Count me in.
Edit - Have tried to pay for an entry but payment link doesn't seem to work. Nothing happens when I click 'Buy Now'.

Indigo, I’m sure Tony will answer this query later on.
It’s a great little fantasy game and even though the window for joining is always just over a week, we usually get 30 to 50 players. Hope lots more people join.

Having the same problems as IndigoLake, when I click on the "Buy Now" link nothing loads up and I stay on the article page.

No idea what the problem was but wondered why there'd been no interest.
Hopefully will work now.

No idea what had happened but just re-added the code and it worked.

The rules make this one more fun in a short space of time. I never remember the rules though so I’m as bad as the usual fantasy game.

Great numbers so far. Don’t forget, half of what you pay to enter is going to such a good cause, The Youth Foundation!

The last thing I want is to be watching a World Cup game hoping for a 0-0 so defenders get points.
I'll donate, just won't participate.

In my haste I just put the cheesy Proudsville thinking I'll amend it later. Mmm, can't find anywhere to amend the team name like you can in the Premier League game

Tony - I have a hatred of paypal so I have just transferred £10 to the youth foundation account so I am in.
I will last about as long as England!

I'm well up for this. Just a heads up regarding the rules: you can make subs after a match day so if one of your first XI does badly you can sub them out for someone playing the next day. Makes sense to have some decent players on the bench then.

Get entered.
It will be a great way of watching your team when England are on their way home.
It is the cost of 3 pints.

I did read this rule and thought I was wrong. Seems a ludicrous rule and no idea why they always seem to over complicate things like this. But still entered all the same. With a **** bench too!
