Rotoworld PL Cup: Rotoworld Fantasy Leagues

The Premier League team here at Rotoworld.com loves engaging with our audience through the fantasy game groups that we manage on various fantasy game platforms. What we love even more is that the proliferation of fantasy game platforms over the past few years means that there are more and more opportunities to do so. It used to be that we’d crank out a public league at PL.com and one at Yahoo and that was about all we needed to do until it was time for Nik to run the Blog Cup. Now, with Togga and Fantrax out there in addition to the PL.com site and both newer sites offering both salary cap and draft games there are lots of options. We want to make sure that you know about them and how to get the most out of them. Here are the list of places that we’re sponsoring leagues across the interwebs and mobile apps:

Fantrax Salary Cap

The scoring system for this one is similar to what was available in the old Yahoo game in that it is an “advanced” scoring system. That means credit for things like chances created, tackles won and saves in addition to the traditional PL.com counting stats (goals, assists and clean sheets). The web-based interface is new and improved from last season. To play with the Rotoworld.com team, click here and then use the following:

League ID: 523o1cupirdnf2y6

League Password: Rotoworld

Andrew Gastelum will be writing about Fantrax leagues – both the salary cap and draft flavors – throughout the season so if you do well here, you’ll have every chance of seeing your name on the site.

Fantrax Draft

We love draft leagues and the fact that they are becoming more and more prominent in the Premier League universe. What we do realize is that it isn’t incredibly easy to get 8 to 12 friends interested in a 9 month fantasy league together as the format is still somewhat new to Premier League fans who don’t live in the US. In an effort to help people get involved in draft leagues if they don’t have a full league of friends to bring to the table, Fantrax has a “Draft Lobby” that allows you to join a draft league with people like you who are interested in the concept but don’t have the numbers necessary to create their own by themselves. The team at Fantrax was great and started up the process by setting up a league for us using the same scoring system as the Salary Cap league. You can find that league here – just look for League Name = Rotoworld Draft League. If that one fills up, we’ll post more. If you want to join and don’t see league labled “Rotoworld Draft League” hit us up on Twitter and we’ll ask the Fantrax team for more.

Togga Perfect XI

The Togga Perfect XI web interface isn’t ready yet but it is up and running with a new Rotoworld-related wrinkle on their spectacular mobile app. The new wrinkle is that we have a featured group that pins our experts to the top of the group and allows you to easily see how you’re doing against the team here at Rotoworld each week and overall for the season. Nik, Rob Allen and I all finished in the Top 50 overall for the season in Perfect XI last year so you all have your work cut out for you finishing ahead of us this year. Download the app on iOS or Android devices and then join the Rotoworld.com league.

As a bonus, our old friend Nik is back this season to write about Perfect XI and participate in the game. Here’s a link to his Perfect XI season preview. For those who have missed having the opportunity to beat Nik in the old Blog Cup, here’s your chance to scratch that itch!

Togga Draft Leagues

If you’re looking to join a draft league looking for players at Togga, your best bet is to head to the Facebook group that they have created. It is a great resource for having questions about the Togga game answered directly by the Togga team as well as finding others interested in playing who might not have a full league of their own set up. You can find that Facebook group here. Looking briefly down the Notifications list in the group, there is a league looking for owners for a draft this coming Friday (August 12) at 8 PM Eastern Time. The reference code for that one is QNTV4UFF243VWXJH. (To join, open the Togga app, Join a League, Join an Existing League, enter that reference code).

Premier League Salary Cap

The granddaddy of them all. The Premier League game is still the most played game going by a fair distance. Steve Rothgeb will be helming our coverage of the PL.com game again this season. We had a great showing last year and we want to do even better this year. The look and feel of the Premier League site is all new and it feels like they are gearing up to start making significant changes after years of essentially the same old game. There is also a free mobile app this year after a few years of having to pay for them. The Rotoworld league code is 108499-65163.

We look forward to seeing you guys all across the web challenging our team in as many of the fantasy formats as you can handle. I know I’ve got teams set up in each of the leagues mentioned above and I can’t wait for it all to get started in just under a week!
