As usual there will be Cup Competitions run between the teams in the leagues, so be quick and PLEASE don't join more than one league, even if you have multiple teams; it's unfair on others. I will be checking team names and usernames when all of the leagues are full and any teams found to be in more than one league will be removed completely.
You'll notice that these are no longer named "AM" Blog Leagues and the reason for this will be revealed in the coming days. I will say that there is some exciting news on it's way regarding a new partnership for the coming season... please keep checking back!
Cheers,
AM

@kendo - thanks, and likewise. Good to see old faces here as well.
There are still so many questions before the start of the season. Looking forward to it.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
Balotelli looked sharp today as did silva and hart
Guess I am somewhat lucky, ending up in group two, along with our host. Altough I am counting the days before the season starts I must say that I feel a little intiminated. So many, know so much, all of a sudden it feels as if my true place (hopefully not at the bottom) will be revealed for all to see.
Having the support of so many is a blessing. I only hope that I can absorb enough information and watch enough games to somehow "justify" all the babble I post on a daily basis.
Let the games begin!
Well, there goes another one of my early choices. Now Wilshere is a doubt:
Wilshere limps off
Ken, are you sure you're in group to with our host....I'm in group 1 with AM FC.
2
@Ian
Yes, I am in #2 with the first team listed as AM FC. Group manager is listed as Nik A.
Is that what you second comment of (2) means. That you are also in #2?
My team name is Crusher. (from my "American" football leagues).Just one I have always used.
all groups are full ):
Yesss thx u nick.. Can't wait
all groups are full
Hi All,
I'm in group 8.
Sweet! I'm group 9 thanks for making a new group Nik, thought I'd miss out again this season. I have a feeling you need more though. 30 spots nearly taken within a couple of hours lol.
Wohoooo.. Cheersss !!! Group 9
Hooo..... Manage to squeeze into Group 9 !!
Regarding the "link" to (Fantasy Football Scout), in particular the Members part.
Is this something that some/most everyone belongs too?
Is this also part of the AM partnership?
I have a few reasons for asking...
Thanks
Ken - Fantasy Football Scout is nothing to do with the new partnership. I do not belong to the members area either, although I do think the site is absolutely superb.
Thanks Nik...
I would love to continue supporting this blog along with any "partnerships" through donations, but would like to limit my support to just one.
I also feel that such a tool at this point in my education my lead to laziness where I would just find myself "cannibalizing" the ideas of others, which could have me missing out on the best part..personal knowledge of the sport itself.
I have this Blog..what more could I need?
Group 9 full
Hi Nik, u gotta create a few more groups. They r filling up fast! :)
Blog League 10 details now above
Hi Ken,
I'm in group 1, also with AM FC manager Nic A.
So, I guess, every group can aim to beat him, which is good.
My second comment of '2' was because I'd mistakenly wrote 'to'.
Nik's team will naturally be in every group. Since he needs it to be the manager of the group. :P
Unfortunately not. My main team can only be in 5 leagues, which are the private group I'm in with friends + Blog Leagues 1-4.
The Blog Team is on a 2nd Yahoo ID and is in Leagues 5-9.
A blank team is on a 3rd ID for League 10 + any more that get created. Probably a maximum of 12 leagues as the Cup will get out of hand with anymore than 1200 teams
I think ff scout is more geared towards the Barclays league Ken and can be confusing sometimes with substitute choices etc, but is a good source of info.
I find the Guardian pretty accurate with probable lineups, i've made some muck ups in the past relying on yahoo's predicted lineups.

