Fantasy League’s Free Pro Version of the Euro 2012 game is now live. This is a great opportunity to try out a fully fledged auction game, with Fantasy managers plotting and battling for players over an offline or online auction, and then bidding for new players as the tournament progresses.

How Do I get involved?

Join a Scout League
Join our Scout Leagues as a manager. Myself and Sir Paulos have already formed leagues and we will look to form further leagues when full. We’ll keep you posted in future articles on this.

*Edit* We’ve now filled three Scout Leagues up and invites to those involved will be emailed very shortly. We will keep you posted on any new Scout Leagues that open up but, any community member wishing to open an FFS league can find details below.

Form your own league
The other option is to set up a league as a Chairman. This enables you to set your own auction date and custom rules. The Fantasy League are recommending that leagues include around eight players. You can, of course, use our comment boards to help set up leagues. Even better, if you set up a league and want us to cover it, then email me at mark@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk and we’ll help advertise your league if you’re still looking for new players. Community leagues should be set up with “FFS” proceeding their league name.

Chairmen are fully responsible for the leagues they set up: Fantasy Football Scout won’t be getting involved in ensuring that these run smoothly, so if you set up a league, ensure you’re committed to running it before recruiting managers.

Tell us more…

The Fantasy League has a pretty extensive Game Guide published here.

Here’s some key points you’ll want to know…

The Auction

In Fantasy League Pro, any one player can only play for one team. The auction date is set by the chairman of the league and can either be done face-to-face in your favoured boozer, or the game will run an online auction for your league, processing the bids and allocating the players.

The chairman can set up the league and assign teams and local rules in the League Lobby, before entering the auction and setting a deadline for all teams to input their first set of bids.

Each manager in the league will put in their secret bids using the Online Auction Engine, entering the maximum price they are willing to bid for each player.

Once the deadline passes, the chairman hits ‘Process Bids’ and the system reveals each manager’s bids, assigning each player to the team of highest bidding manager.

The league chairman will then set the bid deadline for Round Two of the auction, and the process continues in bidding rounds until all squads are complete.

Once the Chairman has set up the Auction Rules and the first bid deadline, managers can start bidding for players. Managers enter their players with bids alongside them via their own secure bidding page. Before being accepted, bids are checked to make sure they follow the rules of the game and the auction league rules (formations, country quotas etc) set by the chairman.

The Auction Status page includes Budget details, Free Agents list and a Bulletin board for up to date online banter. Basically it allows all league members to see how much money managers have left and whether they are yet to submit their bids for that round.

Scoring

Just like any Fantasy game, your players will score points based on their real-life performances in each match, with the classic Fantasy League scoring system that awards points for goals, assists and clean sheets in place. Double points are scored during the Knock Out stage, making players from nations that progress all the more precious.

Custom Rules

For those that want to make a quick start, there are some default league rules when you set up your auction to allow you to just get things moving. However, there are also an array of custom settings that the Chairman can tinker with. These included: setting your own team budgets and transfer window rules, select which formations will be available to managers, choose how many players each manager can select from any one real-life nation, a quota which you could increase as the tournament progresses and teams get knocked out.

Default Settings for Leagues are as follows:

Squad Size:15 players per team.
Country Quota:Two players maximum from any real-life country.
Auction Budget:£100 million.
Tournament Budget:£25 million, plus any budget left over from the auction.
Bid Increments:£0.5 million increments for all bids.
Transfers: Maximum of 20 transfers in the tournament; maximum of 10 transfers in Group Stage; maximum of 10 transfers in Knockout Stage.
Formations: All three formations (4-4-2, 4-3-3, 5-3-2) available.

  Yeah, and they only needed Bayern to blow it. Pretty easy too when you can drop $50 million on a player and have him do nothing for almost a year and yet still make wins happen. Must be nice.

        btw answered your question about tie order.
        
        It means if we submit equal bids for a player, you will always win, and I will always lose. Shoddy luck on my part drawing the short straw.

I run an auction style game based on the Premier League. We have just finished our third season, growing year on year, and are looking to expand with a couple more divisions next year. You can either join an existing league, or have a league entirely to yourself for your pub / football club / school / work etc.

So, if you like the look of the auction style league in the article above, and fancy joining something similar for the Premier League 2012/13, then send me your details to ian_spittle@hotmail.com and I will send you some information.

Cheers.

My friend is running a Euro League where you just select 16 players, 1 from each team, which you keep the same for the whole tournament, could anyone give me some help as to which players to choose?

  Repost it is then:
  
  I think the best bet would be defenders from Spain, Italy, England, Russia, Greece, Ireland & Czech Republic.
  
  Then: Ozil, Sneijder/Blascz, Ukraine/Sweden, Denmark, Portugal in midfield
  
  France (benzema) Ukraine/Sweden & Poland/Holland in attack

Its crazy how slow the pages move now compared to about a month ago! I’m used to refreshing and having like 5-6 news pages lol. I rather like it this way though I must say. Room for actual conversations to happen!

Having said that I don't know if I want to be running multiple sites/leagues but I may give this a shot.

Who do Liverpool think they are approaching Frank de Boer for their manager's job?! As if he would consider that. He was asked by the media about the Barca job when it became available and he said he wouldn't want it, he wants to spend 10 years at Ajax first.

  All that talent at Ajax to work with and develop, De Boer's attachment to the club and CL football. Not a chance of him even considering the Liverpool job. They need a wake up call and realise their current standing in the game.

How amazing has the January move turned out for Gary Cahill. He would have been relegated to the Championship but instead he has won the FA Cup and CL. Football is brilliant for that. It's just so random how things turn out.

    He wasn't playing great towards the end for Bolton but he was probably distracted with his move in January. Had he stayed I think the defence would have been more resilient and they could have picked up a few more points so yeah I think they would have stayed up if he never left.

    I think losing their best two creative midfielders (Holden and Chun Young lee, and having another midfielder nearly die on you probably didn't help). Cahill knew he was signing their death warrant when he left, very selfish.

      Na you can't fault the lad for signing for Chelsea. He worked hard at his game and earned his opportunity for a big move. You never know if you are going to get another opportunity like this and he took it. Football can be a cruel game and there is a flip side to that where football clubs just bin players when they don't perform. It's just the nature of the beast.

well cry me a river Torres! how can he say he wasnt given a chance and that promises were broken?he is the only to blame if he was consistently outperformed by a 34 year old meant to be past his prime. the sense of entitlement from some of these players is incredible. Ive always felt with him that their were other reasons beyond football that contributed to his poor form. Unless he sorts that out he may never be the same player.
