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…

Who should I captain? Morata, Perisic or Alba? Also should I sub Strinic in for Ozil or Dzemaili can’t really do much worse than 2 points?
I’d give Perisic a spin. Do you have Ronnie as back up? And yes to the sub for certain. Didn’t Ozil get 3? Do the other bloke out then as he got 2 didn’t he?
I agree here Matt.
Perisic as new captain and Dzemaili out for Strinic.
No no back up after tomorrow. I only have Rui Patricio on my bench along with Guerriero. Ozil only has 2 on my team unless it’s still updating? Right Cheers lads I’ll stick it on Perisic and hope he doesn’t hit the post this time haha
Think Ozil got booked
Ah right that’s probably it so.
He did, sorry I missed that. Not like him. It’s 2 then.
Matt, I assume you don’t have payet or anyone with relevant points as capo right now. If that’s the case, I’d change Perisic over morata and alaba. Morata may come good, but he got subbed out and while perisic also did, it was for a slight knock. Also the Czechs will probably attack or at least I can’t see them sitting as deep as they did against spain, while turkey will probably just play for a draw, meaning perisic could become a gold mine. The more I see of him, the more I see him in the premier league next year.
Hey DMC. I have Payet but sadly I went for Giroud as capo instead. I’m captaining Perisic tomorrow I think be should be alright I fancied him before the tournament let’s hope he finally repays that faith.
Best of luck mate.
lads, would you bring perisic in for giroud seeing as hes already played an extra game or bring him in for quaresma?
You bring him in for Giroud, end of story. Queresma’s game isn’t until Saturday.
tempted by silva too, could do giroud and quaresma > perisic and silva, worth it?
i have 1 more emergency transfer and its either quaresma out for a mid or rodriguez out for a defender with an eye on the upcoming france match..
adam, why are you discussing gw3 when 12 teams are yet to play in gw2?
well because if i got rid of rodriguez for a guy that plays twice from now till end of the group stage that could be beneficial right considering he has france? im on the sun game so you can make transfers whenever you like as long as you do no more than 3 a week. Would you get rid of quaresma then and deal with rodriguez with one of my 3 emergency transfers next week?
I have no idea how that game runs mate, sorry.
Sorry adam, you should have said it was a different game and format. I think I still stand by the Giroud thing though as he only has 1 game left and may well be dropped for it anyway whereas Queresma still has 2 assuming he gets selected which I think he may do but DMC will tell you better on that one.
Yeah, it’s anybody’s guess at the moment really.
The word is Quaresma would’ve played instead of Nani if it wasn’t for a late minor injury to Quaresma. However, having payed, and scored, and indeed been one of our best players, it’s unlikely that he drops Nani.
There’s a possibility for a front trio of Ronaldo, Nani and Quaresma but that would mean a change in the system which probably will not happen in this second game. Fernando always starts in 4-4-2 and it’s only during the games that he changes (rarely) to 4-3-3. So, in other words, don’t bet on Quaresma to play from the off. Do expect him to come in if we need goals.
Good Day …
Anyone play 7s ???
I do Robin.
Today’s effort:
I’m in – forget to play some days, but have done it today….

Link above – if anyone fancies a challenge for a bit of fun.
Done
Tks GP …
Lads,
Good and Bad yesterday. England won !! Woo Hoo and managed to win a cheeky bet on England winning 2-1 and bad for my team this week as the points haven’t been satisifying. I had Giroud captain the first day, changed it to Muller yesterday (disappointing).. Any suggestions on who I need to captain today ?
I’ve gone with Perisic if that helps
Cheers Matt..
Out of those I’d fancy my chances with Mandzukic, especially if you have any relevant hidden guns on the bench for the last day. If not, well, Mandzu anyway and then all in on Alaba if he fails.
Morning!!
Who should I go with as cappo?
Fabregas
The way Italy defended the other night I see Buffon getting you a certain 12 as captain Mitro!
I’ve gone Juanfran !
Payet.
