11/12 Fantasy Football League! (Read First Post!)

Hello again!

With Premier League football season kicking off on Saturday August 13th, it's getting a bit close for comfort, and since no-one has started a thread for this year yet, I figured I'd get it going again.
After a couple of years with the quirky and frankly woefully organised Absolute-Radio fantasy football website, I think it's time to switch to something a little more professional and a site which requires a little more interaction from week to week as you select your best 11 from a squad of 15 for each game.

Register here: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

and if we get a few interested folks here again I'll go ahead and start a private :gtplanet: league and post the PIN here.

*EDIT* I have created GTPlanet Premiership, and the entry code you'll need is: 1142119-300991
Please send a PM to me from your :gtplanet: account with your teamname so I'll know you're a legitimate entrant from GTP. 👍
Also, feel free to drop a message in the the forum on that site, so we can relate the team (& registered) names to :gtplanet: usernames, as it'll make it easier to post updates here.

See you at kickoff!

Even though I don't follow the EPL that closely, I've been playing fantasy premier league for the past couple of years.

If there's a GTP league, I'm in.👍

Edit: Welcome back Smallhorses.

Good to see some takers for this. 👍
I have edited the league name and access code to the first post.
Please also shoot me a PM to let me know what your team name and displayed name on the site will be. If I don't recognise a name, it'll not be accepted to the league (hence the need for a PM), as this ensures that only GTPlanet members can join, as it's not uncommon for strangers to try and join every league that takes their fancy. :rolleyes:
 
I'm not sure if I'm going to join this time. I didn't participate at all last time. I haven't played any new PES, so I'm totally lost with the new and updated footy scene. Still stuck in 2009.

I'll feel bad if I pick a dominating team and win the whole thing while not even actively participating.
 
I'm in too, PM sent. I played this all year last year but got knocked out in the final play-offs in the main league I was participating in.

Is this a head-to-head league or a regular style league? Regular style goes on points alone I think, but that's like ranking people on how many goals they score. Head to head pitches you in matches against other teams which makes it more like a proper league table, 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw etc.
 
I've just kicked a team called PipeDream FC entered by -John- out of the league. If this is your team and you're a member here, you need to let me know who you are on :gtplanet: by PM, as I requested, before you'll be reinstated.
 
Go ahead and drop a post in the private league forum for GTPlanet Premiership on the Fantasy Football site as well that relates your name on the Fantasy Football site to your :gtplanet: usertag so we can keep track of who is who. 💡
 
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm having problems signing in...

I couldn't access the site for several hours yesterday afternoon/evening, and now it's down again... :indiff: Doesn't bode too well for those last minute changes if the site is going to go down at peak times... I hope all the people (well, all three of them) that promised to join my own league last night were able to do so. :nervous:

I've had similar problems TM, it took several goes to get in yesterday and today is just as bad. I'm not sure if it's server overload or teething troubles with the new site (its extensively revamped from previous years).

Anyhow, I have had a team for a few weeks now so I'll add the GTP league (as soon as I get into the site!). PM sent
 
Yup, site's down, probably because it's so last minute. I've logged off because I don't need to be on at the moment. Good luck to everybody this year.:cheers::D
 
Site is still down. Needed to make last minute changes due to transfer news. Now the first games are being played i've missed the window so now transfers will cost me points. Great.

The site came back up for a bit, but only after the free transfer window had closed :ouch:

That said, if a player you had picked for your starting XI doesn't play, I think he is automatically subbed for someone you had on your bench, provided you had a replacement for that position.

Still, it's very annoying not being able to make changes before today's kick off - and the site has been down since yesterday afternoon. Atleast three players have not been able to join my league as a result, which is very irritating indeed :ouch:

Yeah I had 3 liverpool players on my starting 11 before they signed Jose Enrique, who I also had.

:(


Edit: Just got to see the site and my subs and transfers are all gone, as if they never happened.:odd:
While I now have just 3 Liverpool players, I also have two Toettenham players. They ain't useful today are they?:rolleyes:
 
Just bounced a 2nd team from the league, Bully's Babes entered by Lee Dorsett.
No announcement here, by GTPlanet PM or by post in the Fantasy League Forum.
If you are a GTPlanet member and wish to join please do as requested, read the first post of this thread and follow the instructions to get reinstated.

Oddly enough I can see DGiant2000's name on the list of teams I can suspend from the league, however, they don't appear on the main list of teams in the league yet. :odd: Hopefully when their server burp is sorted and the points get tallied up, everything will sort itself out.

*Edit* Now I can't log in either. If I try to reset my password it says my email address doesn't exist, and yet we can log in from itgirlxx's account just fine, and you can see my team in the leagues we're both part of. Bizarre.

I guess I jinxed it with this statement:
