Fantasy League Pro – The Wrap Up

1,248 Comments
Share

With today’s deadline looming across all the Fantasy games, your lineups should be close to being finalised – your Fantasy League pro auctions now complete.

I put the final piece in my 15-man squad with the capture of Mario Balotelli on Wednesday evening, he’ll work in a dubious partnership with Robin Van Persie to carry my hopes over the group stages.

Of course, the League Chairman should now have moved their games on and paved the way for sealed bidding to start on transfers. I’ve set my league to allow transfers after every set of Group matches, with a first deadline at 10pm on June 11 – I’m limiting bids to 5 per round with 20 over the tournament as a whole. Your chairman might have done different – that’s certainly one of the interesting elements of the Pro game.

Chairman can set your sealed bids deadline for the first round of transfers via their Chairman’s Office, by clicking on Sealed Bids. Here you can set a deadline for managers to make bids for the remaining free agents. You go back to this screen on the deadline to process the bids – watch out for any bids made after the deadline when you do. By default, managers can make unlimited transfers over the tournament – if you want to restrict that, you can do so, again via the Chairmans Office. This initial screen is also where a Chairman can change the cap on the number of players per country – I’m tweaking mine to 4 after the group stages are complete.

If there are any Chairman struggling to move their game on past the auction phase, due to final bids not being made or teams failing to make bids, then they should contact prosupport@fantasyleague.com asap. Provide details of your division id (available in the url of your league page) and the team id’s effected (available in the url of the teams in question) and they will resolve the issue so you can move you games on in time for today’s kick-off.

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

    Mark & myself won't be doing a press conference this week, but instead here's something....

    From: Salma Hayek
    To: Drinky from Dubai ; Ross the Richcola
    Date: June 8 2012
    Subject: Zanks You Boys!

    Bonjour (I am learning French),

    Firstly, zank you very much for the money. The 2.1 million pounds is arrived on my bank account and I hereby conform my role as a spy to you. Below you will find some secrets before Euro Cup start.

    Last night, after ENR sleep off, I happened to login to his Gmail account and happened to see his mail have a few strategies with Mark. I can tell you he planned to wedge his team’s bets based on Mark’s team. They also discuss about have as many armbands as possible. What that mean? I think they use the computer too much and need arm rest. Also ENR’s defence has unknown entities, that I have never heard of as a football lover. Atleast I tell you surely – no Mexicans. They both love the Irish and the Dutch so much that I am doubt they are managers of France. And they call all kind of abuses to the Englishmen. I think they is going to kill you and your players, if they meet you.

    Btw, I is very happy here. ENR take me to vacation to Puerto Rico & give me such a good time. Mark is so chivalrous (love his accent, have I told you before?) and bring his kid William (cute like his dad) for every team meeting.

    Hope you miss me. Merci beacoup.

    Love,
    Salma

    PS – Sorry about my Engleesh. I find difficult to type. Call me sometime.

        If you do a little research, you'll find there is very little doubt about Ibrahim Afellay starting. The manager is full of praise for him and he's the obvious choice to start on the left with Robben on the right.

    Okay, I think team is finished for my first ever try at this style of fantasy football game. Let me know if you think if there is anyone here who isn't nailed on.

    Szczesny/Given
    Debuchy/Alba/Perquis/Strinic/Maniatis
    Ozil/Ribery/Affelay/Shirokov/Konopyanka
    RVP/Ibra/Muller

    Still have .5 in the bank

    Don't like having 4 Group D players though. If I knew Mandzukic was playing, I'd switch him for Kono or I could throw Polanski in instead for double Polish coverage.

        That's what I thought Jafalad. I think it's more important to line them up per date than anything else.

    Anyone else think Rooney cut a relatively dejected figure for much of last season? I think he really regrets being persuaded to stay at Utd and missed the opportunity to move on and be part of the City structure....

    Greece only lost 1 of their last 21 games according to SSNews. Pretty formidable. Plus they have a great recond in the Euro's in recent years. And Poland will have the added pressure and expectation of being the hosts. Will be an interesting opening match.

    Will Boenisch be playing LB for Poland today? Why is Perquis being touted? Is he a goal scoring CB?

      Yes, Boenisch is nailed on at LB. Perquis scored in a recent friendly but don't expect him to score regularly.
