----------------

Just what you've all been waiting for - the blondepoker fantasy football league - it's free to play, and the league is run on the premierleague.com website (where you need to register and manage your team).

If you haven't played on there before, you can register at:

    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.
Then enter the code:

   44012-12055

to join the blonde league.

If you're already registered on there, you can just join the blonde league, otherwise you have to register, select your team and then join the league. 

Transfers pre-season are unlimited, so you can pick any players for your team (so you can then join the blonde league) and then go and change it as many times as you want before August 11th when the season starts.  Once the season starts you are limited on the number of transfers you can make (before it starts costing you points).


Overview:

With a budget of £100 million, choose a squad of 15 players made up of:

    * 2 Goalkeepers
    * 5 Defenders
    * 5 Midfielders
    * 3 Forwards

No more than 3 players can be selected from a single team.

Scoring:

The players in your squad score points based on how they perform in Premier League matches.  More about the rules can be found on the site at: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/help.mc?category=rules


The deadline before the season starts is 11:30am August 11th.

"Huge Norks" are in!

I created one for our work league last week where we have put up £20 each and winner takes all. Only 6 entrants so far though.

One question, does anyone know if it is currently possible to view other peoples teams and who they have selected?

You can't view anyone else's team until the start of the season.  Then you can only see the team they've selected at the point of the last deadline.  So you won't see any changes they've made until the following game week deadline (if I remember correctly).

Ok Thanks.

This should be fun with plenty of banter.

The way I see it the people who do exceptionally well in fantasy teams are the ones who spot the bargain players who are going to be a suprise and get loads of points. Last year was Benny Macarthy for example.

Who are everyones secret weapons for next season?
I was thinking that Tevez will be a good buy at only 8.5mil but am now likely to drop him for someone else because I don't think he will score many points due to the players he is in competition with for places at Man Utd.
The player I am thinkng might be a good value high point scorer is Reo Coker.

There will be no manure players in my team.
