    Hey, so I posted this earlier in the week with a glaring error - so re-posting.

    The English Premier League season kicks-off on August 17 and we're getting a league together again this year.

    Accepting players for Fantasy EPL, run through the fantasy.premierleague.com "official" game. We play a classic, table format (not head-2-head). If you interested, and a US resident, drop me a beer mail w/ the usual contact info.

    Cheers,

    After seeing all of the NFL, NHL, PGA, etc fantasy league stuff on here, I was wondering if anyone ever did an EPL league. I know there are dozens of fans on this site. Certainly has to be the longest season running for any of these I would think.

    I have no idea how to play fantasy league anything. Just happy to see the EPL mentioned.

    As far as I know, there is only the one EPL League - we've been running four years (I think...) with this being the fifth...I've been playing in it for the past three. It does run a long time - August to May but it stays competitive and there is a conversation thread that has all the participants so everyone stays in touch and talks a bit...

    We are STILL TAKING NEW MANAGERS - Inquire within

    I'm interested, but worried about the time commitment. Not the August to May, but the weekly input. Having never done fantasy anything before, but being a big EPL fan, I'm not sure how much of my time this would absorb.

    Also, how does the BIF work? Bottom finishers ship to top and vice versa, or something like that?

    Depending on the number of managers who play we will have an even payout (each member ships to one other) or an odd payout (each member ships to the winner and one other). We typically have payouts based on finish in the table
    Ie - 1st place ships 20oz to 20th Place
    And 20th ships 200 oz to 1st place
    2nd to 19th; 19th to 2nd and so on...

    If you're interested - beer mail me. Season starts Saturday!

    In terms of total time commitment, it can take as little as 10 minutes a week because most of your roster is set so it is a matter of making on or two transfers and setting your starting XI

    Last Call for Managers!

    League kicks off tomorrow.

    11 confirmed managers; 2 more possible would bring us to 13. Still accepting players - BIF payout in May 2014.

    Inquire Within.

    Is it worth reviving the beermail that was sent at the beginning of the season? I didn't realize there was ever a thread on this, and wondered if people had abandoned ship.

    Was an incredible finish to the season both in real life, and in the fantasy realm!

    Had a lot of fun again this year and hopefully I can repeat next season!

    I know its early, but when you guys start this up again for the coming season I want in! My friends and I have been doing this for the past 10 years (since the old BBC.co.uk fantasy game) and I am looking for more private leagues to join. Gooners for life!
