Fantasy League World Cup 2010

Hi everyone,

This is the thread with the rules and regulations for the upcoming WC.

Basically the same format will be used as last time around.

Please notice that you will have to submit your team only ONCE, but that you have to submit your results THRICE (first round; before knock-out stage; before semi-final and final).

Please read on and only post questions in this thread.

For submissions of teams and results, please refer to the OTHER thread in the forum.

In this fantasy league, you can obtain points in two ways: via your match-predictions and via your teams.

First, the matches:

for each match, all participants will make a prediction of the result for each team involved in the tie. Points are awarded based on the actual scoreline. If you have the goals right by one team you will get 10 points; if you are 1 goal away you will get 3 points. 2 or more goals adrift is 0 points. This is done for both teams in the tie.

example: France - England.
my prediction 3-1
actualy scoreline 2- 1

here i will get 3 points because i was one goal away for france + 10 points because i was spot-on with respect to the goals scored for england. i will receive total 13 points for the tie

if my prediction was 0 - 0, i would have only gotten 3 points (1 goal adrift in the england score = 3. more than 2 goals adrift for the french score = 0).

These predictions will be made for all matches in the first round. After the first round, we will submit again the score lines for the known second round matches, quarter final matches, and again for the semi-final and final.

Second, the teams:

  • participation during a match (including substitution): 1 point
  • goal scored by ur player: 20 points
  • penalty goal during shoot-out: 10 points
  • own goal: - 10 points
  • penalty save during match: 30 points (this includes penalties that miss the target)
  • penalty save during shoot-out: 20 points (this includes penalties that miss the target)
  • yellow card: - 5 points
  • red card (at once): - 20 points

if we have this, we will have plus or minus points for strikers, midfielder, defenders AND goalkeepers.

selection criteria

  • total 20 players
  • at least 1 goalkeeper (so you can have more than 1 keeper)
  • at least 5 defenders
  • at least 5 midfielders (including 1 non-attacking midfielder/non-playmaker)
  • maximum 7 strikers
  • maximum 5 players from one side, but at least 7 nationalities shud be in ur team

Submission of squads will start once all squads have been finalized; I will insert a link here in which you can find the positions of different players; We will use those positions in this fantasy league. E.g. Christiano Ronaldo can be considered a forward or midfielders by different sites, we will use the categorization of the link I will publish here

[QUOTE]

HEHEHE!

Bob that is THE funniest thing you have ever said! :hug:

Aswell as choosing your team you also have to predict first round matches.

Read the thread Nescio ((sp) I can never spell his name) created. It explains everything.

Even old women like Roushy can understand.

Don’t make me give you bad’dua..:emmy:…your GHDs are already dead…this time i’ll wish your pretty hair falls out!!! :snooty:

Vaddi bebe na huve te…:nahi:

Re: Fantasy League World Cup 2010

It was a compliment you daft bat!

Post your team I want to see which players you've got, you do know that the England team of '66 don't play anymore don't you?

Re: Fantasy League World Cup 2010

:grumpy:

Re: Fantasy League World Cup 2010

Okaaaaaaaaay, picking my team won’t be an easy task, alot of research to be done, will IA post my team later this evening when i get back from a back rub and steak. :smiley:

BTW how come no one has posted their teams? :mad:

Re: Fantasy League World Cup 2010

Roushy is waiting for Google to announce their Fantasy team and im waiting for Roushy to post hers.

Nah. I shall post mine right now Bob.

Right now!

Re: Fantasy League World Cup 2010

Nescio, I would make one belated suggestion, kindly rename strikers to forwards... cuz Messi and Ronaldo are not strikers but forwards.
