It comes around so quickly doesn’t it.

The biggest, best and most followed fantasy football\* league on the planet is back.

I have renewed the SDMB League on [http://fantasy.premierleague.com](http://fantasy.premierleague.com) in an attempt to do better than last year. Anyone who was part of it last year will be automatically included. Anyone new who wants to join in the code is **870185-333608**. The 1st Gameweek is 13th August so all teams will need to be in by then. You have unlimited transfers until that point, so plenty of time to react to the latest gossip.

EPL Fantasy Football 2009/2010, was won by bucketybuck.  
EPL Fantasy Football 2009/2010, was won by chelseafc.

Selhurst Blues are once again ready to take on all-comers.

Good luck all.

- Football, not Egghand 😉

Is there room for a total newbie? I’ve been following the Premier league pretty avidly over the past few years, but I’ve never played any fantasy soccer game.

Sure, feel free to sign up and join in the fun.

There is no limit on the number of people in the league. The more the merrier, I say.

Due to all the technical issues around the end of Gameweek 1, there are now unlimited free transfers until deadline of Gameweek 2. Use them or lose them.

Time to get rid of all those injured players I appear to have picked up.
