Another Lopez for the Scrap Heap


Well our latest trialist didn't last long - about 20 minutes against Dagenham and Redbridge to be precise. The first Lopez, Walter the Fat Wimp, was shit and, judging by the swift withdrawal of the latest in the Lopez line, this one is no better.

The OS report described him thus: "He is tall and looks the part. Let's see what he has got in his locker." The answer, based upon his hasty substitution after coming on as a second half sub is "not much!"

Perhaps we should just accept that there's only one Lopez worth having!

Hi guys,
I promised last season to set up a fantasy football game but we have since found ourselves relegated due to HF's favourite manager, and the worst in our clubs history, Mr Avram Grant. But, I've managed to find a Championship fantasy game, which thankfully for some of us, is much simpler to understand and play (I don't mean you Fred, honest…ahem).

I will create a team and mini-league and encourage all of the regulars on here to swallow their pride and join, so that we can put HF in his place. He will also make a team because he hates to be a spoilsport and has long wanted to rid himself of the technophobic tag and show that he's up with the times (read: He wants to beat us and show us that he knows more and is better than us...no change there then)

Main site:
http://fantasy.football-league.co.uk/Index.aspx

The points system and rules (very simple):

Here is last season's Championship table to give you some idea of which teams to select players from. You can also use this soccerbase site to check on the past form of any of your potential recruits when selecting a team as the Championship’s players are new to us all.

To join The Game's Gone Crazy league, click on 'Private Leagues' on the right hand side menu (once you've registered and selected your team) and enter this PIN: 6298 where it says 'Joining an existing league' down the page.

So come join my fantasy...

...league.

P.S
When registering, do not use your real name if you want to remain anonymous. It's better to use the name you use on this blog anyhow. You CAN edit all this information, including email address, after registration though.

All supporters of any club are welcome. Any questions, don’t hesitate.

[Can you carry this as a separate post HF.]

On the subject of fantasies I currently administer a private league in the Premiership Fantasy League.Happy to open one up exclusively for readers of this blog with your permission HF?
Its totally free, well run and very addictive.
What do you think?

Sounds like a great idea John! Put together an article explaining what we have to do and regulars can join in if they want!

Hammersfan said...

Looks like Stani has beaten you to it mate. Happy to join Stani's league?

Stani said...

My intention last season was to do the EPL one John, but since we're not there I thought I set up a Championship one despite our player knowledge handicap. Make a team mate, it's your league too.

It's not my league HF, it's our league.

Happy to join in HF. My league is Premiership only and there is no reason why your loyal followers shouldn't have the option to run a Fantasy Premiership team as well as the Championship one.
I'll set up a mini league and send you the link and password.You can then decide if you want to use it.

I will surely have a go on this Stani, but I suspect that many of the guys will already be in the Premiership Fantasy League so I have set up a mini "Hammersfan" league.
The link is http://fantasy.premierleague.com/
and once you have chosen (or autoset?) your team the code for the mini league is 258815 126183
