Official Fantasy Football

Official Site: League Code: 8692-3874

Draft Leagues
Running a draft league is always a lot of fun but setting the
initial draft order can be something of a lottery.
Do you want a Serpentine Draft, Random Every Round, or Random Every
Odd Round?
If you're all together in one place, pulling names out of a hat adds
the most suspense and can be seen by all managers.
But what if you're playing online, with managers from around the
world; in different time zones?
Personally, I like the Draft Randomizer - where you
can choose from the three methods listed above and have all managers e-mailed, as the draw
is made; so there should be no trickery from the commissioner involved.
History
of Fantasy Sports:
The concept of picking players and running a contest based on statistic scoring has been
around since shortly after World War II.

The values of players fluctuate as the season goes on, based on supply and demand. Picking
up a bargain at the start and selling for a profit later increases your overall budget.

The Yahoo points scoring system might seem complicated; with points for blocked shots,
last ditch tackles and intercepted passes, unless it's your players putting the stick
about.
Pay to Play

Although there is a free version available it appears that the idea here is to get the
money rolling in, through the pay to win option; especially as a number of football
websites are using a branded version of this game.

updated.
Fantasy EPL:
Where Jeremy Spitzberg and Neal Thurman continue to sound off about the world of Fantasy
Football according to Yahoo and encourage you to Beat the Bloggers.
Fantasy Football

scoring, most of the fantasy football advice is generic.

Mark, Akers, Andy, Granville, Greek Fan and Sir Paulos post their take on the latest
football news and their views on how it could affect your fantasy football team; relevant
to the game on the official Premier League site.
Never Captain Nicky
Butt:

Physio
Room:
Not a fantasy blog but an essential part of a fantasy manager's research; who's injured?

Chris Glover's Blogspot presence, primarily covering his thoughts about the official
Premier League game.
Starting 11:
Forum for fans of the Yahoo fantasy game.
The Scout:
At the Premier League's fantasy headquarters it's out with the pundit and in with the
scout. The pundit never did much more than state the absurdly obvious, so let's see if the
scout can reveal subtle tips to help you do much better this season.
Yahoo Fantasy
Football Blog:
Nik Argiropoulos, a Tottenham fan from Woking, Surrey has finished in Yahoo Fantasy
Football's Top 500 every season since he started playing the game. With a highest finish
of 60th, Nik hopes this blog will offer some useful advice to fantasy managers.
For fans of Major League
Soccer.
Seasons run from late March or early April to November.
Major Fantasy League Soccer:
The oldest fantasy soccer game based on Major League Soccer with rules more closely
replicating those of MLS; salary cap and limitations on foreign players. It also has a
transfer fee aspect that comes into play as one uses the 35 allocated transfers in a
season. Each manager can only enter one team in this league.
MLS
Fantasy Soccer:
ESPN Soccernet's fantasy game for fans of American soccer.
Championship Manager:
Developed by Beautiful Game Studios.
FC Dynasty:
Create your club for free and join a league where you compete with other clubs for the
championship.
Football
Manager:
The original series is credited as being the first ever computer game to use the concept
of managing a football team.
FreeKick:
Online multiplayer-management-game where you, as team manager, take over a newly founded
football club. Lay out your best side, create a winning tactic, rebuild and refit your
lineup with transfers and by investing in your future with youngsters. Set player-specific
training and expand your arena, while climbing through the division and competing in cup
competitions.
Hattrick:
Lead a virtual football team to glory, in competition with other participants from all
over the world. You perform the duties of both club owner and manager. You buy and sell
players, invest the club's money in a bigger stadium or in the youth squad. and select a
team from the players who are in top form at the time, plan your tactics before the next
match and decide on what sort of training is needed.
Sunday League:
Football management game played across multiple servers.
Trophy Manager:
Another interesting game of the Hattrick/FreekKick genre. Although the youngest, it looks
the nicest of the three. It may seem a little more complicated than FreeKick, as there's
more 'club management' involved than just concentrating on player development (which is
not as interesting as FreeKick). There's also a 'Virtual League', where you can compare
how your team is doing compared to your friends' teams in other divisions.
You're The Boss:
Take your team from grassroots obscurity into the highest leagues, through the UEFA
Training Ground.
Paying to Upgrade
A lot of online games try to survive by offering some 'fancy extras'
for a 'micro payment': 'VIP days' in FreeKick and 'TM Pro' in Trophy Manager, for example.
These add-ons can add to your enjoyment of the game, but the main reason to pay for an
online game is to support the developers of the game you adore.
