h2g2 fantasy football-second season
Created | Updated Mar 19, 2004
WORLD CUP FANTASY FOOTBALL PAGE NOW OPEN AT http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A747335 . PREDICTIONS ARE BEING TAKEN
Welcome to the second season of h2g2 fantasy football. the first season, arranged by Gedge, went right down to the wire with Otto narrowly beating Ormondroyd and my good self (Egon). Gedge's original site can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A627761
OTTO WINS THE LEAGUE! SEE A701083 FOR DETAILS
The h2g2 Virtual supporters club can be found here:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A243677
I'm having a little trouble with the codes needed to recreate gedge's page (they don't seem to work), but the league table, detailed rules and useful links are over there. I tried using Guide ML and pasting the codes from the diagnostic link I was given in the original fantasy football conversation forum, but it didn't work. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, let me know.
The general gist of the rules are: I pick five games, you predict a score and first goalscorer. eg Arsenal 1-0 Everton (Wiltord). There is one point available for predicting the right team to win (or predicting a draw correctly), two for predicting the right score, and two for predicting first goalscorer.
So, (with the correct score being 1-0 (wiltord)
Arsenal 1-0 Everton (wiltord)- 5 points [result, score, scorer]
Arsenal 1-0 Everton (henry)- 3 points [result, score]
Arsenal 2-0 Everton (wiltord)-3 points [result, scorer]
Arsenal 2-0 Everton (henry)- 1 point [result]
Arsenal 1-2 Everton (wiltord)- 2 points [scorer}
Arsenal 0-4 Everton (campbell)- 0 points [all wrong- but I get the full 5 for blind optimism]
Also, at the suggestion of Otto, correctly predicting a 0-0 draw will earn 5 points (there is no scorer to guess, so this counts as correct scorer)
Some good sites to look at are:
For English and scottish leagues- http://www.bbc.co.uk/football
For Italian football- http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia
For Dutch football- http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport/hi/english/static/football/europe/dutch.stm
German bundesliga- http://www.bundesliga.de/en/home/
For general European football: http://www.uefa.com
If there is any team you particularly want me to feature in the league, just let me know. You'll be seeing a lot of Everton by the way.
