    I see that Magnus Carlsen is joint 1st on the Wolves Fans League with 903 points and in the top 50 overall.

    I'm not sure which is more remarkable - his feat (and it is him; he's top of a GM league with Maze, Vachier-Legrave and others), or the fact that you found it! :)

    Well I must confess that Leonard Barden reported it in his weekly Guardian column. What I found remarkable is that, like me, he is a Wolves fan,

    Yesterday MC regained first place in FPL and became the first to score 2000 points this season.
    However this evening he has been overtaken

    Nice to see people supporting other teams instead of jumping on the Man U (yes Joe) Liverpool bandwagons just because they were winning things. Wolves have always been my second favourite team after Chelsea who I've followed through thick and thin since 1967 when they lost the F.A Cup final.
    Dave Salter is another avid Chelsea fan and so is Kevin O'Shea, dunno any other Wolves fans apart from my dog Jethro who says he was some wolf ancestors.

    I wonder how he would do in the Irish Ch tipping competition? , a much tougher proposition than his fantasy football one.

    Slightly off topic but has anyone else noticed the similarity in looks between Ian Nepomniachtchi and a younger Killian Delaney? https://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?event=4168119 They have similar blitz ratings too!!

    Any interest out there for an ICU Fantasy Football league this year? With MC’s performance last season, it certainly highlights a connection between chess and FPL. I reckon there’s a few of ye out there who’d be up for it.

    I've already entered two teams in the Sky fantasy football and I also do the Sky super 6 every week.

    The official Premier League one, the best one by far.

    Agreed. With the sky one I think you have to change captain every day there’s matches on.
    If there’s enough interest, say 6 or more players, I’ll set up a league and send out the code.

    I tend to enter a team, although I don't pay much attention to it or the Premier League over the season. But if it helps make up the numbers, I'd join in.

    Winner gets an invite to next year's Irish Championships, yeah?

    I've entered a team but I don't see anywhere in the site how points are scored? How about 10 euro per player , winner gets 2/3 of the pot runner up gets 1/3? Will ICU let us use their site to collect the money?

    The SKY fantasy football has much better prizes, is easier to use and you do not have to change captain for every match. Anyway, I've entered the official Premiership one now with my Sodacat11 team.
