IT'S MLS FANTASY TIME! :siren:

So I made a thread for this because I'm pretty sure I was gonna get probated or banned in the regular MLS thread. There will still be the usual 1 post in the regular thread, BUT PLEASE DON"T DISCUSS poo poo IN THERE! That's what this place is for.

You can join our league here: http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com

League Name: SA Goon League 2015
League Code: 349-377

This year there will be even more wonderful prizes to go with the great ones from last year!
Last year's winner won a Half-assed LA Galaxy prize pack complete with tin lunchbox and the coveted STEVE SAMPSON CUP! (shown here)

Also, last place in the league gets the fabled Wooden Spoon! I forgot to take pictures of it, but Qu Appelle was the recipient last year and it proudly has a place of honor in her home.

In addition to those great items, we are happy to be giving out the Supporter's Shield for the team finishing first in the regular season and also a League Final Runner Up prize.

Suggestions on prizes/names of said trophies/cups is much appreciated.

I might do my gimmick again of grabbing 3 players each from the 5 worst teams last year. But without Kennedy in goal I'm just not sure I want to anymore.

Trust me, it's not hard. Just pick guys you think play well and you'll be fine. Our league is so hosed that the first 3 months no one knows who is going to be good. Anyone remember Quincy Amerikwa? That fucker carried me for like 6 weeks before dying.

Last year was the first year I played and I won the whole loving thing. As long as you keep up with it its not hard at all. Use your free transfers as much as possible though.

I'm back in as Higuain Chipshots ready to defend my title. The STEVE SAMPSON CUP is proudly sitting in my cubicle at work next to my Frankie Hejduk bobble-head where I get no less than a question a day about it. I'm not sure what I did with the lunchbox.

Unfortunately Higuain is horribly overpriced this year but since he is my team's mascot I can't drop him.

Looks like they added an auto sub for players who play zero minutes which is a good change. I hated getting a player scratched at the last second and having to take a zero.

Sucks we got exiled from the main thread, but oh well!

I wasn't going to play this year but this change, this one specific change, sold me. GOD was that annoying.

Awesome. The actual cup was a spur of the moment thing last year when I actually saw Steve Sampson at a Los Dos game and knew I had to name the Cup after him.

Changed my mind - in as 'Words FC'

Gimmick: Field players whose last names are words.

Now I can forget about it until October.

Favorite player: Patrick Doody.

I think I'll change up the bad team gimmick by making a bad player gimmick. Altidore will anchor my side, and lead us to glorious victory.

So, if Real MLS goes on strike, will Fantasy MLS also go on strike?

I want to put Andy Craven in a good place on the picket line.
