East Ruritania has joined!
Is it OK if I bring in some friends, Paul? I promise they're bad. But then again, history showed bad French people could easily beat good Irishmen. I'm asking Paul, but I'll take everyone's answer too. |

i haven't registered yet, but usually you get a certain budget to pick 11 players plus 3-4 substites. then you field 11 of them and each round you'll get awarded points for succesful actions (goals, assists, clean sheets, etc) and deducted points for yellow/red cards, penalty misses, etc.

Fancy picking French players?
Well... Keeper will be Lloris, who's really good, but the defense is weak; the basic defense will be Sagna-Gallas-Abidal-Evra; most likely to enter the game at the back is Squillacci. Midfield : Toulalan and Ribéry will most certainly play every game; the former hardly scores, he's a holding midfielder; with them Malouda and Gourcuff. Sub likely to join the party : Diaby. Strike force : Henry will be used as a substitute; Anelka ain't particularly happy up front on his own and has been used there in the last three games; subs : Gignac, who will shoot as often as he can, I like him, yet he hasn't had a great season compared to 2008-2009. I'd go with Cissé, he relishes being up front scoring tons of goals, but our beloved Domenech might not throw him in until the 80th minute. This being said, I'd have a look at Uruguay and Mexico too... |

What do you mean, no?
I'm not gonna pick any of them myself (until the final, when les Bleus beat whoever's not injury ravaged) but I'd have liked some of you to pick the right ones. I made an effort and chose some English players and US ones out of politeness (I hope both teams go through). For the same reason, I looked for Irish players too but I couldn't seem to find any. Well, you may as well forget all my genuine tips for the stubborn light-headed who might believe France's way to the second round is as easy as Italy's : Domenech, discovering his plans were not working is expected to change everything one more time 6 days before the first game. Too bad, France had played a different football. With similar results. Now, everything's up to astrology as far as who's to start and who's on the bench... Add to that that the team hasn't trained for two days now... Good way to avoid injuries... |

Ok....
joined. I hope nobody minds I'm doing this together with Spiritual Amnesia. We're both not really up to date in the football world, is Oliver Kahn still around ? :-) |

As a beginner I'm a little unsure about in game substitutions? If I read this correctly if player A plays on Monday and nets me 2 points but player B hasn't played yet his first game is say Thursday I can chance loosing the 2 points by putting player B on the pitch hopping he'll give me more than the 2 points that player A gave me. If player A is DNP coach's decision can I substitute for him?

If the premiership fantasy league was anything to go by, we're all best advised to copy everything Bertrand does
