Chaps,

Is there any demand for a Fantasy Football league in Cake Stop? I have a team and am in two leagues on the official Barclays site. I can set up our own league, if you're interested.

    Sod it, I've created two leagues for us anyway.

    http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

    Create a team and then "join league" using the following codes...

    Classic FF league: 1249622-312277

    Head to head league: 1249622-312321

    Excellent, count me in. Found it very enjoyable last year following the league and playing the fantasy game as well.

    I'm not a football fan but have played fantasy football for last 2 seasons. What I have learned is it is not random, and the same 3-4 guys at work win year after year. Obviously that means that secretly they read a LOT of football info. I figured I would rather read novels etc. An alternative is to set a team called like Pilotless Drone FC that just runs itself - and often embarrasses managers who change 2-3 players each week

    Strange. The other guys have managed. Sorry, not sure how to help. :(

    I hate filling in forms and stuff.

    Add to that the fact that I know much less about football and current players than I thought I did.

    Good work for sorting it though.

    Anyone else in?

    I'm too!

    The problem might be that if you cut and paste the code then it sometimes adds on a blank character space at the beginning and end, so make sure the number has no spaces front and end and you'll get in. Worked for me anyway.

    I see as a result of the problems there are unlimited transfers until game week 2 starts. Good job - I've made 7 already! :lol:
