I know there are some fantasy leagues on the go here for some other sports, and I think there may be some soccer fans around here as well.
So if anyone plays the Premier League fantasy football game (or wants to) and would like to join a league let me know below. If there are takers I'll create a private FOT league and post the league code below.
Hope there are some takers, but no rush it's still a few weeks til the season starts up again.
-
I'm doing a team this year, so count me in.
-
I am in.

The code to join the FOT Championship is: 455449-138283
-
I assume Clint Dempsey is the consensus #1. Here's hoping I get him.
-
Clint has been a solid pick in the last couple of years.
In this game, there is no draft, so if you want him, you can have him. Instead all the players have a price and the total squad price must be under £100 million.
-
I'm not super knowledgeable about English football, but I do play Football Manager way too much, so... um, I'm in? (Early prediction: Rooney gets a weird disorder from his hair plugs, dies midway through the next season. Also scores 15 goals post-life.)
-
The way the league currently stands I'd be disappointed if I didn't at least finish in the runner up spot.
-
I'm in. FEAR MEET THE SOCCERS!!!
-
As usual, I am trying to do this, and can't find where or when to enter the league code.
-
OK, I am out already. Don't understand the game well enough to even be able to read previous season stats. Carry on, cheery-o, all that stuff.
-
Wes will win again. Just like he did at the World Cup. And I will be annoyed.

I won't have any part of this. I proved my point by soundly beating all of you and leaving as champion, taking my talents elsewhere. Anyone who wins this sham of a tournament will be a paper champion, at best.
-
I'm registered. I have to say though that I find the limits on spending to be grossly un-American and an insult to our country's heritage of buying teams in England with overleveraged debt.

That made me laugh a lot.
Thanks to all for joining. Still a couple weeks to go.

I got home this weekend to find one of my players injured and four other doubtful. W.T.FUCK!?!

Ah, you gaffer!*

Here is some help from Scotsman John Spencer, head coach of the Portland Timbers:

Make that TWO injured and four doubtful. This is fun!
-
I'm sure I'll live to regret this, but I'm in.

Yay!

For the record, I also have four doubtful though luckily none injured.
Is there any way to see other people's team selections now or do we have to wait until the season starts?
-
Just joined the board a little bit ago and haven't really introduced myself yet. I love fontasy EPL though, and hope it's not bad form to join up without at least saying hello first. So hello, I'm ted_! Ted works great too. I am yet-another FOT MLIS student, living in San Francisco but originally from Austin, TX.

I think the game keeps everyone's respective roster secret until that first game day.
-
Here's my roster so far, Footy Boy Roy.
I don't usually watch EPL but I do watch some of country v country matches in the WC and Euro. I have only seen about 1/2 these guys ever play. So I'm very confident.
Howard Goalkeeper
Distin Defender
Savic Defender
Hughes Defender
Huth Defender
Dempsey Midfielder
Silva Midfielder
Maxi Rodriguez Midfielder
Bale Midfielder
Jones Forward
Ba Forward
Hennessey Goalkeeper
Brunt Midfielder
Hernandez Forward
Djourou Defender

I strongly recommend the Guardian's football podcast, Football Weekly, which just returned after a summer away.

Those of you less familiar with players and teams may learn a thing or do. And you'll get a laugh from Barry Glendenning.

There's also this:

I just revamped my entire team. I had three injured and three doubtful and I'm pretty sure the coach was kidnapped, the stadium was on fire and all my players boots had the spikes on the INSIDE of their shoes. Weird.

Well, I started at least two people from the suspended Tottenham-Everton match. Just doing my part to show those hooligans that we will carry on.
