Fantasy Basketball: France is ready, too

September 25, 2008

After we presented a German Bundesliga Fantasy League and created the BallinEurope.com division three weeks ago, today French website basketnews.net launched its own French ProA and ProB Fantasy League. Here is the way if you want to participate even if there is no possibility to create a private division.

First of all, you have to go to the specific website of the fantasy league, which you can find here. You create your account by clicking on “créer un compte” in the red box on the right side. Then you create your account by entering the normal characteristics and you can chose the English language, which is a great feature that neither the German nor the Spanish SuperManager (which we will also introduce to you in the next few days) offer.

So I created my own “BallinEurope.com” team today and if other readers want to compete with me, just publish your team name in the comments here so that I can make a follow up. And we will have our own private division here on BallinEurope.com. Good luck…

In our German division, though, the first day has not been as successful for my “Local Heroes” team as I have wished. With the injury of my center hope George Evans and the bad game by Derrick Allen, all my hopes for an early lead have been washed away. So the first congratulations go to uhg80, who managed to take the lead of the race with his “einbeinigen Blinden” team. So for those who are interested, here is the roster I used to start the season.

Guards

C. Hoffmann (Trier)
D. Bahiense de Mello (Frankfurt)
P. Günther (Ulm)
J. Jenkins (Berlin)
D. Raivio (Trier)

Forwards

J. Lischka (Gießen)
D. Allen (Frankfurt)
B. Bailey (Düsseldorf)
J. Gibbs (Ulm)

Center

T. Ohlbrecht (Bamberg)
G. Evans (Trier)
T. Pleiß (Köln)

    Too many Trier players to succeed 😉

    Guess I’ll check out the French Fantasy League, but I have absolutely no idea about french ProA.

    My division winning team from Germany:

    Rivera (Bamberg)
    Geib (Düsseldorf)
    de Mello (Frankfurt)
    Salisbery (Braunschweig)

    Slaughter (B’haven) YAY!
    Nadjfeji (ALBA)
    Watts (Loserburg)
    McGhee (Nördlingen)
    Schwethelm (Köln)

    Katic (Tübingen)
    Ohlbrecht (Bamberg)
    Nolte (Paderborn)

    Nolte and McGhee are putting up solid numbers again, right now. I’m confident.

    Okay, I assembled a roster now, completely without a plan or any thinking. So I named my team “Scouted by Don Beck”.

    @uhg80
    The alternative could have been Scouted by Joe Whelton I guess 😉

    Uh, riiiiight, that guy…
    I didn’t want to reopen old wounds in Trier, so I avoided this name. Nah, I just forgot about him 😉

    Ok

    I created a kick-ass French team, but I can’t enter the German league. I enter the site normally, but the fantasy game isn’t working for me

    Anyway, my French team is under the name “wardjdim”

    Supermanager, don’t try to beat me, man 🙂 It’s not worth your time 😛
