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.

I am finding it very difficult to conjure up a England formation

by Marky Tue 24 Apr 2012, 1:40 pm

We're only a Spain teamsheet short!

I've decided to do a quick Denmark teamsheet with no instructions while they're managerless, just to give whoever's playing them something to go up against.

Spain on the other hand actually have a manager.

Voted!

by **Hero** Wed 25 Apr 2012, 10:55 am

3-1 to germany?
Seriously? Tactically where did they beat me on that one?
Through the forward tactics of:

Strikers- Get the ball in the net, get back and help out if needed.

?

Might as well just stick a team sheet up next time.

Still don't like losing i see!

by **Hero** Wed 25 Apr 2012, 10:59 am

Not when it's clearly unjustified.

by President Trump Wed 25 Apr 2012, 11:00 am

And it begins Laugh

by **Hero** Wed 25 Apr 2012, 11:03 am

Sorry but it does take the michael that I've clearly put out the better tactics, I've thought about how Germany would set their stall out, I've done tactics to counterbalance it and exploit their weaknesses, I've pinpointed Boateng as the weak link in the team and stated that would be the main avenue of attack and people then just see a team sheet and vote 3-1 to Germany.

by Beer Wed 25 Apr 2012, 11:05 am

Hero wrote:Not when it's clearly unjustified.

How is it?

I felt Germany's tactics were shorter, direct and more concise, yours seemed to go on forever. Looking at the 2 sides i felt the German side would win. The scoreline reflects the fact that being behind you would go more attacking and direct to chase the game, the German's would take advantage and break up until the point you have Moutinho start taking pot shots at the keeper.

by **Hero** Wed 25 Apr 2012, 11:08 am

More concise?

Get the ball in the net, get back and help out if needed.

Telling a striker to shoot at the goal is not a tactic. You simply looked at the team sheets and voted. And at what point do I instruct Moutinho to start taking potshots? You're making tactics up for me now!

by Beer Wed 25 Apr 2012, 11:14 am

Sorry, not Moutinho, Meireles...

At 80m exchange Moutinho for Meireles and have him attempting shots from distance.

I voted you to lose. Get over it. It's just a game.

You don't hear me or anyone else crying about results. I used as many Greek references as i could remember to fire my side up, did i moan cause you voted for Poland? No.

by **Hero** Wed 25 Apr 2012, 11:15 am

It is just a game, it's just annoying that I've put a lot more effort in and I get voted down purely on a teamsheet vote.

by Beer Wed 25 Apr 2012, 11:17 am

It's not a teamsheet, it's my opinion. Which as a member of the human race and a participant of this game i am entitled to.

If it really bothers you, i'll happily review the score.

by **Hero** Wed 25 Apr 2012, 11:18 am

What's done is done

by Beer Wed 25 Apr 2012, 11:20 am

Good.

The nation of Greece look forward to you voting against them in future rounds!

by **Hero** Wed 25 Apr 2012, 11:22 am

I read everyones tactics and vote accordingly without prior prejudice cheers

As do Greece.

As a token gesture, our humble, debt ridden nation has commissioned it's 2 most talented artists to write a song to unite our nations.

Dappy and Tulisa will be in touch.

It tells you how to vote at the top of the vote page, pretty much read tactics and choose the results of all the matches except those in your group.

Fair enough, seeing as the tactics deadline was extended, so is the voting period.
