Fantasy League Fever

Are you a football fan?  The proper football, not the one that play with a helmet.  If so, you have probably heard of the Fantasy Premier League.  This is the one by the Premier League, and not the Singtel or the ESPN one.
You have $100M at the beginning of the season, to select a squad of 15 players.  In your team, there will be be 2 goal keepers, 5 defenders, 5 mid fielders and 3 forwards.  Each of the player comes with a price tag, and of course, the big names will be expensive. For eg.  Rooney cost $13M, while some forwards cost $7M.   The objective of the game is to score as many points as possible, and the scoring is based on the real time game week.  For eg.  If Rooney score a goal, it will be 4 points, and a midfielder score a goal, he will earn 5 points. Defenders are based on whether they keep a clean sheet, and if they score a goal, they earn 6 points.

The fun part of it is the competition.  If you win the global league, which has about 2.5M players, you get to win a trip to UK to watch a game.  You can also set up your own mini league with your friends, and compete. 

I am competing in this league in my office, and is really getting exciting as we go into the last 4 games of the season!
