Hello everyone, it is that time of the year again, this years Fantasy Football League game has just become active, and so I am starting a TalkPhotography Fantasy Football League for the 26/27 season for any members here who is interested.

There are two leagues, the Standard fantasy football league, and the Head 2 Head league. You can choose to join one or both. :)

The standard league is where your team accumulates points each week, and the person with the most points wins at the end of the season. If you have not played before, and have any questions, please ask.

The Head 2 Head league pits two teams in the TalkPhotography Head 2 Head league against each other each week, and the total gained points for that week are Head 2 Head with the person you are drawn with. Points are gained from the encounter, as you either win, lose or draw, and are added up over the season to give a winner at the end. Imho, it adds a little more interest each week, as no matter where you are in the standard league, you only have to get more points that your H2H opponent to get points.

The Head 2 Head will automatically close for entries after the deadline for the first game, which is Fri 21st Aug, 18:30.

With this in mind, if a player has not posted that they have joined, and what their username and team name is on the FF site in this thread, I will try to delete them one hour before the the entry deadline, so Fri 21st Aug, 17:30, because I can't after it starts.

Note that is a Friday for the first game of the season, Arsenal v Coventry City.

I shall close entries
to the standard fantasy football league game at the deadline for the 2nd gameweek, which is Fri 28th Aug, @18:30. This is to give a chance to those who may not realise the season started, or that we have a FF league, the extra week to join.

The reason for not keeping the standard league open for the whole season, is to stop people joining later, who may come in automatically leading the league, and upsetting existing league members. There will be just under a month to join from the posting of this thread. But I advise anyone to join early, rather than take the chance of forgetting to join later on. ;)

Because these are TalkPhotography FF leagues, people joining need to be members here, and I ask everyone who joins to post in this thread to say they have joined, and what username and team name they will be using, as their username there and here may be different.

Don't assume I will know what your usernames are here and there, or that you have played in previous years, if you don't post in this thread that you have joined, and what username and team name you will be using on the FF site, I will delete you from this league. It has to be the same rules for everyone.

If you don't post, and I can't verify that you are a member of TalkPhotography, I shall remove people from the league(s). There are thousands of FF leagues to join, and this one is only for TalkPhotography members. I unfortunately had to do that last season, and I don't want to do it again.

Any questions, please ask. :)

Joining the league couldn't be easier. Simply use the link(s) below, and you'll be added automatically after you signed in, or created an account on the FF site, and you will have joined the league(s). :)


All are welcome.

Standard FF league.

Head 2 Head League.
 
In my case, it's normally the second or third week when I bottle it and play my wildcard to change the whole team. :LOL:
 
Well hopefully I'm in this year.

Edit to add team name.

Biggin Bangers are back!
 
I'm going to post it here, so maybe I won't go back on it - I'll at least give no Haaland 3 weeks ... it's hard to resist, but I just want to vary things up a bit
 
so far I'm happy with my initial team, it'll change a bit no doubt pre-kick off, keeping an eye on friendly injuries etc
 
The Fiend - FiendishFC

Decided to give it yet another go......
 
Since this thread has been made a sticky, there is no thread to bump to catch peoples attention. :oops: :$ :rolleyes:

We are up to 9 atm. We had 13 last season, so we have a couple of weeks to get close to, or hopefully above that. I'm hoping as we get closer to the start of the season people will start looking for a Fantasy Football thread. I hope they do, and they do it in time. ;)
 
I’m back in both leagues.
Now both Klopp and Slot are gone, I’ve retired the ‘Boom’ team names so come on ‘Iraola Tombola’

Good luck everyone
 
And so it starts, Fernandes as captain, a whole 4 points, and 18 points on the bench atm. :rolleyes: I have more points on the bench. :LOL:

I'm for João Pedro, Semenyo or god forbid, Szoboszlai, not to play, or if they do, get more than Dewsbury-Hall who got 11 points. Unlikely. :LOL:

Still, Man Utd losing raised a smile. ;):)
 
I captained Bruno too, also had Thiago who missed a penalty so got 0 pts on him ... had 11pts on the bench, but they were just fillers to begin with.
 
Damn it! I had Szoboszlai onfield till the last minute, switched for Anderson ... no more last minute changes!!!!

I wonder how many had Haaland triple captain? sux to be them

@redhed17 I only just realised we're playing H2H this round lol

Come on ROGERS!!! :ROFLMAO:
Tbh, I hadn't even looked at the H2H match ups. :LOL:

It would be funny if João Pedro didn't play, and I got the 11 points for Dewsbury-Hall off the bench. ;) I don't think that will happen though, so Rogers may be the decider between us. :rolleyes:

Stop trying to Jinx Pedro! :ROFLMAO:
 
Just in case anyone is not aware, the scores will not update officially this season until after 9am the morn after the final match of that round. I checked after this time this morning and the H2H standing still had not updated, so could be anytime after, but not before.

Well done to New Oak for making Fernandes triple captain. 69 points from one player

Cheers! :beer: It was a gamble for sure but I felt I needed to make a move lacking Haaland. I'm not sure how long that will last! - but I did say I would give it 3 rounds at least

It worked out well for both leagues, as 'Average' was probably higher than usual at 81pts
