jimbowmanuk Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Well, it'll be interesting to see what teams who are already through do (Ukraine and Spain are through right?) Looking at the results thats what I worked out too, but interestingly only Poland and Iceland didn't have any players picked so when it comes to the quarters transfers they no guarantee of a full playing playing squad for anyone yet.

jimbowmanuk Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 The Final Spain 2 - 0 Croatia Spain dominated this match and never looked like losing, surprisingly though the manager opted to drop Iniesta for the final and he scored 0 points, along with Bojan and Silva who also didn't feature. Casillas had little to do between the sticks with the Croats only managing 1 shot on target so he earns 5 points for a clean sheet and 90 minutes, this was the same total as Pique. Fellow defender Ramos managed to get himself on the scoresheet and boosted his final points to 11 for the match. Xavi set up 1 of the goals and along with 90 minutes on the pitch recieves 5 points. Villa also played the full 90 but will be disappointed with only 1 attempt at goal so 2 points for him. For Croatia there were 4 players who didn't see anytime in the game and all scored 0 points they are as follows Delac, Srna, Olic and Kranjar. There were also 4 players who played the full 90 minutes with no extras, scoring 2 points each are Modric, Badelj, Eduardo and Rakitic. Corluka was the only other player to feature but he was injured in the 44th minute so 1 points for playing less than 60 minutes was wiped out by 2 goals leving him with -1 point for the match.

Just Jack wins with a total of 240 points, being the only player to make any changes for the final he capitalised greatly by scoring 28pts in the last match.

AidanofLfc was third with 222 points, closely behind him was Bergtaur with 219. Almondo came 5th with 211 points. William Hall finished with 193 points making no transfers during the whole competition. Last place goes to Shadaza with 183 points, his defensive selections letting him down.
