Drunken League 2018-19 : The Re-Rebirth

[murf]

Brief history -
-The Ledge ran this for many years and it was great. There's a whole archived sub forum on here if you want to check it out. It used to have many leagues and promotion/relegation etc.
- mad dog rebooted it last year with the intention of getting many leagues and got 49 teams in a single league.

I am now taking on the mantle. Was intending to do multiple leagues with last year's top 20 in the Prmeir League etc but I'm running low on time to figure out all the faffage so everybody will be in one league again.

It is a straightforward FREE league where you can each enter one or two teams. No rules or complications above usual TFF rules. Keep them private if you want, don't bother announcing transfers. Just make sure I know who you are by announcing yourself in here or including your FISO username in your team name or whatever.

Please get involved, stick (one or) TWO teams in and contribute to the thread/banter etc.

League PIN 8168030
Passcode 1234
(code will be changed after weekend to prevent late entries/cheating)

(not keeping it hidden for simplicity but if anybody is naughty I'll kick them out)

(usual FISO rules/caveat if we win any money as a league)

[murf]

Quick bump - everybody welcome.

Just 4 of us with 6 teams so far (I've still got to set up my second team so that is 7)

[Spinynorman]

I might be in with a shout of the top three then?

[Jamjack]

I’m in. Thanks Murf

[nffc]

IN

[morganb]

Go on then - won't have enough spare teams for dedicated Drunken teams but have entered TWO To Help make up the numbers - Highland Tinkerman and Jupiter Storm in

[Maldini]

Forgot about this one

Unfortunately, I only have one team with a league space to spare.

American Poet in.

[Spinynorman]

Jupiter Storm and American Poet. I like it.

[murf]

Can't match the team names but have entered my Liverpool block team which scraped top 20 in this last year.

No dedicated Drunken team this year so have thrown my £25 league team in instead (these are my only teams without special superleague rules and as I impose my own Liverpool block rules on one then that, effectively, makes me a single entrant with my £25 team when it come to 'pure' teams )

[Andy2005]

Thanks murf

I've put my THIRD ELEVEN team in to the league just now, to ensure I give you all a head start... good luck everyone!

Quick catch up and there are some good scores in this league, 6 in the top 5k and 11 in the top 10k. Thought my 2 teams were doing OK but only 7th and 14th. Hmmm.....
