    Just a note in case people weren't certain, we'll be using this site for the league.

    Plenty of time for more signups but the beauty is, we don't need a requisite amount to play, however many want to join is what we'll have.

    I'll be using the Classic League format (most points accumulated wins), as opposed to the Head to Head League option, for this season anyways.

    Unless people want to do both, it's not hard to arrange :)

    What was your final score for 17/18 Necro :D. I need to temper my expecations appropriately!

    Lol, how do I check that? It wasn't great, mid table for most of the leagues apart from a private league with my mates where I was second.

    Tbh I forgot about it for about 5 months so... not too bad really :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,184 ✭✭✭kitten_k


    I've never done this so what would we need to do?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    If you go into your team and click 'gameweek history' on the right hand side, it shows you all your annual totals.

    When games get going, it will fill up with how you did each week for the length of the sesason as well.

    Click on the link and sign up. It will make you pick a team. You have 100m in fake money to spend, and each player has a value set by the website organisers.

    You have to pick 13 players from that 100m. You can buy and sell players during the season too, and values go up and down, so its a bit like a trading game as well as a 'pick your best team' game.

    Right so I will give it a shot!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,637 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    I'll consult with Mr Molly later on and get signed up.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,128 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Think I sent the code out to those who thanked my initial post or expressed interest this morning...

    beaker
    Kolido
    Mick
    Rikand
    Digi
    Molly
    Pter

    And then
    Strawbs
    osh
    kitten
    From this sign up thread.

    And of course, myself.

    That's a nice league, always space for more.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,128 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Btw, when creating your accounts it's up to you folks if you want to include real names in the account creation (they will show up in the league)

    If you prefer to keep them secret, put your boards name in when they ask for it :)


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    I'll give it a go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,637 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    Right I've signed up but I'm being told (by Mr Molly) that there's no point picking a team yet until at least the world cup is over coz things might change. So I'll do it before the deadline of 10th August.

    I assume I can't join your league Necro till I choose the team?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    You can work away creating a team. Can change it as much as you want until the game starts.

    Go tell Mr molly to put that in his pipe and smoke it.

    Oh and welcome him to the jungle.

    :D:D Football is a fickle animal.

    Today's Mo Salah is tomorrow's Richarlison :pac:

    Looking forward to seeing other folks teams, once the first weekend is over.

    How many of us will press the 'Wildcard' panic button after a poor first week :pac:

    90% of my team is autofilled and ill be damned if it doesn't change. Minimum requirements are like 15-20 mins a week QB, gowangowangowan

    Oh, I'm already in and team selected. Just not the analysis that Mick and CroCro put in. I picked the names that sounded nice (and what I could afford).

    You too Mick :P


  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Im obsessive untill im not then im the opposite so you can expect a good month from me and then to totally forget r about it anyone who commits to 10-15 mins a week for the whole year has the edge :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,184 ✭✭✭kitten_k


    Don’t worry QB I am in the same boat as you, don’t even know most of the players on my team

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,637 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    Thankfully Mr Molly is off for August so he'll be deciding our team to start. I'll help out a bit too I guess. Lol.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    If I can squeeze in before the door shuts, great, send me a code please Necro.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,421 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Nearly forgot about this, not long to go guys, kicking off tomorrow. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,637 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    Do we need to have the teams picked by tonight then?

    Deadline is 7pm tomorrow evening for team creation. After that you gotta transfer them out or play a wildcard.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,128 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    12 teams. Will make for a bit of fun anyways.

    Still time to join until tomorrow we'll say at 4pm. After that I'll be drinking and probably not checking boards prior to the first game. :pac:


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,128 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Biggest conundrum for Necro in selecting his team.

    To buy Salah or not to buy? That is the 13 million quid question :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,455 ✭✭✭tritium


    I play this most years and fall apart when real life starts hammering me mid season :(

    But I play this most years :)

    So in if there’s still room and time
