    Oh, and cheers to jpg75 for creating a thread to commence this season. As always, I'm looking forward to it, and also cheers to blackjack for being the de facto organizer thus far, I hope we can actually fill the league. :)

    You can pick from:

    Caen
    PSG
    Lyon
    Le Mans
    Le Havre
    Valenciennes
    Nice

    As you can see from the posts above yours, it's not so much fantasy football as a prediction contest. You pick the results for each week. Your game is against whoever is controlling your team's real-life opponent. You get one point for a correct result and two points for an exact scoreline. At the end of each weekend results are tabulated and a table formed. All you have to do is put your predictions in this thread before the start of the first match each weekend.

    Happy to have you onboard, buddy, and blackjack, I'll actually take PSG instead of Rennes if Carefree 95 decides not to do this this season. A reminder, to myself as much as anybody, that the season kicks off at 3 PM Eastern here in the States, on this Saturday, with all matches except Lyon-Toulouse, which is the day after.

    I probably should have taken PSG since they were the best team left but I figured I'd let a PSG fan have them. I dont have a good feeling about Nice at all. I think they will be awfull but we'll see. I wouldnt mind taking Rennes actually if they're available now, if not I'll stick with Nice.

    OK so it's PSG for SuperSebGrimaldi and Rennes for Sportboy333. I'm also switching guignol to Lyon, since Allez Lyonnais has not yet showed up. He can still play but he'll have to pick from the remaining teams.

    frasermc - Nancy
    Chims - Saint Etienne
    mamitchell - Lorient
    Neeto - Lille
    guignol - Lyon
    toulousain - Toulouse
    blackjack - Nantes
    jpg75 - Auxerre
    Allez Chelsea - Bordeaux
    Reignking - Monaco
    SuperSebGrimaldi - PSG
    prvev - Marseille
    Pierre-Henri - Sochaux
    Sportboy333 - Rennes

    We can still pick up players as the season goes along. For those who post often in this forum, you should PM some of the regulars who haven't joined up and see if they want in.

    Two seasons ago, Ganu ran this and it was a really good game. If everybody gets their picks in on time it's fun, but if people don't then there's no point to it. So get your picks in every week. Look out for Friday fixtures - they often cause people to be late.

    This week we have:

    Auxerre (jpg75) - Nantes (blackjack)
    Bordeaux (Allez Chelsea) - Caen (vacant)
    Le Havre (vacant) - Nice (vacant)
    Le Mans (vacant) - Lorient (mamitchell)
    Monaco (Reignking) - PSG (SuperSebGrimaldi)
    Nancy (frasermc) - Lille (Neeto)
    Rennes (Sportboy333) - Marseille (prvev)
    Sochaux (Pierre-Henri) - Grenoble (vacant)
    Valenciennes (vacant) - Saint Etienne (Chims)
    Lyon (guignol) - Toulouse (toulousain)

    Now the buck is passed to SuperSebGrimaldi for results and standings. Good luck everybody.

    EDIT: One more rules clarification - if you don't submit or submit late, your score is double the number of goals your team scores that week. You won't usually win with that unless you're playing a vacant team, but it does give you a chance and makes it so that forgetting once or twice won't ruin your hopes for the title.

    I believe that in the past, vacant teams have scored double their goals for any week. i.e. if Le Mans score 2 this week, mamitchell would have to predict five games correctly to beat them. This is done so that playing a vacant team does not become an automatic win.

    Hey blackjack, I'm curious, what did Ganu do that made it, well more fun, did he do anything differently or a bit more than we are doing now? Or was it simply due to more participation from those involved?

    In any event, I am definitely excited that we have more people now. Cheers to all! :)

    I have no idea what he did but he was probably the best poster who was around here at that time. You remind me a lot of him. There was a Rennes fan who used to post here(Nabawan?) I'm surprised he's not here to claim Rennes. Oh well its my gain I guess.

    More participation, that's all. Last year was no good because there weren't enough players to make it worth the while, in my opinion.

    Also, timely updates on the standings and results were good for keeping everybody interested.

    Well, I promise to do my best on getting both of those out Sunday night. Oh, and thank you for the compliment, Sportboy, I miss Nanbawan too, as well as ilv2 who was a PSG supporter, I think.

    Yeah I feel weird taking Rennes when there was a known Rennes supporter who posted here. If he somehow shows up from now until midnight tonight, I'll be more then happy to give him Rennes and I'll just take whatevers left but if he's not here before tommorrow then they are mine. :cool:
