Fantasy Premier League 2016/17
https://www.premierleague.com/
League name: Nothing Better Than Football
Code to join this league: 312343-96257
The Premier league runs it's own game "Fantasy Premier League" and it is free to play.
You choose a squad of 15 players in your budget, then pick a starting XI
for each game, transfers are available during the season - 1 is free,
anymore cost you points, wildcards are available twice a season to let
you ship out several players at once if half your squad get sold to Real
Madrid in January.
You can only have one team each, but you can put it in multiple leagues.
(Hopefully get more than the 4 who joined last season)

Telegraph Fantasy Football 2016/17

League name: NBTF
Pin: 8072532 - Passcode 2323
The Telegraph game tends to be the most popular amongst Fantasy football
managers as you can tinker away all season with 40 transfers allowed
and make changes to your team right up till the first kick-off of the
day. You can have as many teams as you like, the first team is free but
if you want more you can upgrade by paying a fee, the more teams you
have the cheaper it is.
Many different cash prizes if your good enough.
This League has finished Top 100 for the last 2 seasons so the more players I get the better the chance of finishing in the cash positions? If we are lucky enough to
The Premier league game is open to everyone worldwide (as there are no
cash prizes),
sadly the Telegraph game is UK residents only :(

Premier League 2016-17
Premier League season only 4 days away, so here's my take on the season ahead.
Hopefully better than last season? where I didn't get any of the teams going down and predicted Leicester would just about survive!! also managed just 2 of the top 4.
Anyway kiss of death this year to ... ?
Arsenal - Need a top quality striker but still have one of the best midfields in the world. Really can't see them winning the league but will be one of several teams in with a chance.
Bournemouth - I think they will improve this season and could finish mid table or higher injuries permitting.
Burnley - Probably will be a favourite for relegation but I fancy them to survive this time .. but not by much.
Chelsea - I think Conte is a very good manager and with the likes of Hazard and Costa they should do better than last season, and will probably be in the mix at the end. But Roman's billions don't set them apart anymore.
Crystal Palace - Faded badly last season and I think they could be in for a struggle this season.
Everton - New manager who should improve things but mid table is about the best I can see from the current squad.
Hull - Now Bruce has cleared off I can start to like Hull again, but can only see a season of struggle for them.
Leicester - They were brilliant last season but unlikely to happen again, but if they can hold on to the players they still have should finish top half and maybe in the Euro spots.
Liverpool - Hate to say it but they will be in with a shout this term, with no Europe getting in the way could go close.
Man City - Probably my favourites for the title, as long as Aguerro stays fit.
Man United - Not sure if they can improve much from last seasons position, should be more entertaining but still lacking something.
Middlesbrough - Should be solid and hard to beat, but staying up will be the main challenge.
Southampton - Koeman, Mane, Pelle gone and a new manager? think their bubble will burst this season and will finish in the bottom half.
Stoke - Keep surprising me every season, should be good enough to stay clear of relegation but expect mid table.
Sunderland - No fat Sam to inspire them and Defoe can't keep doing it, could be a long season.
Swansea - Another team who surprised me last season, thought they would struggle but ended up looking alright.
Tottenham - I think they will be top 6 but don't think they have enough to challenge for the title.
Watford - No idea why they changed manager and don't think it will help, bottom half.
West Brom - Pulis is a really good manager but West Brom have been over performing for a few years.
West Ham - Hoping for better this term and some good signings will help, not sure if we have enough to challenge yet but would be great if can build on last season.
The predictions????
1 Man City 2 Liverpool 3 Arsenal 4 Chelsea
17 Burnley 18 Watford 19 Sunderland 20 Hull
So get your money on Burnley for the title :)

Every Little Helps
So I've come up with a possible new cheap and cheerful 3rd kit for when we play in the new EFL Cup competition.
50 Years Ago
30th July 1966, 50 years ago today.
50 years of hurt? didn't know at the time that would be the last time England would win anything :(
I've watched virtually every competitive game since in the hope it would happen again but excluding 1990 and 96 we've never even gone close .... one day?
Here's a video I put up about 10 years ago :)
308 views in 10 years? not exactly gone viral :)

