The return of The Football Blog Fantasy League

With the World Cup over, the Fantasy Premier League has returned to draw our thoughts towards the new Premiership season. There can’t be many football fans who haven’t tried their hand at the game in the past few seasons, but if you haven’t now is the perfect time to get up and running. Get ready for nine months of stat checking, weekly injury news appraisal and an unhealthy procrastination over make believe transfers.

Of course, there is still a little way to go before the new season gets underway and there is plenty of scope for pre-season injuries, transfers and upheaval, so you probably won’t be looking to settle on your squad just yet. However, if you want to steal a march on your friends and rivals then head over to the official site and see whose stock has risen and whose has fallen after last season, and what your £100 million can buy you.

If you are looking for an early guide to who should be looking to bring into your side, head over to the excellent and fantasy football obsessed Never Captain Nicky Butt who have all the latest hints and tips, as well as a neat summary of the new game rules. Above all, make sure you enter The Football Blog league by entering code 20959-7984 and pitting your managerial wits against other readers.
