Its sorted now. I have just begun to select my squad.

I'm reliably informed that the Maccy D's one is a bit shit this year (100m for 23 players?!). Are people that bothered about playing the McDonald's fantasy football or would people prefer to do the Sun/Mirror ones? For those who don't check Apterous: Robin McKay's already set up a league on the Mirror website so it may be easier to use that.

The mirror one is already set up so we may as well just do that.

Is this open to everyone?

Yeah, Here's the code 1387410-13839.

Joined. Cheers Mark

Any further luck? I have my team picked.

Never tried again. I'll stick with the mirror one.

Just done mine. I don't get the Brazil-Mexico game being in the first round of fixtures, but it certainly makes the tactics of the transition between weeks 1 and 2 more interesting as everyone rushes to drop all their Brazilian players.

Its because the Brazil vs. Mexico game is played before the first lot of Group H matches have been completed.

My provisional team:

Julio Cesar

Jagielka, Vertonghen, Zabaleta

Hazard, Oscar, Di Maria, Pirlo, Shaqiri

Messi, Neymar

Subs: Akinfeev, Gyan, Torosidis, Ignashevich

Jagielka? Have you ever watched football before?! Lol.

He's the cheapest of the England defenders and a guaranteed starter. I reckon England will get two clean sheets in the group stages too.

True. Italy-England has 0-0 written all over it, and England-Costa Rica could easily be a boring 1-0 or something. Probably a goal from a corner knowing England, so fair enough!

I have now joined. Was going to captain Vargas but Neymar seems a no brainer with 2 games to go at.

I've set up a Sun league for anyone doing that just for fun. I will be putting my 30 teams in this.

Pin: 8081223
Password: football

My team:

Buffon

Chiellini, Sagna, Zabaleta

Paulinho, Herrera (Mexico), Rodriguez (Colombia), Muller

Cavani (c), Hulk, Aguero

Subs: Muslera (Uruguay), Alderweireld (Bbelgium), Mertesacker, Guardado (Mexico)

Hopefully having a couple of Italy's backline will curse them into conceding loads of goals.

My team:

Courtois

Verthongen, Silva, Jagielka

Oscar, Hazard, Di Maria, Zhirkov

Neymar (c), Messi, Martinez

Subs: Akinfeev, Lichtsteiner, Busquets, Boateng

I'm top, albeit only by way of my two Chilean players already having been awarded their points for tonight's game.

The chase is on


Edit: Aaaaaand now they've been rescinded.

League table seems to be constantly broken. Anyone (Mark H?) on more than 37 pts?

Andy Platt wrote:League table seems to be constantly broken. Anyone (Mark H?) on more than 37 pts?

I have 40 points.

Why did I put Lichtsteiner in my team? I'd have been better off leaving in the Mexican who wasn't even playing this round.

Maybe they'll update it but I should be first. Says I lost by three points but Khedira didn't play and should have been automatically substituted with Vlaar who scored six.

Well done Mark. I thought Jen had it sewn up after the group stages. Some really good scores at the top giving good competition.

Lol, super bad time to forget to do my transfers. The third-placed playoff has fucked up virtually all my fantasy world cup involvements because I didn't think it counted/forgot about it.

Well done Mark anyway.

New season is up guys! Do we have to start a new league or should it carry over?

Has anyone got a fantasy football league set up?

Couple of leagues to join there.

Thanks Dave, game is "currently updating" so can't join but already have a team on that one so hopefully will let me join later

I have a league in The Sun if anyone wants to join.

Me too. Pin is: 8234734.

Joined yours Chris.

16065-5803 is the new 2014/15 code for us if anyone wants in.

This situation I'm sure must have come up for someone before; when I chose my team, I went for three Chelsea players: Ivanovic, Cahill and Fabregas. But I also had Loic Remy (selected when he was at QPR) so now he's been transferred to Chelsea I've got four. The "Transfers" page is giving me a warning that I've got too many players from Chelsea, but the "Pick Team" page gives no warning at all and all four are in the starting eleven. Anyone know what happens if I try to play all four at the same time?

You're fine to play all four, but the next time you want to make a transfer you'll have to get rid of at least one of them before you'll be allowed to confirm anything.

Cheers Michael! Knew someone would know.

Brag - £5.2m loss on transfer, huge gain on points! Not often I actually get anything right in this game









Boom!

Huge congratulations to Ed for winning this year's c4c league by a whopping 193 points (yes, ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY THREE POINTS) to finish 1,727th in the overall standings out of over 3.5 million players (top 0.05%)!

Ed retained his lead majestically from Gameweek 8 right through to the end of the season, and had the most valuable team by far, holding that accolade from Gameweek 6 onwards (see graphs for league ID 5803 here).

My brag in the previous post ended up being the highest gameweek score of the season, so I'll take that!

Redone for the year by yours truly.

72544-20412 - Classic
72544-20422 - Head to Head

Speroni, Butland
Jagielka, Clyne, Mertesacker, Cedric, Alderweireld
Fabregas, Cazorla, Hazard, Yaya Toure, Coutinho
Lukaku, Defoe, Deeney

Two reliable goalkeepers, great midfield and good defence but attack looks a bit weak. Will probably change it about 1000 times before the season starts and then lose interest quite early on in the season as usual.

Lets be having ye then!

Catapulted into second place thanks to picking Harry Kane as my triple captain this week

Could have saved it for one of those "double gameweeks" that crop up towards the end of the season, but it worked out pretty well! Think I might use the bench boost if I can get 15 players all playing twice.

Big moment for me!

Most of you will know the drill, if you don't, feel free to ask questions.

We use http://fantasy.premierleague.com

Classic code = 7029-2981
Head to head Code = 7029-3097

Give us a week off at least!

Relaunched today. Assuming the league will be renewed

I'll put it through this evening.

Who won last season?

Could someone put up the code for the league as I've created a new account on the fantasy football site.

Many thanks!

I'm hoping these are right, the H2H one definitely is, but let me know if the classic one works properly.

235404-58403 - Classic
235404-58466 - H2H

Those codes have worked fine! Many thanks!

Team Pound Shop Defence is ready to go:

Foster, Fabianski
Cedric, Tomkins, Lascelles, G Johnson, Simpson
Alli, Pogba, Willian, Cabaye, J Allen
Kane, Lukaku, Benteke

2018/19 season is go.

550603-118093 - Classic
550603-118118 - H2H

Is anything happening with this this year?

Robin did set one up, but I didn't see much advertisement, so I've autorenewed last year's too, which everyone who's playing has been auto-added to.