Silly Season
Four weeks to go before it all kicks off again :)
About six weeks until the first round of the big spend up is done and dusted, Premier league teams now have so much money they will all be struggling to spend it.
Here's my first round up of who is doing the spending.
Man Utd have been spending early as they did last season, and Southampton have once again been selling off the family silver.
Liverpool although spending heavily again have been balancing the books with some big sales.
West Ham have brought in some decent players on the cheap with the only major outlay on making Lanzini's transfer permanent.
Arsenal have actually spent some money on Xhaka who hit one of the worst penalties in the Euros?
Top Transfers so far (up to 15th July)
Granit Xhaka (B Monch'bach - Arsenal) 38.25m
Henrikh Mkhitaryan (B Dortmund - Man Utd) 35.7m
Sadio Mané (Southampton - Liverpool) 35.02m
Michy Batshuayi (Marseille - Chelsea) 33.15m
Eric Bailly (Villarreal - Man Utd) 32.3m
Ilkay Gündogan (B Dortmund - Man City) 22.95m
Vincent Janssen (AZ Alkmaar - Tottenham) 18.79m
Ahmed Musa (CSKA Moscow - Leicester) 16.58m
Nolito (Celta Vigo - Man City) 15.3m
Jordon Ibe (Liverpool - Bournemouth) 15m
Andros Townsend (Newcastle - C Palace) 13.26m
Nampalys Mendy (Nice - Leicester) 13.18m

Wales
Good luck Wales in their Semi Final against Portugal :)
James Collins looks likely to play so a Hammer to cheer on.
One thing that crossed my mind before the Tournament kicked off was "does having a really good song help you?" thinking of New Order's brilliant tune in 1990 which helped us get to the Semi's.
I love the Manic Street Preachers so the official Wales tune was a big favourite of mine, considering once again most of the England songs are crap.
Seems to have worked :)

England Disgrace
I've seen some ropey England performances but this has to be the worst ever. Iceland are a decent team but can never have expected such an easy passage to the next round.
The first half was poor but everyone expected us to take control in the second half, but we actually got worse? Rooney had been reasonable in the first half but seemed to forget how to play the game in the 2nd half, Harry Kane was an embarrassment and should have been hauled off at half time to allow Sturridge to play in the centre.
At least Vardy looked like he was trying when he came on unlike the rest of the team and Marcus Rashford did more in 5 minutes than the rest had managed all game.
Here are my over generous ratings - Hart 2, Walker 2, Rose 3, Smalling 3, Cahill 3, Dier 3, Alli 4, Rooney 4, Sterling 1, Kane 0, Sturridge 3, Subs - Wilshere 2, Vardy 5, Rashford 6
Hodgson has gone and I think the majority of this team should be banished from the national side as punishment.
Now really glad he didn't pick any West Ham players who would have got tainted by this shower of shit.

Euro 2016 Progress
All the teams have played twice and France, Spain and Italy are the only ones with 2 wins each.
Spain have probably been the only team to look good in both games, Italy struggled against Sweden after the terrific win over Belgium. France have had to rely on Dimi Payet's late brilliance to win both games after struggling against Rumania and Albania.
Of the rest Germany have played well but struggle up front, England have not hit top gear, Portugal have played well but Ronaldo is having a nightmare.
Favourite game was Northern Ireland's win over the Ukraine.
Teams that have disappointed so far - Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Poland.
Teams doing better than expected - Hungary, Iceland, Northern Ireland.

Euros 2016 Fantasy Football
The Telegraph (Torygraph?) have launched their Euro 2016 Fantasy game.
£25k in prizes, with £10k for the winner.
If anyone wants to join the Nothing Better Than Football league? the details are -
League Name: NBTF EUROS - League Pin: 8111097
Sadly no prizes/medals for winning this league unless you finish top 10 overall, but you will get my gratitude :) Hopefully we can get a high placed finish to challenge some of the big groups?
Personal stuff - probably did well in the regular fantasy football league last season as I was out of work for a lot of it after being made redundant/laid off twice in 2015 :(
Just a handful of part time jobs to interfere with this serious stuff :)
But sod's law I've got a nice new full time job starting tomorrow which will totally interfere with all the early kick off's in the Euros, meaning not only will I miss all the 2pm kick off's and maybe some of the 5pm ones if the traffic is bad? also I won't be able to tinker with my teams in this competition between matches, meaning I will probably do rubbish ... excuses made :)

