Let's bring this back for a third season. Last season was very successful with The Mick taking the crown.

Here is last year's thread: LINK

You should check out the first two posts in there if you want a better understanding of this league.

Here are the updated league rules. They are about 2.5 pages long and you should read them if you are interested in playing: LINK

Read this excerpt to get a basic description of the league.

quote:

Fantasy Soccer League Rules

Section I: Introduction

Basics:

This is a ten team league that is designed just like fantasy football. The slow draft is a snake that is determined by random order. This is a points based league where you have weekly opponents and the higher score gets a win. The regular season is 36 weeks long, which is weeks 1-36 in the BPL. Each team plays one another four times.

Managing our own League:

The coolest part of this league is that we keep track of everything. The first two posts in the season long thread will contain all the necessary info.

Each player is responsible for calculating his or her (but not really her because there are no girls on the Internet) score each week as well as posting a weekly roster. Transfers (trades and add/drops) also need to be posted in the league thread. The responsibility to post your roster weekly, add up your score weekly, and make necessary transfers only takes five to ten minutes per week.


Reading the league rules should clear up just about any questions you have about the league. If not, then feel free to ask away.

I would say we should start the slow draft on either this weekend or by next Monday morning at the latest.

Premier League:

1. Vick's Kennel Club
2. WarSlamEagle
3. Tigerstark
4. rdw1690
5. The Mick
6. Wait For It...
7. Geauxcolonels
8. etm512
9. BleedPurpleGold
10. Jumbeauxlaya

Championship:

1. Jebboy
2. svb
3. jackwoods4
4. St Augustine
5. engvol
6. AirRaidTT
7. StiffDewsAreTheWorst
8. StickyFingaz
9. MUMFORD
10.

The Championship needs one more player and one person has to be the commish to run the league.

VKC, I'd like to take one of the open spots, but you might want to give it to someone else after I had to quit this league last year.

ETA: I can't read. Those spots are going to Championship owners. I'll wait to see if we have a Championship this season.

You are on here a good bit, so I feel like you will stick around. I will give one of the two spots unless someone who tried to keep the Championship afloat wants it (and the rest of the league is good with it).

Yeah, I overbooked myself with work stuff last football season, and it caught up with me...my workload isn't as heavy this year.

If I get in, I promise to stay active.

I'll wait for a Championship to pop up to get my feet wet. Sounds fun though

99.9% chance that the Championship does not pan out. You would be way better off getting in on this list. If any returner backs out, then you would get a spot.

We are from experts in here, so you can look at last year's draft and the official fantasy league site (where we get our scoring system from) for some resources.

I'm definitely in, will be on vacation thru Saturday though.

PS - guessing we should start draft on Monday Aug 4, we'll have two weeks to complete - same as last year.

Sounds good to me. Two weeks is plenty of time.

No reason to start if you are out of town then. The clock will open Monday morning.

I would like to participate if possible. I've been involved in fantasy leagues since 1997, usually running them, and have followed EPL since 2007.

I'd like to participate. Last year I was on the Championship and was active in it but gave up once most others did.

I cannot guarantee spots for all of the newcomers, so I would assume we should go with the first who requested a spot unless the returning members have strong preferences.

Maybe there will be enough for a Championship. If so, they can copy our league format and hopefully stay alive.

On the waiting list. Looks we could have enough for a Championship at this pace.

It is also a good way to learn more about the lesser players of the BPL.

engvol, are you interested? I cannot tell by your post.
