like Kerry Packer! :D

[dewmuw]

7 teams now in the league! This could be the MLS! :)

[Boutty]

I have got the Lucky 8 team! ;);)

[lakiluno]

are you including me - because I don't have a team - I'm only registering if I get a prize for losing - I suck at anything to do with football

[gmen]

Bring it on... ;) I'm aiming for relegation in my first season... anything else will be a bonus... :lol:

...and I was most disappointed that I couldn't pick any Leyton Orient players! ;)

Gavin, your team's kit is vaguely similar to Argyle's in the mid 80's with the green & black stripes and black shorts, a closet Argyle fan maybe? :p:lol:

[superdiver]

I have never played fantasy soccer...do I have to keep to the $100 it gives? I cant find where to sign in for this league either...

[superdiver]

OK...got it...

If I am not doing something right during the season please let me know...

[gmen]

Gavin, your team's kit is vaguely similar to Argyle's in the mid 80's with the green & black stripes and black shorts, a closet Argyle fan maybe? :p:lol::lol: 'fraid not... in fact, it's my (probably wrong) recollection of (the now defunct) Beckton United's kit in the early 80's :lol: sad... but true...

My only visit to Plymouth (for a football match) was way back in 83/84 when I was a Barking supporter... Barking were a couple of minutes away from taking Argyle back to Mayesbrook Park for a replay when Tommy Tynan (I'm pretty sure it was Tynan) converted a corner for a 2-1 win... of course, it turned out to be Plymouth's most successful season in the competition!

[dewmuw]

Wow the ball is rolling now! Unfortunately a russian billionaire has bought my team and ruined the game for everyone! ;)

[dewmuw]

10 teams in the league now! Can we make it to unlucky 13?

[lakiluno]

As someone born (Along with my twin sister) on Friday the 13th of July, I'm going to take you up on that unlucky part - when has anyone actually had bad luck on a Friday the 13th?

I was born on Friday 13th June - as well as my twin brother! So 13 is lucky for me!!

[Ikinaa]

I'm in... (the Blue with the Red Stripes ;-) )

What now?

[superdiver]

Yeah, now what happens?

[dewmuw]

Now we wait! ;)

The Premier League season starts on the weekend. So the players you selected will start gaining (or losing) poitns for you from then. On Monday the site is updated and we will see who has scored the most points.

Repeat this process for every game of the season! :)

it's rather passive, isn't it? ;-)

Well you can transfer players in and out during the season if you team isn't doing to well.

I guess it is passive - but just a bit of fun.

[Boutty]

How come I couldn't see the players of the other teams? :evil:

[Boutty]

Well, I felt better now to see I am not the only non-English team! :lol:

[alonso14]

Hi all, I'm gonna join as well.
The more the merrier!

[dewmuw]

You can only see the other team's players whent he season starts. Otherwise you could just 'copy' other teams. So from this weekend you will be able to see what dogs other players have signed to their team! :)

Like that ah! Fair enough...

Well, how is my mid-field lines up? (don't mind to reveal) Reid, Park, Campo & Arteta.

Time will tell! :) Looks like there is potential to score some points there - but remember that they can lose points too! Reid, Park and Arteta are likely to do well scoring points with assists.

Just off the topic, you should have brought your G3 to the British Open! Would have capture some celebrities there for the G series challenge?!? ;)

Good on you mate! You are too right! ;)

We'd just need one more lucky for some '13th' team! :p

Give it to me!

Then I would have gathered G1, 3 & 6 ???

Should have gone for a G1, G3, G5 - then they would be primes! :D

I am thinking of converting my G1 to IR camera too! There's a guy in Melbourne does it. But it will cost me AUD$300 bucks! The G1 costed me AUD$150 with all the goodies it came with (from ebay)!

For a slap of beer, an engineer at my work would probably do it for me (following Don Ellis's instructions). Or else my G1 is sitting there collecting dust. There's hardly a calm day for me to use it with the R72 filter. This should be better. ;) Good that you mentioned! :p

League now up to 12 people.

How come this thread has been moved to member activities when another thread about fantasy football (NFL) hasn't?

