JANUARY TO MAY LEAGUE
My January to May League (league code 5v12bh) will start scoring in Gameweek 21, which is when the Second Wildcard becomes available. This mini-league has been running with occasional variations since 2015/16 when it superseded TorresMagic’s January Wildcard League, and is thus much older than FPL’s similar Second Chance mini-league which only started last season. Over 600 teams are already waiting for it to start.
