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.

Guys would you rather Morata or Pelle up front?
Morning Chaps…
Am not sure about perisic or Alaba scoring goals.. although both of them hit the post!!! Do i get rid of them or give them another chance ? Please feel free to throw in any suggestions.
Thanks
St1cky, bit harsh to drop them when they came so close to scoring – none of my mids did anything (all 2/3 pters) but four of them should of scored and came close to doing so – that tells me that the selection is ok, just a bit of bad luck.
Cheers Cookie.. I will give them another chance.. Deschamps might not start Pogba and Griezmann.. well atleast according to DM(which i know is a load of tosh) but his performance wasn’t convinving either.. what do you reckon?
St1cky, I would be amazed if both didn’t start, but will dig around my frog contacts to see if there is any truth in the Mail.
OK Sticky – the story is thus…..
yesterday Deschamps played three different formations (personnel) to give nothing away, but in his presser said that Pogba needs to do better and Griezmann may need a rest. So many are indeed speculating that both will not play tonight with Payet playing in the middle and as you said Coman and Martial playing left and right.
But it seems no-one is 100% sure what Deschamps will do – however, I would be more concerned about Griezmann than Pogba….we shall see!
I’m playing a different kind of euromanager, not the uefa one. Can only pick ONE captain as well.
+ We get points for WIN (3p) or DRAW (1p)
What changes to do? Have 2FTs
Patricio Kosacik;
Alba Rodriguez Hector Guerreiro Chester;
KDB Gotze Shaqiri Alaba Forsberg;
Giroud Miller Milik
Mardeal – Goetze to Payet
Morning guys!
What to do with this lot!? an Italian defender seems a sensible choice but it seems a little dull! Few big hitters let’s me down but seems a bit premature to chop players after one game!
If you want an Italian defender I’d only replace Glik which only leaves you with the option of Giaccherini who seems to be everyone’s choice.
