The pick and stick game is (as the name says) the 'Ultimate Long Haul'

No transfers as we know, just prepare for the journey of fate and destiny!

Right, ive had a request or 3 to set this up, and i believe there are many with homeless Pick and Stick teams.

Lets get them a good home :D

Details of how to join up:

PIN: 115747

PASSWORD: ulh123



Remember: This league has been set up at very short notice so please feel free to enter your homeless pick and stick teams between now and Kick Off

No limit: bang them in, unlikely we will all get to win a prize of course, only bragging rights and as its now the ONLY Pick and Stick league, somebody will gain the title

FISO PICK AND STICK CHAMPION

:D

Haha ive got quite a few gambles on mine, but calculated ones of course. Could hit it off big time or be just a pebble in the pick and stick ocean (well, pond, only 15,000 entries so far!)

:D

got a couple of gambles spread across my teams, i think with pick n stick you have to take a risk as you cant just sub in the highscoring cheap players, so gotta try and find them from the start.

Got 2 more teams to enter so we'll have 8 teams atleast but i'd like to have a few more people in so that i dont compose over half the league :)

Seems much more winnable than the main comp, but i'm expecting that 15,000 to have doubled by saturday

WNP do you prefer the pick and stick to the main game?

Or have you put a few teams into the main game too?

I'm off travelling in september for a year and half so while i'll be able to get online to check up on things at internet cafes wont have time to research transfers, so figured pick n stick meant i can still play without being disadvantaged :D

Into double figures so far.

Wasnt expecting too many to join up seeing as at yesterday there was only 15,000 pick and sticks entered in THE WHOLE COUNTRY AND BEYOND :lol:

Anyways, dont leave your pick and stick teams without a cardboard box, remember where Tevez came from :wink:

Not many will stand a chance anyway versus my long haul model, but stick your team(s) in anyways!

if the mini does win something how are you sharing the prize out, equally to all or top 5 teams???

Going to enter three or 4 teams.

If the mini league wins anything i will walk bollock naked to the Sun HQ to collect the cheque!

We cant win anything, trust me there will be an unreal amount of MLs geared solely for prize attempts, and our diversity across all teams will get us nuthin :shock:

Never mind, this is merely a league where BRAGGING RIGHTS rise above ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

However, in the very very very e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y remote event of the league winning ££££££££, i will share amongst the top 5. :D
