SoSH Fantasy EPL 2014-2015 - LET'S GET IT ON!

[coremiller]

Also, this wouldn't apply to established viewers, but are you looking for a way to be interested in the EPL? Pick a few guys in this game and root for them at the weekend. Good way to interest newbies and you'll learn a lot more about the Leicesters and QPRs of the world that way.

 
There's nothing like fantasy for making that Hull v. Burnley fixture not only endurable, but engrossing.  

 

[Rusty Gate]

In again as Spartan FC. Looking to climb into top half of the table this year. You'd think I'd be able to do that with all the time i put into it.

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Did really well last year with it being my first time doing this. And no I have no advice for you noobs. This is a competition for god sakes, eat my rubber.
 
In as The Cruyff Turn

It may have been overlooked at the bottom of last page, but what's the consensus on non-SoSHers? I've had a few friends that have participated once or twice in the past.

 

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

My initial thought is that to hold off on non-Soshers for the time being until we get an idea of how big the league is. We might get 50 Soshers in the league, that's likely plenty big enough. Right now we have 36 teams.
 
But I'm hardly wedded to this idea, so if folks have strong feelings about this and really want to open the league to their friends who would actively participate then I can certainly be swayed.

 

[teddykgb]

i can never seem to keep up with this and always abandon my team but I am in and committed to remembering to change my damn roster

No strong feelings. It's been a few years for them, and I think that was because we weren't sure how many would participate. If we get 40-50 then that's cool with me.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

In as Charles Blackmouth.
 
Dominated my tiny, know-nothing office league last season, so I'm pretty awesome at this game (SSS).

 

[Arroyo Con Frijoles]

In as Real Landycakes.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

I've found some players I want to get to my squad who are not listed on the website...is it just a matter of the site getting them into the database, or will they not be available until after week 1 starts?

There should be quite a few updates to the database before the season starts, so you should be ok. The only difficulty will come when the season starts and the transfer window still has a couple of weeks to run (which is ridiculous imo). Then all the squads are set into place until the merry-go-round starts all again in January.

Fat French Midfield

 

[Zomp]

LVG's Huge Balls FC

are they new transfers? It takes a bit of time between a deal being announced and it actually getting through the league, then a bit more time before the player hits the game. They should be there by week 1 if they already signed.

 

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

We're up to 44 teams entered now. I'll guess that's likely all the SoSHers we'll get for the league. If people have a small number of friends looking for a league, I'd say they're welcome to join. But I do reserve the right to shut it off at some point.

 

[NHbeau]

I'm in again this year. AFC WTF.

 

[CPT Neuron]

Totally in.....Kennebunk FC Zoomba

 

[cjdmadcow]

Seems they are updating things quite quickly, Calum Chambers is already listed on the Arsenal squad. I'm surprised they've managed to find enough Southampton players to fill their squad, they must really be reading up on their reserve teams.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Yeah, thanks. I've caught up on guys I wanted.

 

[Morning Woodhead]

I'm in for year 2.  Doesn't Mata

 

[candylandriots]

I'm in - Crystal Phallus.

 

[CPT Neuron]

[fletcherpost]

Awesome.
 
I've just set up this year's SoSH league. League ID 4675-2028.
 
For newbies, you can just auto-choose your team to get into the game, and then join the league. You can then make as many changes to your squad as you like before the season begins. Let me know if anyone has problems joining the league.
 
I'm in as Norfolk-in-Chance.

 
Got a team "the Cow's wrong" where do i sign up for the league....make it idiot proof.

 

[DJnVa]

On your "My Team" screen: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/my-team/ there's a link to "Leagues". Click on that, then click on "Join a League".

Edit I'm in i cut an pasted the full stop. it's the little things.

 

[cjdmadcow]

Up to 50 players now, which is a great effort with still two weeks to go to kick-off.
 
Don't forget there's a head-to-head league available as well at 19061-7259

 

[ElUno20]

Is anyone in a yahoo league?

 

[Mr Mulliner]

I'm in again as FC Donkey. Haven't registered yet but I will before the season starts. Someone needs to provide reliable bottom half of the table filler, and I'm just the guy to do it.

 

[EastCoasterOutWest]

In as Professional Fowls.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

I'm in as Halifax FC

 

[thehitcat]

Is as Uh-Ohs looking to build on my top half finish last season.

 

[crystalline]

In.  Middlesex Kickers.  Fun times.

 

[coremiller]

I will of course be defending my title.  We realize it's a very competitive league and will be strengthening this summer, I've spoken to the Chairman and have been promised funds will be made available to buy 15 new players.  
 
Current name is Argentina Hotspur but I'm trying to come up with a better name.

Name changed to Rebecca Luweh's Hair.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

I had no idea you can play different formations. It'll probably just give me something else to fuck up, but that's pretty cool.

 

[TheBenzingerGame]

In before the wire as FC Santangelo.

 

[dirtynine]

This looks interesting. Maybe next year?

edit - in as Los Bony Bhoys.

 

[cjdmadcow]

Change of team name : FC Tom Tom Tomsk

 

[LondonSox]

I'm in, "cab went de Jong way" is me (Toon fans may or may not appreciate the name)

 

[DJnVa]

Everyone get in there and make sure you have the right lineups for game week 1.

 

[cjdmadcow]

Not that many of you will be up and reading this at this time of the day, but you've only got 3 1/2 hours left to finalise your squads before they're locked into the system.

Opening day is here, good luck everyone.

 

[john_mann]

Hey everyone,
 
My name's John and I work at playtogga.com. I saw that you were mentioning our platform and I hope that you're all on and enjoying the play!
 
Cheers,
 
John
 
P.s. good luck with your squads. I hope they're better than mine has been in the opening weeking... shameful.

 

[candylandriots]

I didn't expect to win the league, but damn that was a rough start.

 

[DJnVa]

Alright, it's been a few weeks, get in there and make some changes. If you need to make a lot, use the Wild Card, which, for one week gives you unlimited transfers.
 
Hello Diego Costa, goodbye Olivier Giroud.

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Injuries have already hit my team hard this week. Another week of this an I'm pulling the Wild Card.

 

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

I just cleared out pretty much my whole team due to injuries as well.

 

[Cuzittt]

I screwed up the first week by forgetting to save. Injuries and reds kill me for next week. Saving the wild card though.

 

[cjdmadcow]

I've had a tough start - I've only just got more points than Man Utd. Better times to come, though. For me, not Man Utd.

 

[mgoblue2]

I went Sigurdsson for Young and Dier for Smalling so far. Freed up some space with that second move, so I can look at another striker to replace Giroud next week without taking the four point drop.
