Does anyone want to take part in a forum fantasy football leauge? With just a week to go until the start of a new season it might all look exciting, but a few months in and a bit of pretend managerial action will help to maintain interest once we know that the usual teams will win everything again.

You need to go to the Premiership Fantasy Football page (http://fantasy.premierleague.com/), make a team up (it's fairly easy), then click to join a private league and enter the code 647602-118633 in the box. That should get you entry to the Sonic League, which I've just set up.

Simple.

Go on. It might be fun. :)

I might... although I doubt that I can keep up with it on a weekly basis for a whole season. I haven't really followed the Premier League for the last 1-2 seasons either.

I was thinking about doing a SY board Champions League fantasy like they have on the UEFA website some time ago (when Rob Instigator started one about American Football), but I wasn't sure if that would take off.

When does the PL start?

The Premier League starts on Saturday.

There was a world cup one here, which went well.

This one is very easy to maintain - you only have fifteen players, and you can only change your team once per week or so anyway (there is a deadline each week), so even if some weeks are missed it's unlikely to be too costly over the course of a season.

This sounds great Hip Priest! I've already made my team and joined the league.

Done! I'm in. I hated choosing my team though.

Okey-dokey, I'm there. Team = Winners Blues

That's a nice start. Since there are only 15 players per team, and you can only change once per week, it shouldn't take too much maintenance.

Eccclesiasticus:

Mine's Kelly Greens

This is awesome, I'm Napalm Death!

Sonic All-Stars.

ha! laughable, hip priest! . . . i'm gonna join up just to prove the wankness of your team! . . . rivalry is what this needs. strong offensive rivalry!

Last year's sonic league world cup was fun !
I'll manage the Gerbils FC from across the channel...

So when do the games start..?

THe Premiership begins this weekend, Danny.

Good luck.

Wankness? How can a team with THREE MAnchester City players possibly do badly? Mind you, Manchester City often field eleven Manchester City players, and don't manage very well.

Wankness indeed.

Oh. I have absolutely no idea how this whole thing works.

The eleven players you select for each week score points for how they do on the pitch in real life. You can do substitutions and transfers, but there's a deadline each matchweek for selecting your eleven.

Ahh I get it. Lucky for me I picked the best Liverpool players I could afford. And Shevchenko. Oh, and Danny Murphy because we have the same first name.

Sorry to tell you this, Danny, but the best Liverpool players you can afford will still be Liverpool players, and therefore RUBBISH!
