As many of you may already have noticed, our coverage for next month’s Euro 2012 tournament in Poland and Ukraine will also take in the Fantasy League Pro auction game. Yesterday saw us appeal for managers to fill the three Fantasy Football Scout leagues and, with only eight managers per league, the places quickly filled up. Here’s who made the cut:

FFScout League 1

Chairman: Mark.
Other participants: Boomslang, GiggingOrder, Eoindamann, Gummo88, Bozovac, Zunker, Rabsi1.

FFScout League 2

Chairman: Sir Paulos
Other participants: Shinoda, TommyJ, Gurka, Ginkapo, SuperDunny, Saram_, Mch.

FFScout League 3

Chairman: Andy
The Giggs Boson, Reshardo, The_sting, Michelin, Pulma. Drew006, Ralphypne.

The auction-based game seems to have caught the interest of many on the boards and with the game free-to-play, we intend to offer plenty coverage over the course of the tournament.

While we will obviously analyse the official Scout leagues and report on events as they unfold, we’d also like you to get involved.

For those looking to take part in the Fantasy League game, the following community leagues are currently looking for managers…

NoMunNoFun FFS
Sign-up Code: 43798

FFS Rogues
Sign-up Code: 43728

FFS-ronaldofreaks
Sign-up Code: 43716

Register for the game at www.fantasyleague.com and then click on Find League and enter the league code of your choice. The Chairman will then receive your application and let you know if you made the cut.

If you’ve set up a league and are looking for more managers or if you’ve already got a full quota and would like us to cover your league as part of our Euro 2012 write-up, give us a shout with the relevant details at euro@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk and we’ll be sure to include you in our subsequent articles.

      Rooney after Round 2, Young before that.
      For Spain, I would say David Silva if he will start, but he is not assured a start.

    According to Norwegian newspapers, Solskjær has a signed a new contract with Molde where he agrees to not apply for the Villa job and finish the two upcoming seasons n Molde, unless if he gets an offer from Man United, in which case he will be allowed to leave. Next season he will be allowed to talk to PL-clubs, but if he leaves, the PL-club would have to pay some kind of compensation-fee, unless its Man United, then he can go free of charge. He will also get some extra money from the owners to invest in a new striker for Molde.

      sensible move (except all that MUN stuff).

      OGS could be a very good PL manager for one of the teams outside the top 6 but first he needs to develop his management style which he can do in Norway.

      his first season was fantastic so lets hope he keeps it up.

      Hi Sam, stop lurking and get posting, if we were all lurkers scout would be dead.
      Team looks standard not sure if Abate starts. IMO assists could be more difficult to get because of the rules so maybe look to strengthen up front for definates goals, eg mullet/llorente who are in for the long haul and heading towards 5 goals , tbh the friendliest should reveal more , keep in mind the recovered balls rule 5=1pt. Looks good tho.

        thanks for the advice hvt. Haha, will endeavor posting more. Overwhelming with so many different posters throughout regular season. Looks like not as many with the EPL season over? Yeah I thought my strikers were weak. At the same time, I like my midfield: Nasri in particular with potential penalty taking. I think I might try and get some cash from the defense. Who to downgrade: Kadlec or Pischek? Alba stays... CBs aren't any cheaper. What about Zhirkov? Whose going to start in the centre with Berezusky injured? Alesksei?

      i'd say that good defenders are a better option.

      a lot of people are planning to play the 2-5-3 formation in the (slightly misguided) notion that their midfielders will perform like they do in FPL but the rules for an assist make it more difficult to score points in this game.

              You can sub players in for players that have not played, so no use in having 2 keepers playing on same day since you only have 1 keeper spot in your team.

              So you cant play a keeper, he scores 2, and then sub in the keeper that got 6.

              in short, your keepers need to play on diff days.

      If they score, or say, get an assist, it become a more difficult tactical decision as to whether you stick or twist.

          Well, I'm working on the belief that Premier League players flop at major tournaments. Therefore Podolski's your best bet.

          I suppose I'd consider:
          Szczesny
          Walcott
          Rosicky
          RVP

          But not:
          Bendtner
          Chamberlain
          Sagna
          Mertesacker
          Fabianski

          Hey, I have a soft spot for Podolski after he kicked my off to a great start in Euro 2008. Thanks to him I won my ML. In 2008 he was flying a bit under the radar.

          This time around I think everyone is aware of the Jerries and their talent.

          I will have to monitor friendlies, but I actually fancy Muller more this time. Podolski sometimes "gets lost"in a game where he doesn't feature or gets the ball, sort of 'lazy' if you know what I mean. Anyway that's what I remember from WC2010. He did have a good domestic season though.

      It just looks a little too risky for me ... not convinced that the below are all guaranteed start are they?

      Bonucci / Kuyt / Klose / Rommedahl / Reveillere

      Yeah, Rommedahl did well in Quals but surely he's the first man hauled off if they need to change things and we haven't had any quals for 6 months or more.

      1 or 2 of them may go on and do well but I'd much rather have Ibrahimovic, Robben & Jelavic.

      I know Klose did well in the qualifiers but I'd be surprised if he's ahead of Gomez / Muller / Podolski

        Bonucci is fine, as is Reveillere, contrary to opinion on here. Kuyt is nailed on, but may go for Cassano anyway. Klose is written off every tournament. It would be funny if it were not so sad. However, I may need the money, so he may be Podolski.

        Dennis is the only punt - and he may well score two in the first.

      lose Gerrard, he's over rated IMO and won't win you as many points in ratio to how much he is. I picked Yarmalenko maybe get Kuba. Then with the money left over discard of andrews for someone like Elm or McGeady

      Its different so thats good,
      But I would suggest a look at a few of the players.

      I think Olsson will probably struggle for points after week 1.
      And imo Welbeck/Rhommedahl will also struggle for points all tournament.

        Yup, bit amateurish of me... started filling my squad from the GK then Def, Mid etc. Got a bit short on cash when I reached the strikers but was quite happy with the overall team. Might take a bit of cash out of the Midfield to improve this situation. RVP?
