Fat Jockey Yankee's - Captain's Required!

[Leman14]

... it's on a par with the Virgin Bet 'Fives' game when you reveal yet another left back as your goalscorer, so much fun...

It’s not just me that gets defenders and defensive midfielders then!

I think the F.J Wheel of Fortune will become a regular feature here , Once we've all had a go at being a Yankee Captain..
.

Will the wheel be seen again....

You bored Kev?

[Kevloaf]

You bored Kev?

Haha, it takes less than 60 seconds.... and I'm waiting for a McDonalds.... and I'm listening to a podcast about fantasy football....

So yes.

Like pub quizzes, the best team captains are the ones who recognise the merit of other people's answers rather than always go with their own. Consequently, and I haven't bothered checking who this is, the winner of the comp betting on the winner of the tipster contest is likely to be a better captain than the winner of the tipster contest - sorry Ryan, I'm sure you'll do a fine job as well.

Kev just a thought can you get more names on that wheel so when Diamond Geezer does the next tipping contest you can be doing the name into what group?
All joking aside it went well and looked good imho.
Take a bow sir

[Diamond Geezer]

I'd already thought of that and was going to take a look at this, it seems you can link to any website, and have any number of names on the wheel

It won't apply to the next comp though which will be The Fat Jockey Grand National which will be something a little different.

Loved that Kev, and that Music, just WOW

The deadline that Kevloaf placed on these yankees was Monday 15th March, this has always been an historical deadline because many members attend the festival and will be on the road/playing cards/drunk in a gutter and not always able to log in here.
As it looks likely, extremely likely (though not entirely confirmed charlie ), that none of us will be attending and potentially be forced to watch from our front rooms do we want to extend the deadline for each yankee to e.g 6pm the night before ?
Obviously the main yankee will need to be placed before kick off.
Feel free to ignore this Kevloaf, but for this year there should be far fewer people that have access issues during the week...

Yeah it crossed my mind, I suppose we can just see nearer the time...? I think we even did it Sunday some years didn't we.

No point shooting ourselves in the foot I suppose.

Sounds like a sensible suggestion to me.
