    It's disussedgenius, PM him or at reply him and he's usually happy to oblige.

    Might it be a good idea to get someone else to take charge and start things over afresh for the sake of those of us who must join the EG league as soon as possible?

    It turns out I have no idea how to do PMs on Eurogamer. This forum is confusing.
    Can someone who isn't me either pm Mr Disussed Genius or tell me how to do that?

    ok it's getting a bit close to the start of new season so anyone going to step to create a league just in case, or should I just start one and put a thread up for it here with the details for you to join?

    We'll sort one out before the beginning of the season, but let's give last year's league-sorter-outer-er a bit more time first.

    Go to the first post in this thread and click the Send PM button at the bottom of his post.

    Better that we let him set it up as then it auto invites everyone from last season.

    "No, you PM him."
    "I'm not doing it, I already reminded everyone that it needed doing."
    "Well, I'm not doing it because I just read this thread."
    "Fine. I'll do it. Ok, I won't, because I'm permabanned from the forum but I'll join the league once it's up and running anyway"

    He hasn't been on in 3 weeks though, so chances are a pm him isn't going to make a difference.

    PMs send you an email, if switched on ;)

    I've pmed him and I am sure several other people have too. Now... we wait.
    The season starts on the 18th, right? Let's worry about it on the 11th.

    Theres probably another thread for this, but ill ask opinions in here anyway. I've selected my fantasy team for the official barclays fantasy league :

    4-3-3. Team value : £100 exactly.

    Koscielny (ARS)

    Kompany (MANC)

    Bench : Cerny, Britton, Diakite, Dawson


    Got three Chelsea players and Torres as captain because Chelski have two fixtures in the opening football week.
    My main reservation would be over Young's value, would suggest swapping him for a Spurs player and trying to fit in Rooney for Torres after the first week.

    I picked Mata because I don't know if Hazard will hit the ground running - they're the same price, so if Hazard turns out to be super duper I should be able to swap 'em.

    I've sent him a PM, his username has changed so you won't catch him on the OP.

    This time of year again, is it? :)

    I'll update the league tonight when I get back from work.

    Edit: though if someone a bit more 'on it' wants to start a new league now I won't be offended. Best get a mod to lock this thread though.

    Does anyone know how long it takes for new players to be listed so that you can buy them? I'm pretty certain if I leave it I'll forget to sign Cazorla.

    Wahey!
    I'd far rather you restart the league, it's your thing. (also it shouldn't take much admining, just let us know the code and sit back, so 'on it'-ness shouldn't be required).

    You can transfer admin rights to someone else in the league so maybe that's the thing to do?

    Why take the risk of signing a complete unknown? Shattering the first commandment. Leave it two weeks and see if a bandwagon develops.

    Cheers dg. Anyone found a decent Android app? I've downloaded FFM by Blucreation, not sure if it's any good mind.

    Do we need a separate one for the H2H league? Or did someone else make that?

    Hey, this whole "wait for disusedgenius to do it because then the former players will automatically be added" thing seems to have worked - good thinking, whoever did that thinking.

    I do apologise for being tardy with this the past couple of times, I'm not quite as focused on FF since the Pro league withered away. I needs me some gambling kicks to keep me focused, clearly!

    Hmm, well bear in mind my first ff of any kind was last year so I'm just making up how to do it as I go along. Basically I think he'll do well straight away as he's a great player and his price will only increase.

    My main reservation would be over Young's value, would suggest swapping him for a Spurs player and trying to fit in Rooney for Torres after the first week.

    I've made two changes since i posted this and one of them is Young!.

    Because it seems certain that Victor Moses is going to join Chelsea, i've brought him in for Young because a) He's £1.5 million cheaper, b) He had a better season than Young last year and c) Because he's joining Chelsea, by transferring him in now i'll have 4 Chelsea players for the opening gameweek.

    The other change is bringing in Pienaar for Fellaini. Both cost the same but Pienaar is more likely to grab a goal or assist.

    As for Torres, i genuinely think we'll see the best of him this year. With Drogba gone and with Chelsea signing three quality midfielders, i can see him getting back on the goal trail. I'll give him a few weeks to prove me wrong, in which case i'll bring in Rooney or Aguero.

    I like your thinking. Swapping Moses for Young gives you a bit of money in the bank which is good. On the downside, he joins a team of midfielders so might not get as much time on the pitch. Classic FF conundrum!
