I thought I'd better give some other people a chance to win, but I'm glad I still get to be involved in this. I'm looking forward to being the Roy Keane to Lee's Martin O'Neill.

Are you the Munks to Lee's Oaf Veggie??

Either way, we're fucked with you two clowns running this.

Any team that fucks with Team Casillas here may find themselves getting some "bad luck" in 1FF Wars.

Just sayin'.

This goes for you too, Lee. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours, ect.


Actually, hang about, pot fuckin' 3? Disgrace. I was only voted the greatest 1FF Member of all time. TWICE. Out of the two times total the thing has been ran.

Pot 3 is an outrage. Redo the entire thing.

Reputation counts for nothing in Euro 2016 Grandstand!!!! (plus this is based on football knowledge and I'm sure that is your weakest element even though we're on a football forum :lol:)

Not sure why you're complaining. You got to team up with someone from pot 2 and pot 1. Practically fixed in your favour.

Mini task

To get you all in the swing of things, I think we'll have a small task to get you working together.

Your job is simple. You have to predict the starting line ups that England and France will produce against Russia and Romania respectively.

You need to set your starting line ups out in your predicted formation in your PM. Like this....

-------------------Wilson-----------
Wilson---Wilson---Wilson---Wilson
------------Wilson---Wilson-------------
Wilson---------Wilson--------Wilson
-----------------Wilson------------------

You can discuss and debate this as much as you want with your team mates. When you have made a final decision about your line ups, please bold them so I know that this is your entry.

Scoring

0-8 players correct - 0 points
9 players correct - 1 point
10 players correct - 2 points
11 players correct - 3 points
Formation correct - Bonus point

As you have to name two starting line ups, there is a total of 8 points available here.

The points you gain will be added to the total points that you collect in the first game round, so this could be a real difference maker.

Deadline for this is Monday 7pm (as the advantage round will be starting around then). I will also allow 1 edit per line up after this deadline if one of your players becomes ruled out through training injury. However, this will expire after Wednesday as rumours will start flooding in about who is starting. Any injuries after the Wednesday will just be bad luck I'm afraid.

Enjoy!

1. Can we do our squads on a FIFA squadbuilder if we're lazy?
2. Do the captains submit the squads, or can anyone?
3. Do we submit via PM or this thread?

1) Yes, if you wish.
2) Anybody can. Forget about who is captain now. That was only to pick the team. You are all equals.
3) You submit via PM. I'd recommend discussing it with teammates first before just submitting though. The whole idea of this task is to discuss and debate and then settle on something together.

Pretty sure the hashtag isn't

#4TheMakers Oaf ;)

Which makes it all the more preposterous that LR made it into Pot 1

At the Team Casillas send off event, "Pot 3" Oaf makes his entrance to an indifferent reaction from the Spanish fans.

Advantage round 1 - European Championships quiz

For the first advantage round, it's quiz time. I've split this over Monday and Tuesday as there's a fair bit to get through. Monday's session will be carried out in this thread whilst Tuesday's will take place in PMs.

The advantage rounds will start Monday 7.30pm and Tuesday 7.30pm

There will be 3 rounds:

Round 1 - Q&A - 1pt per correct answer (Monday)

Straight up question and answer, fastest finger first style. First person to answer correctly in the thread wins. If you give an incorrect answer, you are frozen out for two minutes before being allowed to answer again. 6 questions here so 6 points available to ease us into the game.

Round 2 - Who am I? (Monday)

In this round you will receive 5 clues about a player, manager, nation or stadium. After the first clue is given, there will be 5 points available for a correct answer. Each clue that is given will see the points decrease by 1. So after the 2nd clue, the question will then only be worth 4 points. And so on....until we get to clue 5 with the question worth just 1 point.

You can decide whether you want to gamble and give an answer for 5 points but be warned that your whole team will be frozen out of the question if you buzz in with a wrong answer. Up to you how you play it. 6 questions in this round so a lot of points potentially available depending when you buzz in.

Round 3 - Linkee (Tuesday)

This will be done in PMs. For each Linkee question, you will be given 4 names. Your team's job is to find the link between them. So for example, the link between Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Dele Alli and Eric Dier would be 'Spurs players in the England squad for Euro 2016'. All of the links are to do with the European Championships.

There are 5 Linkee questions in total. Once I've posted these in the thread, you have just 30 minutes in your PMs to discuss and bold your link for each question. You may get time to do all 5, you may not. But even if you're not sure on a link, have a guess, you never know! They range in difficulty. You get 2 points per link you get right here so 10 points available in total.

Be interesting to see which teams stay calm and work together and which ones go completely chaotic.

The prize

1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the advantage round will all receive an advantage of some sorts in the first Game Round. I don't want to reveal what that is yet or it will give away what the Game Round is. Obviously the advantage that 1st gets will be better than what 2nd receives, and that will be better than what 3rd receives etc.

So hopefully see as many of you as possible tomorrow night at Monday 7.30 to get this show on the road.


Remember, your England and France line ups must be bolded by 7pm tomorrow night in your PMs.

Umm... Do we need all of our team members for the advantage rounds? Because I'll be up a mountain on a school trip until Thursday.

Nope, just as many as are available. Obviously the more you have around, the more help.

Round 1 - Q&A - 1pt per correct answer (Monday)

Straight up question and answer, fastest finger first style. First person to answer correctly in the thread wins. However, to avoid answers just being mindlessly spammed, if you give an incorrect answer in the thread, your whole team is frozen out for that question. 6 questions here so 6 points available to ease us into the game.

I could be speaking out of turn here since I don't know exactly what the questions are but I think the 2 minute rule works better. Reasoning is that you can make a guess for an answer and get in quicker than someone checking google. Freezing the whole team out like that makes going with a hunch or guess less appealing, and going to google more appealing.

Also, by freezing the whole team out you are effectively penalising teams that manage to get more people on for the task (and after you asked nicely to see as many of us as possible on here ;) ). Up to you though of course Lee!
