I didn't pick drogba I like Moteab off Egypt, great scoring record

Drogba is going to have a game less than everyone else in the groups since Togo pulled out.

Is the fantasy league based on who wins games or who survives the tournament?

It's similar to any knockout fantasy,you'll be able to transfer as your players get eliminated.

[* The league that you are trying to join does not exist

You can only join a league once you have been sent an invite with a league code from the league administrator.]

Didn't put him actually. It was more who to avoid after buying the likes of Tico-Tico and Willy Abuyameng in the past and realising that just because someone is in the Milan reserve team it doens't mean they are any good :-)

And Wiki isn't very helpful, jusdging by Mantorras's "To Maderia-esque" goal scoring record for Benfica! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantorras

Ah well, I'm in! Very odd that there's no money involved though

Bukman13

Very strange... it worked that time (6th time), must have been a glitch on the site or something!

If anyone needs a hand picking their team, these previews on my site pick out key players from each team - http://backpagefootball.com/category/africa/

Anyone still having trouble with joining the league?

Does anyone know if El Hadary is still Egypt's first choice keeper?

Cool. I'll give it a shot.

Woot, 36 points for captain Keita

Yep he scored twice sweet. 37 points. 20 from Flavio and 17 from Gilberto

That_Guy

34 points in total for me.

28 points for Manucho (Captain)

6 for Marques.. Surprised he didn't get docked more points to be honest.

Not too bad really. Roll on the Ivory Coast tomorrow.

Frisbee

28 from Captain Kanoute and 18 from Keita.

46 from only two players, this game makes you feel much better about yourself than the Premier League one... :pac:

SlickRic

so can we do transfers between every round of matches?

or are we stuck with this team until the knockout stages?

You can transfer now if you want, they will take affect once every team has played 1 match. 14th I think.

That_Guy

14 points for Kolo Toure and 10 points for Yaya Toure.

Got 4 points for Mensah and Essien each. Probably something to do with Togo pulling out.

Up to 66 points now.

Yea the Ghana thing is strange, they gave all Ghana players 4pts (for a win), so I assume they will do the same for Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso, but hardly any point considering how many points are possible for each player.

That_Guy

WTF? I didn't get any points for Manucho scoring today?

I don't think they have updated the points yet, they'll probably have updated it by the morning.
