Picklive have today gone live with their Euro 2012 Tournament offering, including a guaranteed prize pot of £2500 in their big tournament game and a total of £25,000 in prizes across all their games during the summer football feast.

You’ll find tournaments for individual matches, each group, each round of matches and the tournament as a whole. Picklive’s big Euro 2012 Tournament game is £15 to enter with a minimum guaranteed prize pot of £2500.

You can also create and host your own Tournaments with your mates and colleagues and Fantasy Football Scout have already got on board with a couple underway.

We’ve launched a free to play tournament for bragging rights which you can join via this link, or, if you fancy a flutter, we also have a £5 entry tournament right here, which will hopefully generate a decent prize pot. These are private tournaments, open only to our community and we’ll be covering progress in our coverage during Euro 2012.

The game itself couldn’t be simpler to play. You just need to select 11 players, with a limit of three from each country. There are no budgets in play, so it’s about mixing your eleven using some assured heavy-hitters, with some differentials that might just edge you ahead in the prize ladder.

Having done your homework on your Fantasy lineups for other games, Picklive Tournaments offer a great opportunity to turn your research in to some cash. Take it from me, a cheeky gamble on Emmerson Boyce and Pablo Zabaleta earned me a share of the top prize in their recent end of season game. I just know there plenty more winners out there in our community.

You’ll need a Picklive account to play and, if you enter the ‘ffscout’ Promo code when you make your first deposit, you’ll get a free £5 in your account.

Picklive accounts are only available to those aged 18 or over and, while the game is playable in some countries outside of the UK and Ireland, Picklive’s terms and conditions apply. That includes a fee of £20 for any prize withdrawals from a non-UK registered credit card.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I like Xavi.

      He has more goals and assists than Iniesta this season, and fewer people have him.

      Given-Chalkias
      Piszscek-Anyukov-Alba- and 2 nonplayers.
      Sneijder-Shirokov-Blaszyszykowski-Ozil and 1 non player.
      Benzema-RVP-Podolski

      Looks good to me. But how sure are we on Alba, Podolski and RvP to start? Could be wise to have at least one of the cheap players be a player who actually plays.

      And, with how the Netherlands-amtch is going, you could save quite a bit with going for Afellay over Scneijder, although it's quite the gamble...

        Greece and Russia are likely to be the tightest defenses in that group. And I don't want to overhedge in Group A.

      Knew little about Perisic, but doing some simple searches and he looks gold. 27 starts, 7 goals for Dortmund. He must be pretty handy to even get in the Dortmund team.

      Missing some Group D captains and picks. Lack of France is probably not great. Podolski > Benzema would fix you right up.

        Wanna stick with Podolski, even though there's nothing to go on from him in the friendlies I think, like Klose, he's a big tournament player!

      I like Hart as pick. England are very solid defnesivly and restrict the opponents to long shots. The French players love taking long shots so this gives Hart the oppurtunity to shine and earn save points 🙂 I've no room for personally but nice. Your team is ok, but i'd downgrade players like Piszczek, Kadlec and Boateng to players like Perquis, Strinc and Selassie. This will allow you to upgrade Andrews.

      Nope 🙂 Only one more question to you about Tv2sporten Euro manager.

      Isn't only 16 transfers for all matches together very little ? 🙁 *mad at the people who made it*

        I haven't looked too much at it yet, will wait until Tuesday after my last exam or when I'm hungover on the couch the next day.. 😛

        Is there a transfer limit per day like in the PL-manager-game? Nevertheless, there's 7 game weeks in total, which makes for about 2+ transfers per week which I think is more than enough. 😉

          No it's 6 GW's. And when the quarters are ready you want many people from their. And then it's the semis. And then it's the finals.

          What do you think is the best? Making many transfers during the group stages or many transfers in the SLUTTSPILL ?

            Also it's no limit for transfers for each round.

    Thoughts on Spain: They will struggle for goals as Villa has scored 70-80% of their goals in the previous two major tournaments. At last WC: Iniesta goals: 2, Xavi goals: 0. Iniesta caps/goals: 64/11, Xavi 108/10. Age I: 28 X: 32.

      depends on if Llorente or Torres can step up. As it happens I am investing in Alba and that is it. Spain simply do not score a lot, then won all their matches in the last wc (bar 1) 1-0.

        Portugal will be pretty poor anyway. Won't be seeing them past the groups.

          yeah this is true. Will still take a 1 week wc punt on CR7 in GW2 though, then he's out for Rooney.
