Fantasy Premier League 2018/19 *new*

[Buzzo]

Somehow I'm in 15th place in the East League, despite having not looked at my team since pre season, and having Du Bruyne in, so effectively playing with 10 men

I've interfered and made some changes now, so that will be the end of that.

[Liverpool]

Sorely tempted to take Salah out. I know it will end badly but with everyone having him makes it boring.

Messed up today. Trued to put that Pereyra of Watford in and ended up putting in Pogba-Pogba. Cost me 4 points to make the swap straight away

Hazard my Triple Captain

[ChesterDave]

Arnautovic as captain this week. The obvious choice with such an easy game

Next season's game has launched already!

Not much value in LFC squad. Keita maybe if he looks like a starter.

Quite a few bargains though in other teams.

Is EST having a league this year and if so how do you join it

[elrichio86]

Could somebody post the league code please? I just get an error message using the one posted last year.

[danperkins]

Nightmare to pick players this season... so many options!!

[Rigadon]

Played for the first time last season. Ended with 2314 points (not sure if this would have been any good in the EST league). It was fun but I didn’t enjoy wanting players from other teams (ie non Liverpool players in my FF team) to do well.

Would anybody be interested in joining the money league I run in work?

Last year there were 38 players and the prizes were £300/£200/£100 and £100/£30/£10 for overall and monthly prizes respectively. There were some bumper months such as December when monthly prizes were £150/£50/£30 and some of the monthlies were topped up towards the end of the season using the reserve fund.

Costs £10 to enter for overall prize and £5 per month for monthlies. All money paid in is paid out in prizes.

For the start of the season monthly prizes are capped at £100/£30/£10 and any extra money is kept in a reserve pot, so if players start dropping out the prizes money isn't affected. If there is money still in the reserve pot 2nd half of season and there are enough players still paying to keep prize money up, prizes are then topped up with reserve pot money (generally monthly prizes go up, but 2 years ago we also had £50 for manager of the week for the last day).

Prize money is totally dependent on how many players we have and how many continue to play throughout. A lot of staff have left our place in the last year, so we've lost a few regular players. I've had to recruit a few newbies and we should actually have more players than last year (37 currently), although I'm expecting more dropouts than usual as the season progresses.

More than half the players don't actually work here, so payments are made bank transfer or Paypal. Likewise winnings are paid out using the same method on the first working day after a game months finishes, if not sooner.

As much as I would want more money paid to the overall winner (as that's the point of the game), the monthly prizes are the main reason people join this league. It keeps it interesting if you don't get off to the best start and the occasional bumper prize keeps the casuals interested.

All communication is sent via email each month with exact details of how many people are playing and how many have paid, as well as the winners of course.

So if anybody is interested, drop me a PM. Would have to be a regular poster or someone who regularly joins the Est league, not some ringer who scours the Internet for random money leagues.

If the above post isn't allowed on here, delete it.

Just thought there will be some members out there like me that join online random leagues, that might be a bit more reassured sort of knowing the person running it.
