Fun & Games
Posted by Thomas on 29th July , 2010
Back by popular demand, the Wolves Blog Fantasy Football League is alive and kicking for the 2010/11 season.
Just like last year, we’re hosting the competition on the Fantasy Premier League website here:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com
If you didn’t enter last season, get yourself over there, register with the game and pick your squad. Once you’ve done that, you can then join our league.
The code you’ll need to enter to join the Wolves Blog Fantasy Football League is: 474801-115640
The great thing about this particular game is that you can enter your team into as many leagues as you like, so if you’re already involved with another competition don’t fret, you can also join the Wolves Blog Fantasy League with the same team. You don’t have to create another.
I believe that all players who entered the league last season will be automatically included once they’ve activated their team again for the new season.
We had something like 50 teams involved last year, so it would be great to get even more this time around.
As with last year, I’ll come up some kind of prize for the winner.
Prediction League
As a few people asked for it, I’ll also be running a prediction league for anyone who wants to get involved.
I want to keep it as simple as possible (to begin with at least), so it’s only going to be Wolves scores that are predicted.
As you know, we run a preview prior to every match so all you have to do is leave a comment with your prediction: For example:
My prediction: Wolves 10 – 0 West Bromwich Albion
You get 3 points for predicting the correct score.
You get 1 point for predicting the correct outcome. So if you said Wolves 10-0 Albion but it was only 9-0, you’d get 1 point.
And that’s it. Told you I was keeping it simple! 
As some of you will know, Mark Lawrenson predicts all the Premiership scores every Friday on the BBC website, so just for a bit of fun I’ll be tracking his predictions too and including him in the table.
Again, I’ll come up with some sort of prize for the winner (unless it’s Lawro).
I reckon Ben’s gnome would be a great prize for the prediction league. Unless Dazza wins it, would cost a fortune to ship that thing out to Oz.
Tom, if I get time, I might do a preseason betting blog for you to put up. Basically a summary of Wolves related gambling fun to be had. I did one last year if you remember.

new gnomes in the club shop!
Beat me to it sleachy – this is great news.
So, Wolves 10, the shit 0.
How many will we score in the second half??!!
I asked Ben’s Dad to send me a gnome, but no such luck.
I think a parallel competition should be to see who can kidnap Ben’s gnome, and then takes it’s picture in exotic locations, like Bilston High Street, or the centre circle at Sandwell Town Crem, or the Leaning Tower of Pizza, and if enuff pix are taken, we could then run a spot the gnome competition……..
It’s a slow day today.
FOWB
Thanks for setting up this league.
Yes thanks Thomas – looking forward to new fantasy season now too!
KWOLF… when I win it, it can remain in England even though the best country wins it … a bit like the Ashes
I think if you pick Wolves to lose every game, you would win the title …lol
Daz, good shout, but I could never condone the cremation of the gnome.
With his famously conservative predicted scores, Mark 2 Lawrenson 1 is bound to be the winner. Just cut out the middle-man and send him a gnome right now.
Joined it, already had one with another league so all I had to do was sign up.
A prediction league is also a nice idea, will definitely join in.
Now I can get back to transferring out next weeks top scorer on a weekly basis!
Great blog by the way, here’s hoping for a season avoiding the bottom three.
After the pathetic showing at Leeds , I think I will do as I already said, put us to lose every game..lol.. everyone I have spoke to said Van Damme was awful and Mayoukoulo was atrocious
I don’t think Mouyokolo was playing, he was really good against Cheletenham I heard.
I will enter to defend my title
