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

Oh boy, Zivkovic conceeds a penalty..
Djurk goal, Ziko assist!
Oh s*** Ziko hits de post!
Oh well. at least they got us some points at the end there. Thought they were all going to blank.
Yeah can’t disagree with that but for me that would have been +14 pts so I still get to rant!
Djurk at least gets a goal as my Cap pick 😉
Well that triple Serbia backfired….
League update after day 2, GW2. Kop goes back top!
I don’t think I have any Italians today which could be an issue!!
I’ve got 3 of them and 3 Germans plus Schick. Given as you also have Schick I’m hoping for an Italian cleanie.
An Italian cleanie will send me tumbling down the table.
Go Czech, go Denmark (more for Portugal’s hopes than fantasy wise – I have 1 Italian, 3 Germans).
Do we expect Spain to rest players for their final group game?
I would imagine so Kop
Great!
Kop – surely.
It’s a pity we don’t see their teamsheet before their games
Inaki Williams, Denis Suarez and Mayoral should play. I can see all the front line being rested and probably the left and right back.
Any chance the sub keeper gets a game?
No
There is not going to be a ton of great options. Portugal might be our best bet.
Spain resting players, so you have to figure out which ones.
Italy and Germany play each other and if they both win today, it will mean that a draw sees them both through.
England will probably play it safe and if they get a goal they will be happy with the 1-0.
Going to be a tricky GW3
Why no?
It looks like Spain will be playing whoever win the Italy/Germany group while whoever comes 2nd will play England!!
I guess he could, but I don’t see why you would rest a keeper, is not like he is tired and he could only be sharper for the bigger game if he plays. For 4.0 I guess he is worth starting and just grabbing a second keeper o back him up
Could be 4.5 not 4.0, not sure which one is the back up for Spain.
Any idea whether Perez or Blanco is the 2nd keeper?
Neither of them play regular first team football and they have 6 U21 caps between them!!
Judging by past team sheets when Kepa didn’t start it looks like Lopez.
Still think you are stonking it Kop.
I can’t remember who I have today apart from Captain Serge!
Cheers GP. I don’t like the pressure at the top of the table
Here you go lazy.
Word is Caldara is a doubt today, he is owned by 16%.
Hopefully he doesn’t play and that would really hurt a lot of players since most will have him if they doubled up or have him as their one Italian defender if they didn’t double up.
Oh that would be unfortunate 😉
Line ups
My defender not playing……. Barreca
No Caldera either, perfect.
2 birds, one stone
Me throwing another comp, no doubt? 😉
Italy cleanie gone.
Damn, that’s what I get for being too happy about Caldera being out.
Should’ve stuck with gut and gone Petagna over Bernadeschi. Looking much more dangerous.
