Sunday May 13th 2012 will live long in the memory of football fans as we witnessed the greatest ever finish to the Premier League. However, May 13th also saw the FPL come to an end for this season and many fantasy managers are now wondering what to do with themselves over the summer months! But fear not, this summer sees the cream of European footballers head to Poland and Ukraine to compete in Euro 2012 and thanks to Ronald and his friends at McDonalds we have a fantasy football competition to while away our hours. Here at FFC we will be running a fantasy football league as we do in the FPL.
How Do I Enter A Team?
Signing up for the league couldn’t be easier. All you need to do is follow this simple two step process:
- Log on to http://en.euro2012fantasy.uefa.com and register your team.
- To enter the FFC league you will need to enter the following code 22874-4878. Please ensure you type in the code rather than copying and pasting.
Will You Provide Advice on Euro 2012?
We have taken the decision not to run our regular package of advice articles during the Euro’s. We have done this as we will be working hard behind the scenes on improving the site ahead of next season’s FPL competition.
But I Need Some Help?
Don’t worry your not alone! There are loads of fantasy managers out there that don’t know their Franck Ribéry from their Vasili Berezutski. But there’s no need to panic, as we are helping each other out on the message boards below this article, and we have to say we are having a great laugh at the same time.
If you want to get involved in the Euro 2012 banter, why not enter a team and join us for some fantasy football chat on the message boards below this article. It’s all just a bit of fun, and you’re more than welcome to join in. At the very least, you’ll make a few fantasy football buddies before the serious business of next season’s FPL starts.
Good luck, and have fun!
Apparently Ray Wilkins has held talks with WBA over their vacant managerial position. I hope to god he gets it so as I dont have to listen to him on Sky!!
How can you not love Ray?
Hes not the worst Kop
Lads, he’s as boring as dishwater!!
True Kop but he’s a nice bloke
Cookie – You and I are nice blokes, that doesn’t mean that people want to listen to us on TV!
Oh I don’t know Kop – I reckon we’d put on a decent little show!!
Right chaps, I’m off to part deux of the grand prix – have a cracking weekend all – speak next week!
Why not, I reckon you know as much, or more, than half the dipsticks on TV nowadays.
MOTD hosted by Cookie & Kop!
If he doesn’t join our mini league that’ll be hosted by Kop & the Crumbs!
sz, i agree fella, kw should be on MOTD, you’d need to schedule the show for 120 mins not 60 though
Later cookie, say hi to Rachel and Nicole for me xxx
Just back in after another appointment and bloody Chanderpaul’s still in!! Whats the craic Kop
Nothing much Eddy. Just finishing up a few bits and then I’m off to walk the dog followed by a trip to the butchers and then the off-licence!!
Shiv is gone!!
Selling the pooch to the butcher to pay for the offy? Sounds like a plan.
My marriage would be over if I did anything to the dog. Actually I quite like the little fella as well
I think there is some law regarding that sort of thing Kop! Even in the Republic!!
Beer o’clock in 90 mins boys!!
I’m off lads, chat tomorrow. Enjoy the beer and sun everyone…
Nice one Kop, same to you fella
i had a few to many of them last night sorry if i was a ass eddy
YOU WERENT AN ASS MATE YOU WERE GREAT CRAIC FELLA!! LOL NO WORRIES BENCH
Im heading home at 5 mate so ill be online in 90 mins
Word coming thru on the jungle drums that martinez has been offered the liverpool job
Evening all, another great day, copa del ray tonight and the Russian friendly
russia have already play eddy croatia friendly on now look forward copa and having a look at liorente had cheeky bet on him to score first and 1 all 90 -1
Bench how are you, what was the russian team, any idea. Any craic (banter!) lol
no idea as was watch it in russian plus only watch last half hour
You watching barca, god they are shite!!
haha yeah bloody rubbish
Finally sketched out my Euro squad. Would love a different perspective…
Lloris Given
Cole Zhirkov Abate Papadopoulos Jodloweic
Sneijder Ozil Iniesta Srna Andrews
Benzema Llorente Jalavic
…I wonder if I should go with Huntelaar and Diarra instead of Benzema and Srna??
Hi Otter !
Your team looks good ! I’d prefer Benzema and Srna over Huntelaar and Diarra myself.
It seems Huntelaar and RvP could be competing for the front spot in the dutch team.
I would probably bring in a cheaper def for Cole and upgrade Andrews to a more attacking mid.
Fionn, srna is playing an attacking midfield role now, he’s captain, takes all the pens and freekicks. I like him buddy but that’s my thinking
Ignore that fionn I read your comment wrong? Sorry
No problem eddy, just don’t let it happen again
Thanks Fionn, think I’ll stick with my current strikers. Any advice on who I could replace Andrews with?
Good midfield mate, whose the subs, Im stuck with RVP or huntelaar so I’ve gone with robben!
Thanks for the advice. I’m going to try to sub according to GW. I was keen on Robben too, but after his disappointing CL final and the fact that he’s listed as a forward, I think there are better options for the money. Curious, any advice on swapping Andrews?
Sorry, seems Fionn suggested swapping Cole and Andrews..
Depends on how much spare cash you have Otter. Shirokov for russia is a decent option at 6m (i think) he got an assist in the friendly tonight and he can score. other options, maybe Larsson / Kallstrom for sweden.
Of course you could leave Andrews in and see what happens, you might get lucky !
Cheers. Would like to replace him, but seems one needs about £6 to break into a nailed on attacking mid.
Robbens got a point to prove and the dutch manager loves him, rvp and huntelaar will rotate beaause the dutch only play one up front with 3 behind who are kuyt sneider and robben
Your probably right. Suppose Robben has got a lot to prove now.
…er, you’re probably right…
good side otter join my mini league 24438-19145
So bench, how was the head this morning mate!
that bad eddy i didnt go to work
i blame the sun haha
Fuck that’s bad bench, did Cheltenhamshire come to a standstill big man? You daft t**t. Lol
I blame the crate of beer and the CRAIC! Ain’t that right fionn
Ha I think it could be a combination of all three, sun, beer and craic !
By the way for line ups and scores try this: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/?cc=5739
Blinding mate cheers big time fella
cheers fionn wheres gasco tonight need to say sorry to him
He was giving as good as he got !
Bench, listen mate were all grownups, a bit of banter is what it’s all about, if you someone gets offended then maybe they should think about using another site. Besides Gasco was fine bench. Fair play to you for saying “sorry lads” but there’s no need. Your still a twat ! Lol
haha cheers lads
evening lads how’s it going.
bench absolutely no need for an appology was a good bit of craic
Gasco, evening and what time do you call this!
Evening Gasco !
i know its late i had a few things to do tonight, i’m actualy just checkin in and the off again in a while.
Can’t fool us Gasco, eddy here’s what he said with translation in brackets !
i know its late ( just got up out of bed) i had a few things to do tonight (getting pissed), i’m actualy just checkin in (to see if there is any craic )and the off again in a while(going back to getting pissed)
Gasco your a man of mystery, how’s the wife or should I say mistress? Joking mate!
Your right fionn, he’s a fecking bluffer, or as my dear old mother would say, a cu*t
eddy i’m single mate
fionn thats pretty acurate translation ,off in a while to find mrs gasco ( for tonight anyway)
Palm and her five friends more like mate
haha probably but god loves a tryer
Word is Gasco you’ve Been trying a lot!
Why not
Thanks for the invite.
What’s your team called otter?
My team is called Otter than Hell this go around.
Whats your plan for cpt choices Otter ?
I’m going to start with a player that plays on the 8th. So at the moment I’ll probably go with Zhirkov, for no other reason than to shut my incessant assistant manager up.
I know otter, the assistant manager can be a real pain! Gonna try Lewandowski to start with as cpt.
My first draft had Lewy in, I had him set as cpt too. Would you believe my little asst still pushed for Zhirkov?!
Morning Guys !
Just sticking my head in before I start work. Quick question on cpt choice Otter, If you pick Zhirikov and he gets a clean sheet and ends up on 12 pts what are you going to do with the armband ?
Hey fionn how tricks, great day up her in Fermanagh, daughter got me up at 7! The tinker, been cutting grass and gardening, I’m very handy like that. Plenty of friendlies later to get an idea of managers picks
Fionn, that’s a good one. If Zhirkov has a clean sheet, then I’m going to assume that he’ll be picking up at least 1 recovered ball point as well. In my book that’s 14pts -he’s keeping the armband. And I’m buying pints for my asst mngr.
Evening guys !
Anyone know the result of the Russia game ?
Indecently anyone know of any decent sites with up to date scores \ assists \ teams ?
Croatia winning 3-1 at the moment by the way.
Russia was one all draw mate, trying to find out team details, how’s tricks fella, any craic! (banter)
Not much craic (banter) eddy, I’m in work for the weekend until Monday morning
Pants mate, you at work now!
http://www.football-lineups.com/team/Russia/Friendlies_2012/Campaign/