One more table for the season.
Congratulations to Ray for winning this, he also won £250 for finishing 2nd overall with a different team.
But he was only a point behind the winner so he must be gutted :(
The League finished 13th overall, but had reached 8th a few weeks back so could have been better.
27 teams overall which was reasonable. Personally had a bit of a 'mare never troubling the leaders.
Champion - Ray (RCL 2) 490 Points
Starting XI - Ray (RCL 7) 9th
Goals - Richard (Ricks Raiders) 23

NBTF League
Now I'm not sure if Ryan ever reads this blog? but if you do please leave a comment with some contact details (don't worry comments are moderated by me, and I won't post your details on here) so I can send it to you :)
Alternatively Rich from Rick's footy challenge has offered to send you the one that I won in his league, and I keep this one.
Sounds confusing but makes sense :)

Fantasy Football End Of Season 2015-16
Slightly overdue but here are the final tables from the 2 NBTF Fantasy league
FPL - Just 4 of us this year, Gary has led most of the way but I caught him right at the death.
Although the Premier league have decided I was 2nd, I'm calling it a draw :)
On a personal note I managed to win the Fan Footy league (which is supposed to be where all the good fantasy players hang out?) didn't get a mention on their site so obviously not impressed :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TFF - 32 Teams, we finished 58th overall which is down on last year but better than expected as it's the first time we've hit the top 100 all season.
Ryan is the winner, deserved as he has led since week 6. I tried to catch him but as it turned out my best 3 teams were in other leagues, but you can never tell at the start :(
At least I beat John at something this year :)
Full Table (with surnames removed to protect the innocent) :)
Champion - Ryan (Morris Dancers) 2035
Starting XI - Simon (Izzy's Bees) 1534
Goals - Lee (Riders On The Storm, Kypton Supermen) 120
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Self congratulation bit, My blog my rules etc :)
TFF - As far as I remember the best I've mangaged before this season was in the 300's a couple of times, and just a handful of top 1000 finishes in 16 years of playing.
This season (41 Teams) - 3 in the top 40, 12 in the top 1000, 36 in the top 10,000, and just one bad team which finished 20,670th but was the one I selected for the supporters league :(
(one to remember for next season, go with top team not one that sounds right for the West Ham league).
Should get £50 for 17th, and hopefully some more cash from being top 5 in the top 2 leagues?
Missed out on the Twitter top 3 at the death by 2 points, 3rd paid £50, 4th Nothing :(
FPL - Just 4 of us this year, Gary has led most of the way but I caught him right at the death.
Although the Premier league have decided I was 2nd, I'm calling it a draw :)
On a personal note I managed to win the Fan Footy league (which is supposed to be where all the good fantasy players hang out?) didn't get a mention on their site so obviously not impressed :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TFF - 32 Teams, we finished 58th overall which is down on last year but better than expected as it's the first time we've hit the top 100 all season.
Ryan is the winner, deserved as he has led since week 6. I tried to catch him but as it turned out my best 3 teams were in other leagues, but you can never tell at the start :(
At least I beat John at something this year :)
Full Table (with surnames removed to protect the innocent) :)
Champion - Ryan (Morris Dancers) 2035
Starting XI - Simon (Izzy's Bees) 1534
Goals - Lee (Riders On The Storm, Kypton Supermen) 120

Self congratulation bit, My blog my rules etc :)
TFF - As far as I remember the best I've mangaged before this season was in the 300's a couple of times, and just a handful of top 1000 finishes in 16 years of playing.
This season (41 Teams) - 3 in the top 40, 12 in the top 1000, 36 in the top 10,000, and just one bad team which finished 20,670th but was the one I selected for the supporters league :(
(one to remember for next season, go with top team not one that sounds right for the West Ham league).
Should get £50 for 17th, and hopefully some more cash from being top 5 in the top 2 leagues?
