TFG Fantasy Football Mini-League ?

The Friendly Golfer · **Joined:** Sat Jun 28, 2008 8:21 pm **Posts:** 1120

Last year we used the free to play Daily Mail game, we only had a few entrants and it kind of died a death towards the end of the season (I think Toffeelover won it).

So, with the new season fast approaching should we run another Mini League and if so with which game

Q1. Do you want to play in a TFG FF game

Q2. Which game

A/ Daily Mail (Free to play)
B/ FPL (Free to play)
C/ The Sun (Pay to play)
D/ The Telegraph (Pay to play)
E/ OFL Auction game (Pay to play)

My preference if we can get at least 8 to play would be FPL, although the OFL Auction game could be fun ???

Hi AK

All you mention are good options but I found as a really friendly game to play the Channel 4 one was ultimately the best. Reasons
- Each month is a separate comp so if you miss out then all is not lost
- You change your team each month in the window if you want so that if you pick duffers it is not the end
- There is a BEST 3 Months comp that we could use as our ever changing league table
- Free to enter and not many entries so an outside chance of winning a prize (I had a couple of top 10's and finished top 100 for best 3 months when IO only starting doing it come December!)

I would be happy to support the monthly comp with pack £10 to spend at JJB sport for each month winner - could be a glove or balls in each case.

What do you think???

Happy to join in, assuming Man City have not bought the majority of the league players by August!

What about the official premier league game?

Have played this for the last two seasons, top fantasy football game

Lister, a belated congrats for winning TFG Fantasy Football last season.

Unsurprisingly I also played the Daily Mail game last season (1,490 points), you guys obviously have an in depth football knowledge as well

I broke 2000 on the final day - there was thread on FISO covering the final 3 weeks on how I got there. I think it was a last minute goal from Kenwynne Jones that got me over the line (approx. 21,000th)

Maybe Paddy will set up a League

Anyway, I might run to a Trophy or two - maybe even a couple of Wooden Spoons too 8-)

'If you build it, they will come'

Maybe not very many though

Any chance of a tip or two for us FPL virgins from you semi-pros who've done this for the last 3 years???

I don't mean players, but what is the weekly strategy/top tips for managing your teams?
