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…

Fair play to nolito. He has raised his game. The goal was a mistake from the turkey center back but he did well nontheless in that instance and during the game. FPL GW1 GK capo -» DDG!
Init, double or nothing: Austria to go home tomorrow with Portugal and Iceland both winning!
If you lose that does that mean TC De Gea in GW1? 😉
Why not? It’s either him or Will Grigg!
But Will Grigg’s on fire!!
BTW did this happen to anyone else lol? In the GW2 transfer window the app said Unlimited transfers and when I made my transfers it said nothing about points deductions either! Not really bothered though as this is just a fun game not serious like FPL is!
GW3 for me is the ideal place to use the WC as after that you don’t need it.
Number of free transfers
Group stage: one per matchday
Round of 16: unlimited
Quarter-finals: 4
Semi-finals: 6
Final: 6
Nope, but i’ll be looking out for it tomorrow night 😉
Did people figure out when the best time to WildCard was? Thinking either right before MD3 or just keeping for when I really need it… What do you guys think?
Sanchez – I think it really depends on which players you have going into gw3. If their good I dont see a reason to take them out just so I can use a wc. It makes sense when you have several players that may be rested, etc., but as for now that will only probably happen with france, italy and spain. Of course, 1st place makes a real difference here so I can’t see huge rotation anyway for those teams. For example, france will be playing for 1st place against switzerland, spain will do so against croacia. Maybe Italy is where will see rotation in big players, if Ireland doens’t beat belgium. If they do, they fight for 1st place too.
Ronaldo or Hazard captain tomorrow?…
I’d go for Ronny over Haz.
Has to be Ronnie looking at who Portugal are playing. I’d have triple (c)ed him if the option was there.
Good Days,
Will Ronaldo & Co get CS??
Any suggestions for 7s …
Tks ….
Suggestion is……to accept today’s challenge!
Accepted!
Accepted
Excellent stuff
Cookie Monster, u won by 2 pts
Good game, good game as Brucie would say
I’m in
In!
Morning all,
I thought I’d read that Alba assisted one of the Spanish goals last night. I see he hasn’t been credited with it on the site. Any reason?
Morning Kop, he assisted the second Morata goal. I have him at 9 points but it won’t tell me what he got them for so I’m not sure
Hey Matt, I’ve just realised I have Juanfran and not Alba
so that explains that!
I had a few drinks last night so there’s a small excuse for my stupidity 😉
Morning Kop/Matt,
You should be keeping your powder dry for this afternoon Mr Kop!
On the same theme, my app says Fabregas assisted the second goal but no points on site. Anyone see it?
Haha fair enough Kop atleast that mystery is solved ::
Hey GP I just had a look Alba assisted the 3rd goal but I have no one assisted tge 2nd so I’m unsure if Fab got it or not.
It’s gone now but it showed Fabregas assist next to Nolito’s goal.
Don’t worry GP I’ll manage a few today 😉
Cant be given GP it came off the defender. In FPL it would have been given maybe, but not I’m this system.
