Hi everyone - with 11 days to the start of the new season in the Premier League, I've taken the liberty of restarting our AnswerBank League at Sky Sports -
https:/
As last season, we're given £100m to spend per team & have unlimited transfers until the Match Day deadline on Friday, 11th August. From then on you get 5 per Game Week, with a maximum of 50 for the season. They've kept the "Overhaul" feature, when *unlimited* transfers will be available, *not* coming out of the 50 per season allowance - this is always quite handy! This season though (from what I can tell at the moment) it'll only be available once - Game Week 22 (?) in January. I'll add more info as it becomes available.
Rules & FAQs here - https:/
In there, scroll down to "Captain Changes" - you should read that section.
Hopefully all our regulars will enter a couple of teams each. If you've not joined in before & fancy having a go this season, don't worry if you know *nothing* about football - you can use the option to have a team selected at random.
When you've picked a team (or two) - yourself, or used automatic selection, name your team(s), then join the League - ours is called "AnswerBank" & the PIN you need to enter is -
2546257
You can then change the visibility of your team(s) between "Public" & "Private", depending on whether or not you want other Managers to be able to see who you've picked. When your team is created, click your "Team Name" button above the pitch, then click the switch from "Public" to "Private".
A note here - just because I'm called the League "Chairman" doesn't mean I'm given special powers. I can't see "Private" teams & I get no other privileges.
The following link can be useful (though as they point out, not necessarily definitive) to check for injuries and suspensions prior to game days -
http://
The next link can be useful near to, or on, Game Days (though final updates can be infuriatingly late) -

Ok, I think that's covered everything needed to get the League going – I’ll post reminders every now & again, more often as the opening day nears & then for each Game Week.
I wish everyone lots of fun & good luck for the forthcoming season! :-))

Hi Moorea - you can't really allow for having at least one player for every match day. You could use your transfers (5 per Game Week/50 per season) to ensure you had a player to act as Captain, for example, but you'd soon run out of transfers!
Many's the time I've had no players represented by the teams playing on a given day, but the next day I might have several to choose from. If you have only one player available, then that's your Captain - unless you play with transfers.
I hope that's what you needed? Someone will be around most of the time to help further if you need it :-)

I promised myself to be more frugal with my transfer dealings this season but with Zaroury getting a 3 match ban for that rather reckless challenge on Friday night, i've already had to dip into the transfer market. And i'm also keeping an eye on the KDB situation - says his expected return date is in 2 weeks, so i may just have to go a game without him rather than transfer out then in? The best laid plans......etc:-(
