GregsEggs has PM'd to say he will be in. That is 15 confirmed (6 yet to say, 1 on reserve list).

Any newcomers SHOULD get a slot if they shout (assuming 2 or more of the 6 missing souls don't reappear).

As of tomorrow we will be dropping to 12 hours grace to pick as we have a lot of absentee posters.

[wizardoffire]

sorry chaps... it pains me to say it but I wont be playing telegraph fantasy football this year for the first time in a very long time. The writing has been on the wall for a while, I kept picking teams over the last few seasons but just didn't manage them.
I've loved the fantasy games that the telegraph used to run; both cricket and football and the other mini ones. Playing under my parents names to get around the age thing (not that I won anything, came close in a few mini leagues haha) and looking forward to Wednesday mornings and coming down to breakfast to check my points score in the newspaper.

Good luck to you all, maybe a proper break will do me good and rejuvenate me to return to the demands of TFF. I'll still be playing FPL as that is more manageable for me at the moment.

Thanks for letting us know - some seasons I feel exactly the same re TFF but pre-season rejuvinates me just enough (I usually have the summer off for rejuvination but stupidly played the Euros game this year).

Re the other game, commiserations of your life choices.

That means..... Art Vandelay is definitely IN but we have no more reserves if anyone else doesn't return...

Shout now if you want to play as a newbie.

Excellent.

Raoul can go now (but we have not heard from him of late)
Blah can go from about 11.50 tonight (or when Raoul picks - blah was undecided on playing)
Then a few who were keen so we should be able to rattle through our last picks to check final numbers.

Looks like our reserves might miss out - sorry, wouldn't have expected that, thought some of us would have even been able to have 2 teams!

If you are looking for an interesting side game may I suggest Highlander (survival of the fittest) or the Eggcup Championship (all start with the same team - deadline TOMORROW).
