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…

Hamsik goal to go with his earlier assist. Nice start to the week for owners!
Guy in my ML has captained him.. Dammit!!
Young Inittowinit has him also
Yup, have him as well. Should have bloody (c)ed him! He looked sharp pre-tournament, scoring a fantastic goal in the last friendly game so was pretty sure he was gonna come good. Almost scored last game as well!
Not surprised you have him, we are very aware of how good he is from the CL game. Did you grab Draxler also?
Took a peak at your team last GW Init and noticed we have very similar squads though I went w/ the Dzemaili fella instead of Draxler with the ft. Thought Dz played real well last game.
Hoping Ricardo Rodriguez keeps getting forward as much as he did last game as well. Really counting on the Swiss to deliver again!
Been in a bloody meeting for two hrs great (That is a bad result for England it shows how poor there where).
I keep wondering how on earth did England pulled a draw against the Russian?? Magnificient….
They’ll be doing well to beat Wales and Slovakia by the look of it!
Afternoon NiN
So much pressure now on England. I didn’t think the Russians were particularly good in either game. Smash and grab against England but that’s England’s fault for not getting a second which they should have managed easily.
Looking forward to this one tomorrow!
Hey GP, yeah spot on. Russia have been woeful so i’d expect Wales to beat them. Big time pressure now yes, reckon they’ll do it, go through?
I’m looking at 6/1 Wales tomorrow as well worth a bet.
Honestly, yeah I think Wales could win tomorrow and sew the group up.
I’d expect England to have a lot of the ball but Wales have nothing to lose as I agree with you, Wales should at least get a point against Russia.
Wow, 6/1 is well worth a flutter! Gonna check PP odds now, cheers. Back in a jiffy
Indeed, 6/1. Have to rustle something up for that one alright 😉
:thumbup:
Betting on Wales to beat England? You guys mustn’t like money, we’ve nothing to fear going into these next two games from what I’ve seen so far.
Just think they are a bit overpriced Andy that’s all.
Andy you might be right but I don’t think Wales or Slovakia will fear England.
My 4.5 Romanian defender just hit the post 😮 😯
I have him too, arse! They look good for the clean sheet though
France – Pogba & Griezman on le bench
Sacre bleu . . . . .
He did say he wasn’t happy with the pair of them & they weren’t in the predicted line ups this morning so not a shock 😉
I’m shocked he dropped Pogba, maybe its a message to him to improve and sure he’ll be back vs the Swissies.
And that, ladies and gents, must be why Fergie let him go (lol).
Haha of course!!
Thought I’d share this
Away from the site’s Potty Comps i run a League for close Leeds fans
Here is my mate’s Huggys team
Amazing start to Matchday 2
Bastard
That’s some score Potty I thk I’m on two 😉
Is he playing it on an Atari? #sensiblesoccer
Just realised I’m on 40 actually so Huggy can go suck my balls
