I'll join mate but I must confess, I'll forget to change the players etc, then forget my id and password, and end up finishing 2nd bottom :D

I'm sure Jabber will enter, he usually sets one up on here

Lads, I've sent a message to Micky, but the league that ran from last year has been re-activated.

Will sort it out with the Glory man.

I'd say you might be out of luck MH if you did well in the WC and last season premier league :lol:

Seriously though i reckon the league should be a head to head one, more fun playing against an opponent each week, can create plenty of banter throughout the season on here too!

If you just have the points system people can lose interest pretty quickly at the bottom end of the table, when its head to head anyone can beat anyone each week...

I agree.

I found it quite challenging to select a quality team.

People have picked their teams already?

Season is close to 3 weeks away....plenty of time for late transfers etc....

Thats why i like this game more than the others, the prices do not fluctuate much throughout the season either so it is impossible to have Lampard, Gerrard, Fabregas, Drogba, Rooney all in the same team. You are forced to use the weaker teams players to cover the cost of having a Gerrard and a Drogba in your team, a little hint is to alter your formation, it can help :)

That's what makes it fun though. You can't just do a Chelski/Citeh and buy every star in the world. You have to work hard and look for diamonds in the rough.
