PESgaming TFF Season 2011/12

[Michu]

Good evening my esteemed colleagues,

I'm canvassing (very) early for interest in a 2011/12 season Telegraph points based PESgaming fantasy football competition.

I'm undecided on the best way to organise it due to people's personal finances, so heres the options

1. I setup a league in August on the Telegraph website, I give you the League Pin and you register and enter your team into that league. Updates available as you want them. I would provide a monthly league table update in the thread.

2. I use the system I have at work. I use the Telegraph pricing and points but run my own spreadsheet. Basically, you pick your team, send it to me and I run it all through excel (including transfers) and post updates weekly on the thread.

Whatever option gets the majority nod I will lay on a prize for the winner and runner up.

This would/will be completely at my own expense and free time so if you're going to give me some stick - make it imaginative ;)

Entry would be completely free for option 2 as no Telegraph reg would be required.

Prizes

Winner: A Blu-Ray (or DVD) of the Winners choice (but not exceeding £25 in price) and a bag of Peanut/Chocolate MM's.

Runner Up: CD or Book of Runners Up choice (but not exceeding £10 in price).

Thoughts?

Yeah, I'm game for that.

Providing it's free to enter of course...

:laugh:

So you did read the entire opening post then eh Matt??

Thoughts on it?

Bloody ace. However updating with Excel every week, sometimes several times a week is just too much for you to handle surely? And for an entire season?

I'd be more than willing to take part but it's likely I'll be travelling on and off this next year+, so helping with the details would be pretty impossible. I am happy to help toward the prizes though to be honest.

Anything for those peanut/chocolate M&Ms I suppose :D

Oh, and here is the "stick" you requested.... or rather.... stick insect.

Actually its alot easier than you'd imagine, I've been running a work competition for the last 3 years, all the work is done by the vlookups and a macro on Excel, all I do is copy the data and Excel literally does everything else.

Don't worry about helping with the prizes chap, although it is appreciated, save you're cash bud :D

I work full time so its not as if this will really cost me much.

This may well become my Avatar in time ;)

I'd be interested. I've used excel spreadsheets in the past to run fantasy football games at work and it is pretty straightforward. I've not been properly involved in one for a while now so it would be good to get back into it.

Cheers Mike, I'll send you the template spreadsheet nearer the time. I'm happy to be the main admin but any help is appreciated - especially in terms of logging transfers. I currently run an update after every round of fixtures at work, I'll probably stream that to once a week though on here.
