The site is live and thus it's time to pick a team and then forget about it two months into the season.

Fantasy Premier League

How do I play?

First thing you have to do is pick your squad. Two keepers, five defenders, five midfielders and three forwards. You start with a budget of £100m and players are allotted values based on performances in previous years by some arcane sorcery and EA SPORTS BRAND statistical value bullshit.

Fantasy Football Scout can be a decent resource for help picking players. They also have an easy to read graph of the next six matches for each team to help determine who has easy fixtures. The first six weeks of the season:



Load up on West Ham and Swansea I guess.

So I've got my team, now what?

Once you've settled on a team, you have to choose who will play each week. You will only get points from the players that you field. It's always heartbreaking when your forward from Wigan gets a hat trick against Chelsea but you get gently caress all because they're rotting on your bench. It's also possible to lose points if you players screw up (own goals, red cards, etc).

You also pick a captain and vice captain. Your captain gets double the points for that gameweek and if he does not play for whatever reason it will default to your vice captain. Basically, captain whoever you think is going to have a big week.

You can make one free transfer per week and are penalized 4 points for each past that you make. However, you get two wildcards to use, one of which can only be used after the January transfer window closes.

Honestly, just go to the site and read it. It's pretty simple.

The first game is August 18 and you have to choose your lineup before that. Lineups cannot be edited past 1130 on August 18.

TRP Leagues

There are a couple variations:

Classic (22715-25075) - Points are totaled up and whoever has the most at the end of the season wins.

Head-to-head 1 (22715-25194, 123292-50561, 296828-83609, 151333-174946, 174415-277820) - More like an actual league where you play against someone from TRP and get points for a win as opposed to it being based on your players performances. This is currently limited to 20 people so we can actually make sense of the table.

If one of the head to head leagues fills up, create another and post it and I'll add it to the OP.

Do they do any fantasy leagues where everyone drafts from a pool of players? These ones where everyone has the same players are lame, and do not fit my needs.

http://www.fantasyleague.com/Pro/ -but you got to pay 30 quid to get in.

What really needs to be done is a pan-European fantasy football league. I tried doing a paper version with a mates over email a few years ago but it was a bear to manage.

I'm assuming no one else is getting a message saying the H2H is full, it's just sitting there not doing anything after you put the code in?
