English Football 2016-2017: NOW WITH 100% LESS FANERIO - Page 19 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Obviously I'll be renewing the thread's FPL mini-league once the site is back up later this month. Working title is the "Fanerio Freeroll" but I'm open to suggestions.

Buyin will be in GBP this season though, as I got burned running the 12X for the Euros in USD and holding cash in three currencies just before Sterling fell on its arse. Come to think of it, it was probably the fact that a Brexit vote would cost me money that swung it in Leave's favour at the last minute.

Anyway, I think a £10 buyin and the old rule of it being open only to those who have participated in a previous year's EPL thread is the best way of keeping it friendly. Mic_check12 will no doubt be running higher buyin leagues for the sharks amongst us.

In and yes I will be pending a revolution and me being overthrown in favour of someone who dares to hold it on Stars.

He def did do it. I wouldn't know where to start, think Bandit is on the case

No-one actually offered this though did they?

Wasn't that just some cheeseburger bet on him paying up before a specific date? Where did you get the 80 cents on the dollar figure?

Interesting decision by the Football League to allow top tier U21 sides to participate in the EFL trophy this season.

I vote for a fpl lms on the side. Lowest score goes out each week until there is only one left and he scoops, no chops allowed. Leads to excellent banter. I say this despite bubbling the one last season when it was $650/350/0

punting a tenner on the FPL sounds like fun. I will obviously have no idea what I'm doing.

I think we should find fanerio and send him to some sort of prison colony or something. Preferably somewhere were all the wildlife wants to kill you.

will need at least one more participant in each league (one $20 one $50, both auction) and possibly more so pm me if u want in. last years participants are obv guaranteed a place if they want it

last years highlights include:

-andre bidding a fifth of his budget on the wrong johnson

-lfc_usa being awfully pleased with himself re: his savvy purchase of jamaal charles for about 15 mins in chat, until someone pointed out that he was outbid at the last second and didnt get charles

-deuces bidding on a player who had broken his leg a couple days prior to the draft and was out for the season

-chop losing his mind at various points cos no1 wanted to trade away their good players for his rubbish players

-egregious use of first round kicker selection. pro stratsssss

-me finishing just outside the money in heartbreaking circumstances on the final day of the season in both leagues

innovations will include:

quicker auctions. you no longer get a million hours to select which player you want to put up for auction

thats it

That's a good league. In for the $20 again. Hopefully we sack up and do ppr this season.
