Anyone know why we've been earning points when the Euros haven't even kicked off yet? The only thing I can think of is the friendly games last week but that seems a bit stupid to give points on a Euro 2008 game for friendly games?

I had a look as I couldn't believe I was last before we'd even started (no quick comments about getting used to it please!!) and it seems like they had 3 matchdays set up with a list of 10-15 friendly games on each. I joined last night and I've missed matchdays 1 and 2. Obviously not all friendlies will effect the players as some are teams not involved in the finals, but thats where points have come from I guess.

I was going to but as everyone already has points from friendlies i prob wont bother

mg1 · Cult Status

Hey Luke

Why not join anyway, just take the points earned from the first three match day away

Luke_C · Cult Status

no i like the idea of remaining the champion of fantasy football while its fair lol

Simon · Cult Status

Only because I didnt enter this year lol

Simon · Cult Status

I have signed up, but when I copy and paste the code, it comes up with a message:

52027-7232 is not a valid code to join a league

Anyone else have this problem?

Simon

GarethGardner · Cult Status

Same with me Simon. Not a valid code to join a league

evertonian · Cult Status

I've worked out whats wrong.

All of our teams are picked for the friendly games before the competition and NOT for Euro 2008 itself. Thats why others cant join the league because they have picked their tournament team whereas the league is for teams from the friendly games.

What you have to do is (if you're on the current league) log in and click on the 'Final Game' button. You then pick your new team for the competition itself. If we all make a new league then it should work fine.

Its all a bit stupid really, who wants to play a Fantasy Football competition for friendly games leading up to a big tournament????

Anyway everything should work now

mg1 · Cult Status

I have just created a new league for the Euros starting from the start of the tourny.
The code is 27901-5656 if anyone wants to join.

Hopefully everyone should now be able to join without any problems

Turney · Cult Status

sorry didn't realise it was for friendlys

I have now joined the new league

Simon · Cult Status

OK thanks, I'm in.

GarethGardner · Cult Status

Im in now. Simon do you know Babel is out of the tournament ?

Simon · Cult Status

Who me?

GarethGardner · Cult Status

How do we know who has who in thier respective teams ?

evertonian · Cult Status

I guess they won't display them until the tournament starts and transfer limits come in, possibly so that people cant copy teams?

Simon · Cult Status

How do you change formation?

Safehands · Cult Status

i thought formation was defined by the players you pick

ie swap a midfielder for a forward and you will change from 442 to 433

that make sense? just sub them in using the sub players below your main team

cheers

Sim

Simon · Cult Status

so it does, cheers

I tried buying in a new player by taking out one in another position - didnt work

CRadford7 · Cult Status

You think so GG? Half of your defence probably wont even be starting!

Eric Abidal looks set to start over Patrice Evra. (Dont see how though, as Evra is much better)

Navarro and Juanito wont play much!

Cant see Nani starting over Simao

Cant see Gattuso and Camoranesi getting many goals/points

I think you have over estimated your team GG! Lol

Good Luck though. Lets see if you can prove me wrong smile
