Hi everyone! Woohoo, we’re back! With a little under a month until first kick-off – Friday August 9th - I've taken the liberty of restarting the AnswerBank League at Sky Sports –
https://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/

(This is where I pretty much C & P last season’s blurb...)

Hopefully all the regulars will enter a couple of teams & a few more fancy having a go this season. Don't worry if you know *nothing* about football but still want to join in - you can use the option to have a team selected at random. The facility to enter a 3rd team in January will also be available.

As last year, we're given £100m to spend & have unlimited transfers until the Match Day deadline on Friday 9th August, from then on you get 5 per week / 40 for the season. They've kept the "Overhaul" feature, which means that for one week in September & one week in February, *unlimited* transfers will be available, *not* coming out of the 40 per season allowance - this is always quite handy!

Info on all that ^ & more is here - https://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/help

The paragraph "Captain Changes" in that link ^ is a "must-read".

When you've picked a team (or two) - yourself, or used automatic selection, name your team(s), then join the League - ours is called "AnswerBank" & the PIN you need to enter is -

8421414

You can then change the visibility of your team(s) between "Public" & "Private", depending on whether you want other Managers to be able to see the details. When your team is created, click the “Settings” button on the pitch, then click “Change team to private”.

A note here - just because I'm called the League "Chairman" doesn't mean I'm given special powers. I can't see "Private" teams & I get no other privileges.

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

This can be useful near to, or on, Game Days (though final updates can be infuriatingly late) -

Ok, I think that's covered everything needed to get the League going – I’ll post reminders every now & again, more often as the opening day nears.

I wish everyone lots of fun & good luck for the forthcoming season! :-))

Another bump...

First bump of the day - kick-off is tomorrow evening, so let's get those teams entered now!

Welcome to the new Managers - the League is up to 19 teams now - come on, you others, get registered :-)
I've had a few tweaks even though I'm still in the dark a bit, will give them another polish tomorrow.

Good luck everyone.
Just a couple of tweaks but no polishing from me, last seasons were far too statuesque, a swift kick onto the pitch when they start.

First bump of the day - now's the time to get those teams entered.

The first kick-off of the season is this evening at 8:00...

Another bump for last call...

If you've been putting off entering your teams, now would be a good time to get it done - we're up to 21 teams, still short of last season's 29 - 2 ½ hours to kick-off...
Im in...
I bet you do get privileges... Mamya gives him a rub down at half time.. We have all heard the purrs from the dressing room

Lol :-))

Glad you're with us, Rowan...
That explains a lot :-/

Didn't you post an invite in chatterbank last season L.I.K. I seem to think that you did. I notice no MightyWBA, he usually comes back to play.
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer says to Harry Maguire; "Harry you're in the starting eleven but i'm going to pull you off at half time." Harry Maguire says; "Oh, that's great, boss. Mamya only gives a rub down."
First time doing this and am stuck. Have entered code and AB details have come up but it won't let me join. The button is pale green unlike the others which are dark green. Refuses to click join. Any advice?
OK I've joined. Panic over.
Hi Bakers, if you copied and pasted the code try a space after it.
Good stuff, welcome on board.

Hi BD! Good to see you :-)

My last reminder of today for everyone - if you're waiting to join, do so now & if you've joined & have any of the relevant players selected, get your Captains picked for (at least) this evening's match.

First kick-off tomorrow is 12:30, which is the deadline for Captain selection for Saturday's games & the deadline Sunday is 2:00.

More reminders to come over the weekend - I hope everyone has fun & a good weekend anyway - be well, all :-))
You can borrow my stepladders Arky.


Mamya consults her legal team and we haven't even kicked off yet ;-)
