Moved from the other Fantasy Euros thread, hopefully the mods can move the posts from that thread to here

This is Fantasy Euros with a twist. There is an auction for each of the players so only one person in the league can have each player. There are a few links below, one is the homepage to register, the other contains the rules and the final one contains a quick guide to how the game runs

http://www.fantasyleague.com/Default.aspx

League Name: Boards.ie
League Code: 43962

http://www.fantasyleague.com/ProEuro/Content/LeagueRulesIntroduction.aspx

http://www.fantasyleague.com/ProEuro/Content/NewUser.aspx

These are the suggested dates for the bidding

Round 1: Deadline midnight Sunday June 3rd
Round 2: Monday June 4th 12pm until midnight
Round 3: Tuesday June 5th 12pm until midnight
Round 4: Wednesday June 6th 12pm until midnight

Can anyone interested post their team name just so I know who is who? Also, there is a bit of a debate going at the minute to decide if we should be allowed 2 or 3 players from each country so please leave your opinion on this

Thanks

Sorry mate, had to close it on Friday to start the auction

I think I have my team sorted now. There's one particular player I really want to put a low bid on, because I think most will skip over him, but I can't fit him into my team. I will be very jealous if someone gets him on the cheap because I haven't bid. I'll bid big on him in the 2nd round if nobody has him.

So be ready to be shouted at if you have this particular person.

*Edit* Haha, I'm terrible at this. I brought him in and stuck a reasonably high amount of money on him. Can't stand to let someone else have him.

Cant believe you went for Malafeev, was sure I would get him on a sneaky free:mad:

Immediate thoughts, as I had them:

• Who the hell bid more than 16m for Ozil? Little ****e.
  
• Sneijder and RVP for 16m will do though.
  
• Schweinsteiger for 1.5 has to be my best buy though.
  
• Benzema was the player I was talking about earlier. Stuck 10m on him last minute, but didn't get him.
  
• Very pleased with Muller for 10m.
  
• 2 top keepers for 1.5 each - Casillas & Lloris. Awesome.
  
• Glen Johnson and Zhirkhov for 1.5 each should be full of clean sheets.
  
• Ah, my 1m for Rooney ploy failed. Can't wait to see what he was bought for.

Hey now, I actually tied on Ozil for 16m. They gave it to the other guy. That's balls.

*Edit* - I also tied on Sniejder, but I got him, so I can't complain.

Hehe. Carlcon you were the only one that went for RVP in the end!! Aha!

With hindsight, that 16m looks steep now, but it felt like a waste of a bidding slot if I was going to place a less serious bid on him. I'm just happy to have him .

Now I have 2 in each position. Gonna need to get a rake in for this next round.

swoody

my 3 strikers cost me 48.....ouch!


was hoping to be out bidded!

There is a random tie order so if two people bid the same amount on a player whoever is higher in the tie order gets him

I was the guy that bid 16m for Ozil:D.................................and the guy who got Rooney for 1:D:D

manual_man

Got all the players i went for in the end

Malafeev Ignashevic Ward (Get in!!) Piszek and Wasilewski (both on frees!!) McGeady Laarson Yarmolenko Ibrahimovic Keane Kerzhakov. Delighted

Haha yeah. I played it on the safer side. But still shocked not more than one bid for RVP!!

Out of those I had bids in for Malafeev(free), Yarmolenko(free) and Ibrahimovic(12m)

Have to say I think the 15.5 you paid for Yarmolenko might be a bit steep

Well to be fair you did outbid me for Casillas by 1.5m and Sneijder by 1m so Id say we are even

Yeah you can look at it that way but i wanted to make sure i got him... He's been an absolute machine in the run-up to the tournament

Munster Magic

Happy enough with the quality if not the quantity I got

A.Cole(free), Pique(8m), Kadlec(8m), Iniesta(16m), Ozil(16m), Dzagoev(10m), Rooney(1m)

carlcon

So who's claiming the best bargain of round 1?

My contender is Schweinsteiger for 1.5.

Thats true, 7 goals in 18 internationals is really impressive for a midfielder

That was a sneaky one alright, my contender would have to be Rooney for 1m:D but yours is probably better considering Rooney is out for the first 2 games