[alonso14]

Not fair!

Anyway, what about prizes for the winner(s)...
any ideas?

[superdiver]

So when I signed up my ream, there was a dollar value attached to the players. I picked the names I recognized and went into the negative numbers. I REdid my team so that the value would be 0.0 (I let the computer pick the team, too much math between patients).

What happens if you go past the dollar amount you are given?

You will only be allowed to 'buy' a team of players up to the value of 100 (million pounds). If your spending money exceeds 100m, then you will not be able to buy the last player(s) who's prices caused you to go over your 100m max.
Hope this helps...

[superdiver]

Got it....

[Col_M]

2 days :D:D:D

Superdiver, good effort for having a go even though it's all new to you ;)

[Ikinaa]

yep... new for me too...

at work we play ;-) guessing the results of the german Bundesliga (www.kicktipp.de (http://www.kicktipp.de)). As I don't know much about soccer, I use some homegrown statistical method, and sometimes I'm better than those who follow the games :lol:

[mike64]

I'm in

[viodea]

I just signed up and can't wait for the season start.
I wonder how the scoring work? I tried to find any info on how player score fantasy points but coudn't find anything.

[cfcRebel]

And so did Saha and I have them BOTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Good for you! After Gameweek 1, you should be in top 3.:)

[cfcRebel]

Thanks for the info. Hopefully own goal won't affect my score.

Great game! Great game! Very nice opening for the Red Devils.
Russian mafia next. LOL!

[andyfreeman]

Still feel they need another strinker to replace Ruud. Cannot rely on Saha/Ronaldo Chipping in all season.
I think for sure they will be opening the cheque book at least once before the transfer deadline on 31st.

I think for sure they will be opening the cheque book at least once before the transfer deadline on 31st.I hope the Hargreaves deal is successful. Love to see him play for MU. I agree. They need a score machine like Ruud.

Doesn't it look nice::D

hmm cant help feeling hargreaves and carrick will not play all the time, dont forget Scholes is now back and fully fit. He gives them a very nice attacking option to have compared to carrick who is more holding midfield

[cfcRebel]

So, Chelsea vs Man. City, what's your take? Some injury problem but shouldn't be too bad.

[andyfreeman]

Chelsea to go on and win 2/3 - 0

Terry has already scored. 1-0 to chelsea

Some more points for me too :D

[cfcRebel]

Lampard scores! Who'd have thought.:lol:

Brilliant, Rooney scored 2 and assisted today, and Terry's on one goal for Chelsea :D

Wow! i'm quite surprised to be top of the leaque, not sure how long that'll last though, I'll give it a week!

Obviously he hasn't gotten over the faul on Grosso in World Cup.:lol:

[cfcRebel]

HE HE, I have him tooNeil, i think you were being robbed. Saha has 14 points so far but FPL sub'ed Crouch and Little with Sinclair and Rosenior respectively. Why didn't FPL sub Crouch with Saha since they are both forwards? That would give you the best score. Am i missing something?

[Ikinaa]

hmmm, from somewhere in the middle (Saturday) to last... :(
Well, future will be brighter, it can't get worse ;)

[cfcRebel]

How come Gameweek 2 has less teams playing? What happen to Liverpool, Newcastle, Wigan and Arsenal?

[andyfreeman]

they have european champs league games so no midweek game for them this week.

[viodea]

oh... man... I didn't know I could use 3-4-3 formation when I made my selection... I guess I need to make some adjustment to get back in the hunt :| Too bad only 1 trans per week.

[cfcRebel]

they have european champs league games so no midweek game for them this week.Ah, i see. Does that mean there will be makeup games for these teams in the future? If not, i should probably take out the players from these teams, and put the ones who are likely to play.

[andyfreeman]

no all teams in the league will play a full 38 games a season.

There fixtures will have been re-arranged for another date. later on in the season.

Strategically, in my FFL team it would be wise to temporarily take out players from Arsenal, Liverpool, Wigan and Newcastle since they won't play in Gameweek 2, right? :o

It does make sense if you have players (substitutes) that you can put in and who have games when those you named aren't playing. But don't make tranfers because you will be deducted poitns. Transfers should only be made when you reall y have to.

