Premiership Fantasy Football League - Season 09/10

[Rocket Edge]

The new season isn't until August of course, but that doesn't mean we can't get going with our fantasy team's. It was recently set up anew for the coming season, so lets get started. I would just like to say that if you do decide to join the league, I hope you'll remain active until the end. Last season I didn't know who was active apart from a few of us, and it would be cool to have a good few of us going right up until the finish.

[The Captain]

Count me in again!

Take care all.

[Shattered Dreamer]

Count me in for sure it'll give me a reason to follow this properly all season.

Hollow FC

GK: Given, Sorensen

DEF: Hangeland, Terry, Cahill, Shawcross, Turner

MDF: Andrews, Ireland, Lampard, Cattermole, Geovanni

ST: Anelka, Owen, Davies

[Old Manus]

Well I can't do much worse than last season, even though I did play all the way through!

Generic Name FC unto the breach once more

[demondude]

Awesome. I'll join on later.

[Loony BoB]

I will join when I am at home and can access the website. No Ronaldo! Oh man, it will be hard to pick players this time around with City/United both due to change their sides somewhat dramatically.

[Shattered Dreamer]

I'm really looking forward to the fantasy football this season. Last time I only played in a league with my mates from home & ending up finishing last because I lost interest when one of my mates pulled 300 points ahead of me. But no Ronaldo this time, & refusing on principal to have him in my team was indeed my downfall.

But with the EoFF league to look forward too I'm definitely following it up all season

[Rocket Edge]

Ronaldo out this season blows fantasy football wide open indeed. Captains will be changed as regular as Dean Ashton picking up injuries this coming season.

[Loony BoB]

Until everyone remembers that Lampard/Gerrard are still just as good, anyway.

[Rocket Edge]

I suppose, but Ronaldo really was out on his own when he hit form.

[demondude]

Added. My team are Numero Uno, and they are prepared for maximum failure.

[Heath]

Rocket Edge: You do realise that Arteta might not be back for the start of the season, right? I'd certainly like him to be though!

As a tribute to both my university city and to one of my favourite team names in England, I can proudly announce I am the manager of YorkMinster Harriers.

Edit: Team:

GK: Reina (Liverpool)
GK: Sorenson (Stoke)
DF: Yobo (Everton)
DF: Evra (Man Utd)
DF: Clichy (Arsenal)
DF: Ashley Cole (Chelsea)
DF: Garrido (Man City)
MF: Kuyt (Liverpool)
MF: Ashley Young (Aston Villa)
MF: Cahill (Everton)
MF: Modric (Spurs)
MF: Barry (Man City)
FW: Crouch (Portsmouth)
FW: McFadden (Birmingham)
FW: Cresswell (Stoke)

Prolly going for a 4-5-1.

[demondude]

Arteta misses the start? crap. >_>

[Heath]

There might be new info out. I heard he might be due back but I'm unsure how reliable that information is.

PhysioRoom.com English Premier League Injury Table reckons 29th August, season kicks off on the 15th.

[Loony BoB]

Can someone confirm if, should I enter my squad now, I can constantly change it until close to season start? I don't want to register a team just now if I can't change it dramatically closer to the opening weekend without being penalised.

EDIT: Ah, I can. Neat. My squad...

GK: Reina (Liverpool)
GK: Sorenson (Stoke)
DF: Vidic (Man United)
DF: Ferdinand (Man United)
DF: Shawcross (Stoke)
DF: Tomkins (West Ham)
DF: Zayette (Hull)
MF: Arshavin (Arsenal)
MF: Cahill (Everton)
MF: Arteta (Everton)
MF: Rodwell (Everton)
MF: Malbranque (Sunderland)
FW: Torres (Liverpool)
FW: Beattie (Stoke)
FW: Ebanks-Blake (Wolves)

Likely to change it up, though.
