Vision
"Show class, have pride, and display character.
If you do, winning takes care of itself." -Paul ""Bear" Bryant Team Vision and goals is to be ruthless but fair, efficient yet spontaneous and play with flair and imagination. To break down barriers, make grown men cry with unbridled joy and have europeon nations bow down at our feet proclaiming undying allegiance. Our team will produce 90 minutes of pure footballing orgasmic fulfillment, parading through the tournament like a prize stallion. Finally, when crowned champions (wipes away tear while typing...) we'll have our names forever proclaimed as Gods in the FFS world forever more." "In Like Flynn and China Mag (assisted by Mrs China Mag) have agreed to put to their differences to one side after Flynn’s beloved Brighton ruined Newcastle’s FA cup dreams, despite the toon having their name on the trophy (according to China Mag), to team up for their first attempt at non premier league competition. China Mag claims to be the most experienced manager in the whole of the tournament. Make that the whole of the wider fantasy football community, after competing in the inaugural season of fantasy football in 90 minutes magazine 20 years ago. Yes 20 years!! This isn’t reflected in his highest overall rank, but since finding FFS a season and a half ago, he has really come into his own. He will argue till he is blue in the face that if last season had started in week 8, he would have finished inside the top 100. Maybe even higher than ENR! Not much is known about In Like Flynn, other than obsession with the south coast’s finest. In fact he has become somewhat of a recluse in the lead up to the tournament and was unavailable for comment when approached for an interview. This unlikely pairing won’t be favourites with the bookies, but will take encouragement from the fact that two out of the last five tournaments have been won by rank outsiders. There are no real surprises in either squads, with both managers choosing to put their faith in the combined knowledge of their fellow FFS compadres. Although China Mag’s Ashley Young pick may raise a few eyebrows. As this is both managers’ debut in this format of the game, they just plan to enjoy themselves, without the pressure of actually winning. But they will be hoping to get an easy group, and if they manage to scrape out of the group stage into the knockout stage of the competition then anything can happen. China Mag has an unenviable record of never getting past the 2nd stage of ANY head to head competition but there would be no better time for him to break that hoodoo." To bring glory to the UEFA council by obliterating all opposition on our way to capturing the trophy in the name of the mighty council! We will of course add to the great atmosphere of the Euro 2012 competition with banter and press conferences but that is to be expected of the competition organizers and the greatest team in the Euros! All those in the path of Symbolic Tryst should prepare themselves for humiliation!
p.s. A special thanks to Roscola for the name suggestion! We both have a shared vision to achieve success in this competition; through hard work, attentiveness and respecting every decision made. Our goals are to win the comp first and foremost, and secondly to have fun.
While dreaming of seeing England bring the trophy home, the deadly managerial combo known as Parmanista are also harbouring a less deluded vision, that of triumph in FFS UEFA Euro 2012. Some may be talking of emulating underdogs like Denmark 1992 or Greece 2004 but this team is gunning for an emphatic triumph in the manner of Netherlands 1988. If such lofty goals fail then the team will settle for simply not doing as badly as Doosra and Ginkapo. With Italian blood running through his veins Milanista dreams of using Parmtree's position at UEFA to engage in some chicanery. Being a more honourable chap, Parmtree's goal is to maintain some integrity in the competition, something rumoured to have been absent from El Nino's Champions League tournament.
"It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, we are the masters of our fate, we are the captains of our soul" Vision - To dish out pain and angst in equal measures to our adversaries, Goals - To have fun and succeed in the competition. Blah, blah, blah, Boring I know, but we'll be letting the team do the talking
Our vision is nothing less than total domination of the Fantasy Football sphere, starting with Euro 2012 and ending with the Intergalactic Fantasy Conglomerate of 2062. It is a 50 year plan. For the first time in fantasy history we will achieve that which has eluded so many: a fully successful synthesis of statistical data and gut feeling. Along the way, expected side-benefits of the approach are: cure for the common cold, reduction in infant mortality and free blowjobs from Salma Hayek for The Council. The first pillar of the 50 year plan is to use the Euro tournament to continue our learning of the great fantasy game. An alternative format to FPL should provide insight into the core fantasy principles and through it we can become more proficient. The more we learn the more we can contribute to the FFS community, perhaps one day easing the burden on the esteemed Council. (Are our noses brown enough yet?)
To win stylishly and comfortably but no so comfortably that we embarrass our opponents. And to have more fun than anyone else!
We aim to thrill you all with a slalom of Doosra differentials and Ginkapo flair. We will be sporting, witty and fair! We will bring joy to your heads and a song to your hearts with a team that amazes - but starts!!!
Winning is another thing ... Team Vision 1
Cruising down the old commie highways of East Europe, Outkast Bomb's over Baghdad style Opponents' knees trembling, adjourning female posteriors positively pumping. Caviare, champagne and clearance points all the way to Kiev. Oh, yeah! Team Vision 2 To dream ... the impossible dream ... To fight ... the unbeatable foe ... To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ... To run ... where the brave dare not go ... To right ... the unrightable wrong ... To love ... pure and chaste from afar ... To try ... when your arms are too weary ... To reach ... the unreachable star .. This is my quest, to follow that star ... No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ... To fight for the right, without question or pause ... To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ... And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest, That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm, when I'm laid to my rest ... And the world will be better for this: That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove, with his last ounce of courage, To reach ... the unreachable star ... To reach the unreachable star, that's our aim. We're coming home
We're coming home We're coming Super Tourists are coming home Everyone seems to know the score ENRs seen it all before They just know They're so sure That Doos is gonna Throw it away Gonna blow it away But I know he can play Cos' I remember CHRISTINA WEARS A SKIRT! We have a dream....a dream of two underdogs uniting to form a dynamic due and wrestling our opposition to submission before stolling hand in hand to victory. Our goals are automatic qualification (we are on a promise from Parmtree but this can be extended to other members of the council. We are seeking European domination without the luck of the irish. Hopefully we can invest in the English for the final but without a doubt we have the flair of the Spanish and the resilience of the Germans. We are here to play.
We will strive to terminate all opposition through relentless scouting and merciless tactics. But in the most chivalrous, polite way possible, with courtesy granted to worthy challengers and fair maidens on the FFScout boards. We will embark on bold and dangerous quests to employ the most obscure and unfancied of players in pursuit of victory. Yes, even English ones. But woe betide any player who lets us down. He will be terminated.
We believe that glory comes from taking risks, and we will honour those who embody this spirit of adventure. We will do so by issuing a select award every Matchday known as ""The Order of Extreme Valour"" to the manager who takes the riskiest successful gamble. Our goal is to triumph. But to triumph with a sense of fair play, a jolly good show, and possibly a friendly pint if the bar is still standing. World domination.....errrrr..... we mean peace. world peace.
Vision
Southern Hemesphere team for World Domination!!! Goals 1. To replicate our Big Mac Worldcup form with our top 10 (Jafa) and top 200 (Demented) results, and 2.

We shalt not even refrain from dropping our chin guards if it helps our cause. =P
