World Cup 2010 Fantasy League

[James]

I have jumped the gun a bit and set up the TiBB World Cup Fantasy League. :)

You can register and join the league now but you won't be able to select your players until June 4th, when the squads are announced.

Go to http://en.mcdonalds.fantasy.fifa.com/ and click Sign Up Now to register an account.

Once you have registered and verified your account return to http://en.mcdonalds.fantasy.fifa.com/M/myleagues.mc?view=cj and select My Leagues, then Create/Join and enter this League code to join the TiBB League:

305963-72232

Good luck.

Fantasy football is a game based around picking a squad of football players competing in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Finals. When your selected players play in a 2010 FIFA World Cup match, you will score points depending on their performance. In addition to playing against FIFA.com members from across the world for some fantastic prizes, you can set up private leagues against your friends, family and colleagues.....

.....The McDonald's FIFA World Cup Fantasy game is made up of seven rounds of matches. Just like the actual World Cup winners, your fantasy team will have to perform well over seven rounds of action to triumph!


From http://en.mcdonalds.fantasy.fifa.com/M/rules.mc?category=leagues - info about the scoring is there.

Takes the piss slightly that it costs you points to make substitutions, I guess you've just got to hope they all perform.

There isn't a limit on how many subs you can make through the tournament is there?

[Jase]

One last Q where do you find out your percentage?

It says on the desk part on the stickie

Table (Top 10) updated after today's games :)

[Locke.]

When can I make subs because this game has ****ed me over :nono:

[MissKittyFantastico]

You can make them now I think!

[Shaun]

Whoa. Second? And I've only had about 4 players play.

[Novo]

SCHWEINSTEIGER Tomorrow playing from my starting 11

Cahill on the Bench

[MissKittyFantastico]

I've only got Cahill playing in the games tomorrow.

Had Gerrard, Rooney, Messi, Mascherano and Pienaar involved from my team so far :)

[Novo]

Park Ji sung got 9 points for me today but i have him on my bench

i hope they swap the subs with the highest points into your starting 11 at the end off the round like they do in the premiership one

[Locke.]

The subs you make now don't come into effect until the knockout rounds :(

[Novo]

What horrible wankers

[Novo]

I have wasted most of my money on focusing on having good Subs as well

[MissKittyFantastico]

The subs you make now don't come into effect until the knockout rounds :(

Whaaaaaaaat?! So there's no point in making any then basically? :/

[Locke.]

* You are selecting your starting 11 for Round 2. To buy new players use the transfers page.

* Next round deadline 16/06/10 20:15 SAST

=

Any subs/transfers you make now are just to get your squad ready for the next round

[MissKittyFantastico]

Once the round commences, you have a choice: You can either take a 'hands off' approach and wait for automatic substitutions to happen at the end of the round, or you can get more involved and make some substitutions as the round progresses.

At the start of each day (00:00 South African time) during the round, a substitution window opens. In this window you can:

* Replace any player that wasn't sent off with one from your bench who is yet to play.
* Change your captain, providing he wasn’t sent off, with someone whose team is yet to play.

On a matchday, the substitution window will close 15 minutes before the first kick-off.

The player chosen to bring in must adhere to the formation rules. E.g. if you only have 3 defenders in your starting 11, you may not replace a defender for another midfielder as there is no legal formation with only two defenders.

An unlimited number of substitutions can be made but only eleven players with one captain can score points each round.

Here are some reasons you may choose to make substitutions:

* One of your players goes off injured after a few minutes
* Your captain wasn't selected to play in the round.
* You are a gambler and decide that one of your substitutes will score more points than someone who already played in the round

Things to note about substitutions

* If you remove a player who has scored points for your team, these points will be lost. The player cannot be brought back into your team until the next round.
* It is not possible to make substitutions after matches on the last day of the round.
* If a substitution or captain change is made then no automatic substitutions will take place on your team that round.

Automatic substitutions

Once the data for all the matches in the round has been determined as final, automatic substitutions will be made providing no substitutions or captain changes have been made.

If any of your players play no part in the round, the computer will try to substitute the inactive player with the highest priority replacement from the same position who did play. If your captain does not play then the bonus will be lost, another player will not take over the captaincy in their place.



So you can make subs between matches and they do count? This is really confusing me :(

[MissKittyFantastico]

But when you go into the Subs bit it says 'you are reviewing your team for the CURRENT round' and says you can make subs?

Actually yes subs can be made and count between matches in the same round because I took Van Persie off and brought Rooney in for tonight's game.

[Locke.]

When I was clicking on subs it was taking me to my round 2 squad, dunno why. Have sorted it now.

[MissKittyFantastico]

I think it's transfers, you can only make one during round 1, but you can make as many subs as you like.

[30stone]

If i was to sub messi with 18 points (c) would i lose them?


Like put van persie on instead

[KG.]

