Boards.ie Euro 2008 Fantasy Football

Xavi6 · 14-05-2008 06:02AM #1

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.

Xavi6 · 14-05-2008 06:51AM

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

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.

Vokes · 14-05-2008 01:58PM

Why is the deadline so soon?

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

Bosingwa, Puyol, Abidal
Ronaldo (C), Modric, Van Der Vaart, 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.

Vokes · 14-05-2008 02:17PM

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?

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

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

genericgoon · 14-05-2008 03:17PM

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.

You can,just if you do it before the friendlies,you'll be able to keep an eye on your selection and have more fun!:)

They have the deadline to include the international friendlies.

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

OPENROAD · 14-05-2008 07:04PM

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