Sonic Youth Forum Fantasy Premier League 2007/2008

Hip Priest · 08.05.2007, 10:23 AM

Our league so far:

Ecclesiasticus (owned by Hip Priest)

Kelly Greens (owned by Sonic Youth 37)

Sonic All Stars (owned by Danny Himself)

Winners Blues (owned by sonicl)

Napalm Death (owned by jimbrim)

Gerbils FC (owned by Bertrand)

FAUXHEMIANS FC (owned by PAULYBEE2656)

Dream/Aktion Unit (owned by farmhouse)

downhill fc (owned by nick2767)

Ball and the Header (owned by pokkeherrie)

the world looks red (owned by fishmonkey)

FC Foster's (owned by someone, who may be Finnish)

bola na rede (owned by jico, possibly)

os transgénicos (owned by ???)

Durban Poison XI (owned by ???)

FC Portogal (owned by ???)

Feltham Probationers (owned by the ikara cult)

FC Plecewice (owned by ???)

Roll up, roll up, the more the merrier.

Does anyone want to take part in a forum fantasy football leauge? With just a week to go until the start of a new season it might all look exciting, but a few months in and a bit of pretend managerial action will help to maintain interest once we know that the usual teams will win everything again.

You need to go to the Premiership Fantasy Football page (http://fantasy.premierleague.com/), make a team up (it's fairly easy), then click to join a private league and enter the code 647602-118633 in the box. That should get you entry to the Sonic League, which I've just set up.

Simple.

Go on. It might be fun.

I might... although I doubt that I can keep up with it on a weekly basis for a whole season. I haven't really followed the Premier League for the last 1-2 seasons either.

I was thinking about doing a SY board Champions League fantasy like they have on the UEFA website some time ago (when Rob Instigator started one about American Football), but I wasn't sure if that would take off.

When does the PL start?

The Premier League starts on Saturday.

There was a world cup one here, which went well.

This one is very easy to maintain - you only have fifteen players, and you can only change your team once per week or so anyway (there is a deadline each week), so even if some weeks are missed it's unlikely to be too costly over the course of a season.

Sonic Youth 37 · 08.05.2007, 01:23 PM

This sounds great Hip Priest! I've already made my team and joined the league.

Danny Himself · 08.05.2007, 01:41 PM

Done! I'm in. I hated choosing my team though.

sonicl · 08.05.2007, 02:45 PM

Okey-dokey, I'm there. Team = Winners Blues

Hip Priest · 08.05.2007, 03:35 PM

That's a nice start. Since there are only 15 players per team, and you can only change once per week, it shouldn't take too much maintenance.

Hip Priest · 08.05.2007, 03:41 PM

Eccclesiasticus:

Sonic Youth 37 · 08.05.2007, 04:05 PM

Mine's Kelly Greens

jimbrim · 08.05.2007, 06:10 PM

This is awesome, I'm Napalm Death!

Danny Himself · 08.05.2007, 06:19 PM

Sonic All-Stars.

Bertrand · 08.06.2007, 09:13 AM

Last year's sonic league world cup was fun !
I'll manage the Gerbils FC from across the channel...

Danny Himself · 08.06.2007, 09:49 AM

So when do the games start..?

Hip Priest · 08.06.2007, 01:01 PM

THe Premiership begins this weekend, Danny.

Good luck.

Wankness? How can a team with THREE MAnchester City players possibly do badly? Mind you, Manchester City often field eleven Manchester City players, and don't manage very well.

Wankness indeed.

Danny Himself · 08.06.2007, 01:03 PM

Oh. I have absolutely no idea how this whole thing works.

Hip Priest · 08.06.2007, 01:07 PM

The eleven players you select for each week score points for how they do on the pitch in real life. You can do substitutions and transfers, but there's a deadline each matchweek for selecting your eleven.

Danny Himself · 08.06.2007, 01:15 PM

Ahh I get it. Lucky for me I picked the best Liverpool players I could afford. And Shevchenko. Oh, and Danny Murphy because we have the same first name.

sonicl · 08.06.2007, 01:19 PM

Sorry to tell you this, Danny, but the best Liverpool players you can afford will still be Liverpool players, and therefore RUBBISH!
