I thought since there's an American fantasy football thread, let's make a UK version.

I've created 2 leagues on fantasy premier league (fantasy.premierleague.com), a head to head league and a classic one. Anyone is free to join one or both with the following rules:

- Post here after joining a league to let me know your team name so I can list it here against your UMD username.

Classic league:
- League is named Wam games
- Joining code is https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/auto-join/zwqh2o
- Each week the manager with the lowest weekly score must complete a messy dare from the person who got the highest score this week.
- At the end of the season, the overall winner may pick any other player to do a messy forfeit of the winner's choice.
- At the end of the season, the person that comes second overall must get messy with a substance provided by every other player (I'm going with second place to take into account the fact that some people will drop out during the season. Having some jeopardy for second place keeps things interesting!)

Head to head league
- League name is Wam h2h
- Joining code is https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/auto-join/y972pf
- Each week you'll be in a head to head with someone else. You win, you stay clean. You lose, you take a pie. If you lose by more than 10 points you must also do a dare chosen by the winner
- The overall winner can pick any player to complete a dare at the end of the season.

My team name is Ake-Kuna Mateta (it's traditional to use a pun!)

Who's in? First game of the season is the 17th so you have until then to create your team and join the leagues.

I almost joined the American version, before realising my mistake.

Let me sort a team and I'll join up.

I'm in with my team Ha Ha Haaland for the normal league.

Thanks for doing this, will definitely add some interest to the season.

I'm curious. Always done the American football version. Quick google showed a few ways to do this. Do you keep the same players all year or re-pick each week?

Team name is ABCDEFC

You get one free transfer each week. Extra transfers cost you points.
You also have a wildcard allowing unlimited transfers once for each half of the season and some other one use chips for some bonuses

I am interested but as a backwards American I have no real idea on this is there and auto picker like what was available for the US league?

Yeah there's an auto picker, and you can order players by points scored last season and stuff too which helps

Season starts on Saturday and so far we've got 4 players. It'd be good to get it up to about 10 otherwise the same people will be getting messy most weeks!

Last reminder. Season starts tomorrow so you'll need to be locked in by then.

So far we have

Ake'Kuna Mateta - wam262
Ha Ha Haaland - geyemessy
ABCDEFC - CaptainCustard
Migraine masters - prae
Nova's gungers - Novagunger

Anyone else?

Is this the classic, or head to head?

Both! Details are in the first post, and you can choose to join one or both

update on the first week's results?

We still have the Monday game.

Gotcha sorry I am an uneducated American

Any update on the outcome of this week.

If I understand the rules correctly then for this week messes are as follows:

For the Classic game:
Nova owes a punishment picked by Wam262

For Head to head:
Nova (Nova's Gungers) owes a pie
Captain Custard (ABCDEFC) owes a pie
Prae (Migraine Masters) owes a pie

Nova also lost by more then ten points so I believe they owe a dare from Wam262 (Ake'Kuna Mateta)

Next weeks picks are due before 6am EST on Saturday

oh no

Hi all, sorry, I've been away on holiday with no internet for the week. geyemessy1's summary is spot on though:
Nova (Nova's Gungers) owes a pie
Captain Custard (ABCDEFC) owes a pie
Prae (Migraine Masters) owes a pie

And Nova lost the head to head by more than 10 points and lost overall to me, so I get to give him 2 messy dares. Since it's the first week I'll keep it small - Nova must complete 10 squats with a bowl of pudding in his underwear. He must then cover his whole head in whipped cream.

Good luck for next week!

At least I did better than Nova.
Need my strikers to start scoring this week.

The results are in for this week.

For the classic league:
Nova again loses with me winning. You can have baked beans down your underwear this week Nova.

For the h2h league:
Prae beats nova by more than 10pts, so he owes a pie and prae's choice of dare.
Geyemessy1 beats Captain custard by more than 10 points. So a pie and Geyemessy's dare.

If only everyone else was as easy to beat as Nova.
Please add some syrup of your choice to that pie.
I will enjoy my clean week, as I'm not too confident about the next h2h.

Captain custard can add a container of custard or pudding to his pie

I've been busy in the transfer market hoping to improve my points scoring.
4 under performers out, 4 in

Pay up on my tripple loss in week 1 is done and here. https://umd.net/profile/i/novagunger/section/photos/album/fantasy-premier-league-2024

Week 2 will be done soon. I would ask in the future for drain safe forfeits if I lose again.

Really starting to have second thoughts on entering this game

Lol, I'm only doing well so far because I had Haaland captained. I would say try to get him in but it's certainly possible that he'll get injured of you do!

So this week's games are over and for the first time Nova hasn't come last!

Prae gets a dare set by geyemessy

For head to head
Nova still gets a pie
Prae gets a pie and a dare from me. You can cover your chest in Nutella.
Lastly, captaincustard gets a pie.

Next week is international break so no games until the weekend after. So we all get a reprieve for a week!

Don't know why I dare mention this bit Don't I also get a penalty for losing by more then 10 points or am I miss understanding something?
