It's a great idea. I've been eager to do something similar for a while. Sorry to drag it back to this, but I copied @Wezbid's mates' format quite closely and it's gone brilliantly. Managed to scrape 20 teams together. And then did a "televised" draw. And that went down so well we've accumulated a few more so I now have 24 teams in the whole thing And my spreadsheet is **** magnificent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few people moaning that the overall prizes aren't enough. But I've tried to weight it more towards the weekly prizes to, as you say, keep people engaged. I've made it very very clear that if people are starting, then I expect them to be in all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched very little premier league football the last 3 years interesting to see how I do. Weirdly despite showing as a Villa fan I haven’t been entreated into the villa fan league, anyone else had this problem? Its really refreshing being up there. I don’t think I played fantasy even in our last season up there. But yeah I really know nothing, and as usual emotions plays part, I can’t help but putting 3 Villa players starting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all pretty simple, I just need to enter everyone's scores in every week. Only takes one minute to put 24 scores in. But, I'd forgotten about settling ties. So we've decided to use Goal difference and then goals scored. So now I have to open everyone's team, add their points total, and then add up their goals scored and goals conceded and all those too. So it's becoming a little more time consuming. I was hoping there was a tool or something that spits out league/team data but I don't think there is. Well, there IS, but it's not simple. Python based stuff and I can't be arsed with all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 20, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2019 Finding it hard not to wildcard. I do love a transfer. But I know I have a good team with good fixtures coming up, so I'm making myself sit tight and we'll see what happens during the international break. That will probably be too hard to resist.

Stevo985 Posted August 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2019 Comfortable with my start. Not spectacular, but a good first week propped up my average second. Just annoyed I missed price rises on my transfers. I was going to bring Martial in for Fraser last week and bring Pukki in this week. Bottle Martial and got him this week after his price had risen and got Pukki in yesterday but his price had already risen on Monday night. I could be sitting on a £100.5m squad value already No wildcard for me yet. Need another week or two to let things settle. Hoping McGinn has a good game on Friday to give him a price hike and give me a bit more money for the wildcard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishVillain Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hey guys, New on VT. Just joined with the code thinking this was an open VT league, but if it's a league of mates irl feel free to kick me out. Apart from that, could we all take a moment, and pray for a McGinniesta hatrick on Friday please. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted August 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2019 Man Utd players private fantasy league has apparently been discovered. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/02641c98-f448-4c60-ab3c-1b9145e6a128 "the discovery of the United players’ fantasy league, ‘The MUFC Tiki-Taka Fantasy’... club captain Ashley Young sits sixth out of the nine teams with SKIPS FC. Interestingly, it appears he hasn’t included a single United player in his squad, which isn’t that captain-like really, is it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