Let's have another great fantasy season!
This is BS, just 4 days haven check in and when i got in today 10 groups were created and all full house already?! Im dissapointed to not able to join last year...n this year too!
AM pls check the groups for whichever team with double entries...
Two more leagues will be opened up tonight at around 9pm UK time. These will be the FINAL LEAGUES, 12 is the absolute maximum we can run or the Cup Competitions will become too difficult to administrate. If you haven't had the chance to join yet make sure you stop by to find the Group ID & Password!
WOW 12 Leagues, 1200 teams this is amazing.
What a lot of lurkers we have!!
Don't be shy!!
I wonder how many of you are waiting for Aguero to become available??
This being my first preseason, I must say that I am very proud to hold a new record......
From my original, just putting players in to start day, I have rebuilt my team a total of 5,436 times and there is still more then a week to go!
You practice & practice then one day it all pays off.
I would like to take this time to thank all the little people that made this great day possible.
Signed 8 x 10 autographs will be made available soon for only $19.95 each and all payments can be made using pay pal...
I must go..my public awaits.
@Ian Sanderson: I'm waiting for him to be available just like everyone else. But silly YFF is not cooperating with us and hasn't inserted his info into the game. Honestly, I doubt he'll be available for the first week.
However, I'm not sure he'd be starting the first game. Has he even joined the team in pre-season?
This is my second season,last year I finished around 20000. But I only found this blog around halfway thru the season.( I was about 40000 when I found before that)But my early team selection was very poor as I was mainly picking players that had done well for me in the official FPL.
I have now got used to the points system / team selection and hope to beat last years finish while competing in blog league 6.
I commented a few times on this page, mainly for help regarding formation/players and have found this page to be a great help.
So thank you and good luck to Nik and everyone else.
COYS
From Matt ? < this was my team last year as I couldn't think of a name.
But this year > Baddow FC <
In the 'official' game, Aguero was added right away, but at 11.0! (The most expensive players there are 12.0) Way too high.
I'm assuming (hoping?), though, that YFF will follow their more generous policy of introducing new players at ~6.xx. So, even if he comes in the game late, it will still be a great pick.
Hi Guys,
I'm one of those lurkers. This is my 3rd season playing YFF. I finished just outside the top 100 last season thanks to this blog. Thanks Nik for all your hard work.
I'll be posting this season and can't wait for it to start. I'm in blog league 2, MUFC_19.
Hey there all,
Returning for the season now.
Current pre-season team:
De Gea
J.Riise/ Luiz*/ Savic*
Taarabt/ Hoilett*/ Downing/ Silva
Carrol/ Torres/ Walters*
* = Players I have an issue with.
Here's the train of thought at the moment:
1. Walters out for Aguero when he comes into the system hopefully sometime soon.
2. Are David Luiz & Savic going to be staple players this season? Savic in particular is certainly at risk of not being played in the first game.
3. Hoilett for Sneijder if a deal is made soon at Manchester United ;) Otherwise I think Hoilett is a good one to go for for the first game of the season @H to Wolves, he's one of the few Blackburn goalscoring threats (subject to change having looked at the recent transfer activity) and would reccomend him for anyone who needs a midfield option on a 8.5ish budget
4. If I could secure Aguero at 6.XX and Sneidjer at 6.XX pre-season it would save 3.XX points and then I could potentially swap Savic out for an established defender and keep an eye-out barndoor if Savic does play.
Rest of the team:
GK & DEF: De Gea being an obvious choice!
Expecting Riise to take over a few duties at Fulham (am I right?) and at home to Villa ain't a bad choice.
MID: Taarabt is a personal favourite from the Championship. With QPR having a winnable @H v Bolton fixture and QPR's spirits being still buoyant from promotion I expect this playmaker to flourish in the first game and his price to rocket. Provided he isn't a PSG player by the time!
Downing's in as one of the highest scoring players last season and that's when he was at Villa, I imagine the possibilities at Liverpool to be greater (but not by too much, I'm not trying to make out that Villa are bad).
Silva is in under the budget influence, he's not the best Yahoo! scorer at times but I expect more from him especially as the first fixture is @H to Premier League newboys Swansea.
FWD: Carrol is in for sure - Carrol swooping in off a Downing delivery is going to be a staple sight this season so both of them make the team with my hoping that they'll be developing an on-pitch relationship.
Torres is a bit of an iffy one, I'm not a great judge of character but to me Torres just doesn't seem to have much conviction as a player even at Liverpool however I think Villas-Boas will be giving him the boost he needs to go out an score from the off so he's in as my most risky choice.
Can't wait for the weeks ahead!
@ Fleeties-good post. Finally some discussion. If your post is any indication of things to come, and I think it is, a lot of our teams are going to look very much alike.
Couple of points. Even when Aquero is listed, even at 6.xx he is not going to be a sure thing. Tevez is stuck with City and will start. Dzecko and crazy Mario are still there, they have 4 strikers. They will probably rotate 3 of them.
Suarez will come in for whoever I end up going with, right now either Carroll or Torres after his 2 game rest-which may be a ruse.
I have De Gea, Riise, Downing, Taarabt, who will be this years Charlie Adam, imho, and Downing. I think 99% of FF teams in the AM leagues will have these guys.
Silva is like Modric, critical to the team, maybe the best player on the field, but a disaster as far as FF pts go. Better off finding a 6.xx new boy that may yield pts. Gervinho would be the answer if he was listed as a midfielder which he is not. Which has me considering starting off with a 3-5-2.
cheers
Joined blog league 11. Made a sacrifice to wake up at 5am APAC time just to ensure I wouldn't miss out the blog league. Let the game begins
I am very happy with my teams progress however my main "sticking" points seem to be defense.
Luiz..rotation problems..or starter?
Kolarov...great match up. Worth the money week one? I feel he would be a great start, as long as City are firm on their starting defenders?
Guess that's it. I am comfortable with my midfield & strikers along with my options I have set aside. It's defense..what direction are some of you leaning towards?

Game on!!! Blog league 7; Bishop Blaize. Wesley S to ManU and another EPL trophy!!!!
Finally! 86th spot in group 12 :)
1 spot open in League 6
Hot off the Press !! - Aguero is in at £6.55m - Snap him up guys !!!!
agree with chris m ageuro may not start, gervinho @ approx same price more likely?
@kendo @chrism
Aguero is an Argentinian national player with a solemn reputation in the footballing world (Diego Maradonna being his father-in-law) - not an absolute guarantee that he'll be starting for sure but my bet is that he does! I will be holding out for team news as it approaches though, can't afford blind faith now!
I'm interested as to where Gervinho fits in at Arsenal, does he play a similar Winger/Forward role, almost Walcott-esque?
@chrism in particular concerning defenders.
I'd be keeping an eye of Jose Enrique's transfer saga.
Dalglish's Liverpool @H to Sunderland in a position where they need to set the pace early to prove to the doubters who think that Liverpool aren't going to be more of a threat this year than they were last year (who I think are a tiny minority really). Priced at 8.XXish.
Having said that O'Shea, whilst injured at the moment, is set to become Sunderland captain ahead of Cattermole - at least I think he is anyway! Also Wes Brown is 3.XXish, not sure how solid his starting position at Sunderland will be though.
Tottenham @H to Everton could also be worth an investigation - if you can guess who's playing! Gallas is still reasonably priced at 7.XXish and Ledley King is actually fit this year is he not? And then there's Kaboul.
Arsenal @A to Newcastle - I'm sorely dissappointed in Newcastle this summer and expect Arsenal to be giving them a wake up call on the first match. Vermaelen, Squillaci, Koscielny & even Djourou remain within the 7.XX-8.XX price bracket. It's up to you who you think will play!
If you end up on a really tight budget I think that Wigan are going to be bearing the cheapest defenders and @H to Norwich could be a decent chance at a clean sheet.
This is based on the fact that I don't really like paying more than 8 or 9 points for my defenders :P
wew, the grup full already >_<
open 1 grup again plz @_@
