With the start of the new Premier League season over a week away, let's get together.

Here's a link: http://fantasy.premierleague.com

Make a team, and click "Leagues" at the left. Then join private league. The code is 544824-181866.

Everyone is welcome. Good luck.

How does the game work, Capo?

Pick 15 players: 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, 3 forwards.

Each week, you choose a starting eleven from your squad. Each player gets points according to their weekly performance. You've got a £100 budget, and each week, you get a free transfer (all others beyond this cost you 4 points).

The full rules are here. It's really easy to follow once you get the hang of it. If you join up now, you can play around with your squad as much as you like before the first game.

The game begins August 15.

Ive got a team for this already for the new season so ill join your group to.

I love how the they don't waste any time getting into the next season! I'm in. I'll join within the next few days.

And how many months/years does this game last? lol

I'm fairly new to the Premier League, but it seems like they only have about a month and a half off before the next season starts. But since it's weekly league, you can do it JG .

The game runs from Aug till May..

What is this soccer crap?

I am far to busy with fantasy baseball to worry about soccer but i will give it a whirl methinks

so you have dumped football for shitty baseball Yogi, shocking..

I was curious how hard it was for Capo to type the word "soccer" instead of football.

Haha.

Come on guys, sign up! At the moment it's looking to be a two-horse race between De Niro and me. Literally.

Fantasy baseball is not shitty!

I am shitty at it...but that is a different matter

I made a team.

4 teams, this should be fun

I'm in and so is my good lady

Talk about putting me under pressure

When does this officially start?

Saturday Blib!

Good luck, fellas.

Or since Yogi's wife's in, maybe I should say good look, fellas.



On a serious note, though: good luck, peeps.

My 2 eldest boys have entered as well now!

My family makes up half the league.

Pay your respects

Half my team is injured before we've even started..

I hope your sons take after their mom's side of the family in terms of fantasy-sports-skills.

Why? are you in DB?

Hopefully you read this before tomorrow: you can change your team as much as you want before the first game of the season kicks off.

I normally would, but I don't really want to have another fantasy hockey experience - not really knowing anything and without the ability to add much to the discussion.

I'll cheer from the sidelines on this one.

See one of the Yogi clan got off to a great start..

im 5/8

The Yogi clan occupy the first 4 places

What a family

Shite opening weekend for me. Last minute changes annoy me most: I put Robihho in instead of Adebayor and took Upson out of my starting 11. Interesting midweek fixtures, though, with only 12 teams playing...

Putting all my eggs in one basket this week.

Ice and I are right where we should be too. 7th and 8th.
