Getting ready for the new Football Season Comps!

[Tricky]

The Tipster Challenge Forum is back up, as there currently just the 26 days to go until the English League Kick Off.

I am not sure when the Scots kick off?

who is up for:

* Fantasy Premier League - a Fantasy Football Game for the Barclays Premier League
I have already picked my squad!
It is free to enter, and you do get unlimited changes until near the start of the season.

I am willing to do weekly updates, with the scores and a brief report!

I may also sponsor the comp, so provide prize money to the Daily Punt Mini League winner, and possibly runner up too!


* How about http://iknowthescore.premierleague.com
This is another free comp, where you predict the scores of all the Premier League matches during the season. It will be fun to do a Mini League, and to see who is the top "score predictor" on TDP.


If there is enough interest, then maybe a Sun, or Daily Telegraph Fantasy Football TDP Mini League too!


What Football Competitions do you all like to enter?

My favourite is the Fantasy Premier League one, as I like the one free transfer per week rule, then -4 points for each additional transfer!
rcgills pipped me to the "TDP" title last season, so I am looking forward to what promises to be a competitive competition!

I'll give it a go Tricky, I've just signed up on
Fantasy Premier League - a Fantasy Football Game for the Barclays Premier League

[rcgills]

Is there a code for a TDP league yet for that Fantasy Football league, Tricky?

[Tricky]

Not yet, but I will set up "TDP" mini league probably sometime tonight or tomorrow, and start a new topic with the info. I can then update the topic with scores most weeks during the season. I think there was about 25 of us last season, so hopefully there will be about the same number of players again this season!

For prize money how does £15 to the winner, and £5 to the runner up sound. And I will double the prize money if the comp is won by a Daily Punt member, with over 100 posts to his name before the season starts.
If possible can people make their team names, very similar to their "TDP" usernames, or let me know if they are different.

My team name is Nicky's Tricky Trees.

I will set up the Premier League Fantasy Football TDP Mini League today, and the "I Know the Score" Mini League, next weekend...

Also if anyone is interested in joining one or two "Sun DreamTeam" Mini Leagues, then either post below, or PM me and I will give out the details.
