Van Gaal is way crazy. It's a shame that Bielsa doesn't want to come to England, because the pre-match banter and the matches themselves would be phenomenal.


I really hope that Man United and Millwall meet at some time. Louis van Gaal vs Ollie.


Stuart Pearce and Magath are some good shouts too.

The Chelsea-United press conferences will definitely be something.

So, the official Fantasy League has gone live for the PL as of yesterday.

We're having a league again I assume? Is there somebody that usually does it? Or should I do the honours?

With regards to van Gaal, rumour has it that he once dropped his pants in the Bayern cabin to show his players that he had something they lacked - balls.

So it's probably not the journalists that should be afraid.

Right, went ahead and made the NSG league.
You all know where to go.

Code for the league is: 92842-33830

AVB Soundsystem eagerly invites you to bring it.

Demba Ba has transfered to Besiktas for about £5m. Probably a good move for him - he was wasted at Chelsea, and let's be honest. Who wouldn't want to play for Slaven Bilic?

In for both. Have to defend my Predict The Premiership Title.

Is there no way to reactivate last years Fantasy League? Not that I mind much.

Will likely completely change my team soon, but not sure who to really put in.

They haven't yet updated the recent transfers, so I'll hold off and fill out my roster in a couple weeks

Transfers are unlimited until the actual kick off, so I have my full squad but will likely tinker between now and the first saturday.

Philipp Lahm has retired from international football at the age of 30. I forget how young he was when he started his rise. I assume Schweinsteiger will get the captain's armband now?

As ever, self imposed rules: No two players from the same team in the same 'line' of the squad. No selecting cheap 4.0 'bench fodder'. No Arsenal players. Ever.

Predict The Premiership still has the league - it evidently resets each season rather than needing a new one.

The league name is NS Football Predictions, code number 66452

If you played last year, would you mind posting something in the messageboard there saying you're active this year, so that we can see which of the members aren't going to be around this year? Also, might be nice to post your NSG username if your username there is different, so we can keep track better.

edit2: looks like old.predictthepremiership .com no longer works :(

Given my OCD, I had issues only getting 5 defenders; I'd at least want one back up CB and FB. So in that case, I'm not so sure about my central defense. But I've only half a million pounds left :P
Should have bought a cheaper backup keeper. Maybe I could have afforded Yaya then :P
But if this was an RL team, my striker duo would be kicking major ass.

I don't know man, FCYid is pretty strong this time around. My back four and midfield are pretty insane. Lloris for captain is bound to earn me something.
