The MacRumors Fantasy Football League 2014-15

The Toads thank Austin and Guzan.

So disappointing to set up your WC team for the dgw just to see two of your new guys getting flagged the minute after deadline. :/ And both teams getting clean sheets as well, goes without saying.

Anyway, Jaffa, I'm still gettin' you! FantasyManager: good flukin'!

Ha, yeah, I was aboard the Remy bandwagon a few weeks ago - DGW in mind - no mention of injury, never played a minute.

Big review at the Toads in the close season; my other team are currently 203 points ahead - Manchester United bias squishing the Toads? Operation 'Target iToys' next term.

Cheers,
OW

No chance, OW. Maybe next season, if I'm playing.


Dortmund just released a statement btw that Gündogan won't sign a new contract. Will be seen if he leaves now or 'for free' next year.

I'll reply in the football thread.

Pleased to see that the iToys still have a possible shot at both our titles.

Unlikely but we'll see. Having a cold beer either way.

Commiserations twietee, congratulations Fizzy's Flyers and Football Manager.

Will there be a league next season?

Cheers,
OW

Thanks!

My luck though! I wait years for the opportunity to get a blue & white Jaffatar and when the chance arises, the great man is gone

The shirts certainly added to the fun. I could have a bash but it wouldn't be worthy of space on a fridge.

Anyone heard from Jaffa Cake?

Cheers,
OW

Congrats to Fizzy and our Fantasy Manager!








Just noticed I lost the Cup by 5pts...

Nope. Hope he's ok! Can't imagine Jaffa getting banned at MR.

Next season, dunno. This certainly wasn't nearly as fun as last times but maybe I'm on board again.

Top 25 in Germany this year, so maybe I should leave when on top.

I did ask him if he'd fallen out with MR. Here's his reply:

Nope, not fallen out or anything - the old chestnut of real life getting in the way! Having a very busy year so far work wise...

Couldn't join in time this season but will there be another league in August?

I missed the cut off for joining this season - and just checking back in to see what plans are afoot for a MacRumors FPL in 2015/16.

How did the re-jigged format pan out? Hopefully the straight head-to-head league was as much fun as the head-to-head/top 8 play-off format. If not, will we see a return to the old format?

I'll keep checking in for latest developments - and hope to see you all at the start of next season!

Well, the Head-to-Head league worked out quite well for me

It did.

I missed the title by 5 meager points in the last GW.

Posting so I can get this thread in my Watched list. This new Xenforo has really screwed up my MR browsing habits. Hope you're all having a good offseason. Looking forward to early August!

I keep checking back - hoping the 2015/16 Macrumors Fantasy Premier League is open for entrants. Disappointed to find it's not, and note Jaffa's initiating post for last season went out July 16th - so I'm getting twitchy!

Fairly sure the official fantasy premier league site is now open for business, but gather Jaffa might not kick it off this time around. Is anyone in a position to check his stance - and any thoughts on the next move if he doesn't want to be the linchpin this year?

I missed the cut off to join in last time, but would vote for a return to the 2013/14 format of 'head-to-head' followed by a knockout between the top 8 teams over the final three weeks of the season. I'd favour this format as it has the potential to keeps more teams in the hunt, therefore interested, for longer.

Fingers crossed I'm not alone!

i've reached out to him.

been in touch with him. he has been really busy but will try to get it up and running within the next week.

Any chance of someone setting up a new league if Jaffa doesn't reply?

yeah. not that hard. i'll shout at him and ask if i shouldn't do just that.
