Euro 2012 McDonald's Fantasy Football

Spain never score a lot of goals.

Forgot to see Buffon though.

6th in New Zealand. I'm 2319th.

I got as high as 11th in the World Cup one, which would've had a lot more New Zealander's playing it.

Wow. Fantasy football master I suppose.

 

[CG123]

Haha, RvP only got two points. I had the Danish keeper, so I won't even need to bring Casillas off the bench.

Good thing I didn't captain him.

Now on 6. If I didn't have Szczesny as my captain I could've done better with Ozil as it. Plus now I can't sub Given in...

Awesome. Pretty sure a number of managers here were presuming the Danes would concede atleast a couple, including me! Removed Agger only a couple of days back!

All that needs to occur now is to Benzema score a hat-trick and irritate me.

My defense has been el crapo, midfield great.

My defense has been el crapo, midfield great.

Nine of my 12 players who have played so far only scored 2 or 3 points, yet I've moved up to third equal in NZ. I'll more than likely drop down after tomorrow though, since I'm making three subs now.

It all pretty much comes down to goals and clean sheets, hence my other three players had a clean sheet, scored one goal, and scored two goals respectively, with my captain being the one who scored two goals which gave me a massive boost.

Redid my team with the wildcard in an effort to not come last. Could go either way with this team.

GK: Chalkias, Andersen
DEF: Pepe, Piszczek, Hummels, Debuchy, Cole
MID: Ozil, Shirokov, Blaszczykowski (C), Krohn-Dehli, Young
ATT: Jelavic, Di Natale, Benzema

Still no idea why I picked Koscielny when I knew he wasn't starting, and Olsson also. Also incorrectly used the subs, so subbed in players who scored less for players who scored more. Would be on 20+ now if it weren't for this.

 

[Haarithan]

Applied the wild card as well:

GK: Casillas, Andersen
DEF: Sergio Ramos (C3), Lahm, Terry, Boenisch, Mellberg
MID: Dzagoev (C1), Shirokov, Eriksen (C2), Ribery, Mandzukic
ATT: Jelavic, Ibrahimovic (C4), Lewandowski

Copying my keeper tactic.

Not a great day for me. Torossidis scored no points, and I didn't have any Cechs. I should've brought in Pilar for Andrews, and then dropped Torossidis for one of the cheaper Greece defenders who all scored more points.

I've now got seven players from group C as well...

Copying my keeper tactic.

lol no! Andersen's barely going to feature as my first choice, so why waste money on a proper second choice goalie? Hence went with the cheapest option available, which happened to be Andersen. As for Casillas, after watching the Ireland - Croatia match, I'm buzzing with confidence that the Spaniards won't let the Irish score on matchday 2. Pretty much why Ramos is in as well (note that I didn't have a single Spaniard in my XV for matchday 1).

 

[Bevab]

Dzagoev's a legend.

Predicted him to have a good Euro, which he has been exactly doing.

Anybody's gonna pick Rooney for the next matchday?
