Fantasy Premiership Football

[zaden]

Hi all following the fantasy world cup, a good bit of fun.
Would like to propose a dadtalk mini league for fantasy premiership football (as suggested by Goonerplum)
For those that created a fantasy team previously at www.metro.co.uk you can just login again and create, or if not just sign up to be able to create a team.

I am planning on setting up a mini league which will require £2 to join (winner takes all), with a request that the winner of the league give their winnings to their nominated Charity of choice.

Hopefully the adage of "if you make, they will come" will hold true
The payment will actually be £2.20 as the Metro site charges a 10% fee.

My chosen charity is McMillan Cancer Support - www.mcmillan.org.uk

I will post back tomorrow with details of the league

Good luck!

Cool! I've joined "Midnight Cowboys" ...and if my world cup predictions are anything to go by, I expect I'll soon be ...um ...firmly in the top ten ...or so.

I'm there as well - cool


gutted that I missed the WC one.


gonna kick some bottom with my team

[Goonerplum]

we'll see N4N we'll see

hmmm ...second from bottom ...and 46,724th place overall ...that didn't go as planned! I've never fantasized over football before. I particularly like the idea that my goalkeeper was so bad, I'd have scored more points simply by not having any goal keeper at all; boy, that must make him feel good .

OK - for a bit of fun, I have also entered an England squad, based on their first week's performances. Rooney hasn't made the first 11 and poor old Theo hasn't even made the bench ...yet!
Hart - Terry - Cole - Jagielka - Richards - Lampard - Gerrard - Milner (C) - Downing - Bent - Carroll
(Subs: Green, Gibbs, Albrighton, Rooney)
They are too late to get points this week; but I have worked out that, if they did, they would have got 727 ...hindsight is a wonderful thing, eh! Watch yer backs guys

Here are the standings so far -

1 Dadtalk-co-uk-Ron 1882
2 DadTalk Lightweights 1826
3 Norfolk Normals 1812
4 Midnight Cowboys 1798
5 Gooners Goners 1725
6 Kingstonian FC 1709
7 Give it a shot 1303

Very close near the top with a few lagging behind. Still early days of course.

Currently I am considering my being in the lead as a fluke...... However, i do feel its important to say :

you're not singing, you're not singing, you're not singing anymore..... anymore..... you're not singing anymore
