Thats all she wrote in the fantasy football, although the writing has been on the wall for some time!

Formidable season by @Nocturama - Like Man City in the turn of the year! Please PM me your bank details and I will send over the winnings!

@SamD nabbed second spot which has been hotly contested. @Alex threw the kitchen sink at it with the bench boost but came up short.

Until next season lads! And anyone else who would like to get involved, get your subscriptions for pre-season research now

[Alex]

@SamD ’s Haaland less team (which has a suspiciously large dose of Haaland recently) should be banned for breaking his own rules

[Steve]

100% agree - He's the Man City of Fantasy, breaking rules to win. (Not a disgruntled Arsenal fans view of course)

[AdamC]

Points deduction review is in progress gentlemen

[SamD]

The tactical Haaland, used only in a fluffer capacity

[Brian]

Now where’s my wooden spoon

I got really busy with work halfway through forgot my login credentials and couldn’t ever recover the login
Pleased to have been a part of it though and will make a more concerted effort next season that’s for sure

[Nocturama]

Thanks! I’ll PM bank details @AdamC so that you can temporarily send over the winnings before I return them to their spiritual home in Gosport some time very soon!

I certainly reaped the benefits of paying more attention to the EPL this season due to Luton Town being in it for the first time!
This is sadly not the case next season . In fact, I just looked back at my historical placings, and seen that I have been outside the top 1 million FF teams as often as inside over the last 8 seasons, so a United-esque fall from grace is definitely on the cards (if not quite a Luton-esque relegation)!

[AdamC]

Afternoon all! That time of year again to start mulling over those teams, do you search for the gem coming up from the Championship, or the tried and tested in the hope it wasnt a one season wonder?

Iron Heart League will be active for its 3rd season. There are some rule changes in the game so be sure to read up. This season it will be £15 to enter, £10 towards the league and £5 towards the cup which happens towards the end of the season. Top 3 will win something in the league likely money back 3rd but will sort when we know whos in. Cup will be winner takes all.

Let me know if you are keen. If you were in last season you will just need to create your team and will automatically be added to the league, if you do not want to participate then please just leave the league. Newcomers very much welcome!

@Nocturama will you be returning to defend your crown?

@Nocturama will you be returning to defend your crown?

Yes indeed, with the sole intention of ensuring that neither a Gooner nor a Manc (red or blue) wins!

That should be enough to get the trash talking started…

[Steve]

@Nocturama I think this season a Gooner will win Fantasy and the Gooners will win the league

[AdamJ]

No Luton players in it this year to distract me

[AdamC]

I sadly think Arsenal will win the league, by league I definitely DO NOT mean this one

[Tago Mago]

I am relatively clueless about Premier League football and have the major disadvantage of blind faith in my teams (Newcastle, plus England and Mönchengladbach in case you were wondering), but I'm game. Someone just needs to explain the rules to me

[AdamC]

@Tago-Mago good man, we can talk you through it when we see you next week

[Tago Mago]

@AdamC I love it when a plan comes together

[Steve]

@AdamC Don't be sad, it will be great when they win. I think you know a gooner is gonna win fanatsy this year - especially as I will be taking zero notice of AJ's tips this season

[Nocturama]

Yeah - and I think I can still fit in size 34 jeans! 🫨
