Fantasy Football for A/R/T

digger2d2 · 13-08-2013 01:42PM #1

Hi All,

If anyone is interested I have set up a league exclusively for A/R/T. If you want to join go to Fantasy Premier League and use the following code - 1579367-356965.

It costs nothing, there are no prizes, but, it should be a bit of fun.... I think briantherunner set one up in the 2011/2012 season but don't think there was one last year.

Get yourself set-up quickly as the season starts this coming weekend!

I only started back playing this last year after a few years off, so I'll be hoping for mid-table respectability at most. I do have a track record though - I won the Irish Indo's first ever Fantasy Football competition back in '94. Well, it was the first Premier League one, they ran one for USA 94 which was very popular so they went for the real thing after that. Back in my day you could only do one transfer per season, when men were men and there was none of this wildcard rubbish!

Hope nobody minds an unfamiliar name joining! I've been lurking here for a few weeks and I can never resist joining a fantasy league.

ha ha no way I was only telling digger about this earlier today. Those were the days when you had to dial your selection in to a premium phone number

I was in the top 10 of that indo one for most of the season but fell off with a few weeks to go. How much did you win for that?

My Mother went mental at a phone bill she got when I was a teenager, it was about 5 times higher than usual, I managed to convince her that I had been calling a service with Liverpool FC transfer speculation.... She bought it..Sucker!

:D

I won £10,000, and I was only just gone 17! My brothers all had teams in it as well though and we'd struck a deal to split the prize if anyone won (at my suggestion

), so I got 4 and they got 2 each. I timed my run to perfection, I crept into the top 20 about half way through moved up steadily and ended up only going ahead with one week to go - and I won by 1 point. The one transfer I did was to get rid of Stefan Schwarz and get in Brian Roy who got me that one extra point so it was a stroke of managerial genius!

I won our FFL in work 2 years back - won it by 1 point as well - the 1 point that I won by was due to Ageuro taking off his shirt after scoring the injury time goal that won city the league.
He was booked for taking his shirt off - causing the guy who was winning to be docked!!

Only won €150 though.

Haha, that's classic!!

Better get my team together.

In the past I'd spend a good couple of hours selecting and mulling over my team. Today I pressed auto fill and it gave me a decent enough team. Made 2 minor changes. Will still come last regardless

statss · 13-08-2013 11:36PM

best team name goes to Blockic anyway.....

Now that you're married you might find that fookin around with transfer fees and form will take on a new level of interest!

It's all looking a bit macho round here, you need some females to keep you on the straight and narrow... so I'm in :pac:

ClashCityRocker · 15-08-2013 05:20PM

Just tried to join my work league and apparently it is full! There was me thinking waiting a few days before the start of the season to set up my team would be a wise strategy.

Oh well, the A/R/T league is a more than adequate substitute :pac:
