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…

Hungary 1-0
Dragovic sent off
Sheesh, he was a pretty popular pick too…
I was saying to a good few people not to pick him but mainly because I thought he was still injured, looks like I was right not to pick him just for the wrong reason haha
Ha! I did include him in a few drafts but went with Rami in the end. Better, but still crap
Darmian over Gia went well too. Subbed out at 58 vs goal + cs. Great.
Unlucky mate. I had Milik and Blaszczykowski over Lewy and Perisic so those moves didn’t work out either.
Should make myself clear! I had Milik and Blaszczykowski but went with Perisic and Lewy in the end
Bah, shite. Perisic hit the bar too :noshake:
Yeah I had a few lads hit the post to be honest. Dzemaili came within an inch of the bottom corner. It feels like it’s going to be a tournament of near misses.
4m Portuguese left back starts!! Let’s go captain Ronny too, time to catch up!
let’s hope he gets a CS and plays well, so he can play again.
That’s that goneski. Great cross.
That’s good, i’ll keep him for the next round so.
Yeah, I feel him playing even one game is value for money at 4m. Everything else will be a bonus!
Indeed. Cant beat a good 4m starter!
Anyone who’s got Ronaldo and is logged into their team, how much is he please? Just planning transfers but can’t see the players!
He’s 12m mate, only one in the game i think :thumbup:
Bollocks, had a feeling he might be. Wanted to switch Lewan to him. Thanks anyway.
Yeah, Lewy 11.5, Ibra 11 and then a few 10.5’s. Ronny is defo 12m. I might wildcard for the laugh
He’s looked ok today and could have a goal and assist already. Austria and Hungary next could be prime capo material for him. Austria looked poor. Which was surprising. Might be worth a small hit after all.
I dunno, they’re struggling with Iceland here..
They did a job on him. This is his trouble when it’s just him essentially. Same with Ibra.
Yep. It’s shocking to see how bad they are, Finbogasson could have won it even! Crazy but history says this is a tough group for the Portuguese.
That wasnt the case Init. Ronaldo was by far our worst player tonight. I’m a fan, as you know, but he wasnt sharp at all. Could’ve scored? Surely. He always can at some point In a game. But he didnt. Portugal dominated the game but failed to materialize and Bjork had two chances and scored one. There’s your reality check of course. Still rate them to win the group but this was of course a bummer given the inability to react to their goal and We did had a whole half to do that. Fantasy wise, André Gomes seems a good shout If you’re looking for a punt. Guerreiro will keep is place – was one of the best tonight – and there’s a chance that Cedric will feature instead of Vierinha who looked particulary bad In their goal.
No he wasn’t! He suffers from over attention at times. Both from the opposition and from viewers. Everything is watched and analysed that much more for him. Was he worse than Nani, Mario, Moutinho? Nah I don’t think so.
Ok Moutinho struggled a lot. Mário didnt cope well with the euro debut and all but Ronaldo should’ve burried that long ball In the first half. Then, on the second half, he was supposed to come deeper as he did in the first and he didnt. Anyway I guess what I’m saying is that he doesn’t look like 12m material at the moment. That being said, I’m keeping him. Obviously.
How many transfers are people planning to make? -4 seems such a big number when it’s really for a single game! Ended on 60 points so bit great but not terrible. Can’t decide when is best to WC but just seems too soon right now As it may be a god send in later rounds !
Just one for me I think. Usually in these the WC is very handy for Match Day 3 as a good number of teams are out or through already but this time will be different with the 3rd spots qualifying. Most should still have a shout on the last day this time so we won’t see as much rotation if any at all really.
I’m guessing anyone who has Lewandowski is considering selling him tonight? Who are people thinking of replacing him with? Right now I’m thinking of taking a hit to see Lewy and replace the probably injured Junuzovic, worth it?
Depends who you’re buying!
Well I could do Junuzovic to Payet which leaves me with 9.5 to replace Lewandowski. Or I do Junuzovic to Brady and Lewy to Ronaldo?
I’d probably be looking more at upgrading midfield than anything else. Not many goals being scored in these matches.
Payet and Morata might be a nice combo. I’m assuming you already have Giroud.
Yeah Payet and Morata were two names I thought of but Morata came off early the other day so I’m unsure if he’s 100% plus the Spanish weren’t that great either.
I didn’t see that game Matt but the comments on him since we’re all that his movement was great and he’s got goals in him and should continue to start. And that he probably wasn’t 100% too!
Yeah all the comments I read said the same thing. He supposedly should have had a goal in that game but was unlucky. I probably will bring him in Spain seem to be the best in there group so should only get better.
I’m thinking of playing my wc and if i do i might buy him!
I didn’t get to see the match the other day but I don’t think he was much of a threat.
Fair point, and that was against Northern Ireland.
Exactly like I had him captained thinking he’ll get 2 if not 3 goals but it seems like him, Ronny and Ibra were all kept quiet by lesser teams.
