    You're talking out of your @rse.

    Ivory Coast and Spain are2 of the 3 most expensive teams when you factor in the weightings I gave and the combined proability of them reaching each stage in the World Cup.

    Believe it or not, the worst value is Argentina, but that hasn't stopped anyone.

    Incorrect. Switzerland are in the top 8 for value.

    Based off market prices around 20th May.

    Due to popular demand, entries will remain open until 8.59pm tonight.

    We have 50 entries so far. I expect to double that by tonight.

    Bar, any chance of some inside info into your view of the 'value' teams?

    Basically, my ratings are an attempt to neutralise teams, so everyone should be indifferent what teams they pick. I use probabilities implied from betting market. I them adjust teams like Spain, Argentina and Brazil down slightly to discourage them being picked. I should have done it more.

    1 wise man and 3 wannabees.

    I am having difficulty posting a leaderboard as it is telling me that there are images (there aren't any).

    Anyway, I will try and sort it out, but suffice to say the four lads above are clear leaders, with montyracing and bigeeps having also selected Algeria.

    My quick check, maybe wrong, puts Bigeeps and myself in good position.

    Bigeeps has 200pts plus any from 'Argentina' to my 'Holland' so the competition may be settled tonight.

    Apologies if anyone else can match this situation, please beg to differ if so.

    Good Luck Bigeeps, but hope the Argies lose - MR2
