Fantasy Premier League Mad kicks off in two days

Last updated : 14 August 2014 By Tony Scholes

At the time of writing we have received 89 entries which means the prize fund is already at £445 and with the expected rush in the last 48 hours it is very likely to go past £500 and could even surpass the final prize fund of 2013/14 season which was £530.

It's our ninth season running the game and we have continued to use the official Fantasy Premier League game which, apart from a hiccup at the start of the 2011/12 season, has continued to serve us well.

The game is free to join, and we charge £10 (£10.60 using cards or paypal) to enter the Clarets Mad League. £5 of that is immediately added to the prize fund with the remaining amount going into the Clarets Mad Youth Foundation.

It's as easy as one-two-three to join.

1. Register your team within the Fantasy Premier League game

2. Register to join the Clarets Mad League

3. Enter the code sent to you on registering to become a member of the league.

All the entries will be added to the list on Eli's Message Board but you do not need to be a member of the board to join the game.

Once joined, the rest is easy. You will have until 11:30 a.m. on Saturday to determine how best to spend your £100 million. Until that cut off time you can make as many changes as you like, maybe splashing out on some of this summer's big signings or perhaps choosing up to three Burnley players who are not quite so expensive just yet.

It's good fun and you can spend as much or as little time as you want to getting your squad in order, and then maybe a few minutes each week as you contemplate a transfer or quick team change.

All you need to do now is follow the three steps and we look forward to welcoming you to the Clarets Mad League.
