Fantasy Football
Inspired by the Fantasy Blitzball thread.
Anyway, I was wondering if the football fans of this site would be interested in running a Fantasy Football league? It'll basically just be exactly how it's run in The Sun, since that's the paper I read, and it's a good common ground for the scoring.
The basic rules of it will be;
- Your budget will be £50 million.
- As I'll be using an English newspaper, only players from the English Premiership may be selected.
- No more than TWO players from any one team may be selected.
- You must pick a formation of either 4-4-2 or 4-4-3.
- Scoring will be taken from The Sun newspaper, not decided upon by myself or any other member.
- There will be two transfer windows for changing players later on in the game, though I'm not sure when those will be yet.
And that's basically it. Of course there are finer points to it, but I want to see how much interest I can get for this before I go full-blown into it. There are already some members who have stated their interest though, and it's looking like it might be a big thing.

There isn't anything in The Sun about it yet, but it's getting towards the time that registration will open for it.
Basically what you do is pick your own fantasy football team, and they'll score points for various things, like clean sheets, goals and good performances. Whoever comes out on top at the end, wins (obviously).

What about those of us here in the U.S. who follow the E.P.L. through the use of Fox Soccer Channel? And I'm sure none of us can get a subscription to The Sun.

We both know that we're not missing out on anything.
Anyway, I'll basically be using the player listings from The Sun. It'll be their prices, their players and their scoring system. If SPL players were going to be put in, then I'd have to judge all that myself, which I wouldn't be able to do because I don't keep up on Scottish Football like I do with English.
So it'll be EPL only.
EDIT: Don't worry; you won't need a subscription to the paper. You'll submit your team, and then I'll update the scoring myself, so you won't need to worry about that. They open a website anyway, so you can check that if you really want to.

Good, a couple more people showing interest and then I'll go into more detail about it all.
Can I assume that that's a yes from you, dimmufan?

People in the US actually watch the Premier League?
Football still isn't terribly popular over there though...such a shame...
@lagunas dream: Everyone knows the Premier League is the best football league in the world
