Cable Forum's Fantasy Football 2011/12

Fspiders · 25-07-2011, 15:37

I notice the new CableForum league for 2011-2012 is up and running and it's put me in automatically

(thanks)

But I think the League administator will have to make a new thread with the invite code for any newbies who want to join this year.

Came 5th last year so hoping to do better this time.

Regards.

EDIT: Code to join this league: 207961-64304

Someone stole my team name from last year! I know you want to be associated with the league champion, but come on! :P

Joined as United!

Think we could get the thread name updated :P ?

**Damien** · 02-08-2011, 09:44

New topic created and name changed

Joined. The player prices seem cheap this year.

Has anyone else noticed that when reading the name of this thread from the main board it seem like another thread all together?

Fspiders · 11-08-2011, 13:41

So far we have.

Pathetic Athletic
AFC liverpool
Soups Dragons
Fspiders United
Sub Standard Liege
Calvinball
a.v0id FC
Pathetic Athletic ( that would be confusing if it were head to head )
Spudheads
United!
Jameseh FC
Sellick

Not as many as last year but still enough to give other sites a run for their money.

Just noticed there isn't a link to the site that runs the league.

It's http://fantasy.premierleague.com

I did an autopick last week and never got the chance to change it. Autopick included 4 Spurs/Everton players and 4 crocks.

I suspect I may be propping up the table in week 1.

**Paul M** · 14-08-2011, 22:40

Hmm. They changed the login this year.

At least it auto-added me to the league.

Fantasy Premier League - An Apology
A statement has been issued regarding the Fantasy Premier League game.

As some of you are aware, many fans trying to access Fantasy Premier League on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning will have experienced problems logging in or registering teams prior to the Gameweek 1 deadline.
‪
While the demand reached unprecedented levels on Saturday morning, we fell short of the standards you expect from the world's biggest fantasy football game and make no excuses for what was both a frustrating and disappointing experience ahead of the new season. For this we apologise unreservedly.

technical issue

Our technical teams have been working throughout the weekend to ensure the technical issue that led to the problems experienced by users are dealt with. Work also continues to improve the quality of your experience with additional steps taken in the game itself that enable you to:

‪1. Receive unlimited transfers
No points will be deducted for any transfers you make up to the Gameweek 2 deadline (11:30 BST on Saturday 20th August 2011). If you have already made transfers and had points deducted, these will be restored to your overall total by midnight on Tuesday 16th August 2011. If you have already opted to play your wildcard, this too will be restored at the same time.

‪2. Opt to start mini-league scoring at Gameweek 2
The option is available to all mini-league administrators to start the scoring from Gameweek 2. Go to 'Leagues' > 'League name' > 'Administer' > Select 'Gameweek 2' in 'Scoring Starts' drop-down menu and click 'Update league details'.

‪3. Win a VIP trip to watch Man Utd v Chelsea
The manager of the team that accumulates the most points in Gameweeks 2, 3 & 4 will win a VIP trip for two to watch Man Utd v Chelsea on Sunday 18th September 2011 . The prize includes all transport, two nights' accommodation, match tickets, pre-match hospitality and £250 spending money. If there is a tie between teams, the team with the fewest transfers between Gameweeks 2-4 will win the trip. In the event of a further tie, the winner will be selected at random.

‪4. Win a new monthly prize - iPad2
Each monthly winner of Fantasy Premier League 2011/12 will be able to choose between receiving an iPad2 or the current monthly prize (replica shirt, iPod nano & digital camera). The runner-up will then receive whichever prize is not claimed by the monthly winner.

I'd like to start from week 2 but that's only cos as usual I've not got many points LOL.
