  1. We round-off our Euro 2012 coverage with a review of the Scout Leagues in the Fantasy League Pro Game – our little experimental dabble with auction leagues. We had three Scout divisions running, each with a contributor amongst the community participants. You won’t be too surprised to hear that, in all three cases, those contributors [...]

  2. We begin our final round-up of the Euro 2012 tournament by casting an eye over the official Scout Leagues that have taken place over the last month.

    Scout Notes – The Final

    Filed under: Euro 2012 - Posted by: Paul

    So much for boring. Slated for their displays in the lead-up to last night’s game, Spain silence the critics and produce a masterclass to sweep aside Italy and storm to victory in the Euro 2012 final. Jordi Alba, Xavi and Fernando Torres are the main protagonists for Fantasy managers as the 4-0 win proves just [...]

    Captain Poll – Final

    Filed under: Euro 2012 - Posted by: Paul

    No more stick or twist, then. With only Sunday’s final between Spain and Italy to come now, Fantasy managers have just one shot to get their armband options right. Luckily, we’ll have the team sheets beforehand, affording us the chance to tinker and make last-minute alterations to our lineups before the 7.30pm deadline.

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Jan Vertonghen outlines what he feels is his best position for Andre Villas-Boas
