The new season is nearly upon us, so it's time for the RedCafe Fantasy League 2013/14 to get going. I'll be taking over the league from this season and this time a new league will be set up, so you will NOT be automatically entered into the RedCafe league if you took part last season, everyone looking to take part this season will need the new code sent over to them.

Over previous seasons it has been compulsory to have your RedCafe username in your team name or manager name, this season will be the same, but to make it easier manage I would like to recommend the following. Upon registering this season you are prompted to update your details and are given the option to change your first & last name, use the following layout:

First Name: RedCafe Username (ie. gaz1185)
Last Name: - RedCafe
Click to expand...


This will show my username on FPL as gaz1185 - RedCafe. This way you are welcome to have your team name as anything you would like. If you prefer to just use your RedCafe username as the team name, that is still a option.

So please state your team name and username in this thread or send me a PM including those details and I'll get the code sent back to you.

Any questions just ask... and good luck!

Could I please have the code to enter?

My team: Bayer Neverlosin'
Username: M'n'M
 
Can I have a code please? I don't really want to change my name as I am in a few other leagues and they will say "who the feck is this James Redcafe fellow"?

My team is called Jim's Duffers so my username is in there.

I will probably have an all Chelsea/ex-Chelsea squad, same as last year.
 
Sent the code over to you both.

And that's fine Duffer, your username is in the team name so it's all good!
 
Last season I managed to get an entire squad of Chelsea and Ex-Chelsea players. Unless Turnbull, Hilario or another Ex-goalie of our rocks up somewhere in the prem I can't do it.

At the moment I have Rooney in as my captain. Once he moves to us I'll have 4 current Chelsea guys.

I'm trying to figure out how I can have RvP, Bale & Carzorla in my squad, everyone else will have to be £4-5M players!

I'm not sure why you would want to.

What do you think your first choice back four will look like?

Do you need the FLP code PMd to you Stu?

We're having to pay much more than last year for some players, like RvP, Bale, Carzorla, Benteke etc, they should increase the budget a bit :(

Yeah I feel some prices have got out of control this season, it's a bit hard to get more than 3/4 high quality players without having to make sacrifices elsewhere in the team.
 
Can't figure out how to PM anymore.

So Team name is Canuckred64 and my user name is the same.

It's gonna depend on who we send out on loan really as to whether this is at all possible.

At the moment the only ex Chelsea players I can have are:
Goalies: none
Defenders:Huth and Glen Johnson.
Midfield: Duff, Sinclair, Cork, Parker, Sidwell, Joe Cole.
Forwards: Sturridge, Borini, Anelka.

I'm sorted for midfield and forward.

Sorry I meant Chelsea's back four. Will Ivanovic or Azpilicueta get right back? Cahill/Terry/Luiz CB?
 
Mourniho has said he sees Ivanovic as a right back (rather than a centre back). I'd imagine it will be Terry + Cahill or Luiz for the big games. Impossible to say which yet, Luiz is not back from his hols yet so has not played in any of our friendlies.

Jose has also said that Kalas will be part of our first team this season. He's played in all our friendlies at centre back but can also cover at right back.
 
I will probably sort my team out this weekend in the hope of retaining my crown!

Had a quick look earlier though and it does seem like the established players are a bit more expensive compared to before, which means I will probably have to change my strategy this year.

E.g. No RVP.
 
I'm not actually going to enter this league as I can't be arsed managing two teams. Already have a team set up in a mates league and don't want that team name as my username here.

However, I will pop in here and use the league as a bit of a benchmark. Seeing as I won't be in direct competition with you guys, I reckon I can disclose my team:

Mignolet

Nastasic
Ferdinand
Terry

Lucas (my only real dud)
Santi Cazorla
Lampard
Coutinho

Van Persie
Bony
Deulofeu

Subs: Boruc, Clyne, Garrido, Colback
