Hi everyone - with 11 days to the start of the new season in the Premier League, I've taken the liberty of restarting our AnswerBank League at Sky Sports -

https://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/

As last season, we're given £100m to spend per team & have unlimited transfers until the Match Day deadline on Friday, 11th August. From then on you get 5 per Game Week, with a maximum of 50 for the season. They've kept the "Overhaul" feature, when *unlimited* transfers will be available, *not* coming out of the 50 per season allowance - this is always quite handy! This season though (from what I can tell at the moment) it'll only be available once - Game Week 22 (?) in January. I'll add more info as it becomes available.

Rules & FAQs here - https://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/help/fantasy

In there, scroll down to "Captain Changes" - you should read that section.

Hopefully all our regulars will enter a couple of teams each. If you've not joined in before & fancy having a go this season, don't worry if you know *nothing* about football - you can use the option to have a team selected at random.

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 -

2546257

You can then change the visibility of your team(s) between "Public" & "Private", depending on whether or not you want other Managers to be able to see who you've picked. When your team is created, click your "Team Name" button above the pitch, then click the switch from "Public" 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 link can be useful (though as they point out, not necessarily definitive) to check for injuries and suspensions prior to game days -

The next link 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 & then for each Game Week.

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

I think i've got Rashford in one of my teams. He's also in one of my pre-season accas to be United's top scorer come the season's end. Can't believe he's evens to do so!
I've never seen new signing Rasmus Hojlund play but at £72Million and City wanted him, must be pretty decent.
I know I read it earlier on United's official website after I posted the above.
For Moorea's little helpers - yes, I know I'm a pest!

Where it says you can set your captains for the whole week, how does this work? I have set captains for Friday but how do I continue?
No problem at all click on the player you want underneath Saturday then Sunday and so forth going down each day.
You get double points for your Captain so 2 points for starting a game would become 4, for scoring a goal (These differ on position player plays) normally 5 for a Striker becomes 10 etc.

Works negatively as well -1 for a yellow card becomes -2.
Thanks again. Have done some stupid things but this has got to be up among the worst! Not to worry - my wooden spoon is getting the worse for wear!
This is AnswerBank. Just like most things a piece of cake when you're up and running.

Hello to the Managers that've joined us - we're now at 14 teams, but there's still plenty of time to get involved if you'd like to. All the info is in the OP.

1st kick-off of the season is this evening - Burnley v Man City @ 20:00 - & the whole of Game Week 1 looks like this -

Fri 11th - 1 match, kick-off 20:00
Sat 12th - 6 matches, 1st kick-off 12:30
Sun 13th - 2 matches, 1st kick-off 14:00
Mon 14th - 1 match, kick-off 20:00

You can set your Captains for all upcoming match days in advance or choose them daily before the first kick-off.

Useful (possibly!) sites are in the OP.

I hope everyone has fun over the season - good luck! :-))
I thought MightyWBA might join us good to see him still taking part a great ABer that left main AB. Under that guise as far as I'm aware

Still no sign of Moorea though? any problems just ask I'm home all day all jobs done just awaiting Tesco delivery (Stocked up for the KO ;-)
