Hi all!

It is that time of year once again, for the Official Premier League Fantasy Football for the new season - 08-09!. The Neowin Fantasy Premier league is now going into it's fifth year, and I hope it will continue to be as popular as it has been before. Congratulations go to Telvinder Dosanjh's Tel's Terrors 2 who won the league last year with an excellent 2252 points!!

For those that haven't played before, go to http://fantasy.premierleague.com/index.html and click REGISTER. Follow the instructions, read the rules (link below), pick a team and register for the Neowin league. This is done by clicking 'Leagues' on the right hand side, entering the number '62273-17322 ' into the box, and clicking 'Join League'.

You can make transfers - one a week for free - but if you make any more in the same gameweek 4pts will be deducted from your total score. Players get points for things such as playing 60 mins, scoring, keeping a clean sheet or getting assists. However, the Fantasy Manager should be aware that players can also lose points for yellow or red cards. All rules, regulations, including how scoring works etc are listed in the following link: HELP/Rules. This includes info on how players score, when substitutes get points etc. Also look out for the 'Transfer Wildcard' option which is now available ( Transfer Help ). This enables you to make an unlimited amount of transfers in a single gameweek for free at one point during the season.

I will be equally useless this year at updating the thread. If anyone would like to do update semi [ir]regularly, please feel free as I may not have the time, although will do my best!

Once again, good luck to everyone!!

PS:

If anyone has by any chance a screen shot of the final table for the 05/06 season then that would be awesome, please post in the thread or PM thanks!

Farsight you legend! Nice one for making the thread!

I beat you last year, finished one place above you ;)

Ha ha, cheers buddy. Missed the banter actually, not been on Neowin regularly for months.

Yeah, saw you beat me last year - I am back on for a title push this year though :shiftyninja:

GL dude...lol

Hey again Farsight! You are one legend. I only ask one thing... at least update it once a week or once every 2 weeks with a nice sumarry or table. I might be able to do it at some times...

I finshed 10th last year which is an improvement of the year before that! I was 47th the year before that! So an improvement of 37 places! Hopeful;ly this year I will be in the top five.

I guess I will make my team this weekend.

Thanks for making this thread again!

See you in the league guys!

I'll try...no promises though, although I did enjoy it when I did it.... :whistle:

And, yeah, if it ever goes a lil while without an update, then please feel welcome to do one yourself!

Unstuck 07/08, stuck 08/09 and submitted my team ;) Good luck everyone!

Cheers Neobond!

Lots of comings and goings left in this transfer window. Have a perliminary team, but its most probably going to change before the beginning of the season!

My problem is the 'Ronaldo Question' - for the last two seasons, him as captain has been a must. However, at 14m he is very expensive - I could buy, say, Gerrard for 11.5 or Fabregas for 10 and strengthen nearly every position!

But is Ronaldo too instrumental to leave out....? Answers on a postcard please....

    • Sadly, no, until someone gets killed by one. Are they better now when they meet another self drive car? A few years ago, I read that if they met another self drive car at a junction, they would both wait for the other to move, so not move at all. I doubt very much if they will come here where I live for years, to be honest, as I said before, we don't even have Uber here. City is too small for them maybe,
    • Anker announces recall of "More than One Million" power banks, here's how to check by Sayan Sen Anker has announced that it is recalling "more than a million" power banks as they are potentially very dangerous due to burn and fire hazards. Both Anker as well as the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) have released guidance and advisories on how to check if the power bank you are using is affected and how to proceed further if that is the case. First up, the affected model is the PowerCore 10000 power bank (Model: A1263) and CPSC notes that "Anker has received 19 reports of fires and explosions," which "includes two reports of minor burn injuries not requiring medical attention and 11 reports of property damage totaling over $60,700." Anker explains how you can identify the affected model. It writes: After checking and confirming whether your unit is eligible for the recall, Anker has recommended that you "stop using it immediately" and fill the form which provides you with either a free replacement Anker Power Bank (10K, 22.5W) (Model A1388) or a $30 gift card if replacements are back ordered, which is possible at the moment as it is a large scale recall with over a million affected units. You can find the recall form at this link on Anker's website and the announcement posts linked below. You can find the detailed instructions there. Source: Anker, CPSC
    • "Hey can you punch in a new address for me?" "VOICE ACTIVATION ONLY WHEN MOVING" Oh great, so now we have to pull over to put in the address because Siri or Google Assistant don't understand my language
