Fantasy Euro 2012 Update

We are halfway (ish) through the first Bullets Blog soccer fantasy game ever. Personally, I'm in love. But that could just be because I'm crushing everyone with no regard for human life. Here's where everyone stands:


  1. Team Jay (103 points, 8 players remaining)
  2. Team Brendan (70 points, 10 players remaining)
  3. Team Alex (67 points, 8 players remaining)
  4. Team Toph (57 points, 8 players remaining)
Poor Chris. 

The silver lining for him, of course, is that he got the first pick in the one-round-supplemental-player draft. Which played out like this:
  1. Team Chris - Fernando Torres (F, Spain)
  2. Team Alex - Wayne Rooney (F, England)
  3. Team Brendan - Mats Hummels (D, Germany)
  4. Team Jay - Cesc Fabregas (M, Spain)
Torres and Rooney were the obvious first two picks. Hummels was a pretty easy choice. I took Fabregas because dickhead Toph took Torres. 

The 14 Best Fantasy Scorers
1. 23 points - Iker Casillas, G, Spain (Brendan) - 2 shutouts, 1 one-goalers, 10 saves
2. 21 points - Joe Hart, G, England (Alex) - 1 shutout, 1 one-goaler, 13 saves
3. 17 points - Maarten Stekelenburg, G, Netherlands (Jay) - 1 one-goaler, 14 saves
4. 15 points - Mario Gomez, F, Germany (Jay) - 3 goals, 1 assist (first pick in the draft)
5. 14 points - David Silva, M, Spain (Jay) - 1 goal, 3 assists
6. (tie) 13 points - Sergio Ramos, D, Spain (Brendan) and Gerard Pique D, Spain (Alex) - 2 shutouts, 1 one-goaler apiece
6. (tie) 13 points - Hugo Lloris, G, France (Toph) - 1 shutout, 1 one-goaler, 5 saves
9. (tie) 11 points - Andrea Pirlo, M, Italy (Brendan) - 1 goal, 2 assists 
9. (tie) 11 points - Philipp Lahm, D, Germany (Jay) and Giorgio Chiellini, D, Italy (Jay) - 1 shutout, 2 one-goalers each
12. (tie) 9 points - Andrei Arshavin, F, Russia (Jay) - 3 assists
12. (tie) 9 points - Ignashevich, D, Russia (Toph) and Anyukov, D, Russia (Toph) - 3 one-goalers

So yeah, needless to say Toph is in last place.
