Euro U21’s Competition, Potty Style!
Thanks for reading Euro U21’s Competition, Potty Style!
Good Evening and welcome to the launch of my Summer Competition. Given as UEFA have left all us good fantasy folk stranded with no actual competition to play I thought I would step forward to try and fill the void a bit with my own little competition, just to keep us entertained. The competition is based on the Under 21 European Tournament which starts on Friday 16th June. Screw UEFA then, let’s get on with it…
Your aim is to gather as many points as possible, its that simple.
Follow this link to the UEFA site to find all you need to know when selecting your men who’ll hopefully bring you European Glory (then click on the Under 21 tab).
Lets Play ‘Its A Pre-Tournament Gamble’
The Rules.
A – Select 5 players from any position you wish.
B – Highlight one as your Captain (C) for double points.
C – Your men may come from just one of the Under 21 teams or a pick and mix from any.
D – Your five man team must be picked ahead of the tournament starting, hence its all a Potty gamble.
E – There will be two groups which I’ll draw on Monday at 9pm, with the top four after the group stage is complete making the semi-finals stage.
The Potty Points System!!!!
All your players will gain points as follows…
Appearance (and even off the bench) = 15pts
Goalkeeper/Defender cleansheet = 25pts
Goalkeeper/Defender conceeding = -10pts per goal
Any player making an assist = 20pts per assist
Any player scoring = 30pts per goal
Yellow or Red Card flashed = -5pts & -8pts respectively.
Now pick your 5 star men from these teams…
Poland
England
Slovakia
Sweden
FYR Macedonia
Portugal
Serbia
Spain
Czech Republic
Italy
Denmark
Germany
The 1st part of the competition, and your 5 picks as per above, are for the group stages only. You will get to pick a different squad after that but stay tuned for details should you qualify that far.
So do a wee bit of research then post those men of yours below.
Cheers my dears x

Great looked at this earlier that’s my first player not playing 😉

You are speaking to a gorilla.
Actually never mind, you rooster, me bear
Which reminds me, what exactly is Cookie?
Hey Init gorilla speaking on my bench only 5m mid 😉
Thanks Mito!

I panicked and put Locatelli in there, guessing he comes off the bench, but I was finding it hard to find a 7.5 guy I knew anything about, so I took him. Thought about Ceballos but I don’t think he will start either.
Not like you to leave it to a last minute panic now is it?! Yeah I don’t think he starts. Here’s my lot –
Shick’s price has to be some kind of malfunction. If I got him it would have been easy to get the mid I really wanted, problem is you get points for a win and he doesn’t have it easy. Will get him when his fixture is easier. Every guy I picked was on the favourite for the GW.
Yeah I think most will have just got him because of that weird price anomaly. I could have picked about 5 ahead of him in terms of fixtures but given his goal record and that price it still kind of made sense.
Here’s mine.
Arghhhh, I had triple England in the back and Shick instead of Abraham, changed it in the last 5 minutes.
BTW, nice homer pick for captain
Yeah England seemed good for CS, at least when compared to group’s B and C teams.
Schick is more of an enabler and TSB exposure prevention as I don’t think he’ll do much against Germany or Italy. I may be wrong of course.
As for the homer pick, just watch the lad. He is very short (Baines short) but very quick and good on the ball. Serbia will be a stern test though and after them it’s Spain so it would have been much better if we started with Macedonia for that kind of move but hey it’s summer!! He’s on my Potty Comp team as well!
