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://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/

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://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/help/fantasy

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 -

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! :-))

Draw, shmraw ;-)

I'm hoping to see a resurgence of the Chelsea of old under Poch. Actually, just better than last season will do, frankly...
I think he will be too soft for the club culture, hope I am wrong.
Yeah a draw would be good, I do have Salah though. both sides seemed to slip by the wayside last season but not forgetting L'pool did thrash United 7-0.

Tomorrow's game still seems a million lightyear's away.

Reminder of one match this evening - Man U v Wolves, kick-off 20:00
Bump! I've enjoyed the girls having a kick-about over the weekend. Let Football start tonight ;-)
Help again please. When do games for Week 2 appear on the site?
Also, re points, if a player in the team has e.g. 30 pts. under picture,
are these lost if and when the player is transferred? Still learning - sorry to be so ignorant.
No you don't lose player points. they'll be there throughout the season If you transfer them out then obviously no further points from said player.

As for seeing next weeks game fixtures ... To the right of your team you'll see 'game week 1' to the right click on the arrow which will take yo to game week two
Thank you.
You're welcome :-)
