ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 6:14 pm

I've been waiting for the game to launch and finally it has. As always, we are using the official Fifa game and the details are in the announcement above.

To join follow the link below:

Brilliant. I’m in.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Fri Jun 08, 2018 1:27 pm

Count me in.

Edit - Have tried to pay for an entry but payment link doesn't seem to work. Nothing happens when I click 'Buy Now'.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Fri Jun 08, 2018 3:50 pm

Indigo, I’m sure Tony will answer this query later on.

It’s a great little fantasy game and even though the window for joining is always just over a week, we usually get 30 to 50 players. Hope lots more people join.

Having the same problems as IndigoLake, when I click on the "Buy Now" link nothing loads up and I stay on the article page.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Fri Jun 08, 2018 5:56 pm

I can't get it to work either, I'll take a look.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Fri Jun 08, 2018 6:02 pm

No idea what the problem was but wondered why there'd been no interest.

Hopefully will work now.

No idea what had happened but just re-added the code and it worked.

All sorted now!

Yes, I think I've played this one a couple of times now. Never win it though, lol

I'm in.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Fri Jun 08, 2018 8:58 pm

It's certainly working now - seven of us in now

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Fri Jun 08, 2018 9:47 pm

Really promising start. Get yourself entered folks. It’s a really good setup

MDWat · Post by **MDWat** » Fri Jun 08, 2018 9:47 pm

The rules make this one more fun in a short space of time. I never remember the rules though so I’m as bad as the usual fantasy game.

You never stick to the rules in any case

MDWat · Post by **MDWat** » Sat Jun 09, 2018 1:43 pm

Hard to argue...

Another bump - the more the better!

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Sat Jun 09, 2018 4:20 pm

Bump.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jun 09, 2018 6:41 pm

Nine of us in so far

WM1882 · Post by **WM1882** » Sat Jun 09, 2018 8:52 pm

Paid. Cheers.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jun 09, 2018 8:55 pm

Going well now - up to 11 and all codes sent out

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Sun Jun 10, 2018 10:54 am

Bump!

Great numbers so far. Don’t forget, half of what you pay to enter is going to such a good cause, The Youth Foundation!

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Sun Jun 10, 2018 11:03 am

There’s a great app for the game too, which is available for ios and Android users.

paid for two entries (one for me one for nephew). Thanks

The last thing I want is to be watching a World Cup game hoping for a 0-0 so defenders get points.

I'll donate, just won't participate.

Thanks received and entered both.

In my haste I just put the cheesy Proudsville thinking I'll amend it later. Mmm, can't find anywhere to amend the team name like you can in the Premier League game

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Mon Jun 11, 2018 4:05 pm

Five more to give us our first 20!!

Tony - I have a hatred of paypal so I have just transferred £10 to the youth foundation account so I am in.

I will last about as long as England!

Just seen this ty - will send you the code.

Up to £90 prize money now.

MDWat · Post by **MDWat** » Mon Jun 11, 2018 9:01 pm

Not long to go now. Let’s get up to 30.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Tue Jun 12, 2018 6:38 am

Bump.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Tue Jun 12, 2018 11:27 am

Just one more needed to take prize fund to £100

MDWat · Post by **MDWat** » Tue Jun 12, 2018 2:01 pm

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Tue Jun 12, 2018 3:04 pm

Prize fund now £100 - two days to go before kick off

northernpowerhouse · Post by **northernpowerhouse** » Tue Jun 12, 2018 3:36 pm

I'm well up for this. Just a heads up regarding the rules: you can make subs after a match day so if one of your first XI does badly you can sub them out for someone playing the next day. Makes sense to have some decent players on the bench then.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Tue Jun 12, 2018 4:03 pm

One more entry - prize fund now £105

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Tue Jun 12, 2018 8:29 pm

Northern, right you are!

Just seven more gives us 30. Just under 48 hours to get yourself involved.

Get entered.

It will be a great way of watching your team when England are on their way home.

It is the cost of 3 pints.

I did read this rule and thought I was wrong. Seems a ludicrous rule and no idea why they always seem to over complicate things like this. But still entered all the same. With a **** bench too!

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 6:46 am

Just a day and a half to go now folks. Hopefully there’ll be a few more entries before kickoff tomorrow evening.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 7:17 am

Six more for a £150 pot!
