PP World Cup Fantasy Football - Sign Up!

[Bitman]

Hi,

As I said I would I have organised a PP Fantasy Football League for the FIFA World Cup. Here are instructions on how to join:


(1) Go to : http://fantasyfootball.metro.co.uk/

(2) Register!

(3) Read Terms and Conditions and if you do, agree! (A copy ot the T&C: http://fantasyfootball.metro.co.uk/M/showtac.mc)

(4) Pick your team (Unlimited changes can be made until the first deadline which is 16:30 BST - 09 Jun, 2006)

(5) Go to the 'Leagues' tab.

(6) You have to join a private league. The code for the PP Fantasy Football League is:

38841-7078

Note: You can make unlimited transfers until the first deadline. After that you can only make a limited amount. For details, see: http://fantasyfootball.metro.co.uk/M/help.mc?category=transfers

I'd also advise you to read the rules and look through the general information as I'm sure it would be helpful to you. (Rules: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/rules.html)

-------------------------------------------------------------

I will ask the admin to allocate me some titles for the leader so get at it lads and join up. This time no excuses from those who are too lazy to sign up on time!

 

[HAFRIDI]

Signing up ...One thing, please remember ur up against me before signing up

 

[Bitman]

Signing up ...One thing, please remember ur up against me before signing up

You probably would have given me a good run for my money had you joined on time.

At least now I have a real challenge!

 

[HAFRIDI]

I have to say the budget + worth of players is not as tight as the Fantasy prem, all my players are well known, something the Fantasy prem lacked

 

[Bitman]

I agree. I looked at a few sites but this was best because of its simplicity. WIth some you had to update your team everyday and another had players in the WC only from the Premier League.

 

[zushy_786]

I've signed up now

 

[Rob H]

will sign up later in the day.

 

[Bitman]

Nice on guys. Oh and while your at it spread the word and all?

 

[snazir6]

Im there Hitman..

 

[ZM]

[ImranR]

I'm in

 

[bilal]

im gunna try one of these today, never done it before

 

[Saj]

I'd like to encourage PPers to sign up for this, as Hitman puts in a lot of effort in organising these leagues on PakPassion.

I'll be submitting my team soon - wooden spoon here we come.

 

[Oxy]

I'm trying to join - What are the figures after the price? Eg Lehman 6.5 21 ?

21% of people have selected Lehman.....

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Im still thinking whether i should sign up? since i wont be able to update it, rather avoid the embarrasment

 

[zushy_786]

[HAFRIDI]

[zushy_786]

Who's the unlucky guy

 

[Has]

[Has]

[Jimmy two-times]

joined up and ready to whoop some ass!!

 

[Rob H]

Rob's team is in.

 

[z10]

i joined the premiership one, never changed the team and ended in the bottom half.

Never again!

 

[Has]

The thing about this one is that you can only choose players from the Premiership, there’s hardly any choice, and everyone’s teams are going to be similar. I’m trying to find one that includes all world cup players. But ill join this one soon.

Nope. In this one you can choose players from all leagues and countries!

 

[HAFRIDI]

You can choose any player that will feature in the WC

 

[Has]

Nice one HITMAN, I thought it was the same one we used for the Premier League, in the World Cup version you can only have EPL player that are in the World Cup. I was bit annoyed about that one.

Nice one.

Team entered - boy that was tough !

In this site, they have a very generous budget. In a lot of formats you wouldn't be able to buy that many superstars.

I've entered my team but I will decide my final squad soon before the WC starts.

[Jimmy two-times]

[Bitman]

[snazir6]

so far so good...

 

[Bitman]

I have picked a bad team and I don't think I will win this.

snazir is looking like an early favourite.

 

[HAFRIDI]

why the hell didnt Baros play!Kovac?

My hope is on Ronny d, lucio,alonso now and henry whos playing right now!

I got nothing for c ronaldo, he was my captain also !!

 

[HAFRIDI]

Transfers deadline- Game round 2

transfers will be active for Game Round 2 as long as they are confirmed by 19:30 BST - 14 Jun, 2006.

 

[Bitman]

Injured, I think.

Thanks for the reminder.

 

[snazir6]

still looking good...wheres GA?

 

[Jimmy two-times]

hitman do you get 4 transfer per round or do you get 4 transfers period?

 

[HAFRIDI]

still looking good...wheres GA?

Back home..gettin hitched

 

[Bitman]

hitman do you get 4 transfer per round or do you get 4 transfers period?

4 per round I think.

Check the rules to be sure.

 

[snazir6]

Its hotting up at the top.

 

[Bitman]

Yeh it will be interesting. I think it be close all the way.

 

[Bitman]

After first round:

 

[Bitman]

Don't know what its so tiny.

Get your magnifying glasses out!

 

[HAFRIDI]

waheyyy some consolation for me, ive got the most points in this gameweeek so far, 11

 

[Bitman]

lolz

 

[Saj]

How do the transfer periods work. You are allowed 4 transfers in the whole of the group matches ?

 

[Bitman]

No 4 per phase. You're given deadlines. Basically the first phase ended when all the teams had played once. Second will end when every team has played two.

I think you'll get to change your whole change after the group stages.

Check the rules though to be sure.

 

[HAFRIDI]

FInally getting the points underway, 53 points with sheva and Alonso still to play in their games..if only i had someone else as captain instead of Klose!

 

[HAFRIDI]

Only 16 points seperates me and 5th place..so its all good

 

[HAFRIDI]

My mates just joined

 

[HAFRIDI]

Yessssss Sheva scored!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

i havent made a transfer yet!, somehow im third, best get cracking with transfers, having maxi,torres helped!

 

[HAFRIDI]

Took close off for torres last night..and Klose scores

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Took close off for torres last night..and Klose scores

Torres is in line to be rested against saudi arabia thats why i transferred him out!
i'm gutted as i transferred out big ron for lukas podolski - miss out on 1 goal there


)

somehow my ronaldo transfer didnt go through so he stayed in for podolski!

 

[snazir6]

i bought torres and adriano in..both not playing..what a joke..dont these manaers know we got fantasy teams to manage..plus i made adriano captain saab..

i listened to what luis aragones said after spain beat tunisia - but he lied to me, first he said that all players will be changed bar iker casillas, now it turns out that canizares will play!

 

[Nawazb]

How do u change a formation?

 

[HAFRIDI]

Nawaz just take on of ur defenders off by that lil arrow button under it and drag the player on sub in(striker best )

 

[HAFRIDI]

I still had my best players like C ronaldo, torres, alonso an they hardly played!!

altho sheva and henry scored

Ive brought an eng mid in now in place of park ji and took kovac out too, to raise me funds

 

[Easa]

Is it too late to join?
