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

If you read the "Tipster" section,they state "There will be three rounds of international friendlies to prepare your fantasy football team for ahead of the final tournament in June" "Do not forget that you will also be able to participate in the final tournament fantasy football game when this is launched, so playing the friendly international's warm-up game is the perfect way of preparing for the footballing climax of the year".

It's vague in that it does'nt give a definate answer,I'd think all scores will revert to zero for the start of the championship proper.

Materazzi? Madness. Italy are bound to ship a few goals, considering the group they're in. Materazzi is also prone to moments of absolute madness in big games - giving away penalties, getting sent-off and so on. He'll cost you more than he'll earn!

Italy have a solid defence, Im confident they wont concede much. He's also likely to grab a goal or two, he's a huge threat from corners.

He certainly is. Just ask Juan Sorin....

Bubs101 · 16-05-2008 07:07AM

He also took penalties for perugia so you never know

Dont be at yourself · 16-05-2008 08:00AM

He took Inter's last penalty... skied it and has possibly cost them the title. He wont be taking penalties for Italy. Couple that with the real possibility of Italy finishing third in their group, and he doesn't look like a good deal!

Fine then, nobody agree with me - it'll be great with me being the only one with the balls to pick him and then he'll finish top scorer and I'll win. Mwa ha ha - thats logical, right?

There is also a real possibility of France not getting out of that group instead but that hasn't stopped people snapping up Frenchies for their team.

I think out of all the teams in group C i would be picking defenders from Italy rather than France, Holland or Romania.
Time will tell.

I think Archimedes is on the right track. Cannavaro is a quality defender but doesn't offer a goal threat like Mattarezzi. He is however a hateful cnut, thats why he isn't in my team!!

Thank you - someone finally agrees!

Another word of advice to others entering - pick a Spanish midfielder at your peril! Selection headache right there with Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, Fabregas and Silva.

2 French left backs mate, Id change one of those for starters. It'll probably be Abidal that will play unfortunately. And if possible, Id lose Ben Arfa. Hasnt been playing much at all for Lyon and probably wont see much action for France. Even Samir Nasri would be ahead of him.

Hi lad's,
I hate to put the cat amongst the pidgeons,regarding ye'r team selections,but I've noticed,unlike the premierleague.com rules,looking at the rules here,under transfers,they state "unlimited squad transfers can be made without penalty",so you could change your team by more than one player per transfer without loss of points.I saw somewhere else that if teams end on the same points,the team with the least amount of transfers is the winner.

I thought maybe that's just for the friendlies before the tournament starts but it doesn't seem to state that.

Kinda sucks.

I dont know who Šimůnek is,but I wanted Babel in cause the coach seems to like him and I think he will get good game time,so it had to be done.
