Spofi Fantasy EPL Barclay's Premiership launches Saturday the 11th.: So, interested parties have one more week to join. Also, wondering about the identities of several people that have joined (see inside)...
Sir Marvin Duku, is this some wierd mashup of Count Duku and Marvin the Martian?

C'mon, guys, please change your manager name and/or team name to include some recognizable part (or better still, ALL) of your spofi nickname.

Seriously. Anonymity is way over-rated. As for the league itself, it feels to me like the season started a week ago, as I've been making daily transfers according to the playthegame player news.

Damn all these bleeding pre-season friendlies. I've already had more players injured in pre-season than I did in the entire 2005/06 EPL campaign.

Alright, I joined up: Afx Argonauts. I reeeally don't follow football as much as I used to, and most of the players on offer were a total mystery to me. But I'll give it a go. (Got my excuses in early.)

btw, anyone figure out how to access the watchlist? I keep adding players to the watchlist but can't figure out where the damn thing is.

It is one of the selections under the transfers menu - you can list the leaders or your watch list or players at a position etc. It is the second choice of the filters. Still no ID for chelsea blue starsSC - moyo yovedihno, Special Ones - Daniel Charest, TDSL Academy FC - Sir Marvin Duku, Blues - harun mese or the new one downunda victory - mick panettieri. I guess I will boot them if it isn't apparent that they are spofites.

Ta, gspm. I never would've figured that out. I was clicking through the different views looking for some link that said Watch List. Never occurred to me it would be in the dropdown.

I may as well give up now.

Currently suspended from the league for lack of proof of Sportsfilter connection: Special Ones (Daniel Charest) TDSL Academy FC (Sir Marvin Duku) Blues (harun mese) downunda victory (mick panettieri) If they identify themselves in one of the EPL pool discussion threads then that can be easily rectified. (Additionally, this administrative move give those of of at the bottom of the table a chance to move four spots up without doing anything, hurrah!)

Also, FC_Philadelphia (Curtis Hullstrung) chelsea blue starsSC (moyo yovedihno) I hope Rooney is truly injured, because I quickly took a transfer penalty hit to dump him.

League is not accepting new entries Can little ricky come over and play?

Since this is a Spofi pool it would be NICE to know the Spofi usernames of several people in the pool - otherwise, as administrator, I can boot them out to keep the purity of the Spofi-ness. The following is a list of team/managers that I have not made an obvious link to a Spofite. Can I get a hand here? Only because the in-season discussion action has revolved around Spofi lockerroom posts rather than the pool forum on the EPL website. And I've been pretty good in the past about linking up entrants with their Spofi usernames... chelsea blue starsSC - moyo yovedihno Special Ones - Daniel Charest TDSL Academy FC - Sir Marvin Duku SpoFi Spurs - r8r h8r Blues - harun mese
