It's that time of year, so get yourself over to the website and get your teams registered now! It's free to play!

If you don't know your football, the system will even select a random team for you if you let it. I'd actually recommend that for now, you can make unlimited changes to your team before the season kicks off and I'm sure there's lots of transfer action still to come. Manchester City are looking to replace at least 35 members of their squad over the next few weeks. (I wrote that last year, and yet still it applies.)
I have NOT renewed the NTSC-UK league this year. If you want to enter, go to the site above and create your team, then post your team name in this thread. I'll then PM you the code to join the league. This needs to be done so we actually know who everyone is, because there's always teams that appear and nobody has a clue who they belong to. This way, everyone should be identifiable. Every team name that shows up in the league without a post here will be kicked out, assuming I have that power!
If anyone needs any help getting started or with the basics, post here or PM me and I or others will be happy to help you out. Don't let a lack of knowledge of football put you off, it's as much a numbers/statistics game as a football one, and the website is excellent for letting you see a player's form, how well they've been doing, etc, without having to watch Match of the Day!
For people that have been playing for a while, the rules are the same this year as last year, there's nothing new to worry about. If you're new, do have a gander at the rules first, particularly about wildcards and captains, as they're often the difference between a good week and an amazing one.
Now, go, get those teams created, and remember, picking Fernando Torres is a terrible idea. He may be popular but his only input into the World Cup was to fall over in one match and then injure himself in another. (I wrote that last year as well, how good am I?)
