Fantasy League

Anyone know a good fantasy league out there? I've just set up one for SpursinHongKong at the official premier league website.

Register your team here
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

Select your players (they can be replaced before the 1st round of games)

Then Join Private League - Code is 72628-17910

Rules - No Arse or Chelski players are allowed

James,
I think Stew manages one called TopPundit.com

Yes, but this fantasy league should be different to the prediction league Stew is hosting. Let's get both done!

Joined.

classic.fantasyleague.com is always a good one.

Sorted, I'm in.
COYS

Great, maybe we should think of some prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed teams

I'll join. We do one within our company. 28 members......Spur'don won last season !!

With just over 1 week before the big kick-off, here is the time to pick your team if you haven't done so.

I'm in. I'll set up a proper link to the site from the main forum buttons.

Berbatov

I think we need to know the rules before we start playing right??

Well then - Whats the rules??

There's a bloke that plays football at Cathay Pacific that runs an H.K. based league but it's done on spreadsheet (not the web).

The downside is that whoever wins, has to donate their winnings to a charity of his choice. I can ask him about a Spurs in HK Fantasy League though, but I get the feeling it's one big league. I have the samples on spreadsheet at hand.

I personally don't enjoy fantasy leagues (too much time and thinking required). I of course luv my prediction league stuff though!

Stew.

Stew - Im a big fan of charity as much as the next man but if you win and you have to donate your 'winnings' to a charity of 'his' choice?? Well theres no point of having winnings really. Just ask for a donation and have done with it.

Does that sound cold?

I'm with you on this one Twig.

Miserable sod !

I totally agree with you both, but I guess this guy is operating strictly within local laws. I guess you could do your own side pools, but I will check again what his charges are under that scenario.

A mate of mine introduced this guy to me, as he thought he may be doing 'prediction leagues' but when I emailed him, he was doing pure fantasy leagues only and suggested a cross-promotion.

As you know, my market is for pure predictions on actual EPL games. I am of the general opinion that most people that do fantasy leagues prefer that and would not generally do prediction leagues (and vice versa), but there must be some over-lap etc.

Also he is not web based and therefore not 'commercial' at this moment. Having said the above, his spreadsheet based stuff looks good. I think he's written in his own calculation formulas.

We are doing a simple banner exchange anyway. He adds our contacts/logo to his emails and we give him a small banner on our 'links' page.


Cheers,

Stew.

Spreadsheets and 'charity' prizes? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Do you think the Old Bill read this site? Let's hope not...

We've had some of the Old Bill playing our prediction leagues before!

What people in this town are more concerned about is the Jockey Club though. Mind you, providing you are not offering your own book or odds, you are generally safe in any type of football prediction or fantasy league games etc.

Stew, when is the prediction league at shameless plug going to start?

Still looking for a couple of extra Spurs fans so as to make the number up to at least 10 pundits (players).

So far the Spurs in HK Precition League has the following confirmed they want to play :

Stew
Twiglet
James
Spur'don
OzSpur
Hairy
IanG
GDG

Need a few more to make it interesting (competitive) ... Any takers? Only $100 a head for the whole season and the winner get's a trophy plus bragging rights (and maybe a beer from the losers).


Stew.

Come on you miserable buggers, get your names down.
