World Cup Fantasy League (Spoilers Ahoy!)

Post by Who Shot Sam? »

Come one, come all! Just nine days and 11 hours or so until the World Cup kicks off in Germany.

We will be using the metro.co.uk league, which includes all players and is very simple to navigate, but if you need any help, lemme know. Code to join the league is:

38398-17986

Just go here:

http://fantasyfootball.metro.co.uk/

Then click on "Get Started Creating Your Team", choose your players within the allotted budget, then click on Leagues and enter the code provided above. Good luck!

Me too, but give me a week to study every player in the tournament first.

Actually, scrap that last comment. Fake Madrid has gone international and they're in! However, weekend internet access will probably put a spanner in the works.

So when are you coming over to claim your dinner MDM? :wink:

And Otis - I realise lack of weekend internet access kind of hinders my chances but it's the participation that counts is it not? If I had to pay to enter I wouldn't bother :lol:

Signed up, checked out the price. seems easier than Prem with same cash, similar pricing of players and only 12 to buy. Am waiting till Thurs before I make my mind up. Seems to be heavily UK-subscribed or at least Prem influenced to judge by the percentages given to Prem players. Great, I'm lining up some 1% talent for competitive advantage whilst the Prem names tough it out on the bench!

Old Hammers Pathetic makes it four teams, for worse or for better.

Though I was choosing my team not knowing what players get points for. But then, I've made a life out of this sort of blissful, unadulturated ignorance.

Where? Germany? Argentina? USA? :?

And MDM - that day can't come soon enough!

Since registering I've changed my team about 6 times!
