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…

Teams
Bumfartlinger..
You’re welcome, I’m here all week
Sat in a beer garden after a heavy night but looking fwd to the game later need a Port CS & an England win on Mon
Does that become a hot tub later?
I will be in it I another hr 😉
How Ronny hasn’t scored yet is beyond me, Portugal look good but it just isn’t happening for them so far.
Happy with that result! Should have been a 5 for 12 point trade but hintrigger got a 4 for give away the pen instead of a 6. Think I’ve actually done ok this week despite all my forwards getting a 2!
I’m now torn do I stick with one sub and switch Kane and save my WC for the quarters? Seems to make sense.,, I’m thinking out loud here….
Reluctantly happy too Rosco. 3 cleanies appease the Ronnie failure! Just about to check the same ref the WC. I’ll let you know soon what I decide on. Do likewise if you can as it’ll be a quick decision I guess.
Had a good look and in all honesty I can’t say whether I will. I can see 3 or 4 changes I’d like to make but I’ll be waiting on the line-ups tomorrow now I think. That’ll dictate the decision. No Giroud and Payet will push me to do so I reckon. Otherwise it’ll just be tweaks. So hard to predict the other line-ups really. Some have qualified but haven’t cemented top spot so it’s difficult to call how they prioritise that over resting some players.
I think the only team that will rotate players is the Italians because they have 5 players on yellows so will want to make sure they have them for the layer rounds. Plus they have top spot pretty much secure.
Don’t have any of those anyway but I’m thinking the French may mix it up also. May bring Sturridge and Stancu in if I can figure out if Stancu is a fwd or a mid
Yeah I feel exactly the same after a little look, think I’ll sleep on it, see if there are any lineup indications and make a late call on it!!
I have s pretty strong defence which to date has saved me, my mid is in need of a major overhaul and my firsts line… Let’s not talk about that!
Luckily o think most people are in s similar situation, I think holding the WC till the quarters makes the most sense.. If our sides are not decimated by rotation!
Yeah I was thinking Sturridge in for Giroud myself to be honest. I think Stancu is the forward and Stanciu is the midfielder but the I screws everything
Wanted to sort it all now but of course we can’t because of the ‘Come Back Later’ guy! :rant: Guess it’ll have to be a last minute job on the side of the road somewhere tomorrow. And no Mito that’s not a euphemism when you see this!
Probably do the same now Rosco, small change depending on line-up and leave the WC until the quarters. Think most teams still have something to play for so shouldn’t be the usual mash up we see at this stage.
That Come back later guy is really getting on my nerves!!! I’ll have to rush the decision now haha
I think I’ll save my WC. I did pretty well in defence all my defender plus GK got 5 or more it was my midfield and strikers that let me down a bit.
My defence has propped me up so far too. Mids made a huge difference this week to be fair but yeah those forwards are stinking the place out. Unless you lucked out and had Lukaku and Morata this week. One is likely for some, both is unlikely I suppose. But some will have.
Yeah if i didnt have Perisc and Payet i would have only had 2 from Ozil and I had the latter so thankfully I had one striker who did some good. Muller and the whole German offense has been a big let down in my opinion.
Rolando :big-lol:
Any suggestion regarding the team would be very much appreciated. SHould i use me WC ??
I really like this team mate don’t think you need to WC. I’d look at at bringing in am Italian maybe for Matuidi or Brovozic?