^ Yeah you would, I subbed Gourcuff with 4 points and lost those.

[30stone]

Guess thats good.


Wish i had a german striker now..

[KG.]

http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/8648/24694654.jpg

Top 10 after today's games.

Although I will be losing 5 points when I make my subs, but I hope Casillas, Maicon, Cannavaro, Sneijder, Iniesta (If fit, if not Caceras) and Luis Fabiano will help make it worthwhile losing the five points :tongue:

[BigSister]

Stupid question but how do you make subs?
And im happy with 6th so far

[KG.]

Stupid question but how do you make subs?
And im happy with 6th so far

You have to wait 'til 11pm (00:00 SA time) and make your subs then, before the first match of the next day kicks off.

[BigSister]

Ah thanks thats prob why as im never online at that time as i work early ill have to do it at 11 then

[MissKittyFantastico]

Need Buffon to keep a clean sheet tonight to pick up some points, I'm starting to slip a bit here! Didn't help with Cahill getting that bull**** red card last night :(

Buffon and Zambrotta in action for me later.

[Locke.]

Surprised I'm third.. have only had 5 players play.

De Rossi and Cannavaro for me tonight.

[Shaun]

Come on De Rossi and Gilardino :spin2:

only have them and Pique for Spain left this round.

[30stone]

Didnt put any italians in, dont score enough..


I am in 8th lol! how bad..

But saying that i have ceaser and alves for brazil (who are unlikely to conceed, and alves likeley to get an assist :))

Pique and David Villa for spain
Ronaldo for portugal.

[Shaun]

http://i49.tinypic.com/2mmbpj8.png

just bow.

[Novo]

Just Maicon, Fabregas, Torres left to play for me :(

[30stone]

10th ! FFS!


Ceaser
Alves

Pique
Villa

Ronaldo

5 left to play, please all score.. including ceaser

[BigSister]

Im gonna do subs tonight and ive still got ronaldo villa and some others

[MissKittyFantastico]

Oh bloody hell I slipped another place...I think I'm gonna be fcked now until this round is over with lol

[Locke.]

Still got Casillas, Kaka, Fabiano and Villa left to play :)

[InOne]

Think I've got a few Brazil and Portugal players

[30stone]

Omg im ****ed.

****ty france!

[30stone]

So if i change ribery for someone who hasnt scored / scored higher will i get those extra points?

[KG.]

So if i change ribery for someone who hasnt scored / scored higher will i get those extra points?

You don't get any points for those left in your subs bench.

Therefore say Ribery got 3 points, but you had someone like.. let's just say Kaka who got 14 points, but Kaka was on your subs bench when he played, you wouldn't get the 14 points.

And if you brought him onto the pitch in place of Ribery after the Brazil game, you would lose the 3 points Ribery gained, and get none of the points this round that Kaka got.


I've still got Casillas, Maicon, Iniesta and Luis Fabiano to play in this round so here's hoping they can live up to expectations and get me lots of points. :hugesmile:

[Shaun]

gonna wait to see portugal, spain and brazil's attacks before i change my french'uns.

[Jase]

I failed :( Thats what you get for auto completing the team :(

On brighter noted i just complete the england page in my sticker book :)

[MissKittyFantastico]

This has completely gone to **** for me this round now, hopefully I can pull it back in Round 2.

[KG.]

I should've put Maicon as my captain, would've got 34 points from him :laugh:

EDIT: Ok maybe not now they've conceded..

[Smithy]

I = Bad at this

[Locke.]

I am top off the league by alphabetical order :)

[30stone]

Im ****, like every big player is in my team and none of them performed!

[30stone]

When can we make transfers for next round?

[KG.]

You can make them now, I think you'll have to do it tonight if you want to get your free transfer for this round.

You get one free transfer for each round, then it's 5 points per transfer you make and they come into effect in the next round.

So if you want another player on your squad for the next round of games, then I'm pretty sure you'll have to do it tomorrow's games start as SA are playing again and that's in the second round. I'm not completely sure that's when the deadline is, but I'd do it tonight just to be safe.

[30stone]

I still dont understand this substition thing..
To try understand it better ill ask a couple of questions..

1 - If i made a substitute, BEFORE a player had played with a player that hadn't played either, i would recieve points from the player i put on, yes?

2 - If i made a substitute, Before a player had player with a player that has already got points, would i get points for that player?

3 - If i made a substitute, after a player had played with a player that had played aswell, would i recieve 0 points?

4 - If i made a substitute, after a player had player but before the player i brought on played would i stil get points for the person i brought on?


lol..

[30stone]

Jeez, well i dont know how the spanish will perform..
but i wished i was smarter in my choices now.

Think i might pic another english player this round..

[KG.]

I still dont understand this substition thing..
To try understand it better ill ask a couple of questions..

