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

Afternoon lads. I just logged onto the U21 site and reading the rules so just want some clarification. If a player doesn’t play he doesn’t get replaced by the bench? I have Guedes who didn’t play so will he be replaced by the first player on the bench??
DMC
They are replaced but only if it doesn’t mean a change in tactics. So if you were playing with 3 forwards Guedes won’t get subbed.
inittowinit
Defender replaces a defender, mid replaces a mid, keeper replaces a replaces. Only way you get a forward replaced is if you didn’t play 3 forwards to begin with. Which you didn’t. Count your points up – Schick is included in yours.
Matt
Ah right okay. I was thinking I was reading that there was some sort of autosubs. Seems like most of us got screwed by Guedes not playing. Cheers Init and DMC. Picking a team for the semis is near impossible though. Haha

How are you Cookie?
Any Scot who tells you he isn’t even the slightest bit jealous of England’s riches at youth level is a liar. Especially these past couple of years with the Under 17’s, Toulon and the 20’s. The 21’s would put the cap on a brilliant three years.
Cookie
I’m ok thanks GP, enjoying the summer and FPL free time! How you doing pal?
Yeah they’ve had a good run in different age groups but the true test will of course be the senior level, where we all know what will happen!!
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Doing fine thanks. Enjoying not having any serious fantasy to concentrate on.
Good to recharge.
