Fantasy Football Is Back On Ab!

[Lie-in King]

Hi everyone - having received an email reminder from Sky, I've restarted our League for the coming season.

Head for - https://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/

Once there, "How to Play" gives you all the info you'll need -

https://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/#howToPlay

Now pick a team (or two) - yourself or allow an automatic selection. Whichever option you choose, don't worry, you have unlimited transfers until the start of the season on Saturday 13th August. The budget has been increased this year to £100 million per team.

Name your team, then join the League - ours is called "AnswerBank" & the PIN you need to enter is - 8188786

Once your team has its own page, you can change its visibility between "Public" & "Private", depending on whether you want others to be able to see your selection.

The following link can be useful (though as they point out, not necessarily definitive) to check for injuries and suspensions prior to game days -

I think that's covered everything needed to get the League under way & I wish everyone fun & good luck for the forthcoming season! :-))

With you LiK. Yesterday I thought I had it cracked but of course when I have looked again this morning after your post, the transfer page auto loads to my account home page. But I have just sorted a workable system, which may not suit everyone. I am running on the Edge browser but have Google Chrome installed as a back up system in case Edge ever has down time. Both browsers are on my screen apps bar at the bottom. So what I have done is open up my account in Chrome and saved the site in bookmarks. I can take out a player (goalie) and it lets me then browse all players. As long as I do not save anything my account is unchanged and I can open up the Edge tab with a hover or go back to Chrome with the same process. When I quit Chrome it goes back to the home page on re-opening. I know I could do the same on the Edge browser with 2 tabs every time I am in there, but I just know I would get muxed ip d make a clockup. (especially after a scoop)

Thanks Togo - it's all a bit bleurgh really isn't it?

One way or another we'll get the teams sorted, although I'm considering that even in this tech-advanced world, Ken's idea of writing stuff down might be the way to go! :-)

[Togo]

Here is another tip that may cause confusion. Any player that you have picked in the team that you have loaded, to transfer or just to browse the players lists, is NOT shown in the list. I am sure that last year it showed the player and highlighted that you him in your team.

[Togo]

Haha you have me imagining ken looking like the prof in "Back To The Future".

[Arksided]

Togo please don't make it complicated for new players wanting to join, I got lost after picking oop a pencil.

Just entered my second team, 'Hot Shots R Us' which i have kept hidden from prying eyes. Needless to say - and as the name suggests - it's brim full of scoring talent - cue each and every one going on record scoring droughts:-)
By the way, Togo, i'm nothing like 'Doc' Brown - i'm nowhere near as tall.

[Lie-in King]

Hi deano & welcome to the league! :-)

Up to 15 teams now...

[Arksided]

one man short of a hover board, shh I'm saying nowt.

[Arksided]

Mine was to Ken.. welcome Deano.

[Arksided]

Ya-hoo one week to go. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.

[Lie-in King]

Arky - same here!

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

I'll sort my teams out this week & hopefully we'll see a few more people entering before Saturday :-))

Hi Lie-in and Arky
Yes, can't wait for the season to begin. I think there are still a few like Mighty yet to enter their teams.
Let the game begin

[Arksided]

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Funny but so true. I expect a bit of a 'real' transfer flurry this week before Saturdays Kick-off. I've still to do some tweaks myself.

[Togo]

Looks like another two teams are in up to 17 now. Come on all you ditherers join us for a little fun. I have made a few adjustments due to injuries and am waiting until closer to kick off to make them final. No one in from "AB towers" yet. We must be keeping them too busy (^_*)

[Arksided]

There's no sign of the defending title holder either, hopefully he'll be back to join us, I had noticed mighty hadn't posted for a while:

I've contacted Ed/Tech team to re-install this thread has it disappeared from 'Football' section (Been there a month) thus no recent posts appear.

* as it's

[Lie-in King]

Hi all - sorry I wasn't around yesterday to reply, but thanks to Arky for the nudge to Ed, I'll add another along with a reminder that the Towers' teams are still missing...

Up to 19 teams now, with a few days remaining :-)

[Togo]

19 Teams is still short of last year's entry Lie In, I do hope we can attract half a dozen more at least. Kickoff this weekend, so come on you ditherers. You have nothing to lose but your sanity.
