Anyone interest in playing Premier League Fantasy Football?

Hi, there. A group of about 7 or 8 of us had a Syracusefan.com Fantasy Soccer (Original Football) league last year, and it was a lot of fun. The season kicks off this weekend, so if you might want to join, now's the time to do it.

You can create an account here: Fantasy Premier League, Official Fantasy Football Game of the Premier League

Then once you sign in, you build your team, and then look for the Syracusefan.com group.

We are talking about pitching in $10-20 each, so the winner (depending on how many join) could get himself (or herself) a jersey to celebrate their victory - not required, of course; you could buy $100 worth of Hoffman's hot dogs, or around 20 bags of Hinerwald's Salt Potatoes. It's totally your call.

Hope to see you there! The more the merrier.

If you're a new Fantasy Premier League user, here's a couple of quick helpful gameplay hints on how to approach the season.

Your bench players are numbered 1, 2, 3 when they're not on the field. The number correlates to who's the first to sub if a player is benched or injured in real life. As an example, if you have Haaland as a starter & he doesn't play, if Alexander-Arnold is bench player #1, he'll be subbed in even though he's a defender & Haaland is a forward (This will change your formation). If player #1 doesn't play either, then player #2 would be subbed in, etc.

Your "chips" (added benefits to your gameplay for a week) are limited to one use each for the whole season, so you probably want to hold them for a bit.

It's always beneficial to have players who play consistent, starter minutes. It's a long season, players who play a lot matters. It's also nice to add players who are specialists, i.e. Free kick or penalty takers, defenders who play advanced positions & so on.

Enjoy!
