Advantages: quick and easy to set up, once set up - doesnt consume any time in running your teams, can chose upto 5 teams

Disadvantages: slow in updating points, doesnt seem to have many prizes

I suppose it is like many other fantasy football websites.

Its free to sign up, you have about £75 million to spend on players. Choosing the players is pretty straight forward. You select the club from which the player you would like in your squad. The costs of players are next to their names. You have to make up a full squad along with substitutes, so you end up going around each club and finding the cheapest player in that position (a player that probably will never feature in the premiership).

You can choose upto 5 different teams and keeps tabs on all of them.

The season is split up into 5 terms, so whoever finishes top after each term will earn themself a brand new Playstation 2. The web sites does say that other prices will be available to the next few runners-up. Splitting the season is up is a good idea if you are stuck at the bottom after a few weeks, or you didn't sign up before the season started.

As an added fun there's a sub-league consisting of 16 teams. You don't win any prizes for finishing top, it's purely for extra entertainment.

Once you have chosen your squad and the new term has kicked off, you can't replace the player (if for example the player has been injured of left the premiership). Unless you 'buy' a transfer, which will cost you real money, £5 for one player.

The season is well underway now, and the web site is alittle slow in updating the points. A nice feature that could've been added to the site is that it should show how many points a player in y9our squad has achieved, rather than having to go through each club and look it up manually.

The home page would show which player has earned the most points and the manager of the week.

Points are earned/deducted for goals scored/consided as well as how much of the games a player takes part in.

It's not bad fun, doesn't consume any time, apart from when picking a squad. Bu
t once that is done, just sit back and check how your team is doing whenever you feel like it.