* it’s a fecker to navigate. ( bloody iPad)
3-0 to barca after 24 min !

Hope barca don’t get any silly injuries

Have you used this one bench? You can do any league going back to 94 I think.
I get ye Bench

2 nil barca.messi
Kerzhakov goal with Shirokov assist for russia.
great to see super jack butland going to the euros bloody good keeper had a cracking 6 months on loan with cheltenham feel for ruddy tho
yeah Ruddy very unlucky, now he’s definitely getting married !
Which finger did he brake! Lol poor wife
His ring finger.
Nothing worse than braking you ring mate!
Hi guys, where do you find reports of these friendlies online, struggling to find them myself
Hi Wilsa,
just found this, look around for the other matches
http://www.goal.com/en-gb/match/79550/croatia-vs-estonia/report
Cheers fion looks like a goood site that for all football news
If you have the patience to go back a few days on the comments, mate i think there are some more links
Ta eddy, will do – altho fions looks like a good source of knowlede
yesss I Win
Wilsa, he emails me for advice in the day then passes it off as his own, he’s a charlatan and a bounder!
Lol , you two getting along nicely then I see!? ;o) anyway, night guys, gotta be up early tomoro morning
That’s complete lies…I ask him on twitter @eddyknowsbest
Good comeback fionn, now tell me about your name sake and the salmon of knowledge?
Just remember bits and pieces eddy, read about it in school many (but not too many) years ago.
My missus knows them all she just told me about the salmon! She’s a smart girl
The Salmon of Knowledge is a funny story though. Guy spends 7 years trying to catch the same fish for its magical powers, then the minute he catches it he gives to his apprentice boy to cook for him….now I dont know about you, but if I was trying to catch the same fish for 7 years, the minute I hook that madafaga I’d be having sushi right there and then !
Ha ha mate your right I hate fish but after 7 years too right I’d eat the fucker
Night Wilsa !
Check out my 21.19 comment with the link, fionns link is pants compared to mine and no I am not upset! Love you fionn!
Will Lescott start for England ?
Good question Pauly, I don’t know if Roy knows that yet ! I’m probably going to stay away from England for the first game, after that the lineups should become more apparent.
i see yee have put links up to some really good sites tonight thanks lads, the only thing is every time i check a site out i want to change my team, at this rate i’ll have made hundreds of changes before the start of the comp
join the club !
I’ve started drinking fuck it lads!
you mean you haven’t been drinking already !
Didn’t want bench to feel alone!
