North East Buses

Made a designated thread for this instead of using the Fantasy Premier League one, mb set up a league and the details are here:

PIN: 168711TH
Register at http://eurofantasy.uefa.com/en/fantasy, create your team then join the league. 

Hopefully a few more people will join as it's only me and mb134 in at the minute - only 2 weeks to the Euros too!

No one else doing this then...?

Joined. What a faff on it is mind... I'd recommend registering before picking your team, or you'll end up losing it!

Great   Was no point in just having two of us in it!
I know I made that mistake when I joined, lost mine too so I just auto selected it and I'll redo it sometime before Friday when I have a better idea on the teams

Slightly off topic but the sweepstake I've got at work has me now hoping Northern Ireland win...

Mind you, Leicester did do the league!!

Greece and Denmark have done it in recent years. Denmark only got in to the tournament by virtue of Yugoslavia being kicked out on the eve of it all starting.

Getting back to the Fantasy Football, I ballsed up the registration process due to it being a right faff on. Will try again before Friday.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/predictor - BBC have also introduced a predictor game with leagues. Far easier than when I had to do it myself last year! Shame they didn't do one for the BPL season.

Only three entries? Come on folks. It's a bit of fun for a few weeks, for minimal effort!

I know! It's a massive contrast to the Premier League one.

I will hold my hands up and admit I signed up to the wrong competition.
No idea why, but I thought we were using the same website as the WC last year. So I lowered myself and went on their website and picked my team on there.
Sorry

Not a bad team there! Is that Pantillimon on the bench? How did he score 2 points as he didn't even play.

Aye it is, didn't notice who they had in goal tbh, so not a clue! 

How are you doing?

Terrible! No goal scorers only points from Sommer really. What about yours?

Think I've got about 20 points so far, mostly due to Payet. Still annoyed that Kane did nothing last night, (and that he was on corners!!!!!!) [emoji35]

Haha yeah couldn't get my head around him doing to corners!

Have you done the Daily 7 or predictor too?

'Right then, we've got a lad who scored over 20 goals in the Premier League last season guys, where should we put him at corners?'

'He obviously should be taking them Roy, it's unfair on the opposition if we put a clinical striker in the box. We've got Sterling to get his head on things anyway'...

Haven't done the Daily 7, though I've done a predictor on a different site, where I got an England Belgium final...

Yep exactly no logic at all in the decision!

I think Belgium have a good chance of winning! Got a top class team, Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku etc.

I think if I had to put money on someone winning, it would be Belgium. However I'd fancy Poland and Iceland as well, all it takes is a bit of luck and a run of four games once you're out of a group.

Imagine if Iceland won it! Bloody hell that would be incredible

They're a solid team, and they have a relatively nice group (Portugal, Hungary and Austria. You'd think Portugal would walk the group, so it'd go down to the other three and I fancy Iceland)

After their group, if they come runner up, they play the runner up from our group, before probably facing France in the Quarters. After then it's one match where all you need to be is defensively solid, and you're in the final.

Aye true, Iceland have some good players especially Sigurddson. But they were very good in the qualifiers and knocked Holland out to be fair!
