If anyone is interested in joining a Premiership Fantasy Football league for the coming season we're looking for people to fill our league on Soccernet's fantasy auction league. Entry fee is 20 sterling, payable by credit card on the site. The "auction league" is fairly unique. It works as follows:


Football, the beautiful game? Not for 99.9% of football managers. For them it's either agony or despair. So we thought we'll have some of that and, wallop, a brand new game for the new Premiership season to make your taste of management even more like the real thing.

In Soccernet Fantasy League Auction only one manager in your league can have Thierry Henry. So while one of you nets Thierry Henry's goals, another lands Harry Kewell's excuses.

It's all decided (yes, you guessed) by our fully automated Online Auction facility as you and your fellow managers bid online to see who lands which players.

That's when it all kicks off, as you discover you all want the same players but, just as in real tapping-up Premiership life, you can't have them. What's bound to follow the acrimony and the abuse won't be beautiful but it sure will be the most addictive season of Fantasy League you've ever experienced.

The webpage is as follows: http://soccernetauction.fantasyleague.com/

Our league code is 9610

Anyone interested in joining will have to be accepted by the Chairman of the league. Once thats done you can register your team name and make your payment 20 GBP. All players will have to be set up by Saturday morning as the online auction for players will start on Saturday afternoon.

If only there was something like this for the Eircom League
