    Following on from some discussion in the Premiership Fantasy Football thread, I thought it might be best to give the Euro 2008 edition its own one.

    You can sign up here and Invincible has kindly set up a boards league. The code is 39952-5618. Deadline for teams is May 23rd so get on it!

    There's a few people in it so far but the more the merrier etc.

    Also, any chance of this being a sticky?

    Brendangerous are registered and ready to do a Greece.

    Was very hesitant to include Italian, Dutch or French teams because of the group of death.

    Germany, Portugal and to a lesser extent Spain could fill their boots. It's a lottery guessing on Spain's starting line-up, but the likes of Ballack and Ronaldo could rack up points in the group stages.

    Klose must be a certainty for every team, will do very well in the group stages. Also a good tip, Palyuchenko (or however its spelled) for Russia. Only costs 6.0, and has had a magnificent season for Zenit so will definitely be starting up front.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,077 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    My provisional team so far is -

    Casillas

    Corluka
    Carvalho
    Cannavaro
    Heitinga

    Modric
    Xavi
    Ronaldo

    Torres
    Klose
    Arshavin

    Sub: Fernandes

    That'll be changing over the next week or so though no doubt.

    Joined up :D

    The deadline of May 23rd is only for the little pre-tournament they are having with the international friendlies. I wouldnt worry too much about that.

    Xavi just to warn you, Arshavin misses the first two games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,836 ✭✭✭Vokes


    Why is the deadline so soon?


    Anyway, as said before, Klose must be a shoe-in for goals!

    Cech
    Puyol---Lahm---Bosingwa--Carvalho
    -Ronaldo(c)-Kranjcar--Modric--Ballack

    One question why is the next deadline for Matchday 2?
    When was matchday 1?

    EDIT: Bosignwa dropped to bench for Klasnic.

    I'm sure many changes will happen.

    EDIT: The tinkering has already begun. Podolski, Ronaldo, and Mellberg out. Villa, Schweinsteiger, and Zambrotta in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,836 ✭✭✭Vokes


    So it looks like the fantasy football started with the March friendlys? And the next matchday is the international friendly week in 2 weeks time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,253 ✭✭✭Evil_Clown


    I'm in go Bombers:

    Lehmann
    Bosingwa Mellberg Jansen Puyol

    Ribéry Fabregas Ballack Quaresma

    Huntelaar Torres

    Was just looking at the rules - it seems this Fantasy football league is only for 3 matchdays leading up the Euros - the warmup friendlies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,625 ✭✭✭Dancor

    Panels are finalised yet for euro2008. It's only for friendlies at the minute but no harm in thinking ahead.

    Rolly United: GK: Cech DF:Mellberg, Kovac, Senderos MF:C. Ronaldo, Kranjcar, Ballack, Srna FW: Torres, V. Nistelrooy, Klose Obviously Ive sacrificed some top defenders for a great midfield and a world class forward line. Expecting big things from Ronaldo and Ballack and at 9.5 I would reckon Ballack is good value considering his return to form at Chelsea.

    I suppose they're including the friendlies to accomodate people that might'nt be familar with the format of Fantasy Football.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭OPENROAD


    So for the purposes of the league will players scores count from the friendlies?
