Premier League Fantasy Football

[David Gilbert]

Didn't spot this while away. Can I join even though week 1 has gone?

Give it a try.

The website is http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

The League is called "Premier Chess"

And the code is 1035361-252250

You don't need ECF membership to play!!

[David Gilbert]

The thrilling first week is over, and the second about to begin.

Who'll be the first to equal their ECF grade in points?

Who'll be the first to equal their FIDE grade in points?

Who'll be the first to become bored stiff with this rubbish every week?

Mark Birkin joins in this time and Sabrina too with her fantasy (team), both of them are giving the rest of us a week's start.

Best of luck everyone!

After a slow start last week, my Swansea duo of Rangel and Graham have got my team's first two goals of the season. The comeback begins ...

Premier Chess Fantasy League

Week 2

Paul Cooksey still leads - I bet he's dying to say something!

Mark Leonard's Westbury Wanderers top score with 91 - move up lots of places! Is he a Yeovil supporter?

Ralph Coates' come back in a Liverpool shirt (and this time with hair) secures an unwelome point for Ben Edgell.

David Grobler's heavy reliance on Wet Spam players, leads to the lowest score - 14 - among the competing teams.

[David Gilbert]

Meant to mention that Greg Breed missed equalling his ECF grade by one point!

[mleonard]

Mark Leonard's Westbury Wanderers top score with 91 - move up lots of places! Is he a Yeovil supporter?

Certainly not! Although my clubs appear to be stealing some of their better (chess) players.

Ralph Coates' come back in a Liverpool shirt (and this time with hair) secures an unwelome point for Ben Edgell.

Coates got a point for that performance?! He was terrible. I was hoping he'd drag my team back down towards the target of 0 for the season.

[Greg Breed]

Meant to mention that Greg Breed missed equalling his ECF grade by one point!

Oooh so close. It'll be a little while until i reach my FIDE grade of 1667. If all goes badly it'll be at the end of the season, although i hope to top the 2000 mark this time.... If I remain focused unlike last time when i drifted away after about 5 weeks.

i cant acces league why is this?

I've highlighted the relevant bit. Copy and paste it into the "Join a Private League" option.
Welcome and good luck.

I have started a Chess Fantasy Football League on the Barclays Site here:-

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

The League is called "Premier Chess" and to join you will need to enter the following code 939236-190560

Some simple rules:-

1) Please register under your own name so I know who's playing
2) No multiple registrations just one team per person

I'll arrange a suitable chess prize for the winner at the season's end provided we get ten entrants.

Please could you circulate to any chess players you know. Look forward to seeing you next season!

[Greg Breed]

aha yes sorry about that. It happens whilst at work i just scooted to the first post, clicked quote, did a bit of formatting and failed to actually read any of it. I knew what the post looked like and that was enough!
Beware of following my lead and do not use process in chess. One small difference can mean as much as winning or losing!!
