Monoclinic 39 Posted May 31, 2010 Calling all world cup football fans (and world cup widows... show them you can give them a run for your money) Anyone care for a (free) gamble on a world cup fantasy football game? Now that we've got some time on our hands before compiling the next deathpool list we can get some vital list making practise in by compiling a list of eleven international footballers. A veritable authority, and rather shadowy figure, tells me that some of the better free games can be found here, here and here with sky seeming to be the most basic, then metro, then ronald mcfantasy the most hands-on. So perhaps, if there is interest, we go with either Sky or Metro? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Crossed 33 Posted May 31, 2010 . So perhaps, if there is interest, we go with either Sky or Metro? I don't give two shits about football, which is the reason I've been in a fantasy Premier League football thing for the last 6 years, with a mixture of actual friends and their friends I've never met. Last year 2nd of 22, this year 12th of 21. Knowing almost nothing about the sport, not having allegiance to any particular team, and not really caring too much about the results has given me many hours of great enjoyment including not the occasional Saturday-morning panic "shit! did I make my free transfer this week? Is Cech still my keeper?". I'm in, Mono! Whichever is the least annoying site.! This post is sponsored by... Alcohol, Inc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monoclinic 39 Posted June 7, 2010 The Cowboy is in the kraal. Accepted, as long as there's no . Only 03 days, 16 hours and 07 minutes to get that squad in. Even for our Antipodean friends who seem somewhat under represented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted June 7, 2010 I'm in too after a bit of a hitch with the site displaying my real name, hopefully sorted now. Once my lot discover they have a Scottish 'manager' expect them to turn into a bunch of selfish glory hunters, refusing to pass to each other while shouting 'it's ma baw'. They will also endeavour to spectacularly miss the opponents net at every opportunity, while easily targeting their own. The opening match of France 1998 still gives me nightmares.....

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted June 7, 2010 I'm thinking about it. Couldn't do any worse than on Xpert 11. How long do I have to decide? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honez 79 Posted June 8, 2010 Okay count me in. Having never been in any kind of fantasy football league, this is all new to me. I think I've picked my team correctly, but what happens next as far subs and stats and stuff, time will only tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monoclinic 39 Posted June 8, 2010 I'm thinking about it. Couldn't do any worse than on Xpert 11. How long do I have to decide? 3 days 6 hours 11 minutes, according to the Sky site. The others, you're all accepted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josco 49 Posted June 9, 2010 Josco has jumped in (pending approval) I have never done this before, and apart from Rooney and Gerrard and ...er...um gosh...... I do not know a single player so I simply clicked the mouse around the selections and hoped for the best. Josco's Jumpers for the cup! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
