Arsenal play host to Manchester United on Saturday evening in a match which promises to tell us much about the two club’s respective goals this season, with Champions League qualification and a desire to catch up to Chelsea and Manchester City uppermost in their minds. Most importantly, though, it will be a match which will […]

FantasyYIRMA.com started out as most random fantasy football leagues do…
over alcohol.
People often ask ” What does the name mean? “
Long story short – One bloke says to the other “I need a name for the mini-league”
“the what??” came the reply.
“the fantasy league, we have to give it a name”
“I haven’t got a (Insert word of your own choosing ) clue. Sure name it after Yir Ma!”
This statement was thus taken literally and FantasyYIRMA was born!!
Since 2008 more than 10,000 people have now entered a Fantasy YIRMA mini-league.
The main league is free to play and the £100 prize fund is typically paid by the loser in the bet between the FantasyYIRMA admin team.
To take £100 off your mate in a bet is fun- to make him sponsor the league for an entire season …is funnier.
I think it’s fair to say, that if you had told me FantasyYIRMA.com would still be running almost two years after it started I would have chuckled immensely… but it has… we have… and as both the twitter (@FantasyYIRMA ) account and website have continued to grow, it genuinely is a pleasure to be involved in the ridiculously brilliant world of Fantasy Football.
The interaction online from #FPL fans across the world has been fantastic! Our goal now is the same as it was from day one – to try and provide interesting and quality insight and to help create as much interaction around the game as possible. Simply watching the evolution of the game over the past few years as the level of interest continues to grow has been fascinating.
Best of Luck to everyone for the 2014/15 season from us at FY!

Fantasy Football: Why bother??
Oct 31
Fantasy Football – WHY?? Last week I was asked about the website FantasyYIRMA. “What the hell does it mean?” is typically the first question I get (About Us) and after I had spent a few moments explaining what the site was and the drunken back story, came the more difficult question to answer, which […]

The #FY Top 5 for GW8, including Santiago Vergini and, hang on, Marouane Fellaini does play for Man Utd?!
Vergini’s Vision
What was it Martin Tyler said when another Argentinean, Sergio Aguero, scored another pretty famous Premier League goal?
“Just watch it, drink it in! You’ll never seen anything like this ever again!” Quite.
Tweet of the Week
This cannot possibly backfire.
Nope. Not going to backfire at all.
Three minutes later… By the way, seeing the words ‘Fellaini Blind’ next to each other on a scoresheet might explain a few things since he’s joined United.
Mad Mario
Balotelli isn’t even bothered here. It’s Lallana who I feel sorry for.
Oscar Worthy
Who needs Diego Costa? Well, all of us, clearly, but still. This was nice.

Manchester United and Chelsea strong between the sticks : Gameweek7 Review
Oct 7
GW7 FPL REVIEW FROM @FANTASYGAFFER Most important business first, patting one’s self on the back until the palm is sore. Two weeks ago I touted the miraculous recovery of one Papiss Demba Cisse from a broken kneecap, pointing to his very very low ownership (0.1%) and similarly low price (£5.9m) as a reason to […]
