Euro 2020 Fantasy Football

[Lord Camomile]

Anyone?

Haven't set up a league, but can do if there's the interest. Would be willing to share the code via PM to avoid scrapers or trawlers or whatever they are.

 

[Numbers]

I'd be up for it.

 

[AverageJoe]

Me too

 

[belboid]

Why not?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

sounds good

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ok, apologies for the delay, have set up a league, slide into my PMs for those sweet hot digits and such like.

 

[belboid]

Hmm, now for the tricky bit...

 

[Lord Camomile]

Heh, yup. I've even less clue than with the regular game

 

[belboid]

oh gawd, there are weird substitution rules too! Serious thought required

 

[Numbers]

Fucking nightmare settling on a team.

 

[extra dry]

Is it too late? Italy, are they even init?

 

[belboid]

You have till kick off tomorrow. Or probably a couple of hours earlier. I’m going for eight - ten players that sen reasonable and whoever else it tells me is a good budget buy. I’ve gotta go get rid of Henderson though

 

[Lord Camomile]

Me too

sounds good

Is it too late? Italy, are they even init?

PM me for details of the urban league

 

[extra dry]

Italy as ever off to a good start.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ooooh, for a while I've been advocating for being able to 'sub' players during a gameweek in FPL, but now I've got the chance to do it and I'm stuck wondering if I should stick with Insigne and his 8 points as captain or twisting and moving the captain's armband to Lukaku v Russia

Even when I'm theoretically doing well I still find a way to hate this game

 

[extra dry]

I go with random changes and minimum research

 

[Lord Camomile]

I go with random changes and minimum research

I mean, probably leaves you a lot less stressed than the rest of us.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ahhhhh, well. Looks like at least no-one else in my vicinity in the leagues I'm in captained him either.

And who knew the Finnish goalkeeper would also be my top scorer so far

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ooh, currently sitting joint 603rd in England, which will almost certainly be my high point of the tournament. What I do like, though, is that one of the fellow 603rd placed teams is called "501st"

 

[Steel Icarus]

Portugal's Cancelo, ironically, has been sent home after testing positive for COVID. Yes, he's in my team.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I did have Lukaku as captain though, so I'm happy enough so far.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Portugal's Cancelo, ironically, has been sent home after testing positive for COVID. Yes, he's in my team.

Ooh, that's gonna be rough for a lot of people (plus Cancelo, obviously, though hopefully not too rough health-wise, at least).

Dodged a bullet there, gave serious thought about bringing him in, and had been mildly regretting not doing so ever since.

 

[extra dry]

It is actually quite a good competition so far. I only get match commentary in french on youtube. Not paying for sports channels on the tv.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Awww

 

[Numbers]

Bollox bollox bollox, I missed the frickin deadline to make transfers, bollox.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Definitely starting to regret betting in favour of Germany's attack rather than betting against Portugal's defence, and that it's far more likely France'll be among the goals than Germany.

Oh well, done now, we shall see.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

Bollox bollox bollox, I missed the frickin deadline to make transfers, bollox.

I have twice...

 

[belboid]

I am doing….quite well. If France kick Portugal’s arse I should be second!

 

[Lord Camomile]

I am doing….quite well. If France kick Portugal’s arse I should be second!

Yes, you'll be pleased to know I have been cursing your name for this round

 

[Lord Camomile]

I FORGOT THE BASTARD DEADLINE AND HAVE TWO GERMANS AND TWO SPANIARDS SITTING ON MY BASTARD BENCH!!
