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…

55 points up to now with Alba and Forsberg today..If they do nothing then Vertonghen and Junozovic step in and Loris will get changed to Rui .I am sticking with my captain Shaquiri as I swapped Giroud out for him and made no gain and I can’t see the rest doing much to make a difference.
That’s a nice score Kruz fair play mate.
Cheers Matt
I thought I had 2 points more from Shaq from an FPL point of view,then remembered he was a forward in the Euros!
Yeah I know a few of those Euro changes are annoying especially since he plays in the wing anyway.
Has anyone got any confirmation on the date for this yet.
Player Prices
Player prices will change after the group stage depending on performance during the tournament. (Will we have to use our WC ?)
I don’t know the date but I’d imagine it will happen the night that the final group match ends.
So that means WC just before last match day any one else have any ides ???
That’s what I was thinking. Right now I’m thinking of selling Lewandowski and upgrading midfield. My backline is alright. It will all depend on the next round of matches to see who is going to more than likely go through.
You get a free wild card before the second phase starts, I think we’ll have two or three days between the end of the groups and the start of the knock out rounds so there’ll be plenty of time.
I thk your wrong Andy I thk what will happen is before round 16 starts players prices will go up so although you have unlimited transfers you will have to buy players @ higher prices , if you use your WC before the last MD which means will have to guess which players are going to increase.
We need some input from Management
Aye the price rise should come into play before you can use that WC but guessing which players will see that increase would be a nightmare, you’re best off just chasing points and seeing where the cards fall rather than trying to make a profit.
If it’s anything like the price rises in previous McD’s games I wouldn’t be overly concerned about them. From what I can remember very few players changed in price and nobody changed by more than 0.1, so forget about trying to make a profit.
Cheers Kop wasn’t trying to make a profit I assumed it will be the in form players that will go up therefore I will want some & at the same time try to avoid cost increase 😉
Spain vs Czech line ups
Sorry, just realised how small the print is above! Here you go…
Spain: De Gea, Juanfran, Ramos, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Iniesta, Fabregas, Silva, Nolito, Morata
Czech Republic: Cech, Kaderabek, Sivok, Hubnik, Limbersky, Darida, Plasil, Gebre-Selassie, Krejci, Rosicky, Necid.
Where the hell is TJ?!
Nice to see Nolito start 😉
Yeah, Nolito iis in form for sure so I’d be excited if I had him (went with Morata as Nolitio’s gametime was supposedly questionable according to various websites)!!
Still searching for a decent captain, Coleman, Fabregas or De Bruyne from today?
KDB
Thanks, that’s who I currently have it on.
Can’t you do Cesc first and then if he doesn’t score well move it on to KDB?
Don’t think it works like that.
Correct Shadow….
Deadlines
All transfers must be made by the matchday deadline in order to take effect for that set of matches.
Deadlines are subject to change and will be at the time of kick-off of the first match of the matchday.
Hmm captain dilemma for today (as with plenty others who didn’t (c) Payet): KdB, Morata, Forsberg (Sweden)? Who do you guys reckon?
Morata
Agree with Kop, Sanchez.
And I agree w/ the both of yous. Cheers, lads. Should be a good one today w/ Spain, Sweden, Belgium and Italy playing!
What about Ireland????????????? 😉
Sorry, yes, and Ireland (I do like their manager Martin O’Neil as well as the likes of Shane Long). I’m sure they’ll give Sweden a good go!
Hopefully!!
Sanchez, I’m leaving the armband on Payet, I’ve got KDB, Iniesta, Nolito and Ronaldo to play but i’m happy with the 20pts on Payet for this round
Sorry just saw you didn’t capt Payet my bad.
I’d go Morata 1st and then if he does nothing change to KDB after.
Not posible that Photek – you can only have one capo per day.
ah, i thought you could change it more
Has Morata got a knock or is he playing poor
I’m only following live text of the game Silvers but I don’t think he got a knock.
yes I’m the same , was thinking of bringing him in for nk matches for Lew who plays Germany ,these first games nobody wants to lose
Morata had quite a few chances but couldn’t put them away. Overall I think he played pretty well getting in good positions. On another day he prolly would have scored. Nolito on the other hand who looked to be on form during the build up to the Euros wasn’t as sharp. Iniesta played really well and ended up with an assist.
thanks FC def seem to be taking all the glory @ the moment wish I hadn’t taken Ron out of my team now oh well just after hope Port are as bad as everyone was saying.
I know NIN is everywhere but he’s not everyone!
