Fantasy FrogBall is a competition that will run alongside the Euro 2016 competition this summer. All 96 spaces have already been filled and the teams are ready to go! This is just a place for banter and questions regarding the tournament without irritating the other thousands of people that use this website.

Rules

Points Scoring

Your total score is made up of your four members Fantasy team Gameweek scores combined and you will go head to head with a different nation every week, in the same set up as the Euro 2016 tournament. Like the actual tournament, a win will earn your team three points, a draw one and a loss zero, however, the top six teams each Gameweek will earn a bonus point, whether you have lost or won your tie (this threshold may be raised/lowered if it is found to be too easy/difficult after the first Gameweek).

Group Placing’s

In the group, point’s ties are decided by overall points difference, which is decided like goal difference. The four highest third place teams will go through to the last 16 in a format that will be the same as the actual tournament.

Ties

Ties will be decided by whichever team has the highest single points scorer of the eight members across two teams – if these are tied it goes to the second highest scorer, and so on.

Spreadsheet

I have created a spread sheet for the whole competition. This will show team scores, match results, group standings and individual scores for each week of the tournament. I will also be writing an article or hot topic for each Gameweek. Good luck!

    Thanks for setting this up and running it. Great competition and takes time and effort to run it so fair play. A special mention is also deserved for the formatting of the spreadsheet. Great work.

    Great stuff FFFrog...No doubt a huge amount of work, but very much appreciated!

    Only 4 points in our tie with the Turks...C'mon Croatia!

      My first decent score today for Turkey, with 4 or 5 still to play tomorrow...

      Good job it's a low scoring game though!

        Hey mate, remember you from Jon's Fantrax league last year!

        It's pretty tight, going to go down to the wire with this evening's games I think!

          Well I certainly haven't added any Turkish delight this evening!

    Polska... Biało-czerwoni!

    Poland dominating N. Ireland both in FFFRog's competition and on the pitch... Let's keep it up! 🙂

    Huge thanks for organizing it, FFFrog.

    Just one last push and we shouldg get some pointso on the board.

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Being able to see your opponents' team would make things even more interesting. Would it be possible to attach Euro fantasy team name to the FFS username in the spreadsheet, FFFrog?

    1. FFFrog
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I can - didn't know if people considered this private information or not!

      1. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'd be happy with this to allow for easier scouting!

        Also just dropped you a mail, but I think pompeyfan on team Croatia scored 53 points but spreadsheet has him down for 51. Not a big deal as it doesn't affect anything except our GD!

        Cheers

          Sorted! Sorry.

            Great. Now I can see how my team mates are doing! Thanks

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        You can track down most of the teams easily anyway, looking at the spread sheet and the number of points they scored, and then finding them in the league on the official uefa site. As Iconić said below - it would help scouting and make things more exciting. 🙂

    Fantasy FrogBall Results - GW1

    Group A
    A very tight group - just 29 points between 1st and 4th! The highest scorer's were France, who lie second due to Points Difference. The two highest scorers in the group playing each other has played into the hands of Albania - but can they keep it up?

    Group B
    Congratulations Slovakia. The highest scorers of the week swept aside second highest scorers Wales by 47 points to earn a bonus point in a group that also holds the lowest scorers in the tournament, Russia. The luckiest team of the week was in this group - England needed just 183 points to beat Russia.

    Group C
    Another tight group headed by a strong Ukrainean performance that also saw them collect a bonus point, sweeping aside the groups lowest scorers in Germany. NI managed to beat Poland by just 7 points - next week's ties will likely see a very high scoring game between Ukraine and NI!

    Group D
    Croatia emerged as winners by just 8 points to the group's second highest scorers, Turkey. Spain should be worried for their next two games - the matches look too close to call!

    Group E
    Belgium, Sweden and losing side Italy all picked up bonus points in the highest scoring group of the tournament so far - Belgium and Sweden both won their games with 244, and Italy were the unluckiest team of the first round, losing with a score of 233. The highest individual scorer of the first round was Belgium's Vougie Dipond.

    Group F
    Portugal collected the final bonus point with a 20 point win against Iceland, although Austria's 36 point win over Hungary shows that next week's tie will be a cracker!

    Good luck to everyone competing!

      Aaaand we have qualified.Don't know who the rest are either, but great job everyone. Seems like we are topping the group too.

  19. Cheeseoid

    Not such a great week for Slovakia but by my calculations we are lookinga t a 30 point lead over Russia right now. After autosubs and yes amazingly one member of Russia does look like having autosubs

  20. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    By my calculations Slovakia have beaten Russia that must mean we have qualified for the knockout stages already.

    Great work my Slovakian chums.

    It must be time to do the famous hat dance!

    I've got an OR of 4, we better have beaten England, my OR didn't help with our spanking by Slovakia!

    Fantasy Frogball Results - GW2

    Apologies about the lack of daily updates - we are back on schedule as of now!

    Group A
    Switzerland's bonus point win over Romania took them up to 2nd place behind double winners Albania, who sit on 6 points. France are still fighting for a space in the knockout stages, but on the recent Swiss performance they may be returning empty handed.

    Group B
    Wale's 24 point bonus win over England was largely down to AdamTheyIDo, who currently sits 4th overall in the world! Slovakia's narrow victory over a resurgent Russian side was enough to push them top of the group for now.

    Group C
    Northern Ireland defeated former leaders Ukraine by 7 points, earning themselves a bonus point as they took a 3 point lead over the group. Poland also put some much needed points on the board with a big victory over a low scoring Germany side.

    Group D
    Like Group E last week, this group saw 3 bonus points earned - for the highest points scorers of the week, Croatia, Turkey and Spain. Croatia's point difference took a giant positive swing thanks to their destruction of the Czech Republic, and thanks to Turkey's big score they tie with Spain on 4 points overall.

    Group E
    Belgium are powering through this group! A second bonus points win in a row means they appear safely through. Although they currently sit in second place due to a superior points difference, Sweden are looking over their shoulder for an Italy side playing bottom side Ireland, who have 0 points and a points difference of -94!

    Group F
    All 4 teams in this group scored within 6 points of each other this week, with Austria and Hungary both narrowly winning their ties on 237 points apiece, to stand first and third respectively in the group.

    Good Luck!
