I will be running the leagues again this season (for the 7th year running) with a 2.5% admin charge on winnings. Important notes in bold!
I am on holiday for some of August so the sooner you join the easier it will be for us all. If you leave it until the last minute then the likelihood is that you will be locked out.
At some point I will handover the registration process to Lost Ostrich but the buy ins will continue to be sent to me
If you haven't played before, the basic premise is that you select a squad of Premiership players and get points for their performance. I'll be running the leagues at
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/. The rules can be found here:

Last season's thread here:

This year I will again not hold the money on Stars, please don't ask. As my bank accounts and Paypal are in Pounds Sterling so will the buy ins be.
For smaller buy ins in other currencies it doesn’t matter if you use Paypal or Transfer Wise since the rates are very similar. (expect it to cost about $2 to send). If you are entering the high roller leagues then it should be MUCH cheaper to send with transferwise if your PP or bank isn’t in Sterling.
Buy ins
I'm going to run the following leagues same as always
£35 classic
£150 classic
£400 classic
£75 head to head
£35 head to head
£20 last man standing – In the LMS the lowest scoring player(s) for that week (and that week only) are eliminated. If we had 40 players then it would be 1 out each week and 3 left in for the final (with 2 paid) If there are more then 2 go out for x number of weeks at the start. I will post a weekly update in the thread showing who is knocked out. For week 1 only the lowest scorer in the league will be removed however many runners there are. If a tie then both go out.
Anyone is welcome to play, just send away and invite your mates!
Payment Info
If you want to play one of the leagues then PM me for Paypal address or bank details. They are the same as last time so you can go ahead and send if you know them already. Deadline to enter is Thursday August 8th as there is a game on the Friday again (the earlier you do it the easier it is for me!). If you leave it until the last minute you will most likely get shut out since I have to receive the payment and get you the league code.
Note that if your team does not show up as waiting to join by the time the first games kick off then you will be refunded and deleted from the league once you join. This is to stop someone regging 10 teams week 1 and only joining the league with the highest scoring one. There is a lot of money involved and this rule will be strictly enforced, once you are deleted the site doesn't let you rejoin the league so don't bother complaining.
I held 10-20k+ for this league the last 6 years and paid out promptly, have also escrowed MSNL March Madness and 12x/LMS many times before and have a flawless rep so no worries on the money going anywhere.
After you have sent please post the following in the thread:
1) What leagues you are joining
2) Your team name on the FPL site. If you do not do this then you won’t get a PM if you win a MOTM prize since I won’t know who you are!
Payouts
Here are the payouts from last year:

This year will be similar, I will post all prizes in the thread as soon as I can but please don't be the guy demanding to know why they aren't online the first evening, everything has to be checked carefully. Realistically it won't be done until about a week after the season starts given that it falls right in the middle of my holiday. If you don't like this then don't join!
If you have any questions then go ahead and ask, hope to see as many if not more in again this time round!
