I'll log in when I get a sec, and it'll recreate the previous seasons leagues.

New Features for Standard Game which we Play:

• All Out Attack - Allows you to play 2-5-3 Formation for the Next Gameweek.
  
• Triple Captain - Triples Captains Points instead of Doubled for the Next Gameweek.
  
• Bench Boost - The points scored by your Bench Players are included in the Next Gameweek are included in your total points.
  

New Ultimate Fantasy Premier League:

• £5 Entry
  
• 1st Prize Wins £25,000
  
• Monthly Prize Wins £1,000
  

• Pick 25 Man Squad - Use your budget of £160m to pick a 25-man squad with a maximum of 4 players from any one Premier League team. Prior to each Gameweek deadline you must nominate an 18-man squad, then select a starting 11 and a bench of seven substitutes.
  
• Make changes during each game week - Matchday deadlines within each Gameweek enable you to make changes to your team while the Gameweek is in progress. If a player has scored below your expectations, replace him with one of your substitutes who is yet to play. You can even change your captain!
  
• Transfers then Emergency Loans - Two transfer windows each season enable you to make limited transfers within your budget. There are no free transfers each week so if your players become injured or suspended, you can sign players on emergency loans but these will incur point deductions.
  
  

Hi All,

Last year worked out quite well, so I've renewed the NEB mini league, for the 2015/16 season, on the Premier League's fantasy football website. The website is free and easy to use. There will only be a 'classic' style league this year, as it seems they've sacked off head to head leagues.

If you don't already have an account, you'll need to do the following in order to participate.

1. Go to https://users.premierleague.com/PremierU...login.html and hit 'Register'.
   
2. Complete the registration form, and be sure to check your email for the activation link.
   
3. Once activated, log in and select 'Leagues'.
   
4. Select 'Join a League', and then 'Private League' and then hit 'Next'.
   
5. Enter the league code: 36616-10831, and select to join.
   
6. You're now part of the league!
   

For those unfamiliar with the game, I'd recommend reading the rules. I'd recommend waiting until a bit closer to the start of the season before actually selecting a squad too, as it's subject to change significantly.

Some key things that seem to catch people out.

• You get one free transfer per week. Any additional transfers will cost money.
  
• If you don't use your free transfer, it carries over until the following week, and so on until it's used. You can't carry on more than 1, so in reality the maximum free transfers per week would be 2.
  
• You can only use your transfer wildcard once, which allows you to transfer your whole team.
  
• Captain scores double points. Choose wisely.
  

Anyone who was a member of the league last year, simply has to log in, renew their account, and create a new team. You'll automatically be entered back into the league.

Enjoy

Thanks Adrian!

I've just auto-completed the squad as you can make changes up until the deadline anyway.

Also just checked and it seems you can have a H2H league?

Interesting. It doesn't give me the option to renew it. 

I'll give it a day or so to see if it reappears, and recreate if not.

Yeah seems to be a bit odd - hopefully it will reappear!

Will sort my team out in a bit...entering my family into it this year I think

That's my team sorted! Just picked players which seem to have a good reputation and then started to get desperate towards the end.

I've gone for a few risks in defence, got one from each of the promoted teams as they are good budget options. 

Up front Aguero is a bit too pricey so might not bother with him but can't pick between Bojan, Deeney and Gomis.

Clean sheets can win you game weeks. It's important that your defence is as strong as your attack sometimes.

I'd pick Gomis based on last season, but Bojan is a cracking player if he's on form. A confidence player, so too hit and miss.

7 teams re-registered so far.

I just can't believe how quick you can build up points! I started late and still managed to get over a thousand points! Loving some of the team names too.

Yeah what I've got three promoted one, and I'll pick two good ones.

I could scrap Kane and pick Bojan/Gomis as Bojan has a lot of potential and was great last season. Only set midfield player is Hazard and I still haven't decided the rest. Payet/Mane could be good though. 

Hopefully more people will get involved this year as it's just a bit of fun even if you don't have much knowledge on football just pick a team and see how you get along!

Any more people interested in this? Only seven entered so far

Even if your not interested in football you could still give it a go! All a bit of fun really!

I've re-registered for this year, don't know if I'm back in the NEB league though? I know I'm in a H2H one with my friend, as he invited me the other night. How can I check if I'm back in the NEB league?

I'm currently in the process of re-registering.

Aye, I will be re-registering and will probably do it next week sometime.
I am expecting a flurry of transfers over the next few weeks, prior to the transfer window closing.
It has been far too quiet, compared to normal.

My team is back, and better than ever! Even with a new name..... Sanogo On A Pogo.

Great, would nice to have a few more registered this year, but I need to try and check my team every week as I forgot towards the second half of last season.

Haha, yeah you can probably tell I was struggling with my team name, and what food I fancied at the time...

Nah and I can't think of a name about McClaren really.

(30 Jul 2015, 7:42 pm)Tom wrote [ -> ]Nah and I can't think of a name about McClaren really.

Wally With A Brolly?

Only a select few will remember this...

Nope, got nothing against McClaren either, unlike the dynamic duo of Pards and JC...

What was the actual reason for him gaining that name? Was it just because he failed to get England into Euro 2008? I know that's how his time managing England ended.

Effectively yes, but the actual name came from The Daily Mail newspaper if I remember correctly when they took a photo of him with his brolly and came up with the headline "Wally With A Brolly"