1 - If i made a substitute, BEFORE a player had played with a player that hadn't played either, i would recieve points from the player i put on, yes?

2 - If i made a substitute, Before a player had player with a player that has already got points, would i get points for that player?

3 - If i made a substitute, after a player had played with a player that had played aswell, would i recieve 0 points?

4 - If i made a substitute, after a player had player but before the player i brought on played would i stil get points for the person i brought on?


lol..

1. Yep

2. Nope, you can only get the points if a player is in your starting 11, if you put them on after they have played, it will just count as a sub for the next round and count as 0 points - at least im pretty certain that's how it is.

3. Yep

4. Yeah, say you had Gourcuff who had already played and got 4 points, but you brought on Iniesta tonight who has yet to play, you would lose the 4 points from Gourcuff, but get however many points Iniesta takes from tomorrows game.

[30stone]

Suppose its just a bit of a gamble but i mean if someone gets 0 points or 1 point you may aswell sub them..

[30stone]

Thanks very much for clearing it up btw.

[KG.]

No worries :thumbs:

Yeah it is a bit of a gamble but I guess if they only have a cople of points, or only 3 points for playing the whole game then it's worth trying someone else I reckon.

[InOne]

Uruguay killed it for me, one of them was my transfers as well :D

[30stone]

Fotgot to make my transfer i fell asleep with laptop on last night :(

[30stone]

Ohh and ****ing spain..

Pique and villa so dissapointing.

[James]

The table... kind of difficult to read but never mind. :tongue:. I am moving up. Nice pointage by Fabiano for me tonight. And Kaka, apart from him getting sent off.

[Shaun]

how the mighty have fallen :(

[Smithy]

:laugh2:

I dont think Ive ever been out of the bottom 5

I think Michelle is bottom 3 now though :shocked:

[GiRTh]

I was 2nd from bottom after round 1.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Got 29 points today from Donovan, Howard, Gerrard and Rooney.

Don't reckon I'll move much up the table though, things have gone a bit ****ty for me you could say :laugh:

[GiRTh]

43. I'd have had 47 if USA hadnt scored.

[GiRTh]

Sorry 34 on the day, 43 for the round

[MissKittyFantastico]

I think I've got 42 for the round.

[GiRTh]

Its getting quite even now. Everyone is scoring a similar amount of points.

[30stone]

Can you make a few free subs at the end of this round??

[MissKittyFantastico]

There's unlimited transfers in the next round (last 16) if that's what you mean Ben?

[GiRTh]

Subs or transfers?

[BigSister]

i need to get rid of a few players but its gonna looka bit bare as you can only pick 2 players per team

[GiRTh]

There's unlimited transfers in the next round (last 16) if that's what you mean Ben?Just had a look and you're right, there are unlimited transfers until 26 June. And, I seem to have an extra 5 mill in the bank.:dance::dance:

[30stone]

Cesar (brazil)

Maicon (brazil) - Pique (Spain) - De Michelis (argentina)

Ozil (germany) - Honda (Japan) - Sneijder (Holland) - Lampard (England)

Ronaldo (Portugal) - Messi (Argentina) - Villa (spain)


New team..


Though im honestly unsure weather to keep ronaldo?
Any one think i should swap ronaldo for van persie (whos in my subs?)

[Raph]

good choice with Honda there, Ben. I've got to get onto this again!

[King Gizzard]

Are all transfers free? ;s

What happens now its the last 16, i still got loads of ****e players that got knocked out in my team cause they didnt cost much

[King Gizzard]

Just done some transfers :laugh:

http://i46.tinypic.com/2nbrpg5.png

Took out the likes of Ronaldo etc put Higuain, Lahm and Iniesta in


One question - between each matches, can you change your captain and they will get more points, or will it be taken away from the person you had as captain in the last match (if you get what I mean). The same thing with subs

[MissKittyFantastico]

You lose your points Nayfun if you change your captain, same as you do with any subs you make. You just gotta hope the person you switch them for earns you more

[KG.]

I had to get rid of my Portugese players for some still in the competition, but it's going to cost me 12 points next round as there was a limited amount of transfers :( I just hope one of the new ones gets 12 or more :laugh:

My team atm: (Subs to be made for the second day's games)

http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/8893/75257573.jpg

[Raph]

just updated my team. Took out the Japanese players (:() and now I've got Casillas in goal, and Klose/Messi/Podolski in attack!

[King Gizzard]

Should I put in Podolski for Higuain, Villa, or Messi? I think I ll leave it like that

I should of put another class midfielder or defender in that would actually player rather than podolski :( It'll be my luck that Higuain and Messi have crap games and Podolski scores a hatrick

[KG.]

I'd maybe put Podolski on for Higuain, Argentina biggest weakness is their defence, so I think Germany may score at least one goal, and it will most likely be either Podolski/Klose/Ozil that scores it and even if they don't they'll probably get some sort of attacking bonus.

