OK, first things first - Master B has said it and I'll say it again - the dozy title is to avoid confusion with GreyDesk's inestimable football competition. I stress once again, we are very much not in competition. But B just fancied trying something a bit more ambitious and I offered to run this one to let him take part

If you have stumbled across this page by accident...

...A quick explanation might be in order. The teams below were bid for via closed auction - ie. the managers had no idea what price the League or other managers were valuing their chosen players at. Hence, this is a more accurate reflection of real life than your average Fantasy Football league.

Further Transfers

Any manager may bid for players at any time² by sending an email naming the requisite player and your bidding price. The League, however, has the right to place a fixed minimum (reserve) price on any player. Once I've received your bid, I'll post the player but not the price to the forums below and give the rest of the league a short period (probably 24-36 hours) to bid.

You may offer players from the appropriate position instead of or in addition to whatever cash you may still hold, but the league will fix the price, depending on that player's original purchase price, and how many points they have scored.

All the players still eligible are listed on the pages linked below. If you're after a new player not on the list, let me know and I'll add them:

Goalkeepers | Defenders | Midfielders | Strikers

Players are free to make transfers among themselves at any time, fixing their own prices and so on. Every transfer must be confirmed by an email to the League Chair, otherwise I can't convert the page.

My email address is alfredo_marquez_01 at yahoo dot co dot uk. For the sake of simplicity, please put Phantasy Phootball, or something similar, in the subject line.

Important: Make sure you subscribe to this page. Once the season is underway, all transfer announcements will also appear in threads on this page.

THE STANDINGS

NB: The 'Total Points' column does not necessarily concur with the total points gained by that player this season. Instead it is the total points for that position which may have been filled by any number of players, according to the manager's penchant for transfers.
