IMPORTANT RE: Euro 2008 Fantasy Football

Xavi6 · 31-05-2008 10:57am #1

Ok so for some bizarre reason the league we all entered was only to cover the friendly games in the run up to the tournament. For the actual tournament you now have to pick a whole new team and enter the league again. An absolute joke I know but it's gotta be done.

I've gone ahead and set up the new league. Code is 14224-3041 so be sure to stick your team in asap.

If this could be made the new sticky instead of the other thread it'd be great.

EDIT: The Euro 2008 fantasy football site.

My new team -

Akinfeev

Corluka----Heitenga

Ujfalusi----Metzelder

Ronaldo

Xavi

De Rossi

Quagliarella----Klose----Huntelaar

Sub: Fernandes

FFS.

Thanks for the heads up.

Argh, couldn't pick the same team either, values changed.

Lahm

Carvalho
Sneijder

Will Quagliarella and Nasri start for their respective teams or is worth changing them

Čech

Puyol
Carvalho
Mellberg
Lahm

Cristiano Ronaldo

I put babel in mine too but wasnt sure if he's likely to be in the Dutch first team.

Still tweaking to do.

Lehmann

Ferreira----Mertesacker

Cannevaro----Abidal

Babel

Iniesta

Ribery

Huntelaar----Torres(c)----Baros(I fell dirty

)

I assume Spain will have Torres and Villa up fron and not just Villa?

Why not?

Ste, can't see Evra starting. For some unknown reason Domenech seems to favour Abidal.

kaimera · 31-05-2008 12:36pm

jaysus Ste, 3 defenders from the toughest group?

So you fancy the Dutch to do well then I gather?

TBH it's my first draft , disregarding who is in each group. The team could well end up not resembling that at all

. I'll spend the next few days finalising. As is , if Holland spanked Romania and the Italy France game ends 0-0 it wouldnt be too bad.

Coolio, thats a handy swap anyway, they are both the same price.

Unearthly · 31-05-2008 12:44pm

Ridiculous carry on from the site. Nearly everyone I have seen on the internet got caught out by the friendly comp and I bet loads of people won't even login to their account till the euros start and find they have no team.

Nikopolidus

Bosingwa
Metzelder
Cannavaro
Ujfalusi

Deco
Kallstrom
Pirlo

Henry
Torres (c)
Gomes

Then some random austrian as a sub

All these starters for their team?

You don't need to register again. If you've already signed up then just log in and pick your new team. Otherwise I'm not sure what your problem might be.

Heres my team:
Banditos del diablo

1: Casillas

----2: Lahm ---- 3: Carvalho -- 4: Seitaridis --- 5: Ćorluka

6:Cristiano Ronaldo(C)-- 7: Nasri -- 8: Fàbregas --- 9: Frings --

10: van Persie

11: Benzema

Sub: 12: Kazım Kazım

Dave! · 31-05-2008 12:53pm

My team is called Ronald McDonald Utd..... For some reason McDonald's came into my head when I visited the site........

yeah that was it, i forgot i signed up to this ages ago, never even made a team. went through the spam to see i had been getting emails all year long.

Trippie · 31-05-2008 1:25pm

1: Akinfeev

----2: Marchena ---- 3: Materazzi -- 4: Nilsson --- 5: Ćorluka

6:Schweinsteiger

7: Modric

8: Smolarek

9: Quaresma

10: Villa

11: Klose

Sub----Mutu

Charlie · 31-05-2008 1:46pm

Ah billix, can't get my previous team together because of valuation increases. Also, only realised now that Oddo was dropped fro Italy's squad. Madness.

Here's the new Charlie's Yankees:

Pletikosa

Zambrotta

Sagnol

Mellberg

Van Bronckhorst

----Modric

Ribery

Emre

Schweinsteiger(C)

Huntelaar

Villa

Sub: Arse-Shavings

I will be reverting to a 4-3-3, benching Emre, once Arse-Shavings is back from suspension.

eZe^ · 31-05-2008 2:19pm

Finally got it working...

MesQueUnEquip;

Casillas

----Ramos

Carvalho

Grosso--

-Rakitic---Frings----Deco---Robben-

Charisteas---Toni---Klose

Sub; Corluka

3-4-3 baby!

machiavellianme · 31-05-2008 2:20pm

1. Cech,
2 - 5 some dirt cheap defenders who I dont know (one of which will be a sub)
6. Ronaldo
7. Ballack
8. Fabregas
9. Kranjcar
10. Torres (c)
11. Gomez
12. Baros

Will Villa get games? Might swap Fabregas/Baros combo for Villa/Nasri but I wonder if the latter duo will start? Since 3 points go for man of the match, I'm hoping to make up for my leaky defence. The Italian, German and Spanish defenders are too expensive and I figure the rest will leak goals so I might as well focus on getting quality attackers, goalscorers and a Baros. :pac:

citytillidie · 31-05-2008 2:28pm

Thanks i was wondering why it was reset

van der Sa
Jansen
Mertesacker
Goumas
Rat
Cristiano Ronaldo (C)
Ribéry
Malouda
Ivanschitz
Torres
Henrik Larsson

leninbenjamin · 31-05-2008 2:52pm

in the end went with

Cech

Carvalho

Metzhelder

Corluka

Mellberg

Sneijder

Iniesta

Krancjar

Pirlo

Klose

Benzema

sub: Arsharvin

a lot of people here banking on both Huntelaar and babel starting for the dutch... that's not a sure thing.It's a right roral pain trying to guess who'll start.

Mikeyt086 · 31-05-2008 3:56pm

Same goes for Bastian Schweinsteiger who didnt start for Bayern this year even though i thought he was top class in WC 06.

Melion · 31-05-2008 4:05pm

Im in again:

Casillas

Metzelder
Pepe
Carvalho
Gallas

Kallstrom
Krancjar
Robben
Pirlo

Torres
Toni

(Sub)Baros

Check the rules.

The number of players from a given country changes after each round I think.

vincenzo1975 · 31-05-2008 4:48pm

Torres wont start, Villa will.

Thats the trouble with picking Spains Midfielders or strikers, too many good ones to make a confident desicion.

Mr.Nice Guy · 31-05-2008 6:15pm

I should hope so. Half the teams will be gone after the group stages. It'd get very hairy by the semi's if you can only field 8 players.

that is completely not true the spanish manager said he would start torres and villa has come out and accepted that he will be playing a bit part role.

Lex Luthor · 01-06-2008 8:31pm

I don't like the McD FF league way it is set up. I'm sure the one we are all used to during the season will have a Euro one up & running this week. They did for the WC last time

Ryan Babel to miss Euro 08,picked up ankle ligament damage in training.
