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…

Ok lets predict the scores
Italy 1 v 0 Sweden
Czech Republic 1 v 2 Croatia
Spain 2 v 0 Turkey
Italy 1 Sweden 0
Czech 0 Croatia 2
Spain 0 Turkey 0
Italy 10-0 Sweden
Czech 18-134 Croatia
Spain 1,246,890-1 Turkey
That’s just ridiculous NiN:
Turkey won’t score.
Ok folks, who do I capo today?
Payet
Funny man NIN
Gia or Perisic! I’d go Giaccherini given he’s CS potential.
Cheers DMC. It’s between him & Juanfran I think
Perisic
Giaccherini for me Mr Kop. Double chance of CS and another goal.
Sorry for advising you Ronaldo the other night, I understand if you choose to ignore me
Oh no, I listened to you
but in fairness I switched from a 2 pointer so it hardly mattered.
So will you be on Ronaldo captain again tomorrow night if you fail today?
You’d better believe it
Hey guys
Can I play a Croatian defender who is doubtful,then if he doesn’t play or gets a 1 pointer,can I sub in Alba for the Spanish game that comes up next? Or is the game locked once the first game starts.
Just played with transfers and it seems you can swap a defender or mid for a forward. Glad I didn’t know that as the defender I would have swapped was Vertonghen who scored nothing. But I will swap him tomorrow for 1 of 4 2 pointers with my strikers performing poorly.
It locks at the start of the first game and you can’t do anything then until tomorrow
Hey Kruz, you have to set your team up for the day before the first game.
Cheers guys for the info.I thought that was the case but was checking.Thrown the Croat in as its only a 2 pointer coming off as nothing ventured nothing gained!! FPLbet and their budget defenders put me on to the guy with the unpronounceable name.Sime Vrsaljko who will be out if he doesn’t play.
Hi Kop
If my Croat doesn’t play he is gone so,how much is Giacherini and is he classed as a defender .
5.0
And then Italy qualified after two rounds with 0 goals conceeded. Qualitá e tradizione!
Perisiiiiic!!
Price of Perisic?
7.5 mate, he hit the bar last game as well.
Yeah, right?!? Defo bringin him in in the next round!
Yep, that will do nicely DMC
Perisic should have put the armband on him he’s looking good & so are Croatia I thk they will be hard to beat some good players 😉
Yeah and Brozovic laid the assist on for the second Silvers 😉
Yes GP I should have listen to you 😉
Why are the strikers just not doing it this tournament? Damned Mandzukic, do something!
Yeah I think the same.I may go 3-5-2 in the knockouts.You don’t get the value for the top priced strikers as they have all failed except Bale.Still,it makes it interesting .Modric looked knackered not injured so I think he will be out for the knockouts.
