Are we doing anything this year or have we decided that we are far too busy complaining about a lack of quality signings and our fantasy dreams are dead?
Asking for a friend obvs.
Chicago: Out of the loop

I think you automatically enter back into it again

I think I'm out. The are insufficient teams that I want players to do well from. Either because the teams are immoral or just plain vile.
Last season restricted me to relatively few teams, none of whom were likely to do well, and thus have players that accumulated stats. I cant compete at a level with any chance of success.
I genuinely couldn't be arsed at the end of it. The 'ship ownership model is a seething pit of snakes.
-
I have had a look at where I stand in regards to ownership, source of funds, and personal dislike. The only club that I am unequivocally happy selecting players from (discounting football considerations), is Luton Town.
Setting less strict criteria opens that up to a morally ambiguous seven clubs in total.
If I hold my nose, and ignore the medium morally unacceptable (like gambling - at least partially profiting on peoples misery, often with dubious unsatisfactorily regulated practices), I can extend that to twelve (12) clubs.
I shall proceed on that basis.
On my exclusion list is a likely 3 (possibly 4) of the top six, and the most likely eventual winners. So my hopes are not high, but I should be able to muster a team.
-
Ah fuck it. What’s our league?
Chicago: Trying to be social.
-
Has anyone ever suggested you're not quite the full shilling?
-
All the time but I don't have the Fantasy info right now. So I am being lazy and asking for a link.
Chicago: Incredibly busy.
-
Our league is called Talkback, innit
Innit

Chic as soon as you log in for the new season the leagues you were in last year will appear again.
I’m in. 3 Forest wonder-dudes in my squad again.
-
Turns out I didn't get my team in on time because I didn't know citeh were playing today.
Oh well. There is always next year.
Chicago: Loser.
-
You can still play - but you’ll miss put on the pts from the first games.
-
Have transferred, and put in the team as my goalkeeper, Areola. Purely because it amuses me that he's a tit.
-
I forgot I was playing. Too much work and house shit to deal with this. I am now a middle aged man with zero spare time. I will probably win by not even paying attention to this nonsense. I blame
Tricky’s autism.Chicago: A bit of a mess.
-
I am bottom, apart from chic who started a week late. Every single player above us has Haaland in their team.
You are all Paris St. Germain, and have no heart or morals.
-
Fantasy football (somewhat like the real thing) isn't what it used to be.
-
Remember camping, spending my pocket money on The Sun to get the lists, putting a team together using my own knowledge of each Premiership (as it was) player. I knew every team's players, I knew all the transfers.
Spending my pocket money on The Sun. Harland as captain. I'm a disgrace.
And stonking the league. Until I get bored, which is usually about this stage of the season.
