Phillips, Dallas & Raphinha
Good choices, have a guess which three Leeds players I've picked?

FPL also flag up when players are injured, suspended or unavailable with a percentage likelihood of them playing in the next fixture.

I played it for the first time in 11 years last season and really enjoyed it. Used to do the one in the Telegraph (I think) many years ago with a pool at work and a bit of cash involved and did pretty well in that one at times.

Just adds a bit of interest in fixtures you otherwise wouldn't have any interest in.

This season the Leeds United Business Club are running a Fantasy Premier League mini league, and we'd like as many of you who play FF or want to start to join our mini league which is completely free to enter. There will be prizes to be won and over 200 supporters are already involved.

If you'd like to join the league, please use the below link to auto join, or use the below code once you have created your team.

AUTO JOIN - https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagu ... oin/1n71js

League code - 1n71js (For those who haven't created their team yet, must create team first before entering league code)

Thank you for taking your time to read this and join up! We look forward to welcoming even more of you to the league! #MOT
I've joined this league, team name is El Loco Komatevo (the village I live in, in Bulgaria).

I'm pretty sure it would be easy enough for us to create our own MOT league if people were interested in doing that 8-)

I had a look today, the league can either be set up as a classic points or head to head comp.

Not sure how head to head would work if you have an odd number of players, or more players than the number of fixtures rounds?

So I guess the classic would be best, that's what we do at work.

Head to head is best imo, you do need even numbers and smaller leagues. Fantrax runs the best one with the ability to run a manager type sim where only one copy of a player can be owned like in RL. I play in a lot of NFL fantasy sim leagues run via MFL or Fantrax plus a forum. That's a dynasty format btw.. 32 teams (so full NFL) large rosters to pick your starters from

I'm in 11 of those, 4 16 team dynasty, 1 10 team dynasty and I run the Waccoe Dynasty and Redraft leagues.

Head to Head single copy premier management would be 10 team or maybe 12 team at most I would have thought. It's goalkeepers that limit you

Something like that wouldn't be difficult to run for premier football except the premiership isn't a closed shop and players can move out of the division. You'd need a forum but we have a forum

But something simpler would probably be the way to start, 10-12 MOTers long draft, 20 man squad sounds about right
