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!
It’s time for the golf.
You watching to the end, gonna be around 3 30 am
Eddy – I’ll probably watch it on the laptop in the bedroom, I doubt I’ll make the end. Tiger is +4 through his 1st 3 holes!!
Really! There will be plenty of clubs flying then. Lol cheers kop
Oh yes I have been waiting all day for the golf, had a cheeky £20 on McDowell to win before it started at 70-1, so if he can hold it together I am booking a holiday first thing tomorrow
come on gmac 
AJ – Nice one!!
Best of luck fella, lee westwood is the one to watch, I think furyk will fold imo
I reckon Ernie has a good chance.
Quick question who for captain tomorrow
Pirlo (vs Ireland) or Silva (vs Croatia)?
Horse – I’d go Silva.
Cheers Kop,
Hope you enjoy the golf
Silva
Marchisio or Torres for Captain?

Sifakis Rui Patrício
Limberský- Jordi Alba- Selassie- Maniatis- Boateng
Nasri-Iniesta-Marchisio-Pilař-Walcott

DB9 – Everton always start poorly!

Kop, cheers for the fixture lists mate, well how long did you last at the Golf, Watched McDowells front 9 then sacked it.
Eddy – If I saw McDowells 1st 5 holes, I saw a lot!!
Great to see Paddy H do well, it should push him back up the rankings.
Good call, i like Paddy H, great fella, needs a big push for a Ryder Cup Place, though if he wins the open?? Course may suit him.
I’d be amazed if he makes the Ryder Cup, although I hope he proves me wrong!
Captains pick maybe KW, word is if he doesnt get in the team he will accept an invitation from Olazabal as a captains assistant. i know its not the same but what a great fella to have helping the team out.
Cheers Kop, some cracking fixtures in GW1 ! Newcastle Spurs, Everton United and here’s hoping Southampton pull an upset!! Bring on the FPL!
Dhevesh – When do you reckon the FPL site will go live for the coming season?
Kop – Going by past years i guess it’ll come sometime during the last week of July mate.
I just hope the site doesn’t suffer the same teething problems as last year!
Football fixtures 2012/13 released!!!: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4378492/Football-fixtures-2012-2013.html
keep Gomez as cappo or switch to Torres? I have Ribery and Ibrahimovic for the last day.
Black Jack, I have the same dilemma, I’m going to stick with Gomez though. Got caught out on GW1 with lewandowski so I wont make the same mistake again!
Although I have to take my chances, as my points this match day isn’t looking very handsome. Hopefully Torres strikes at least once.
Tough call, hope it pays off for you mate!!
Morning/Afternoon/Evening,
Hows we all doing this game week? Been busy past couple days. Shock the other day with Russia going out. Ozil finally got me some point wahoo!
I know buddy, god bless old Marty Feldman!! lol Quiet gw so far, though i have 5 playing tonight. if you have any players from knocked out countries, dump them and get in players from remaining teams as prices may change after tomorrows matches. You will also see that you cant select players from the knocked out teams any more just in case you were thinking of getting a cheap non playing option in to complete your team.
Yeah have noticed that. I’ve started building my team already. Will be sending an update on it tomorrow depending on todays results. Just wish I had a little bit more cash.
i know that extra 5 m does not go far!!
Nah mate, not far at all. See the golf yesterday? I couldn’t stay up any more as ended having to work and help the other shift after the footy. Just read about the tennis as well, now thats funny
Golf was good, thats one tough course, tennis was different-Nalbadians in a spot of bother, bbc is reporting that the line judge made a complaint to the police!!
Just read that. Crazy it’s not as if he’s gone out to hurt him. If he sues the UK is getting like the US
CHECK OUT THE CLIP-

Can’t watch it, bloody net! Never mind, something else to be added to my list of things to look at when I get off this boat.
Is it just adult material that can be downloaded whilst on board!! that poor Mexican Cabin Boy!!
Hi everyone
Made a last minute decisiön yesterday not to transfer out ronaldo for di natale, and it paid off, ,he was even my captain, and it was nice he finaly scored coz he was in my team since mw1.
I have enjoyed getting involved with the Euro F.F…when it gets going can anyone join in your Premiership Fantasy League?
Hi Columbo, yes anybody can join the Premiership league. Infact the more, the merrier!
That’s great Kop, thanks very much.
Columbo, your teams still flying i see mate! Good job
Cheers Eddy, need to steady the ship…b4 it all goes t*ts up!!….i’m enjoying leading a country’s league though….The Seychelles…when I say country I think it’s officially classed as an Island Country…b4 u ask I have never been (would like to though) or have anything to do with the Seychelles!!
Ha…ha..nice one. Glad your gonna join the main league next season. I need to adopt a little island, the caymans would be good!
Even Kenny Dalglish acknowledged that Welbeck’s finish was intentional.: “It’s sad that some people are questioning whether Danny Welbeck’s flick for the winning goal against Sweden was deliberate or accidental,” he said. “It was obvious to me and I would have thought most people that it was quite simply a wonderful piece of skill.”
Any updates on the starting 11 for todays matches?
Ozil provided an assist yesterday, should I captain Silva today? I would only be left with Nasri for tomorrow. another quiet week!
no jelly for Croatia bonucci not starting to for italy
whats up bench!!! you’re rolling in the points mate…this is not what we had agreed!
who you got playing today??
i got strinic, mandy, iniesta and my super sub Febregas…
got mandzukic cassono iniesta and alba gutted bonucci not playing yeah don had ronnie as capt yeaterday got to fancy him against the czechs too
yeah, i’m bringing him in against the Czechs…!!
The full line-ups are on uefa.com mate – check em out. And as for Silva – tough one. I’d be inclined to stick with Ozil, for safety’s sake, but maybe I’m not daring enough?
i should have captained Pirlo instead, atleast he has got 1 assist and may just get another, seriously hope that Silva finds the net though!
So glad the site is back up! Captain decision:
Ramos, Xavi H, or Mandzukic?
(Alternatively, I have Given, Dunne, Modric…)
Thanks
I’ve stuck with Xavi for now – but advice definitely welcome!
tough one…I currently have gomez but have Iniesta & mandy playing today …think im gonna stick with gomez today and maybe switch to Rooney or Benzema…
I have Benzema as a back up too; very glad I do…
Evening Don, I had Gomez as capt, but due to some people posting massive scores, you and bench namely! I’ve brought in Torres as capt tonight.
Eddy – That was a bad move as Torres is my captain which means he’s unlikely to score!!!
Oh feck!! Lol
who watching wot game ? i going to flick ireland on laptop i think fancy a 2-2 in spain game haha
i’m watchin ireland bench, wasn’t sure if i wanted to to be honnest but their doing better than in the other 2 matchs, atleast they’ve got through the first 10 mins.
could be tough, theyre playing for pride now…
very though don, at this satge the fact they’ve got through the first 20min is something,atleast they are playing with a bit more hunger tonight
silva capt, iniesta and di natale had bonucci but he’s not playing
