So the rules are very simple…

In fact there ONLY two:

1) You can select any player from any European Championship from Sweden 92 to the 2020 edition where they played a MINIMUM of three games. When selecting your player you have to state which Euros you’re selecting them from.

We’re NOT judging players on overall Euros careers, just the Euros that you’ve selected them from.

For example, if you wanted to select Kevin Kuranyi you’d have to specify which one of his two qualifying Euros you’re picking him from. Draft posts would then ideally look like this:

“I select Kevin Kuranyi – Germany - Euro 2004

Insert reasons for selection here.


1712169827677.jpeg



@next user it’s your turn”


2) You can only select ONE player per nation. Before you start crying about this:

It’s a EUROPEAN championship so teams should be as continental as possible. We don’t want teams looking like this…


1712169894208.jpeg



This leaves over 1000 players from almost 40 countries. We’ll be picking 17 rounds so there should be more than enough players to pick from.

Please try and remember that it's a Euros game so ideally you'd pick players based primarily on that basis.

I have implemented a secret buff and nerf criteria for each player so mediocre players who had good tournaments will be rewarded and vice versa.

All will be revealed after the game!

If you don’t follow these rules there will be some pretty savage penalties, so be warned.

One footnote: if you select a player from the USSR in 1992 you are not allowed to draft a player from Russia. Yes, they’re technically different but Russia inherited their FIFA place so for this game that’s not allowed. Same thing with countries where there’s a slight name change.

In terms of admin…
  • When offline, each member will get 2 hours to make their pick, if you miss the window then your pick will be chosen by the Rexdomizer ™.
  • If the next picker is online and active in discussion he has only 20 minutes to make his pick
  • The game will be frozen each night at 9pm GMT and resume at 9am GMT the following morning. You are still free to make your pick in this period if you want to but are under no obligation to do so.
  • The draft order will be drawn at random and will follow the 3rd round reverse snake format. So the same as last time where we flip the order after the second round. This should stop anyone building up an unfair advantage by going first.
AGAIN, You need to draft a starting XI and five outfield substitutes. The 17th round will consist of backup goalkeepers. You have to draft one Goalkeeper in the first 11 rounds.

Good luck everyone and sign up now!!

Since the prick above me took my top choice, I’ll go Griezmann, France, 2016. Maybe not the sexiest name for a top pick, but more practical than it might seem.

6 goals, 2 assists. Euro winner. Golden Ball. Team AND player of the tournament. As far as top performances in a tournament go, this is difficult, if not impossible to beat.

Euro 2000 was the best Euros ever, so picking from the team that won it shows how good this guy was...and he happened to be an Arsenal legend...

CloacZfWIAA0oDF.jpg



Patrick Vieira, Euro 2000.

During a tournament of top teams, France were THE top team and this guy was arguably their best all round player...dominated games on his own, so important offensively and defensively, technically and tactically...the best box to box ever, champion and team of the tournament!

A true "Invincible" midfielder I guess you could say ;)

So to break up the run of frogs there was only ever going to be one choice when I'm on the board.

Nationality compels me to do it... 🐑

An incredible tournament where he carried a rank outsider all the way to the semi final pulling off some huge victories and banging in the goals from everywhere.

It's WALES. Golf. Madrid himself - Gareth Bale, Euro 2016

@db10_therza and @albakos you boys are up!

Coming from a national team that made it to the Euros through the wildcard and gone all the way to win the whole thing.

That Denmark team had no rights to even think of competing, but they had a man-mountain between the sticks who led his nation to their biggest success in history.

It's Peter Schmeichel 1992

The main man in a team that kept three clean sheets and only conceced 4 in 7 in total. Pretty much won the semifinal and final for his team with his heroics in consecutive penalty shoot outs and was rightly crowned Player of the tournament.

I pick Gianluigi Donnarumma - Italy - Euro 2020

Patrick Kluivert, Euro 2000

One of the players that threatened to carry Netherlands all the way on his shoulders, who were home this time. He opened his account against Denmark in the second group game, but announced himself agains the then world champions France, in the next game, with his low flying tracer bullet goal in the 4th minute.

But no, he wasnt done yet, he went on to score 4 more goals in Holland's next two games, including a magnificent hattrick against Yugoslavia. Netherlands burned so brightly in that tournament, its a shame they couldnt go far enough.

Pavel Nedved (Euro 2004)

1712408848738.png

One of my favorite playmakers ever, although was gutted for Henry when he won Ballon d'or ahead of him. Had an absolutely vintage Euro 2004 carrying Czech to the semis, beating Netherlands, Germany and Denmark in the process.


Of course he was in the team of the tournament, that goes without saying.

Ok so @Taylor Gang Gunners has decided to take a holiday and after a solid three hours of waiting he's going to get randomised to keep things moving.

I have never heard of this donny before but he's been given a Turkish centre back from Euro 1996

1712412426235.png


That's right it's the "legendary" Ogün Temizkanoğlu from Turkey in Euros 1996...

This could honestly have been even worse :lol:

@Taylor Gang Gunners I will move you to the end of round 2 to avoid double randomiser. Up you go @Clrnc

David Silva, Euro 2012

The maestro himself, Spain's metronome and killer when needed. In the form of his life during the tournament and at this time, not only in Europe but in the world. Two goals and 4 assists to help Espana to their 2012 European title. Able to drop into midfield and push up into forward positions at the same time. This man was inevitable.
