I'd be up for fantasy football... by Metatone (4.00 / 1) #15 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 12:09:09 PM EST
although:

a) I'm useless at it, always have been.
b) I sorta-kinda fear the spam at the EPL site..

Nasty business. I'll take a look later on with a spare spam account and see what they need; maybe have a look at other options as well.

It's interesting that many of them have shut down (Yahoo was apparently running one until last year), and it can't have been for lack of popularity; the last time I entered the BBC one was five years ago, and half a million people had signed up. I wonder whether the PL have been throwing their legalistic weight around.

Don't worry. I'm crap at them, too -- always seem to swap strikers two days before the one I dropped scores a hat-trick and the goal-demon I switched-to dries up.

Yeah, GuardianUnlimited... by Metatone (4.00 / 1) #21 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 01:19:57 PM EST
seem to have plumped for a "score predictor" game instead, with claims that simpler is better.

I don't know about that, but the transfer system can be an issue. The last fantasy league I did, the winners spent an absurd amount of time fine tuning their squad every day (player prices reflected some playing and buying variables) and I jsut didn't have time for that.

Anyway, the more I think about it, the more I'm up for it, so long as the identity theft potential isn't too high.

Isn't that by yicky yacky (4.00 / 1) #22 Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 01:56:21 PM EST

called "The Pools"? ;)

I didn't realise they were doing a free game; they normally stick with their pay-to-play managerial one. Might be worth considering if all else fails.

The Beeb used to place strict limits on the number of transfers (6 a month, IIRC) so you couldn't get too intricate, although those who did seemed to win; I just twiddled them once a month.
