Greetings to you, Free People of The Fall Online Forum.

Well done to everyone who took part in the Fall Forum Fantasy Premier League last year, because it was great.

Please join this league for the new season, because it's fun and because I promise (and this time I mean it more than last time) to keep the thread bounced or bumped or whatever so that you remember to make alterations &c.

I think I have successfully managed to set up a brandy-fuelled league for the forthcoming Premiershippy season. All you need to do is go to here and set up a team. You get money to spend, and you then spend it on players. You can keep some in reserve, if you wish, but it is only virtual, so you can't cash it in to spend on huge quantities of brandy.

I am told by the system that the code to join the league is:

567093-113395

Cheers.

Steve Hamilton has set up a mini-league for the Know the Score game, where you predict the scores of each game. The entry code for that is FAF79-WRQ.

Current league members for the LEAGUE OF BALD-HEADED MEN I Know the Score League:

Steve Hamilton
nephesh (ie Hipper Still)
snoweyuk

I've entered my team - same name as last season; 'Ball Control Poseurs'

Thanks for setting it up :thumbsup:

For new competitors, the league can be found here: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

Thank you for entering.

I'll be entering my team (The Reformation) once I get a bloody final XI sorted.

Your team is about to be added to the initial post in anticipation.

Cheers,
Sebastian.

Excellent. I'm in. Be warned, I won the Julian Cope forum league last year and was second in the British Sea Power one. So I'm bringing a wealth of top-flight managerial experience.

Thx Hipper for doing the honours.

I will be joining shortly under the guise of "The Side Steppers".

Im in.
Mid Table Mediocrity.
Same team as my work XI with £20 side bet, so I should be more focused than last season.

Formally entered now

:)

The list has been updated.

It's going to be a thrilling season, I think.

I',m on there too :D you need someone to be bottom of the league :thumbsup:

your all going down bitches ha ha ha.

What a pleasant way to waste a Sunday afternoon... spend £100M squid. :thumbsup:

Good luck to everyone who has joined so far, and especially to me.

We're up to ten teams, which is the minimum needed to make a decent league, I think.

hell yeah it is

I'm in as well......Fiends with Violins is the team name.

My boys are looking sharp in pre season training.

Mine are in the pub, eating kebabs and falling out of nightclubs at four in the morning with page three "stunners" :rolleyes:

"Johnsonvilla" are all signed up.

I have played the I Know The Score league before but not this one.

Any tips for a first timer...

Nah, the rules are fairly straight forward and explained on the website...

Not sure if last season's result gives me the right to hand out any advice - but goals obviously mean a lot of points. Having goalscoring *midfielders* in the team as well as strikers who can put it away - and choosing defenders (not necessarily the best ones) from teams that lets in few goals. So, sometimes it can be wise to play with a very attacking formation, as attacking players often get more points than defenders.

And choose your captain wisely, as his points are always doubled.

Transfer rules are fairly easy. Befor the first week you can change as many as you like, but after that it's one per week. You can transfer more, but you'll get points deducted for it. You have one tranfer wildcard during the season though, if you're facing relegation and need a cleanup... :D

Just joined up as Not Galatasaray, with the expertise of rainmaster Jnr who knows a thing or two about the game (unlike me! :lol: ).

I predict a lowly league position if not first season relegation! :rolleyes:

I'm back in for another season. I finished a respectable 5th last time, so I'm hoping to improve.

i would like to mention my team name is now smiths fallchase fc now with the spaces does everyone like my team name?

Novoltibirsk

Expect Reformation Post TLC like performance :D

The list in the first post has been updated. Welcome to everyone.

There's no need for people to familiarise themselves with all of the rules, but the transfer section is worth posting here I think:

After selecting your squad you can still deal in the transfer market. Unlimited squad transfers can be made, 1 transfer can be made between each gameweek deadline without charge. Each additional transfer made in the same gameweek will deduct 4 points from your total at the next deadline. Unused free transfers are not carried over to the next Gameweek.

All transfers before the start of the season are made at no cost. For teams entering after the start of the season, no points will be deducted before their first deadline.

You can play 1 transfer wild card a season. All transfers made in the Gameweek your wild card is played will be without points deduction. You play your wild card when confirming transfers.

what do you mean by transfer?

Picking the team is not as easy as I thought it would be.

I refuse to pick any player from Spurs or Liverpool...I just could not bring myself to cheer for anyone playing for them.

Anyone else have any personal rules that effect their choices?

A reminder, as there isn't long until the start of the season.

I'm in. Unoriginal name - totally original kit.

when does the season officially start

Next Saturday (the 16th).

Just the one. Don't pick Craig Bellamy.

i have thrown my side in.

athletico pickle.

windass is going to bag a shedload.

US Vindaloo are back...after a number 2 finish last year - not bad for an American.

ok good my roster is good and ready

Do any of you do I Know The Score aswell? I quite enjoy that.

I'm in at last.

My team is fairly awful. I'm going to be tweaking it until the last minute.

If my team were to make an album it would be AYAMW.

Everything is up to date, I think. Eighteen teams - it would be nice to reach twenty if we can.

I've never heard of I Know the Score.

I Know The Score is on the same page as the Fantasy Premier League...you just have to pick the scores of each game and you score points accordingly...

epileptic ferret F.C have joined

i think that makes 19

I've set up a league for this on the FPL site, if anyone's interested. It's the League Of Bald-Headed Men and the code you need to enter is FAF79-WRQ.

I've set a start date of Game Week 2 rather than tomorrow, so there's not such a hurry to enter.

Good luck everybody. :)
