EWB Fantasy Premier League

[Lord Nibbler]

Would anyone be interested in a fantasy premier league game on here next season?

I'm talking about something like this (but for proper football rather than American football), where each manager has a set transfer budget and bids for players at the beginning of the season. You start of with a few rounds of private bids, then some public bidding until everyone has a full squad of 23 players. Then it's run like a regular football league, everyone plays each other twice with a transfer window half way through.

I run a game on another forum, and it's worked out pretty well. We'd need about 12 or 14 managers (plus myself and my brother, who'd help run it), and they'd need to be people that are online regularly enough to post a team lineup each week and deal with transfer deals in the January window.

Obviously it wouldn't start until September/October, but I thought I might as well ask now to see if there's any interest.

[Baddar]

Yup.

[HailtotheYo]

It'd be fun me-thinks

[Scott McFly]

Yeah I'd be up for that.

[alldaws1]

Fourth'd.

[therockbox]

yep

[Dynamite]

I'd like to be part of this.

[Jam]

I'd join it

[Adam]

I would definitely join this, would be fun, plus it's different from your conventional Fantasy Football Leagues that everyone's in.

[Captain Kirk]

I'd well be up for it.

[King Ellis]

Sounds good, i'd be up for it.

[Lord Nibbler]

Well that's ten people on here, plus a couple of others I know who'd join, so it's looking good.

It would work a lot more smoothly if we could convince a mod/admin to make a subforum for it, either here or in The Cube maybe.

[King Ellis]

We can always make a free forum if need be.

[Matt]

I'd do it.

[METALMAN]

Oh yeah they're usually fun. I remember I took part in the Euro 2008 one here. I believe I did fairly terribly.

But yes, good idea. Pity it's so far away.

Yeah, but it gives people plenty of time to come up with team names, club logos and kit designs like the nerdly nerds they are.

[-A-]

I'm interested as well if there's still room.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

count me in. great idea!

[Lord Nibbler]

That's 14 in this thread, plus two others that'll be in it, which is enough. Once we get nearer the end of the season I can make sure everyone's still interested, and bring in replacements if need be.

Don't we already have a league every year?
