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…

Morning all. So, what are we doing with Payet capo.. stick or twist?
Morning NIN, don’t own him so do what you want
:say-what: ……. Why?
Took him out at the last minute before matchday 1, I would of needed to take out Rami for a hit to get him in last night and I figured if they kept a cs Payet would need to score +10 to make it pay – as it happens Rami got an assist as well so I got away with it, but could of done without his last minute goal as he is so highly owned.
I’d probably stick if I had captained him though mate.
I’m sticking mate. Makes it a boring gw but 16 pts are difficult to match.
Cheers. Hmm, I’m not so sure. Will think it over whilst walking my pooch
Nin I’m sticking mate, happy to bank 16 and move on to the next round
Stick 😉
Full house NiN.
I have him and I’m sticking pal.
Morning ! Muller or Lewandowski for cappo ?
Brookyboy I have the same dilemma but I’ve gone with Muller thk Germany will just win this or 1-1 draw
Muller
Morning!!
Kane or Muller as cappo?
Should I also take our giroud for Juanfran?
Muller and yes get Juanfran in intead of Giroud
Dont take him out yet.. Wait till all games are done today.. there might be players scoring 1 or 0, u never know.. Change the captain definitely though
Mitro I see goals in the Eng v Wales game but thk Ger v Pol will be tight so Kane for me Wait on Juan , Howedes might end up on 1 point.
COME ON ENGLAND :bouncy-balls:
