Fantasy Football 2024/25...

[Lie-in King]

Hi everyone - sadly, Sky have discontinued this.  A message on their home page reads -

"Sky Sports Fantasy Football will not be returning for the 2024/25 Premier League season. We would like to thank our loyal community of players for your enthusiasm for the game over the last 15 years. You can still log in to Super 6 and Sky Bet with your Sky Sports Fantasy Football account details as normal."

I haven't looked for another free-to-enter competition, but if anyone else cares to, please carry on! 

I'd like to thank all the Managers that joined the AB League over the years.  I greatly enjoyed my tenure as organiser & hope everyone had some fun along the way 😊

Good to see you Mighty and LiK.. taking a well earned break.

I have my team selected but don't know where and how to join?

[Togo]

In. It is a whole new faff but we will get the hang of it. I think you can have 2 teams if that is what second chance is. Get my head around the first one before going there. Have done the autopick to get up and running and now need to change that before KO to my own picks. May have to read the rules as well. ⚽

Give us a clue, Togo, where do we go to first on that site of Mighty WBA?

Click on Help - very helpful!

Think only one team is allowed but check.

The link is there from Haz and MWBA Capito. Once you are set up you need to find the Invitation to league or cup page and put in the code 22ya9t. Let the site pick a squad for you and you have until kick off tomotrrow to edit it.

[Captain2]

Haz, not only can I not see a 'help' icon, I'm getting the message

'Page not found

Sorry, but the page you were looking for can't be found'

when I click on Mighty WBA link on previous page.

[Arksided]

That's all very helpful info ToGo Thank you, but how for those that are bit thick, How do join an AB league

[Arksided]

I could help on the sky one... but ok will try again

[Hazlinny]

20.42  Perhaps Togo will confirm, but I think you have to enter your team on the main game first before entering on the Answerbank League.  Ignore the "page not found" and click on help above.

[Togo]

To join the AB league. Log into PLFF. On the home page across the purple banner drop down the Fantasy header and click on Fantasy in the menu. In that menu in the green banner click on Leagues and Cups. In there look for invitational leagues and put in the code 22ya9t. 

[Togo]

You can only join the AB invitational league after you have selected and entered a team into the PLFF site.

And just to clarify, the link here should start you off

Ahh   ...    second chance is not an alternative or second team but a chance after week 21 to have a fresh start and compete in the second half of the season. 

[Lie-in King]

Just seen this - well done, Mighty!  Good to see a couple of new names (?) interested as well.  I think I'm in & am quite confused but sure I'll get sorted... 😵

[Togo]

You can only enter one team. Multi entries to different leagues with the same team is OK. If you open more than one account you will be disqualified if it is discovered. Setting you formation and captains is something that you need to get a handle on. You also have a vice captain and 4 players on the bench. The bench players will be substituted for a non player. You must select your weekly squad 90 minutes before the first game of that weeks kick off. So no more waiting for team announcements befre entering a team captaion or making transfers. It is gonna be a little bit different. 

[Togo]

Quick tips. When you have picked your squad and SAVED it the site automatically puts 11 players in the team and 4 on the bench. The bench will have 1 goalie and 3 outplayers. The site sets you up with a 4 4 2 systenm and puts 1 defender, 1 midfielder and 1 foreward on the bench. If you want to change formation you have to use the swap player facility. You can also swap the 3 bench outfielders around to 1st  2nd and 3rd in order of substitution positions using the swap facility. REMEMBER TO SAVE EVERY TIME! Or you will do a lot of swearing like I did I should think. Don't forget your team strip. 

[Arksided]

Nice one though fella, for keeping it going I'll figure it out when I log back in on PC

[Lie-in King]

Ta for the assists, Togo.  My team strip is black & blue, cos I feel my mob might look like that before long...

[Togo]

Must say the site is not laid out in an intuitive way and must be a mare on a tablet or phone. Remember players who came back late after the Eeyoo Cup may not be included in their team squads for a week or so.
