Fantasy League, Classic Euro 2008 ...

They're like buses these Fantasy Football competitions. You wait an eternity for one and then they all come along at the one time! I'm not surprised by this to be fair as everyone was probably waiting for the Champions League Final to be out the way to give themselves a chance of as much exposure as possible.

On the back of the Daily Telegraph and Metro getting going, Fantasy Football inovators, Fantasy League, have their game up and running and ready for you all to get involved. With £10,000 worth of prizes on offer this game is another great one to have in your portfolio and if you already play the Fantasy League games you'll know how they work and how good they really are.

Entry to this competition costs £5 per team and you can have as many teams involved as you want. You have a budget of €100 million to pick a squad of 15 players. Teams can be in a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 formation and you are restricted to only two players from the same country in the group phases and three during the knockout phase. Each manager has 12 transfers to use during the tournament and unlimited substitutions so pick your squad wisely.

Daily Telegraph Fantasy Football...

Finally, after a very long wait another Euro 2008 Fantasy Football game has arrived! This could very well be the start of the deluge of new competitions and keep me on my toes over the next few weeks.

The Daily Telegraph does one of my favourite Fantasy Footy games and one of the most popular.They have today launched their competition for the European Championships in association with electrical store Comet.

The Telegraph competition regularly attracts over 200,000 entries during the regular season and though their is an undoubted apathy to this summer's tournament due to the lack of home nations involved, this competition will be sure to be a busy one.

With £25,000 up for grabs overall there are prizes for the top ten managers as well as a £1000 prize to the leader after the group stages. Entries cost £6 or you can pick three teams for £14 saving yourself a whopping £4. Each manager gets 20 transfers to be used at any time during the tournament so there's no need to buy the paper for transfer passwords like during the regular season competition. Scores and league tables will be updated every day.

Just like the UEFA.com competition we have set up a YOYWYW Super League for this competition. Register your team at the TFF site, go to the Super League tab and in the 'Join existing Super League' section type in 'Yodeller's Super League' for the league name and 'yodeller' for the password. See you there.
