Fantasy Football...where are they all?

With the tournament only 21 days away I find it astonishing that only the official UEFA site has their competition in place and accepting entrants. Hopefully with the Champions League Final coming up and domestic football coming to an end over the next week we will see an influx of games appearing and we can get down to the real business of what this blog is about...Euro 2008 Fantasy Football!!

You can still get entered into the YOYWYW/UEFA.com Super League by signing up at the official tournament website, going to the Leagues tab and entering the code 52-10. If you spot any other competitions that are already out there that I may have missed then please leave a comment and let me know...CHEERS

In the meantime, here's a bit of REAL fantasy football just to keep you ticking over...

YOYWYW Super League

After Matchday One of the UEFA.com Euro 2008 Fantasy Football warm up competition the YOYWYW Super League players had mixed fortunes. The leader so far is Donald Larmour and his side Euro Warriors who scored a decent 47 points. With the highest scoring side managing 76 points Donald finds himself sitting in 1,148th of the 29,891 total players. Here's the full Yodellers league table so far...
