World Cup Fantasy Football 2014

I've set up a mini-league if anyone would like to join in, due to problems with the Fifa official game I've gone with the Mirror's game which is very similar to FPL, except 'gameweeks' are called 'matchdays' and there is no vice-captain. Scoring, subs and formation rules look to be about the same as FPL.

Deadline for the first games is this Thursday, you can make unlimited changes to your side in the run-up.

Open to any current WoS members, here is the code you need to join our league: 1408358-16290

Drop a note into this thread so I know who you are!

    erm yeah, well ...looks like it's just me and you then

    I predict I'll finish a respectable 2nd place, while you have a mare and finish last but one :-D

    Why does it need my full postal address and phone number?
    I'm afraid they can go **** themselves!

    It needs *a* full address and phone number, doesn't have to be yours ;) I assume it's so they know where to send the prize* but if you don't think you're likely to win anything give 'em a false one.

    *send half a rainforest of junk mail more like :-D

    Don't you hate it when a team gets a clean sheet and your man isn't playing... at least I should get Luke Shaws points now.

    The scores after round 3:

    Position Team name Manager Total
    1 Enigma Force England Zoff 189
    2 Scunny Bunnies England Scunny 164
    3 Tipster England Mirror Football Tipster 152
    4 BRAZIL FOOTBALL England BRAZIL FOOTBALL 107
    5 Never mind the Gol England Rebelstar Wac 89

    Scunny catching me up thanks to.... Jan Vertonghen?!

    Unlimited transfers before the next round starts tomorrow teatime.

    Final scores:

    Position Team name Manager Total
    1 Enigma Force Zoff 372
    2 Tipster Mirror Football Tipster 368
    3 Scunny Bunnies Scunny 358
    4 BRAZIL FOOTBALL BRAZIL FOOTBALL 283
    5 Never mind the Gol Rebelstar Wac 167

    Scunny closed the gap but couldn't quite make it. The overall winner did so by a single point - 446 to 445.

    Premier league starts again soon and with it the FPL game, I think it was Morkin who started the mini-league for that last year, if you want to do it again this time round count me in.

    congrats, beat the mirror tipster as well. only just, but I'm sure he was at least 50 points behind you going into the semis?

    I would also like to thank rebelstar for entering a team :grin:

    39, his defence fared a lot better than mine in the semis.
