APAT Fantasy Football (very simple!)

[dwh103]

Like picking Fantasy Football teams and think you can spot the bargains - but can"t be bothered with substitutes and weekly transfers?  Well here is the solution!

Everything will updated on Google Docs here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2ji7lzEmXsCTndVQm5DT1NTVlk/edit?usp=sharing

- Using Telegraph"s Fantasy Football Player List http://fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk/premierleague/players
- BUDGET: £40m - not the regular £50m, it"s a headscratcher!
- Pick a team using one of the valid formations 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-5-1, 3-5-2, 3-4-3, 5-3-2
- TWO transfers allowed during January only.
- £10pp, pay one person for every 5 entrants (i.e. 11-15 players, 3 pay).
- Deadline for teams - Friday 16th August, and payment by the end of August.

I will have a look when i have time but interested

[dwh103]

8 in so far. Further expressions of interest definitely welcome!

I assure you it"s dead easy and requires almost zero ongoing maintenance!

[nosey-p]

It might be easy once you have picked your side but picking it in the first place is not easy. My first team came to 52m, my second team came to 45m, working on the 3rd team now

There has to be a challenge somewhere

I swept through, didn"t pick any expensive players, and two players well under £3m. Total £42m. Bugger.

Just got it to 40m then relies only picked 10 players  

[s4ooter]

1st pick came to £37.3 million, so just changed some....some risks in my team mind u.

[Pears27]

Involved. 40 mil is sick tough!

Thanks for organising.

[dwh103]

There are risks in every team Dann!

No worries Paul, it is a proper mindf***! You"d think it narrows down your options, but out of the first four teams I"ve got in I have 43 separate players selected. Thank Bill Gates for Excel!

[dwh103]

10 days to go. Team deadline is before the first game of the season (you can make as many changes as you wish before then).

Most recent player list: https://i.fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk/premierleague/pdf/TFF_player-list_2013-v3.pdf

The latest signings go straight onto the website, the pdf file may not be updated immediately. Can check this out on http://fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk/premierleague/select-team

[dwh103]

Telegraph have now sorted out their online player list: http://fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk/premierleague/players

[dwh103]

2 days to go. Need teams before Liverpool v Stoke kickoff at 12:45 on Saturday.

Really is easy. Half hour to ponder your team, then nothing to do until January!

[nosey-p]

Will be doing it tomorrow
