Slugger Fantasy Football League: Open to All
The rules of the game are clearly explained on the Fantasy FA Premier league site.
Simply register your username and password, then set about purchasing a squad of players from the money available. When this is completed, select League icon to join the Slugger league, whereupon you will be asked to enter a Code to gain entrance to the league.
The code for The Slugger League is as follows: 275765-48351.
Once you have entered this, that’s it: you have entered your team into the league. You may also enter your team into any other league at the same time, or at a later stage.
Throughout the season, you can make as many changes as you want to your team, selling and buying players (so long as you can afford it.) Whilst this can freely be done up until the first day of the season (19th August), once the league begins, you will be limited to one ‘free’ transfer a week, with any additional transfers resulting in 4 points being deducted from your team per purchase.
I don’t want to be a killjoy, but I would stress that it is very easy for me to delete teams. I will only do so if people choose to register sectarian or paramilitary titles for their clubs and/or managers. Whilst silly club names are not a problem- indeed actually should be encouraged- I see no reason in allowing someone to enter a silly name for themselves as manager simply because no one will know their Slugger identity. However, anyone wanting to preserve their identity should be entitled to do so, but I would ask them to use the same nom de plume they do when contributing to Slugger as it will make for a more interesting league.
Good luck to all!

Posted by on Aug 05, 2006 @ 08:27 PM4 teams so far, so its already as competitive as the SPL & English league put together.
What is the prize??

We’re up to eight teams now.
Never thought of a prize (thanks Dan), but I’ll get a trophy and post it to the winner.

Posted by on Aug 06, 2006 @ 06:25 PMWe’re up to 25 teams already, with some witty selections for team names.
The more the merrier!
Posted by on Aug 07, 2006 @ 08:10 AMChris,
I’m taking issue with your team’s name as it has strong political and sectarian overtones and has no place in fun and friendly environment such as a Fantasy Football thingie.In Parcel of Rogues, the P in Parcel is also the first letter of Provies and the R in Rogues is the first letter of Republicans! Did you seriously think that you’d get away with this bucko?!

I’m hoping you’re speaking in jest….
But as you’ve clearly joined the league, I look forward to answering your criticisms on the pitch- cue pistols at dawn, glove across the cheek and all that….Posted by on Aug 07, 2006 @ 06:59 PMChris: “cue pistols at dawn”.
Be careful or Vance or Keith M will be pointing that out as evidence of a lack of decommissioning…...

You’re all screwed may as well give up now, it’s as good as won. I am the champion etc…
