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…

Dat Rosicky assist :worthy:
Now gone with a hammy.
Dat Vida handball :worthy: :big-lol:
Tekkers, congrats on the other night by the way, your countrymen did you proud against Portugal, you must have been very emotional.
Haha thanks, they’re more my distant neighbors than my countrymen, but obviously great to see Iceland doing well. Incredible for a country with a few hundred thousand inhabitants. I’m rooting more for Sweden than Iceland, but I’m happy if either perform
De Gea, Juanfran, Ramos, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Iniesta, Fabregas, Silva, Nolito, Morata
Volkan, Gökhan, Mehmet Topal, Balta, Caner; Oguzhan, Ozan Tufan; Selcuk, Çalhanoglu, Arda Turan; Burak Y?lmaz
Nolito’s looked the business so far, assist a goal and maybe should’ve had another one.
Leaving Costa out was literally the best call Del Bosque could have made. He should really be done with that team now, just doesn’t fit.
Half an hour to go. Any score you like here for Spain.
Iniesta is such an amazing player. Legend of our time.
Legend. He might be the best they ever had, although, Xavi might have something to say about that. It’s amazing, the influence those two have had. Club & Country, wrecking it.
This Spain match has been great for me. 2 goals from Morata, assist from Alba and hopefully a CS. Should have capped Morata instead of Perisic but atleast thry both scored.
Well, that’s certainly productive then eh?!? Nice one :thumbup:
Well done Matt!
Cheers lads. It’s definitely the best match for me anyway. I think my live points are 34 right now
Did okay today myself, Juanfran and Gia cs + Alba capo. Many left to go? Just Siggy here i think
Ah that’s some nice points NIN. I have Rui Patricio and Guerriero on the bench but I think I’ll bring Guerriero on for Strinic and not sure if I should switch Sommer (3 points) for Patricio?
Siggy, Portugal keeper and of course the man himself! Captain Ronaldo. That’s unless of course I just take Juanfran’s standard 12 again which I might yet do
Yes you should. You’re risking a 2 instead of a 3 with a high possibility of a 6. Live a little
Some decent players left there. A lot of people are favouring Hungary in the game tomorrow which surprises me a little.
Yeah I’ll be making both switches as soon as I can.
Yeah i’d probably switch Patricio for Sommer. Not sure how that one will go but three is low enough to punt against i think.
I got Guerreiro and Hintergerera or whatever he’s called to come in too. Not fussed in the latter but he’s replacing Giroud and any old lamppost can get 2.
Yeah a lot of my players only got 2 points but sadly Strinic only managed 1 point so he’s going to have to be switched out straight away.
Fck off Matt :hippo:
Ahem, sorry. What I meant was nice one Matt!
Think that’s the first double goalscorer actually isn’t it? From memory.
Jealous? :big-lol:
Yeah it is the first double scorer hopefully more to come now.
Of 34? Nah 😉
aye, I was hoping you’d picked Pelle as it was between those two.
That’s the spirit Andy! #schadenfreude
Haha yeah I came very close to picking Pelle thank god I didn’t!!
Another cappo fail! Cesc has just been substituted, do I stick with the 6 points or go with siggy tomorrow?
Payet.
Cheers NIN
:thumbup:
siggy of course.
NIN, remind us when it’s your birthday so we can get you a personalised cake: Payet’s ass! 😛
