Code to join this league: 504239-80204

This is definitely the code it gave me cause i copied n pasted it over..

[D4yw4lk3r]

Yep sorry my mistake! the code has been put right now.. :)

[Webb]

Sounds good. I remember bombgod posting one BUT it was a long time before the season started. Seeing as it's less than 2 weeks away, i'll do it later :D

[bombgod]

Yeah, ive signed up and got my team training...:uzi: :eek:

[Webb]

Team training :S What happened to just choosing a team? lol

[Krazie]

I would, but i know nothing about European Football.. However, I'm an extraordinare when it comes to American Fantasy Football..

[Webb]

Get involved Krazie, only a bit of fun :D And just think, after the competition, you'll know more about football than the whole of America put together :D lol

I think erton knows his football, so I'll badger him to sign up too ;)

[snafegeeza]

Erton knows nothing about football because he had heard of sheff weds but not sheff utd. WTF

i will also sign up.

[Webb]

Sheffield who? :nana

[snafegeeza]

yam yam :p

[TheBatfink]

Signed up :) Great idea! and its free haha :)

Shame more people don't want to play, don't suppose theres any chance of a news snippet on the main page, a sticky somewhere or something along those lines to highlight it a little?? :woop:

Good clean, free fun :)

[Minty]

Watch out for the Argyle ;)

[skuff]

was already signed up in another league, so im on board matey :drunk
been doing this for the last 3 seasons now, never do that good though for some reason, even my mrs usually beats me :(

[TheBatfink]

Quality, hope plenty more join in, doesnt take long to knock a team up, and it can be done with little knowledge of the league. Obviously the fine tuning comes down to outsider prowess and general knowledge of which teams are likely to play in the big tournaments, but when its free, its all fun :)

While were talking football, Forest.. Played 3, Won 3 :)

[bombgod]

Come on guys, five have signed up so far, Lets get some more members signing up.

[Minty]

Webby will be signing up in the week.... ill kick his ass if he doesnt!!

There may well be a prize and an award for the winner as well ;)

[bombgod]

There may well be a prize and an award for the winner as well ;)
I think a few more members will be signing up to it now.

[D4yw4lk3r]

There may well be a prize and an award for the winner as well ;)

Excellent idea! Nice to see people signing up.. Let's play :woop:

[Tron]

I want Paul Ince with my first pick...

snafe is gullible.

My cousin plays for Sheffield Thursday

[DaKing240]

Would anyone be interested in a Draft kind of football league hosted on yahoo?

[Webb]

Signed up, never read the rules though so messed up my team a little :p

Whats the deal with subs! lol

[skuff]

the subs come on in the order in which you placed them mate, if a player youve selected in the starting 11 doesnt play it will make the sub for you


so if your bench looks something like this

gk,str,mid,def

your striker sub will be picked, if he isnt involved it will pick your midfielder etc

[Webb]

Oh, so having Bellamy on the bench might not be a bad thing then ;) :D

[skuff]

id pick him from the off mate!.. i couldnt get him though due to my 3 other reds ive already picked... carra, stevie g and finnan :woop:

[Webb]

I messed up, and never realised they were subs :p

Suppose i'll have to swap Berbatov for him then :p

[Tron]

i have peter schmiechel on my bench.

[skuff]

i have peter schmiechel on my bench.

and paul ince? lol... back to the future :confused:


:p

[D4yw4lk3r]

All you have to do is take a look at the wkends fixtures & swap your subs accordingly, (eg) Liverpool v Sheff U this wkend, If it were me i'd make sure i got 3 liverpool players in my team \o/ Bellamy ;-)

[Webb]

I see now! Damnnit, I was too late as well, would have had Kuyt ;) :D

Damn erton's top :eek:

[Tron]

had a big week...does anybody know when Cech is going to be healthy again?

[Webb]

I'm the opposite, I had an awful week! I'm pretty sure Cech is out for some time, it's a pretty serious skull injury by all counts.

[Tron]

Fakkk....any advice on who i should swap Cech with...right now i have kenny between the pipes and im not overly confident with that.

[Webb]

Cheap but good choice would be Carson at Charlton, he's on the books at Liverpool so he might be under their team title.

Can't go wrong with Van Der Sarr or Reina if you want someone of equivalent value.

Jaaskeleinen at Bolton is also a decent shout as they are usually pretty solid at the back.

[robpears]

Just found this and joined and went straight to the top lol

[robpears]

still top of the league!!!

[Tron]

no one likes you robpears!!!! lol...
you arent too far ahead for some of us... i love the parity... i move up or down ever week...

[robpears]

arghhh that sucks got 3 injuries this week!

[robpears]

Is anyone actually bothering to play this anymore?

[Tron]

im in third, and amuuurican... i had a chance at winning till you popped in midseason for the lead...cant catch you but i can finish second.

[robpears]

And he grabs the win!!!!

[Tron]

i won first for the americans... i think we are all the real winners here.

[skuff]

so the new season is starting very soon, are we running the xbox360a league again?

[Shadow76]

Hiya ok if i join up ? i already manage a league on there and have done for the last 3 years

[Shadow76]

Sorry Should have said if new league is set up :confused:

[Turbo VDuB 44]

Whats this league all about? I definitely am all about it.

And who do you think will win the community shield? CHELSEA FC BABY!!!!!!! Shevchenko will finally produce this season. He scored the only goal in last year's shield game v Liverpool. Time for a season of scoring

[skuff]

so the new season is starting very soon, are we running the xbox360a league again?

bump :confused:.. only 3 days left, shall i start a league?

[Turbo VDuB 44]

YES definitely start a league...i have my team all set up and in a few different leagues but we should get the official league started ASAP....less than 3 days til kick-off. Start a new thread for an 07/08 league and get someone to sticky it. We can have a decent turnout for it i bet

[joehill91]

Chelsea back were we belong at the top. lol. Whats this league all about?

[Steve IOW]

Any chance i could join it? already got a team so will hopefully keep their points ;)

[adamptfc]

Cool just noticed this :) I have a team on the fantasy league I will join the x360a league in a min :D

Edit lol