Hey, it's all worth it if at least 1 of your 3 transfers makes 8 points in this gameweek.;) Watch out for Cahill.

[viodea]

did you know you can use wild card to prevent point deduction? You can use it once a season, I think. I'm considering using it next week.

[viodea]

I was playing with the lineup and made more 1 transaction. Then click "Make transfer". If I remember it correctly, it said I made more than 1 trans and there are points deduction. It asked me if I want to use wildcard to avoid that. I don't remember the detail though. I guess I'll let you know in a few days after I make my changes :D

just realised a couple of us missed the cut for the 1st gameweek, so i guess we're prime candidates for the relegation battle.

btw, what happens to bottom 3? sell all your L lenses? :P

[dewmuw]

just realised there are about 5 of us who missed the cut for the 1st gameweek, so i guess its gonna be us few fighting for scraps at the bottom of the table.

Andy supports Everton (the other team in the city of Liverpool - although far far less successful and well known as Liverpool) so he is joking with you.

[cfcRebel]

Tim Cahill and Viduka both scored!!! Wooohoooo! I love points.:D

[viodea]

Hopefully someone in POTN Final Fantasy League can shed some light.

Just made a few transfers using wildcard.
After you click "make transfer", a new page will be brought up and there will be 4 buttons on the right side. Then, you can select use wildcard and then confirm the transfer.

".... All transfers made in the Gameweek your wild card is played will be without points deduction."

Does it mean, if i intend to make 5 transfers today (which is effective in Gameweek 3) and select "Play Wild Card", instead of sacrificing 16 points, i won't be deducted any point when Gameweek 3 start? Is that it?

I believe so. I just made 4 or 5 transactions but didn't notice any point deduction.

[cfcRebel]

I believe so. I just made 4 or 5 transactions but didn't notice any point deduction.The point deduction only takes effect when the next Gameweek starts. As long it did not ask you to confirm the deduction when you made the transfer, i think you are safe. Thanks for the info, and good luck with your new squad members.;)

[viodea]

I remember I read somewhere saying the point deduction is 0... I hope I didn't read it wrong. I hope my new squad will be much stronger. I can take full advantage of my formation now :D

I thought we were talking about Football. lol It's American Football, fantasy league time too.

Have fun!!

I remember I read somewhere saying the point deduction is 0... I hope I didn't read it wrong. I hope my new squad will be much stronger. I can take full advantage of my formation now :DI can use a couple more transfers since some players in my team are still hibernating.:rolleyes:
I'll see what happens in GW3 before making further change.

I wouldn't rush to make too many changes. There have only been a handful of games so far with 37 weeks left.

There have only been a handful of games so far with 37 weeks left.Due to my lack of EPL knowledge and this is my first FFL, i have accidentally chosen a bunch of injured horses, and some inexperienced players who got benched alot :p. So i need some adjustment in order to start generating points. I hope that's a good strategy.:cool:

I thought I had to use 4-4-2 formation. So, I spent more $$$ than I should on defense player. I had to do a drastic change to keep my squard within budget.

after 3 years of FFL (and i still suck!), the one thing i learn is to invest in good defenders, cos otherwise, they're gonna cost ya! and i almost always play w 3 at the back...

but hey, im at the bottom of the pile at the moment, so what do i know!

I'm not going cheap on defenders but decide to get 3 decent and 1 ok defenders and 1 fillers because I play 3 defenders. So, I'll have a little more funding for my midfilders.

Well I'll be at Anfield tomorrow watching Liverpool v West Ham - could be some points there for me! :)

you lucky man!!!! I wonder how hard it is to get a ticket to Liverpool game? How much does it cost?

[cfcRebel]

Good for you Damian! Garcia has shaken off his injury since the international match. So now it's time to make some points.:D
Actually i also have my eyes on Alonso. Who step up more, Garcia or Alonso?

[viodea]

I like Garcia better than Alonso. The price difference is only 1. I would take Garcia for sure... but what do I know :p
