Glenryck Pilchards Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 For a couple of years at my local pub I have ran a successful Fantasy Football League Predictor game and I thought why not introduce it to the lovely people of the UKFF. The game itself is simple. You need to pick three teams from each of the five divisions (Premier League, Championship, League 1, League 2 and SPL) who you think will finish highest in that league. Wherever your team finishes, that position will be added to your total. The winner is the person who gains the least number of points. For example if you picked these teams last year you would have amassed these points: EPL: Manchester United (1) Arsenal (4) Liverpool (6) total = 11 Ch: Norwich (2) Leeds (7) Middlesbrough (12) total = 21 L1: MK Dons (5) Southampton (2) Charlton (13) total = 20 L2: Chesterfield (1) Stevenage Borough (6) Barnet (22) total = 29 SPL: Celtic (2) Rangers (1) Hibernian (10) total = 13 Grand total = 94 If you picked that lot you would have finished in the bottom half of my pub league. It does not matter in which order you choose your teams. Whichever teams you pick then they are your picks for the rest of the season, apart from a 4 week window in December where you are allowed to change one team. In order to enter please send me your 15 teams by PM or e-mailing me at rtcwillwalkthis@hotmail.co.uk in order to have a bit of secrecy for the start of the season. By all means discuss who you are considering in this thread. Please get your entries to me by the English transfer deadline which is 11pm on Wednesday 31st August. If you post your teams on this thread you will be placed into mental administration and you will have 10 points added to your total. There is a possibility of prizes but I need to get the OK from the mods first. I will update the standings on the 1st of every month. Are there any questions?
Dil|kid Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Great idea, will pm my picks BUT is there any point in doing the SPL as everyone will have the top two right, how about selecting three SPL sides that are not Rangers and Celtic?
Dork Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Good game, I like it, will have a go. However, I doubt you'll get much response until the eve of the season? Will be worth a bump then.

Will be worth a bump then. I thought I would advertise it now just to get everyone's thinking caps on and they can scout the ins and outs of each club. Regarding the SPL of course everyone expects the Old Firm to finish in the top two but one of them could be struck down by bird flu or some other bizarre shenanigans could go on.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 1, 2011 Paid Members Posted July 1, 2011 Good game, only problem is that there could still be plenty of transfer activity until the end of Aug that could make a huge difference. Last day signing craziness again and all that.
NEWM Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 I'll be well up for this, but would also appreciate a bump as a reminder just before the season starts please.
Glenryck Pilchards Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 Just thought to bump this for everyones attention. I have decided to extend the deadline to the transfer deadline day on 31/8/11. This will give you enough time to study each team and gamble on the teams with early season form. But remember for every QPR, there is a Derby County.
Glenryck Pilchards Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 As we are well under way into the season please start sending me your predictions. You have until Arsene Wenger panic buys Marvin Emnes.
Glenryck Pilchards Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 Another quıck remınder for you to pıck your teams for thıs competıtıon. The deadlıne ıs the same tıme as the transfer deadlıne. Sorry for the lack of dotted i's. Turkısh keyboard ınnıt and I am not changıng my typıng technıque to use the i whıch where the # button should be!
Glenryck Pilchards Posted August 30, 2011 Author Posted August 30, 2011 So far we have had four entries, but I would like at least ten people to enter to make it worthwhile. Please send your fifteen teams to me by either PM or email rtcwillwalkthis@hotmail.co.uk.
Glenryck Pilchards Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 Only 13 hours to go to get your predictions in. And to spice things up I will be sending a bottle of Champagne to the winner. PM me or email your predictions to rtcwillwalkthis@hotmail.co.uk
