Premier League Football (Soccer) Fantasy Football

Post by gm- » Thu Aug 07, 2014 8:29 pm

For those interested in the English Premier League, I've created a Brewnosers league in the Fantasy premier league.

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

It is a lot of fun if you are interested in the premier league. You set up a team of 15 players initially, and after that you get one free transfer per week to change your team. You get points for each goal, assist, clean sheat etc that your players get. The regular vaguer in my group of friends and family is a six pack, and I suggest something similar for this league.

The brewnosers league invite code is:
1262873-297139

Go team Yeast farts!

I joined up I think :wtf:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Come on guys, there must be more people that like soccer or gambling on things they know nothing about out there? Let's fill up a couple more spots and make this fun. It's really easy, and it'll automatically set your line up for you if you want. :spilly:

No draft you start with a payroll and can pick who ever you want to fill out your team with that money. It's pretty easy to setup.

Couple of more and it will be even more fun, and it is really easy to do, even if you are a John Snow about soccer.

Right now it is 4 six packs of microbrews for the winner!

Kick off is tomorrow morning, so sign up today or tonight!

Round 1 finished last night.

Here is the current standing, make sure to check your team for injuries and whatnot before round 2 (next Saturday).

The Yeast farts have a comfy lead, but the Italian Halions are following closely behind!

Jon, am I correct in assuming that after our first transfer they start costing points?

That is correct, 1 free transfer per week, after that the transfers cost points, unless you use your wild card, but you only have 2 of those over the entire season (1 before xmas, 1 after xmas).
