Mancityfans.net World Cup 2010 Fantasy Football

[CityGer]

Well folks, the festival of football is just days away and it's time to show off your knowledge of the game and predict who the stars of the summer will be. I thought it would be good to have our own league to add an extra bit of interest so I've set one up for us on Sky Sports.

The league is there (Mancityfans.net) just click on the link, create your team then select private leagues and enter the pin below.

The rules are fairly simple and are explained in full within the link but here is a brief summary.

No Transfer budget.
You can select a maximum of two players per nation.
You can make 15 substitutions during the group stages and 15 in the knock out stages.
Your team can be tweaked as many times as you like until the tournament begins.
Point scoring is based around goals, assist, clean sheets etc. Explained in full on the site.



Top prize is £5k in cash and there are various other prizes for finishing in the top ten.

I'll type a quick summary each week to keep everyone updated on who's hot and who's not.

Good luck Blues.

[PoC]

obviously no rags as per :)

[WiganBlue]

I've entered 'All The King's Men'. I reckon that's the winning team.

[King Kev]

I'm in, well I'm pending actually but confident I will be accepted.

[Blueboylewis]

Another good idea and i will have a proper look at it later on. Busy at the moment :)

[Fidel Castro]

Find it a bit strange there's no budget whatsoever so you can for example have a forward line of Torres, Villa, Messi.

I'm in, well I'm pending actually but confident I will be accepted.

He will always be a rag in my eyes, but can see him knocking in a few during the group stage.

I reckon it's up to you. If you can live with yourself having put him in your side then that's up to you ;o)

Only if you've got David James up front. Although no one in their right mind would do that.
