I'm in. Cheeers Davey. I'm not too happy with my team, I think there will be quite a bit of chopping and changing, Ranieri-style

Davey Devil

Edit: I see it now Joey Joe Joe Jnr Shabidoo, right?

eirebhoy

I joined the league but I can only see the other members (I don't seem to be in the league), can anyone confirm this? I've gone very attacking with a 3-5-2 formation.

Davey Devil

I can't see your team either, it might take a while to update.

Davey Devil

2 more teams are in:

Do assists count?

yes.

Do you not get any points for assists?

kida

nothing for assists - you need goalscorers - especially defenders and midfielders

All my players scored in the qualifiers bar Terry and obviously Larsson and the keeper.:)

Thats me. I didnt even check what the 'points system' was. No assists...that really puts the cat amongst the flying rats ! I'll have to rethink my lack of strategy methinks.

<edit> anyone else having trouble accessing the sportinglife fantasy footy site today? Think its down...:(

Yeah, same problem here.

I noticed someone had Reyes in their team, he didn't even make the Spain squad.

Space Coyote

I had Reyes I think. Just realised today that he didn't make the squad. :rolleyes:

The site is back up btw.

phenom

I have signed up. the site hasnt been updated yet but You should be able to see it soon.

Shaque attack

i've joined but i'm waiting for the site to be updated. i need to do some serious work on my team though i just threw it together, morale seems low atm so i'll have to give the team a week's holiday in Saipan or somewhere so they can relax before the real thing.

[Edit] u mean they're not really my players, i just got some sort of random virtual team with their names on it. i'll have to return my managers coat and cap so [/Edit]

phenom

Website updated now Shaque you can now see your team aswell as mine and one or two others.

cournioni

Just signed up there now...

I'm going to whoop yez all! :cool:

eirebhoy

Who's team is named kIILDIMO UNITED? I assume you just picked the players as quick as you could?

Canizareas is Spain's no.2. Mexes isn't in the French squad. I doubt Gallas will start ahead of Silvestre, Sagnol, Lizarazu, Thuram or probably even Desailly. I can't see Cesar starting for Spain either. Vachousek definitely won't start for the Czech's. Rodriguez has a lot of competition for a starting place. Postiga won't start ahead of Nuno Gomez and Pauleta. The rest (4) of the players are good.;)

jongore

Fastnet are in , 4 good players, 5 average ones and 2 crap ones.

cournioni

What do you think of FC PORNAPZ? :cool:

phenom

Your team has not been put up on the league yet. The website is updated every few hours.

Johnny_the_fox

good luck people...

hope none of you selected Robbie Fowler..

Not bad. You obviously sacrifised your defence to form the RVN-Henry partnership. I can see Onopko and Hass leaking a few goals. If you got points for assists I'd go with Nedved but midfielers only get points for goals so I'd go with someone like Valeron or Deco instead.

_blank_

I notice our friend The Muppet ( is mentioning his name in here a banning offence? ) has a team in there. Is he not banned or something?

Villain

He can still view seansouth.

I've already joined a mini league in work and doesn't allow you to join more than so f*** that.

My team is Parkville UTD:
Manager

Rudi Völler


Gianluigi Buffon

Arne Friedrich

Lilian Thuram

Zdenek Grygera

Massimo Oddo

Arjen Robben

Michael Ballack

Hakan Yakin

Alexander Mostovoi

Henrik Larsson

Jan Koller


Probably **** but didn't have much time, anyone suggest some changes??

cournioni

Looks like a fairly good team to me irish1.

p.pete

Just joined as uunet united

mr_angry

Lookout for the mighty Real Sociopath!!

I went for:

Formation: 4-4-2

Manager: Rudi Voller

'Keeper: Buffon
Right-back: Haas (scrimping a bit here, but he's not bad)
Left-back: Lahm
Centre-back #1: Michael Svensson
Centre-back #2: John Terry

Right midfield: Giannakopoulos
Left midfield: Vicente
Centre Midfield #1: Seedorf
Centre Midfield #2: Valeron

Striker #1: Makaay
Striker #2: Morientes


I've got some good providers in the midfield, and Lahm at the back should get forward well too. I scrimped a bit with Giannakopoulos, Haas, and Svensson, but at least the Sweedes don't concede too many, so I might get away with it.

I think Oddo will be a bench warmer for Italy. Same said for Robben. The rest are good.

I have Giannakopoulos too, I think he'll get a goal or two.

Yea one of lads reckons ODDO wont get his game as well, might have to revise, I think robben will get a look although hard to say how much.

Thanks for the help.

eirebhoy

Holland have too many midfielders for Robben to get a look in, van der Meyde, van der Vaart (I doubt he'll even start), Cocu, Davids, Seedorf, Overmars, van Bommel, Zenden, van Bronckhorst.

Pepe LeFrits

Tommy Söderberg and Lars Lagerbäck

Edwin van der Sar

John Terry
Murat Yakin
Maris Smirnovs

Fredrik Ljungberg
Marc Overmars
Robert Pires
Hakan Yakin
Pavel Nedved

Ebbe Sand
Henrik Larsson

cheapish defence, but if sweden win it you're all ****ed!

otherwise, cyis in next seasons premiership fsl

eirebhoy

Any chance this could be made a sticky? The more members the better.:)

darthmise

how many teams have you in the league now?
I'm already assigned to a different league but they give a prize to every manager in the league with the highest average score.

Davey Devil

36 teams so far.

Sorry for dragging up an old post.

But you can play Fantasy Football on the official Uefa website. It's the same format as the one for the Premier League, which is top notc.

Here's the Clicky Clicky Linky Linky if anybody's interested.

if anyone is having trouble getting to the fantasy football page, scroll down the page to the bottom where it says "FANZONE"

also another subsite exists with a Euro 2004 prediction game which seems free to enter and has prizes up for grabs as does the fantasy football one above.

It has a better points sytem than the sportinglife on but there's not much of a challenge to pick the players. I could pick a world class team which is stupid for a fantasy football game.

GK:Ricardo (He's more expensive than van der Sar, Kahn, Cech, Casilles if you prefer them)

Def: Ferriera
Def: Helguera
Def: Jankulovski (takes penalties for Czech's and scored 3 in the qualifiers)

Mid: Giannakopoulos
Mid: Ljunberg
Mid: van der Vaart
Mid: Rapaic
Mid: Ballack (c)

FW: Larsson
FW: Morientes (I'll transfer him if he's not picked for the first match)
