Anyone in?

If I get enough names, I'll set it up as Andy has enough problems on this site.

I'm in. It will provide some interest after England have been sent home before they've even got sunburn.

Not 'arf. But more pertinently, I'm struggling to raise any enthusiasm for this competition. I could reel off all the teams in the EPL and probably half the squads, but I couldn't tell you which nations are playing in the Euros and would struggle to name over 50 players. I'll probably get me arse into gear a day or two before it starts and join in, but no guarantees.

3 in so far, I need at least 5 for the league and the auction dates. Liberal rules on transfers once tournament starts.

I had a look and registered my team but, boy, it looks really fiddly compared to the Premier League one. It's a far better contest to auction the players so that we can't have the same superstar in every team, but I might struggle to find the time to read all the rules such as how we sell/buy/transfer players and so on.

I assume we'll do the auction online rather than meet up in a noisy hostess bars trying to focus on the Ukrainian midfield with big boobies waving in our faces. Then again ....

The auction will be online, and that seems to be the only fiddly bit in the game. Remembering to submit your bids.

Scotland losing 5-1 to the USA? Oh, dear! Looks like a pretty good win for England against the might of Norway!
Mustn't belittle that, though. We don't have much of a record against Scandinavian teams.

Edit: I think you've got 5 now, Uncle.

I think they're all hedging.

The Dutch lost 1:0 against Bulgaria, the Germans 5:2 against Switzerland.

Got 6, so can wait a few more days before beginning.

So I'll press the begin auction button on Friday, and figure we'll need 3 auction rounds before the tournament starts as I suspect we'll all be going for the big hitters on the first round of bids.

I'll be following these rules but country quotas for players will go up in later stages

Do we all have to be online at the same time for the auction?
