Sky Sports 2012/13 Fantasy Game Now Open

Filed under: Fantasy Football Games - Posted by: Paul

We may have waved farewell to Euro 2012 just less than a week ago but already Fantasy managers can start to plan for the domestic season ahead, with the news that the official Sky Sports game is now open for business.

The first Fantasy game released for the 2012/13 season, there is £100,000 in prizes to be won in this free-to-enter competition, with a cool £25K handed out to the winner. With Sky quick out the blocks on the back of today’s updated tv fixture list, rival competitions are likely not to be too far behind, forging a sense of anticipation amongst the community as we await the opening of the upcoming Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game.

Already, we’re looking over the Sky game and weighing it up for inclusion amongst our official Scout Leagues – for now, this is just a heads-up but stay tuned…

    SS team . Thoughts please ?

    Freidel

    Kompany | Ivanovic | Hangeland | Dunne

    Noble | Bale | Marin | Nasri

    Petric | Bent

    1. The Parmtree - "It…
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Wouldn't go for Marin or Petric at this stage.

      1. AA
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Yeah,i'll have a look at the pre season and then decide but marin could actually be worth the punt for the first few gameweek's i reckon . If dempsey is off, petric could be a good shout ?

        1. Adz

          I like petric

    Any chance United will sign Rvp? What do you reckon

    1. Declan
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      No chance imo, he wants to win trophies in the next couple of seasons, Chelsea/Citeh/Juve imo

      1. sarnaB-erba
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        United not up for the trophy, is this what u think?

        1. Declan
          • Reputation Level: Scout

          Citeh
          Chelsea
          Utd

          1. The Parmtree - "It…
            • Reputation Level: Scout

            No way.

            United
            Citeh
            Chelski

          2. sarnaB-erba
            • Reputation Level: Scout

            Maybe, but u can't write off United so easily.. Remember Vidic was not there last season.

            1. Declan
              • Reputation Level: Scout

              Not writing Utd off, it'll be close but as the Utd squad stands, I just favour the other 2 to finish higher

    2. Bowstring the Trout
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I thought about it at first, but after signing Powell, and not shifting Berba yet, I just can't see it.

    3. The Parmtree - "It…
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Nope, Juve.

    If anyone spots the football handicap prices when the bookies bring them out I would appreciate you letting me know.
    They're my favourite season long bets and multiples.

  7. Tommytour
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Are the Sky prices similar to FPLs usually? If so why don't we try make a 15 man squad out of them? Could put us in good stead for FPL?

    1. Smurf
      • Reputation Level: Scout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Harte 3.8m, Aguero 9.9m and Arteta 6.2m so not at all similar

      1. Daniel - I am one of You !!…
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        They are similar if u play the percentage game

    2. sarnaB-erba
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      don't think they are similar.

    3. The Parmtree - "It…
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I think he means create a 15 man squad with only £75m.

      1. Daniel - I am one of You !!…
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Agree Parmtree. They are similar.

        So basically if Kun is 9.9/75 than in FPL he is x/100

        1. Daniel - I am one of You !!…
          • Reputation Level: Scout

          That goes 9.9/75 = x/100

        2. The Parmtree - "It…
          • Reputation Level: Scout

          Yep.

          Therefore he's £13m.

      2. Tommytour
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        May give it a go!

      3. In Like Flynn

        I hadn't thought of that. Ignore post below. :(

    4. In Like Flynn
      • Reputation Level: Club Scout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      They should be 75% of FPL, but the different games vary by a lot at times.

      1. In Like Flynn
        • Reputation Level: Club Scout
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

        Error!

  8. Smurf
    • Reputation Level: Scout
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Cech
    Baines / Hangeland / Agger / Harte
    Siggy / Arteta / Nolan
    Aguero / Torres / Bent

    Hows this team look considering Skysports rules?

  9. Demi
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Brazil's Olympic squad:

    Goalkeepers: Rafael, Neto
    Defenders: Alex Sandro, Marcelo, Danilo, Rafael da Silva, B.Uvini, Juan, T.Silva.
    Midfielders: Sandro, Rômulo, Ganso, Lucas, Oscar
    Forwards: Hulk, Damiao, Neymar, Pato.

    Key omissions are Dani Alves and Luiz. Happy for Rafael.

    anyone else thinking this Chelsea DGW has thrown a spanner in some GW1 works? We are likely to captain a Chelsea player for GW1 now, whereas without it most of us would probably have captained Aguero or Silva.

    1. In Like Flynn
      • Reputation Level: Club Scout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I don't see it as a massive bonus as they have no game GW3.

      1. The Parmtree - "It…

        Bench + Trannies?

        • Reputation Level: Scout
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I see your point, but what I'm saying is that you would not likely have captained a Chelsea player in GW1 over Aguero at home to Southampton were it not for their DGW.

    Were bonus points awarded in last years SS game for completed passes made and successful tackles made or is this something new which has been added to the scoring? Thanks.

    1. DonTanTilla
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Something completely new, which is why a lot of the defenders this year are of a higher price.

      Also responding to questons asked peviously about the prices being similar, because the scoring is different to the FPL e.g 4 points for a goal regardless of your position, strikers tend to be more expensive than midfielders.

  13. MarkPrendo
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    De Gea

    Neville Huth Cuellar Fabio

    Fellaini Nolan Mata

    Aguero(C) Torres Rooney

    Nice!

  14. shirtless
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Going to do Sky again, good game nice and simple. Ditching Dream Team though, transfer window thing is a pain, means you get stuck for months with injuries.

    Fabio looks a steal at first glance. And Zabaleta maybe?

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Jan Vertonghen outlines what he feels is his best position for Andre Villas-Boas
