Hi everyone, we’re back! With 23 days until first kick-off – Friday August 5th - I've restarted the AnswerBank League at Sky Sports –

https://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/

Hopefully all the regulars will enter a couple of teams each & a few more folk might fancy having a go this season. Don't worry if you know *nothing* about football but still want to join in for fun - you can use the option to have a team selected at random. The facility to enter a 3rd team in January will also be available.

As last year, we're given £100m to spend & have unlimited transfers until the Match Day deadline on Friday 5th August. The number of transfers for the season has been increased by 10 per season - 5 per week / 50 for the season - a very welcome change indeed!

They've kept the "Overhaul" feature, but it appears that there will only be one - "The Overhaul period will begin when the Premier League breaks for the 2022 World Cup and it will run until the Premier League resumes on 26th December." *Unlimited* transfers will be available, *not* coming out of the 50 per season allowance - this is always quite handy, but probably best kept back until as near the resumption of the Premier League as possible, to allow for injuries.

Info on all that ^ & more is here - https://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/help/fantasy

The section "Captain Changes" in that link ^ is a "must-read".

When you've picked a team (or two) yourself, or used automatic selection, name your team(s). From the site - "Team name needs to be 4 to 22 digits long and only consist of or using both letters and numerals" - eg, as I discovered, I can't have a hyphen.

Then join the League - click "Leagues" at the top of the "Home" page, click "Join", ours is called "AnswerBank" & the PIN you need to enter is -

8478433

You can change the visibility of your team(s) between "Public" & "Private", depending on whether or not you want other Managers to be able to see your players. When your team is created, click "My Team" on the "Home" page, click the "Edit" icon next to the team name, click the switch to "Private" & then "Save". You can also edit your team name there.

A note here - just because I'm called the League "Chairman" doesn't mean I'm given special powers. I can't see "Private" teams & I get no other privileges.

The following links can be useful (though as they point out, not necessarily definitive) to check for injuries and suspensions prior to game days -

http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/fantasy-football-injuries/
https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/team-news/

The second link can be useful near to, or on, Game Days, though final updates can be infuriatingly late.

Ok, I think that's covered everything needed to get the League going – I’ll post reminders every now & again, more often as the opening day nears.

I wish everyone lots of fun & good luck for the forthcoming season! :-))

Well in L.I.K. I'm in... Nice one, I'm sure more will join in due time, My teams are only provisional obviously that's why they're kept public as who not to pick ;-)

I have entered a team I think, I made a pig's ear of it. See how it goes.

LiK - hope you are doing as well as possible.
Hiya Wolf You're in, welcome on board. :-) I still have a chance at top four... maybe...
I now have two teams with the same name. They are both in the Answerbank League and then both in different other leagues.

I'll just leave it for now and stop fiddling with it.

Hi Wolfy! Nice to see you in the League. Click "My Team" on the "Home" page, when the pitch shows, click the "Edit" icon next to the team name & you can edit your team name there.

Thank you for asking, I'm doing alright, though feeling lost without Lynne - she called us "pot & lid" & I just don't feel whole any more. I'm ok though. :-)
I've fixed my teams - thanks.

I knew that lynne had found love again and was happy, it is unfair that she didn't get longer to enjoy this happiness. I hope that you find comfort with her family and any family that you have. ♥♥

Hi Wolf both teams are nice and easy to see :-)
And for all I do delete all manager's names when I post our league table on here (at a glance if you like)

I do hope some of the regulars come back and play as well as fresh blood everyone is always always welcome, we play for fun ;-/ I get uppity.