Plus I reckon Messi is on the verge of scoring now, rather than Higuian scoring a couple more... but who knows, I don't want to jinx it, that's just what I'd probably do :laugh:

That said, I was almost about to put Higuain in my team at the start, then didn't then he went and scored a hat-trick lol.

[KG.]

Also, get Pereira and Mensah on before the subs close if you haven't already done so. They're playing the day before some of the players you've still got, so you might aswell just put them on to see if they get a load of points.

[Locke.]

Here is the winning squad:

http://i46.tinypic.com/ilimx3.jpg

[Raph]

loads of us have Casillas in goal. He is a great goalie!

[KG.]

Arghhh, I don't know whether to go with Di Maria or Khedira for tomorrow hmm...

[Rob]

am i too late?

[Shaun]

a bit :p

[MissKittyFantastico]

I got 46 points today I think! :shocked:

[KG.]

I now have 19 after making subs, and 12 of that will be taken due to transfers, unless my team can get me 100+ points now, I'm ****ed :laugh: :(

[Raph]

yes! 4th place, and into the 'semi-final' ;)

[BigSister]

ive given up lol

[KG.]

Wow, didn't think I'd get many points this round because of the transfers I made, but I got the most which took me to the top! :hugesmile:

[GiRTh]

ive given up lolMe too. I dont like the subs system or the transfer system. And, its pot luck as to whether midfielders will score points.

[Shaun]

hate how I've got like only a full team and 2 subs due to the bloody transfer rules.

[GiRTh]

hate how I've got like only a full team and 2 subs due to the bloody transfer rules.Me too. If you have a lot of players from the teams that have just gone out, you're done. You cant get rid of them without losing a sh*t load of points. Also, Suarez getting sent off for Uruguay meant that I couldn't sub him out the next day and get Muller in. I'd have to sub out Forlan who had scored 18 points. Muller then gets 11 points that I cannot add. Meaning I've gone down 7 places in the league.:bawling::bawling::bawling:

[Shaun]

yeah I hate that red card rule - happened to me in the second round with Klose, when I had Vittek on the bench :(

[30stone]

Have just 4 players playing in the semi final lol..

Didnt change the team due to no internet.

[setanta]

Wow, I'm sixth now and I was second or third last after the first week. Not bad, but I'm sure that some people have loads of players left for tomorrow.

[Shaun]

22 points from Sneijder :spin2:

have a fair few playing tomorrow too

[setanta]

Yeah, got 22 for him too. Have 6 to play tomorrow so it's going fairly well.

[KG.]

I only got 11 as I didn't have him as captain (not really sure why lol) but I got 14 from RVP as he was my captain, and 8 from Pereira.

Got 7 from Kuyt too, but I've taken him off in the hope that Villa and Klose will get more than that.

Got 8 players to play tomorrow :amazed:

[setanta]

Van Persie has been a washout really, hasn't he? Thought it could have been his world cup. Ah, maybe he'll get it right in the final.

[James]

Yeah, I thought RvP would do better, get some goals.

I forgot to update my team. :( Still did okay tonight though - points for Gio vB, M.Pareira, Sneijder amongst others.

[setanta]

Maybe he hasn't quite shaken off the injury yet or something? It's the only real reason that I can come up with for his lack of spark. He looks laboured on the ball. Very disappointed because he's world class on his day.

[Shaun]

quick help - is there a limit to the number of substitutions I can make? I want to see if I can field a mostly German/Uruguayan team for the third place play-off, and then if they do disastrously, make a quick swap for the Dutch/Spanish players.

I don't think there's a limit Shaun. I'm doing the same myself anyway.

[Shaun]

excellente - if there is, then I at least drag you down with me :tongue:

[Shaun]

balls, forgot to make my substitutions

[Smithy]

^
Same :laugh:

[Locke.]

I won :D

http://i25.tinypic.com/ra693o.jpg

[James]

KG. won the league...

http://i28.tinypic.com/50sfvr.gif

http://en.mcdonalds.fantasy.fifa.com/M/table.mc?id=72232

[Locke.]

Are we playing league or knockout? :s

[Shaun]

I'm pleased with 7th...the game were kind enough to automatically make my substitutions for me :)

[James]

Are we playing league or knockout? :s

League. The knockout thing only started once the group stages were over, I think.

[Locke.]

Ah right, thought we'd be playing knock out cos it was the world cup. Well done anyway KG...

Runner up again :(

[Novo]

An English 1-2

What a great outcome

It's like Button and Hamilton

[James]

I've added the award. Congrats.

[KG.]

Ohh thank you :)

I didn't even realise there was a knockout game? But well done Locke for winning that too! :laugh:

[James]

Yeah, I didn't know about it, surprised me when it appeared. :)

[Raph]

4th.. Pretty good :)
