Any sign of the sky bet championship game on the horizon ?

Any sign of the sky bet championship game on the horizon ?

Site still down would imagine with less than 2 weeks to the start it's not going to happen. Maybe they could not find a sponsor this year?

It was late last year probably due to the change of sponsor.

[Jack72]

Still not up !!

[Fantasist]

I've been looking for this too, as have enjoyed it over the last few years. It's still a dead link so also fear the worst now, which is a big shame for those of us not supporting Premier League teams.

Yesterday I finally got a reply from them as I went via the football leagues website and here's a cut and paste of it:

Noel,



Thank you for your email.



The League are currently finalising the last few stages of a new Fantasy Football game and hope to launch early next week.



Thank you for your patience.



Kind Regards

I replied saying the Championship starts next Friday (as I am sure there well aware of) so don't give much time for recruiting people to a private mini league does it but I do eagerly await to see what their NEW game is like....

[Latic]

Nice one.

Didn't think it was going to happen. Unexpected, out of the blue even!

[Maldini]

Excellent!

I'd given up on this as well.

[Fantasist]

Nice one, will wait to see what happens and scramble around to get a team in it. Thanks Noel

I found the game - not officially linked to league site yet, but launching this week. Run by chroma (formerly silentmanager), and including players across all the leagues. (Silentmanager do get a bad press on here - though not always their own fault, as prizes haven't been delivered in the past, that usually being the fault of the sponsors, which shouldn't be a problem this time around). Link -

Bad news however - prize is only two tickets to one of the finals, with monthly prize of a football. Both followed by exclamation marks, to show how generous they are. A reminder that just two seasons ago the prize for this (equivalent) competition was £10,000. So it goes. Still, good luck to those who just want to play a game for fun.

Cheers for this Quizking.

Shame the prizes keep going downhill, I was in contention 2 years ago and remember it being for 10k! It was phones 4 u sponsored I believe.

Have you found any silent manager games for the prem at all?

[quizking]

Not yet (apart from the game template, and player prices were ready about a month ago); they are probably busy getting sponsors on board, plus working on games that launch earlier in other markets, belgium for example. There's a premier prediction game already, but it's trade specific, not for general public.

Edit - just remembered, the matchoftheday magazine game is up, don't have a link but google should provide. Prize for dads is only £500 though.

Gutted I was hoping for a Championship specific game.

Don't play the motd magazine game, bunch of jokers that run it !! Couldn't run a drinking session in a brewery ... Clowns !!

[bluelionman]

Gutted 'quizking' is indeed correct - the game is now live and incorporates the Championship, League 1 and League 2.

It's now live and linked to the Football leagues website:

I however will be swerving it. #Gutted!

[Latic]

Will play for fun. Silent Manager taken over / re-invented as Chroma will probably continue to be a nightmare but hey ho.

[Latic]

Started a mini-league:


Name: FISO.co.uk
Passsword: 123

[jimmy ching]

Can we limit our choices to just the Championship for our league?

[Latic]

Good idea, hard to enforce. What does anyone else reckon?

[jimmy ching]

Just tried on my team. Can be done easily if you click on Championship players before each pick. I've entered a team Madmass.

[jimmy ching]

Any good tips for players in this league?

Just spotted a steal for a goalie. Silvestri Leeds @ 3.5. They have Kenny @ 5.5. It looks like Stuart Taylor 3.5 is 2nd choice and Kenny third.

[jimmy ching]

I know this maybe a stupid question but how do you move players from the bench in to your team. It just seems to want to transfer players out.

I asked and this was the reply I got

"Hi there, You cant make substitutes until you team is submitted, all teams will be submitted on 18:01 UK Time on 08th August 2014, for more information please refer to the rules. Kind RegardsSupport Team "

What's the vibe on the superleague, championship only or all leagues?

[Giggs11]

I'm playing this with some mates but no nowt about the leagues. Does anyone know of somewhere I could swot up on some of the better players? Thanks

[Mercer]

I have joined the league and waiting to be accepted. Thanks and good luck all

[kevchenko]

Ditto, let us know when a decision has been made re limiting to Championship or not?

[Latic]

All pending teams accepted.


As for Champ only teams. I am disappointed it's not a champ only game too but then again I'm happy to embrace these new rules. Not a clue about Leagues 1 & 2 really but this game might expand my interest somewhat which appeals to me.

I would suggest that we have two leagues. The initial one I set up could be for the game rules and another could be set up for Champ only teams (someone would need to do this as I can't).

Thoughts? The game starts on Friday.

[frattonender]

I have put a team in
mixture of divisions though

[Latic]

Bump. Entry deadline for first games is 18:00 BST tomorrow.

[jimmy ching]

I'm sticking with a championship side because too many players will spoil the broth for me. But if FISO end up with a chance of the League of leagues, I'll shelve my principles. Starting with a Championship side first though.
