I was already in the Yahoo thing, but just joined this league.

Let me get this straight, as I did not do Yahoo last year. There are only like 100 players to pick from this week, as there are only 3 or 4 fixtures, and there are unlimited substitutions in later weeks, so there is no advantage to buying a player now if he doesn't have a fixture this week? That's pretty dumb.

The problem is that the prices of players rise and drop fairly quickly so if you don't buy a player you are interested in today (even though he may not have a fixture) his price may rise before you switch or the price of the player you buy may drop. The result is the same you are stuck with the lower quality player.

I don't like Yahoo's setup at all. My advice is play the Sporting News' Premiership game. Has more features and you can win cash prizes.

The one thing I noticed is that Sporting News has the amount a player should be worth pretty accurately but yahoo i think just randomly picked numbers for each player. Sami Hyypia is only worth 2 credits on yahoo!!!!

It's not random at all. There is a formula but that would be telling.

Is this league full already? I got the following message:

Errors:
There is a maximum of 50 teams per group.

Sounds like it...

Join our league if you'd like and haven't already.

Division: BigSoccer.com
The Sporting News

We have about 230 teams so far but I don't think there's a limit on this site.
