Just my luck... Group of Death :shock:

Oh well as they always say "to be the best you have to beat Moofa, Milan and Vaughn" (it's a well known saying).

Being in slot A1, I must be the host nation :lol:

Just so you're all aware, I had a bet with a mate that Zigic would win Golden boot in South Africa, so I'm gonna rip this up :lol:

Just noticed, JLM and PV4 in the same pool :lol:

Dis gun be goooooooooood

So in a few days we'll start draft. Same rules as normal, 3 days from first bid, needs to be 12 hour period with no bids for player to be sold. Lets get this done quick! You can pick keepers, CS count as a point.

I think after first elimination, 1 new player for progressed teams. For the 2 cuts after that, 2 new players each time.

What happens with eliminated players in teams that progress? Is it just bad luck if potentially the only player you have in the next round is the one you pick up in the new draft?

Yes. You want to pick looking ahead too. Picking up a new player means that you'll have at least one player. But it would be unfortunate to have all five of your players eliminated in R1.

I'd ask PV4 if he wanted to have an avatar bet, but he''s probably too much of a #pussybitch to do so.

What's a few days imno? Will be out of the country for a few days. Not sure of internet situation.

I'll take your spot for you :P

:lol: I'm keen

Let's make it the person who finishes higher in the group gets to pick the avatar of the other person, which they must have until Xmas. The avatar can only be an unedited (cropping allowable but no effects/words/etc) picture of a footballer (EG: like you have Rambo now).

PS sif this draw was legit.

The top four of Fantasy EPL are all in different groups. This shit is seeded, yo.

I'm not complaining.

:lol: Dude, I took a photo with the calendar so people wouldn't whinge :P I took the pic before anyone had picked a word ;)

Scouse - we'll start as soon as squads are finalised. 3rd June.

As long as you're back by about the 5th you'll b fine as nobody sells until then.

Calendars can be changed. I do it to get the time stamp I want on documents.

:lol: that's freaky then

Xmas is a long time, how about until the end of pre season?

Enjoy your Milligan avatar :lol:

Alright, until the first HAL season game. Deal?

EDIT: Ljubo, Zadkovich, Carney - there's too many options for you! Will put some thought into it :lol:

:lol:

I really need to do some research and think about who I wanna pick up. Have barely thought about it.

There can be only one.

What about this hipster wanker?

Really hard group for me, but I think I have a hope of progressing.

Just so I'm 100% on this comp.

There will only be 80 players used (16x5) and there is no adding/swapping from your squad after it's selected.

Say for instance no-one selects Josh Kennedy (inconceivable I know?). Once we inevitably qualify for the Ro16 he cannot be picked up even though he'll be on track for the Golden Shoe...??

My bad. I just re-read the euro rules link. You can pick up 1 player. Is that only if you lose a player (ie replacement for a player from a team eliminated) or is it now a squad of 6?

Sorry to be a pain...

Hi mate

Not being a pain at all.

Irrespective of how many players you lose from elimination, you will pick up one player (as will everyone else)

Just means that in the horrible situation that all 5 players you have are knocked out you have at least one player.

After the second elimination you pick up two new players, and after the third two new players as well.

Read the first post for rules on how you pick up new players:

The teams that progress will each nominate ONE player (first cut) or TWO players (second and third cuts) who was either a free agent, or a member of a fantasy team that has been eliminated. After we have all players nominated, I will assign a random word to each of them, and we will then choose a word each to be rewarded with one of the players from the pool (first in, first served). Essentially a random draw but a little bit more entertaining.

This adds an interesting element too - if you want to, you can nominate a shitty player and hope you don't get them. Or you can all nominate good ones.

If there are any more questions let me know.

All good...

Gonna have to study these groups, squads and form pretty intently over the weekend.

Really looking forward to this one...

Does anybody know of a reliable website to see all the finalised squads?

I'm just going by the BBC group summaries... they update them once squads move from provisional to final.
