For those of you who like the CYKI-style team management game, the Euro 2004 Fantasy Football Challenge will appeal to you.

There are a few dfferences though:

Players are valued depening on the ranking of their country (5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 Million).

You can have up to 4 players from any one country but the total value of your squad may not exceed 45m.

You have to pick a 12 player squad and unlimited transfers can be made at no cost.

As the game is sponsored by McDonald's.... the winner gets a year's supply of Big Macs!

Seriously,

So what are you waiting for?

Re: Prediction League standings

Michael Le Houllier increases his lead at the top...... but World Cup leapfrogs Tom Olsson to keep on his tail. Meanwhile, Timothy Bouks pulls out of the relegation zone to join the chasing pack.

Will the three games in November change anything?

 

The Road To Portugal -- Fantasy Football

Our league leaders (1800-WorldCup.com) were let down by Bulgaria conceding a goal to Andorra and dropped 11 points because of it.

Other teams produced a better scoring week but 1800-WorldCup.com still managed to move up to 376 overall.

Teams who didn't transfer (like PA Blues) lost considerable ground and may well lose interest come the next matchday in March, 2003.

Just to make sure we're in with a chance, even if we miss the next deadline, the World Cup crew have already changed their provisional line-up for next year!

Anyway, enough from me...... here's a chance for the rest of you to ponder on the look of things
