After three weeks of fantasy football, Premier League-style, it’s become quite apparent that I have some work to do.

Already, I find myself 41 points off the pace, thanks to a handful of questionable roster moves — starting the season with Carlos Tevez instead of Didier Drogba (a move I quickly rectified), dropping Andrei Arshavin after a poor performance at Liverpool, thinking Ryan Shawcross would once again be a fantasy bargain in defense, forgetting about Everton’s traditionally slow start to the season (grumble), and so on. It’s not nearly as exact a science, this fantasy stuff.

Thus, it seems likely that I’ll have to hand out a prize this year. Luckily, for me and for you, someone has stepped up to offer one.

The winner of this year’s Dave’s Football Blog Fantasy Premier League will receive a $100 gift certificate from SoccerPro.com, which offers a wide selection of soccer equipment and licensed apparel. SoccerPro.com is a supporter of Dave’s Football Blog, and we thank them for providing this gift certificate.

By the way, if I manage to make up this 41 point difference and win this league, as it was during the World Cup Fantasy League, this gift certificate is mine. If you want the prize, you must beat Off Constantly FC. So there.

In fact, we might have a second $100 gift certificate to SoccerPro.com to give away in a separate fantasy contest, which will be announced later — as soon as I figure out who’s running a UEFA Champions League fantasy league around here. ESPN seems to be shunning the Champions League on SoccerNet these days. (What? The Worldwide Leader playing down a league for which it doesn’t have the TV rights? Why, even Barry Melrose would scoff!)
