Nad I have tried to explain to carmine how to sort this out . Maybe you could send him the idiot guide or something?

In the meantime here's a quick pic of him at the internet shop this morning......

[smokie36]

:unsure:Well Smokes, I picked two of them neither was Rooney I think.

Ashley Cole and King. I reckon on them being busy at the back.

See the English always have to get it in. No matter what.

[StevieH]

hehe.

i picked a side with no english players in. not on purpose, just happened that way.

Mine's got Gerrard and Rooney in it. I might have to dump F****g Wayne F****g Rooney sharpish if he gets sent off for abusive language!

be interesting to see if refs really do crack down on it as fifa has said. there's a fine line between the respect campaign and sending off a couple of the tournament's most marketable shirt-selling stars.

Come on lads who are you,you wouldn't want to be bin bagged would you now!

^more importantly i hope they crack down on diving,time wasting and unsporting behaviour,ie telling the refs when to book players...drives me nuts....that would be a start!

Carmine it is easy if you read the instructions

Also any more people want to join before kick-off tonight,please verify your team name on this thread so i can add you before the comp starts.

Cheers Nads

I'm the same mate. So i have now adjusted my team.

[NADTATIDA1]

Ok lads the early scores on the boards...... just to point out that i have used quite a few of my transfers up already ....but for most there is certainly room for improvement and time to do so!

Up there to be shot at as they say,come on lads manage your teams.

Yeah thanks mate I got the transfer thing now....thanks for making us all aware of that from the beginning.....

Teams entered so far, have a few more who have said they will enter so with a day or so to go looks like we will have a pretty good league to play at.

There is also a private league championship which takes the best 5 scores average from each league so we can challenge other leagues in that championship.

I would say to all the participants to read up on the transfer and basic rules for team changes and scoring points.

Also at the end of the day it is a bit of fun and interest for board members to pit there football knowledge and luck against each other in the World Cup!Anyone who wishes to join up must do so before the first game,so keep em coming.

Nads.

Always read the instructions on the box first! come on Smokie plenty of time left yet....

[smokie36]

I've now made more changes than West Ham will this summer!

[bkkjames]

I made two changes, Fat Frank and Evra out.

[madmitch]

I'm doing total rubbish at the moment but I'll come good, just wait and see!

[StevieH]

i can never be bothered making changes on these things. seems like more hassle than it's worth.

Team Changes

Had enough of your midfield maestro's ego? Has injury robbed you of your inspirational forward? Or have you simply found a better defender to marshall your back four?

If you want to make changes to your team then you're going to have use a transfer:

• Before the first game of the tournament, you can make unlimited changes to your team, meaning you can fine tune your selection right up to the big kick-off.
• Once the tournament has begun you will receive 30 transfers to use during the tournament.
• You can use a maximum of 15 transfers in a Game Period and there are two Game Periods so be careful not to use all your transfers before the final.<LI sizset="0" sizcache="7">The Game Periods are:
  Game PeriodWorld Cup StageStartEnd Game Period 1Group matches11/06/10 15:00:0025/06/10 23:59:59Game Period 2Knockout matches26/06/10 00:00:0012/07/10 00:00:00
  
• Transfers can be made at anytime, but must be completed before the scheduled kick-off time of the incoming player's next match in order to score points from that match.
• When making transfers you must stay within the players per nation quota and use either a 4-3-3, 4-4-2 or 5-3-2 formation.
• Remember, in the group stage you are restricted to two players per nation. It goes up to three per nation in the first two rounds of the knockout stages and then you can select four players from any one nation for the semifinal, third placed play-off and the final.
• To make a transfer login to your team and click on Make Transfers.

Ok lads used all my transfers now so there to be shot at .....3rd in the overall competition so quite lofty at the moment lol.

The Private league championship we are in 129th position with 160 points this takes the top 5 scores from your league and totals them.

So i see most of you have not attempted to make transfers but are probably saving them remember 15 transfers to be used up until the 25th june and then you get another 15 transfers until the end of the tournament.

Who is washington United by the way confirm by private mail or on here please and i will accept you ......we could do with you ...Good luck all!!

[smokie36]

Things are looking up......just need Kaka to score a hat-trick in a 3-0 win today.....

[smokie36]

JOINT 3RD NOW DIZZY!! UP THERE!

[smokie36]

What a disappointment....even Cesar let me down......only the Spanish can save me now.....

[bkkjames]

Do you get any points for being last? I have changed my Team Name out of Embarrassment

[sharecropper]

I was disappointed with my own lack of footy nous. Yesterday I decided to get rid of a Brazilian defender,as I had two, and to put likely-to-free-score Kaka in instead.

I had Macon and Alves, and, not really knowing much about them, with a click of the mouse I decided to delete Macon.

BIG mistake!
