Euro 2016 Fantasy Football Live Match Chat – The Group Stages
And we’re very nearly there. Just a bit of last minute tinkering before it all begins and another summer of wondering when England will be home will be over in about a week or so! We’ve opened the discussion a bit early so feel free to post up those last minute Rate My Teams and post any questions you have on any of the squads or potential team selections. We are blessed with a truly international community so we are sure you will get some answers to almost any concern you may have. Questions regarding what the Dutch are doing this summer are summarily banned though. Oh ok, who are we kidding. First to get Raz to come out from under his anti-Euro blanket wins a t-shirt!
As ever, just as with FPL – post your scores, your match comments, your highs, your lows or just whatever you’re about to have for dinner. Don’t forget that you can make team changes daily with captains altered as well as line-up swaps as no doubt the site screwing up your changes as per every year but either way get involved as usual. It’s sure to be a fun ride. And please, please, whatever you do – don’t let Init win it again…

Calvin Clyne
The hell is Kane still on corners for?!
Kop Warrior
Woy has obviously been hanging out with LVG!!
webstar87
Should definitely be Phil Jones on em.
Kop Warrior
Kop Warrior
Russia are so bad they’ve made England look good.
Calvin Clyne
I’m always our first detractor but we’ve played really well!
Kop Warrior
Russia made ye look good and he still couldn’t win!
Kop Warrior
*ye
Andy
Yeah, I was very impressed with how we played tonight as well, shame about the late goal as that could have gone anywhere.
NIN
Agreed, Wales are gonna beat them.
TheDreamers
Somewhat thrown away
NIN
Yeah, by the manager via squad / team selection!
Kop Warrior
NIN you were right about Sterling
Calvin Clyne
You’re all mental
TheDreamers
Whys that Cc?
Calvin Clyne
Because that’s the best I’ve seen us play for years. Don’t know what game everyone else was watching.
Kop Warrior
Don’t worry CC you’ll wake up soon!!
inittowinit
My kids fell asleep watching it! Literally.
Kop Warrior
They were the lucky ones
NIN
So it’s the best England have played in years yet they couldn’t beat one of the weakest Russian sides in a long time… interesting.
inittowinit
It’s all relative I guess NIN but CC just likes an argument! From where I was sitting I saw what I thought I would see – a functional performance against a poor Russian team. Nothing exciting from our end. A 1-0 victory in the bag and not enough intelligence to see that out to its logical conclusion. Pretty poor all told. Pretty much what we all expected.
Calvin Clyne
Like I said, mental! We were pressing when normally we’re content to stay 10ft off the ball at all times. We didn’t just do the usual pass along the back 4 for a minute and good it upfield to no one in particular either.
Not saying it was a tournament-winning performance but compared with the drivel I’ve become accustomed to watching it was a breath of fresh air!
inittowinit
Yeah, worked really well. Zzzzzzzzz…..,
NIN
Okay but does it not frustrate that the result still didn’t come, and that it most likely would have if the team was set right? I’m not even English and it annoys me
inittowinit
Past caring mate. Read Article B for evidence
All I care about in this tournament is my team. #teaminit 😉
NIN
I really think it was an awful team selection. Just awful. I seen most of the game but i cant think of one player that the system got the best out of. Not one.
Cookie
Nothing new there mate
NIN
Still better than Ireland though, just :hippo:
Wafflez
And they still got one point
Cookie
England have to get Vardy and Wilshere on that pitch from the start. At the expense of La Llama and Raheeeem.
Kop Warrior
I actually thought Lallana was one of your better players tonight.
Cookie
Only saw the last 25mins but if we can’t even play our best players….
TheDreamers
Cookie , what formation? Crazy amount of questions going into a tournament. Could you pick say 10 of the team beforehand? No. Pick the formation? Nope.
Bottled the Rooney call. Personally think Sturridge shud play ( and not Vardy) in a 4:4:2.
Cookie
Dreamers, Sturridge is another, you’re right. Formation I’ll be honest and say I’m not sure about. But let’s be honest, and as much as I give him stick during the season, Wheelchair is our most talented midfielder. Yet we don’t play him.
It’s been proven that kane only does well when Dembele plays with him, so try and replicate that somehow.
No-one can convince me that La Llama is worthy of a start. Sterling is dog shit and only ever looked good alongside Suarez.
inittowinit
That was a Glushakov goal! #disgrace 😉
inittowinit
Dier should only get 5 for that goal as well as they’ve misclassified him as a mid. E-mail sent
Cookie
Been reverted back to 6 now mate, so whatever you said it had the desired result, ta
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Evening all, i’ve not been around as i’m mad busy. There is only one thing to say about Engerland.
:big-lol:
:big-lol:
inittowinit
But you said it twice
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
So. Don’t matter how many times you say it. Its the same old story. :p
inittowinit
Indeed Elle. I’m bored of them also.
