Seeing as the season starts in a couple of weeks, is anyone interested in playing in an online league. I am looking to start a fantasy league using the [Official Premier League Fantasy Football](http://fantasy.premierleague.com/). Anyone interested or are their other leagues people are playing in? ---

I already have a team on that site, which I’d be happy to enter (you can be a member of multiple leagues). ---

and after week 1 we have 1. Crimson Pride AFC 2. The Diamond Cutters 3. Wenger’s Awengers. I guess Cesc Fabregas was a good buy 🙂 ---

Just seen this, so chucked my team in. Been doing it since the beginning of the season but who knows how it copes with “late” league entries… If you spot “Gazzgo Rangers” in there its me. ---

You should appear in the league after Week 24 is complete and somewhere near the top as well with that number of points. Only 100 points seperating the top 9 teams and definetely all to play for with 15 weeks left to go. ---

yup - in at 4th so far by the looks of things, and with a couple of players still to play in this week’s double game week, so third’s doable… ---

Looks like we had two new entries over the weekend, not just the one. Not a good weekend for me though. Left Carr (Birmingham) in and put Defoe (Tottenham) on the bench. Also transferred Vermalen out, as he was supposedly injured, only to watch him score Arsenal’s only goal. You can’t win some weeks. ---

Yeah, Vermalen is annoying like that - I subbed him out the other week as part of my longterm plan to get a team that included Lampard, Fabregas AND Rooney without catastrophically weakening the other elements of the team, so suspected he’d score. Think I’m finally there now ahead of the next gameweek, so we’ll see how it works. World domination or a slide into obscurity awaits… Bit of a sub-par week for me so far, but I won’t make any final judgements until the remaining games are played. If Lamps or any of my Fulham players have a stormer mid-week I’ll be fine. ---

…And Duff gets me (temporarily I suspect) to the top of the table. Just to check, everyone gives the winner £10 right? 🙂 ---
