FANTASY FOOTBALL! Pick your Euros XI

admin

The domestic Fantasy Football season may nearly be over as the Premier League draws to its conclusion – but do not fear as our Euros game is here.

If your side failed to do the business during the domestic season, the chance to make amends is not far away as Europe’s finest battle it out in Ukraine & Poland.

While the final squads are yet to be announced, there is no harm in drafting out your side with unlimited transfer until the first game of the championships.

From there on, each manager will be about to make 15 changes during the group stages, unlimited transfers once the final eight are confirmed and then 10 further throughout the knock-out stages.

As with the Premier League game, bosses have the option of five different formations; 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 5-3-2, 3-5-2 or 4-5-1.

However, unlike the regular format, it is possible to select as many players as desired from one side, meaning those who expect England to end countless years of hurt this summer can fill their entire team with Englishmen, funds permitting (you’ve got a £75million budget).

Private and public leagues are also available so you can take on your mates to prove superior footballing knowledge, while Private League+ enables you to set a wager for each entry (we’ll play bank free of charge) and dictate the pay-out structure.

The points structure is the same as in the regular game and can be viewed here while but the captain system is significantly different.

Rotation of the armband might well be the key to hauling the big points, with it being possible to change your skipper once per match day – a trick not to miss with double points for the selected player up for grabs.

You can register your Euros 2012 dream team here right now – so put your thinking hat on and choose your starting XI.
