If you're struggling to find players for your squad, use www.transfermarkt.co.uk and search for players from your country, it should give you several options for your squad.

Each country is allowed to call up a maximum of FOUR legends from days gone by (seeing as it's a fantasy tournament).

The definite rule on Legends.

Players who are currently still active can be called up as legends, but it will take up one of your 4 legends spaces. Also the four legends in your squad must be labelled as legends to signify they are your four legends in their prime. I agree that it might be better if it was purely players who had retired, but I will leave the rule open so anyone could choose someone from years gone by or recent times. It widens the pool of players to be honest.

For example, Thierry Henry would be the guy running around the MLS, but Thierry Henry (Legend) would be the guy in his prime at Arsenal. And no, you can't have two of the same player (one as legend and one as normal) as that would be stupid.

Still having him Whistle

Futsal is the version with the little ball I believe. Like you see Brazilian youngsters playing with no shoes on.

by The Special Juan Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:21 am

It's 5 a-side :/

by sodhat Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:25 am

Yeah that's what I thought - it's indoor and with a smaller, less bouncy ball. It's supposed to give good technique and skill...

If you're struggling for legends, what about Aleksandr Mostovoi? I always remember him playing for Celta Vigo.

by **Hero** Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:29 am

If we're allowed players from different sports as legends then I'm getting in some Portuguese rifle champion.

'RVP looking to tee up for a chance on goal'

BANG

'Oh and there goes Rui Costatincotanco getting his 4th headshot of the match'

by The Special Juan Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:30 am

Never heard of him but he looks good (stats wise!!) so he's in.

by The Special Juan Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:31 am

lol Hero. I have the KGB on my side. Who wants some Polonium tea? Whistle

by sodhat Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:32 am

Do the Dutch have any stars in other sports? I think they're good at darts but I don't reckon Raymond Van Barneveld is the answer. Sure, he can throw darts at opponents but he'd have to run off to go and retrieve them from peoples eyeballs and it'd ruin my defensive shape.

by President Trump Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:41 am

The Dutch have great Kick Boxers/K1/MMA fighters like Badr Hari, Remy Bonjaski and Alistair Overeem

by sodhat Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:42 am

Ah, I've heard of Overeem!

I'll get him in to play when De Jong is injured. You won't notice much difference in style of play, it's just less likely that the opposition players will get up again after a boot to the chest.

by kamran Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:45 am

Overeem is an absolute beast
If anyone can knock out Brock Lesnar in the first round must be increidbly powerful

Anyway, still trying to draft up 23 Englishmen

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:47 am

Grant Holt kamran Whistle

Or you could just take Italy off my hands, great legends here!

by President Trump Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:48 am

The Reem is the only MMA fighter to win a K1 tournament and he is a beast of a fighter, Hari is an unbelivable Kickboxer and has won a few K1 championships in his time

by The Special Juan Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:50 am

3 managers needed in the Euro Divison.

FC Furious - nick's team
Carling FC - ITFL's team
ShuntingSheep - Fan's team

by Marky Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:51 am

I'm happy with Croatia, but does anybody want to swap?

by President Trump Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:53 am

No I have just got my head around this French team Very Happy

by Marky Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:55 am

by Marky Thu Apr 12, 2012 10:52 pm

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Apr 12, 2012 10:53 pm

There's no Transfers Shocked

That's the only fun of these league and it's not going to help smaller sides especially with legends aswell so im out

by Bull Fri Apr 13, 2012 12:53 am

marky i might have to be out due to time as well.

by Marky Fri Apr 13, 2012 4:33 am

Bull, it's three games so don't BS me.

Nando, I get the feeling if you weren't Poland you'd stay...

by Bull Fri Apr 13, 2012 4:34 am

i need to revise so im going to limit my time here.

by Fernando Fri Apr 13, 2012 4:58 am

If there were transfers or atleast a lack of legends id stay comparing polish/greek,Ukrainian legends to french/spanish/english legends is a no contest realistically and it's just going to make it a hell of a lot more difficult if not pointless for the smaller sides taking part tbh thumbsup

by Beer Mon Apr 16, 2012 10:43 pm

What's going on with this?

by Marky Mon Apr 16, 2012 10:49 pm

Well, we need new managers for Ireland and Poland, i'm willing to get started ASAP.

by President Trump Mon Apr 16, 2012 10:53 pm

The Irish team would be easy enough to sort out with legends and tactics but Poland....

by cherriesfna Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:02 pm

denmark dont have a half bad squad and i should be more than enuff for portugal

by Marky Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:05 pm

If we find a new Irish manager (or if Dicey wants he can tout for the French job and swap with the Irish job) then we'll start without Poland, who will get default losses.

The business end is the QF's anyway.

by President Trump Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:07 pm

My luck would be Id swap and the French would win it Laugh

by cherriesfna Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:07 pm

ill take frqnce if dicey takes ireland

by sodhat Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:09 pm

I tell you what, although I love the Dutch I reckon they'll be easier to tout to a newcomer

I'd swap for Poland, I'd like the challenge with them, and their group is beatable.

by Beer Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:09 pm

I'll take Dicey to Ireland if Cherries goes to France.

Who does Cherries have?

by cherriesfna Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:10 pm

denamrk

by Beer Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:13 pm

Why would you swap the Danes for the French? With 4 legends you've got a great side?

by cherriesfna Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:14 pm

but i want lilian thuram. he is tank
also benzema is my fave player

by Beer Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:16 pm

by President Trump Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:16 pm

But if we all swapped there would still be 2 teams with no manager

Denmark
Holland

by cherriesfna Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:18 pm
