Prizes are £100, £50, £20. There are 85 players on the list, arranged in completely random order. Each has been assigned a number between 1 and 85. To play, pay your £2/£4 into the N-O Paypal account, via this button (we'll cover any fees so you won't go short if you win): MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE A NOTE WITH YOUR USERNAME AND THAT THE MONEY IS FOR THE SWEEP SO WE KNOW YOU'VE PAID! Once you've paid, pick your 1 or 2 numbers between 1 and 85, and post them in the thread - first paid, first served. I'll update the OP with who everyone has selected. sbnufc has a copy of the list, complete with numbers, so that you know I'm not picking your players for you ad hoc. If anyone gets injured before the tournament starts and is replaced in the squad, we'll work round it, either by keeping the replacement or letting you pick again. I don't like people having paid for players who aren't even there, ideally we'd draw it after all the friendlies are complete but that's not until Wednesday which gives us little time, so we'll just see what happens. Mentioned this in the other sweep thread but it got a bit lost. I did a top goalscorer sweep at work for the last WC, went pretty well so I'm doing it again for the Euros and I'll do it on here too if there's enough interest. Basically I'll put together a list of about 70-80 players, at least one from each country, either £1 or £2 a player, with 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes up for grabs. Rules are pretty simple - it's a sweep, so no changing your player. Golden Boot order is decided in the same way FIFA/UEFA do it, so goals first, then assists, then goals per minute. In the unlikely event that a player not on the list wins, the prize money for that place will be split equally between the amount of people who have a player from the same country as the winner - e.g. if Bacary Sagna wins a prize, then the money is split between the people who have Griezmann/Giroud/Martial etc etc. This might mean that if Albania Striker B wins, the person with the only Albanian on the list, Albania Striker A, will win the lot. Let me know if you're interested so I know if it's worth organising, and how much you'd be willing to pay - obviously the prize money doubles with £2 each. Paypal's probably the best way to do it. 1.

Wullie Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'd do it but not for money (dont see any point in putting money into something you have no control over, personally) Not sure what you mean, in that someone else will be picking your player? I'll just use a random number generator and I'm happy not to play personally, so there's no conflict of interest - tbh when I picked Karim Benzema in the World Cup one at work and he was briefly in the lead, I spent most of France's games willing him not to score so I couldn't be accused of fixing it. I'm hardly going to know who's going to win anyway, if I'd been fixing my last one, I certainly wouldn't have picked James Rodriguez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
