The Millstreet League

The Premier League starts tomorrow Saturday 18th August (yes it is three months since the league finished!), and this year for the first time we thought we’d run a Fantasy Football League for those from Millstreet, or anyone who comes to visit Millstreet.ie. We don’t have a prize for the winner (unless someone donates one), but you’ll have boasting rights over all your friends, in fact over everyone else  in the league too, but above all it’s good competitive fun.

We’ve called it ‘The Millstreet League’ and once you have a team setup on fantasy.premierleague.com, you can join the league using the code 1526914-342110 … and it’s totally FREE!

For many, Fantasy Football is a very serious business with hours spent pouring over clean sheet statistics and it is common to hear desperate calls in pubs across the UK of “Who got the assist?” after a goal was scored.

The obsession also translates into cash for those that run the Fantasy games. The industry is estimated to be worth £3billion and the Premier League’s official game attracted over two million individual players in 2011/2012. – 101 Great Goals

That’s about the height of it, so if you haven’t already done so, get over to fantasy.premierleague.com, create your team (easier to just press auto-complete and come back to it later) and enter The Millstreet League.

A day’s notice isn’t much so we’ve decided to start the league on week two, that way it will give a chance to more players to join, and will allow you to see how the footballers are faring. The incredibly strict deadline for entries for week two is Saturday, 25th August at 11:30am.

Good Luck … you’ll need it 😉
