We started one towards the end of last season but this is the first time we'll have a league up and running from the first weekend.

Go to http://fantasy.premierleague.com/
and pick your team - it's all free.

You then have a choice of 2 Word Massive leagues to join. The first one is the classic league where the wheat and chaff are sorted by the total number of points - after putting your team together the code to join the massive is 167136-48081

The second league is a head to head where you go directly against another team each week and get 3 points for a win and a point for a draw. The code for the Head to Head league is 167136-48092

You can, of course, join both leagues or just the 1 .

Any newcomers who are interested but confused, feel free to pm me if I can help out.

There was some discussion about using the league as an opportunity to collect money for charity. On refelction, I think the best thing would be for people to make donations to their own favourite charities should they wish. Perhaps we could persuade Word to give a prize to the winners' charities of either league?
