Yet another Fantasy Football game for you all to consider Cheeky

(Be gald it's not August, millions of fantasy footy games start then for some reason Laughing

)

The MLS season is about to start in the States & ESPN are running a Fantasy Football game based around it. Usual caveat - this game is being run by ESPN. There are prizes, but not provided by OLBG.

By the way, my team is the East West Rangers. Possibly an idea to let everyone know who's who in the league.

I do hope that it's not going to want me to email everyone with invites in order for them to join. Confused

The automatically generated email isn't that great with phrases like "who's the daddy" etc and other Americanisms and such like. Nothing wrong with those, as such - indeed I'm a lover of many things American - but it's all a bit "Duuuude"ish if you ask me. Forced joviality is never good IMO. Unlucky

Did you copy & paste the info from above?

*pause while checking something*

That is rather strange, I'm looking at the mini-leagues page. It says I'm in this league, but when I use the "join league" boxes it does indeed say that the league doesn't exist Confused

I can only surmise that it references email addresses with league invites but that all seems a bit odd. The only way to test it would be for you to send me your email address & I can invite you via the site & see if that works. Confused

Edit - the password is anotherfantasyfootyg : Use that & hopefully it should work.

It works now, the correct password was key Cheeky

Wonder if we'll get any more interest in this, or if it will just be a 2 horse race Confused

Must say, picking a team was difficult, half my team probably wont play Laughing

Shouldve paid more attention to player's names last season...

You could always pay attention to the Poland v USA game tonight - then again, Fulham players won't count Laughing

I had originally put the password as "anotherfantasyfootygame" - obviously it was too long Confused

It's all a bit of fun - and who knows, following this fantasy footy might help tide us over the close season & Euro's that we've no interest in Laughing
