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

Its Showtime.
The next 90 minutes will dedide the Potty Pod semi-finals line-up.
Will you make it?
Potty
No!
That would be unfortunate 😉
Looks like Italy need watching didn’t expect Ger to lose 😉
They had their proper back 4 in place again tonight. That makes a big difference for them. The makeshift one was a bit of a shambles in the last game, this one is the real deal.
They look really strong at the back but I still expect Spa to win they have to much I thk 😉
Do we get a bigger budget to change are team now or not ?
Have you had your dinner yet? I can come over and spoon feed you if not 😉
Hey Silvers – budget is the same (100mln) but you can now choose 6 players from a team.
Not sure how affordable that will be mind you
I’ll cancel my cab, Cookie already did it
My overall rank in game 2
7 points difference
Nice one Sam – is that your team called ‘Winners’?
All to play fot mate – have you chosen your squad for the next stage yet?
Yes winners it is
Haven’t chosen squad for next stage yet
Great stuff Sam. Rosco in there too closing the top 10! Well done lads. Not easy, especially with only one team.
Cheers mate, tried to put together a team for the semis…. it’s like a jigsaw puzzle!! Its more a case of the players you have to have just because they’re cheap!
Its going to be mighty tricky!!
It’s a pity they haven’t slightly increased our budget for the semis & final.
Agreed! Even an extra 5 mil would have been very helpful! Think if one of the other teams with cheaper players had of got through it would be easier too! Even our bench players aside from keeper have to be 5.5m minimum!
Morning all first attempt at team .5m left no Italy players bit worrying;)
Yeah either that or let us keep what we had instead of reseting the teams!
England offers the cheaper options in all sectors in terms of nailed on-ish players, so I suppose we’ll be all over them. I suspect many will have Sandro Ramirez too as his ‘only’ 7.0 and is as good or better than the other nailed on strikers. Slim choices altogether so it will be though to clim this ladder for the chasers.
We’ll need to capo a GK and expect him to save a penalty, keep the cleanie and win the game!
I don’t think they’ve thought this bit through properly! Let’s see if we can get a budget increase. Leave it with me.
That’s a good point DMC. As I’m 2nd only a couple of points behind Rosco maybe the fact that it’s tough to pick a team for the semis is a good thing
Just logged on to tweak my team and its been wiped and I have lost all my 4.0 and 4.5 bench warmers! Filled the defence with the cheapest available and most won’t play. The front 7 are reasonable but not what I had and I can’t see the point of keeping it at 100 with no cheapies to use on the bench.
The site has been great so far but I think this is a major blunder and needs to be rectified.
That would help yes init. That way everybody would go for Spain and Germany players and England would then be the proper differential we (chasing) need!
I’m with Kop on this it will make it more interesting having less cash so that teams & maybe Cap pick will be different if we have a big budget all teams will look the same 😉
Not had a response yet but that’s not a bad thing. Last time that they didn’t respond they spent an entire day converting the site into English
Nice scoring Sam. I’ve dropped down to 22nd myself after a poor GW3.
It will be interesting to see the make up of everyone’s squads for the semis. Before last night I’d planned to go all in on Spain & Germsny but now I’m not so sure.
You can’t do that with this budget Kop. You will need England players. I’ve actualy contemplated a
team full on England players and still it’s difficult to fill a strong XI.
I hadn’t actually thought it through when I posted the above comment
Eheh and it’s all provisional now that init promised us 5mil !
Hang on! I didn’t promise anything. I’ve emailed them asking for an increased budget. For me
I just emailed them asking to not take the calls for a budget increase seriously. Leave as is, the struggle is part of the game. If we can only field 2 starters in the final, so be it.
Don’t increase budget gamble is needed
I’m fine with it being as is but being as is doenst help gambling imo. As it is now we’ll have very similar teams given that we are all forced to get England defence and one from Baker/Swift/Abraham.
The others will be Kempf (the cheapest way to German defence), Asensio and Meyer/Gnabry while the forwards would have to be the 7-8 range, meaning Sandro, Weiser , Chiesa. So with this budget you can’t really gamble too much imo.
Not necessary yes I agree we will all have more Eng players in there than we would like but you have to gamble on the Spa v Italy game my fwd line at present are the 3 players I would choose any way with two 9m mids I thk this is the way to go
If we get more cash we will most certainly all have the same teams 😉
Definitely no increased budget for the semis. There’s a chance there will be a slightly increased one for the final.
Thanks Inittowinit
Cheers Init this will make it interesting I predict Spa v Eng final if its Spa v Ger we wont be able to pick enough players in a 1m budget
Well played Sam!
I assume if teams tie in semis it’s extra time & penaltys but the penaltys wont count for points ??????
Pens won’t no
Important information For All Competitors !!!!
As I tally up the Pod points today and tomorrow night when I announce whose made those prestigious Potty Semi-finals everyone of you now gets the chance to change your 5 man squad completely and also the Captain too.
Yes we have an overall Champion Title up for grabs so please if you’ve entered this Tournament…..
Change your Squad.
Deadline for the next phase is Tuesday at 5pm.
Thanks
Potty
Great stuff Potty
