Fantasy Football

Ok, thanks, teek, I'll join now (I didn't see that because I wasn't signed in! duh!)

 

Stink. I'm already coming last and the tournament hasn't even started yet. Surely there must be more than 4 soccer fans who want to join this (especially as I am not even a soccer fan - but I'm just getting into the spirit of things).

 

I'm sure more will when they see this thread. There's more footy fans on here to join yet. Plenty of 'em!

I guess a lot can't be botehred with a fantasy footy though .

 

Fantasy football doesn't take much effort, especially as this game doesn't seem to allow loads of trades and doesn't have a rating system where certain players cost more than others (that's time consuming).

 

the title is fantasy football, so there might football fan who wouldn't come in just seeing the title. i was reluctant to read this too, initially, because fantasy sport is not my thingy afterall. But then i still went to the link and pick the players and so on and on and on.

 

Good for you, teekc!

Actually, this version of fantasy soccer will be a bit tricky, given that you can have a different team for each day of the tournament. You'd have to be a micro-manager to win this one.

ok, let's talk about this.

we only have limited trading (changing players), so of course i want most of my players get into last 16. To get into last 16, they have to depend on their team and their group.

My biggest concern is U.S., italy, czech, you cannot know for sure who lose out. They all have good players, even U.S. Donovan and Keller are as good choice as other well known italians or Czechs, and they carry more weight than their Italian or Czech counterparts. i pick them i have to let go Italy or Czech .... And Italy is not 100% too.

 

Hang on, how many trades are you allowed at the end of the Group stage?

I found a Polish player called Giza (Geezer! ) He's bound to be my star of the tournament.

3 or 4 after group stage, i think.

Now that i looked at it again...
Home team is always strong, this year is Germany's turn. After group stage, they face England or Sweden, after that they face Argentina, Portugal or Netherlands, after that Brazil .... ohhhh the choice i have to make.

 

Well, you can only have three Germans in your squad so it's not that big a deal.

 

but i also don't want to pick team that is on Germany's way.

 

Wahey, I am winning the Fields O' Magick group! Let's stop the game now while I am ahead. Come on Joe Cole!

 

yea, let's end the group now. i win. end of story.

 

Bah, here I go, my team is crap all of a sudden. Joe Cole hardly got me any points as captain even though he had a great game. Who works out these stats anyway. Wish I had some Mexicans now.

 

oh my god!!!

i just found out that you can pre line up your players ahead of time! there is a calender on top of your captain pic. Click on different date brings you to ... well, different date so that you can set your starting player ahead. i never knew that.


germany rest ballack. argentina rest aimar. portugal rest deco. that is my team.

My team is having a shocker. My Dutch players scored zero and my Argentinian got negative points. What a nightmare. And my captain Christian Ronaldo got all of two points. Go him.

 

oh come on!
first Donovan gives me -1, then you sub out totti before he score a goal, come ON!!!!!!

 

Rosicky got me 17 points. Woohoo! What happened to Rutowski?

 

That'll teach you to pick a Yank.

 

Ha, I'm back on top of the table again. Go my Italians!
