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…

Reckon MattX is spot on re rotation, Italy can afford to but I think that France and Spain will want to lock top spot so can only see minimal rotation. That said I don’t think France have that front spot locked so Giroud looks a risk, Payet I’m not so sure, maybe he’ll get rested but let’s hope not!
My front line ( Giroud, Kane and Lewa) seems the best place to address with my FT, I think Kane is most in need to replacing? Can’t recall the prices but I think Kane was 8.5, no idea who to replace him with/ who I can afford/ who had the best fixture in GW 3!!!
Morata / Lukaku / Stancu, depending on the ‘I’, maybe even Sturridge is where I’d be looking.
I was thinking Vardy too? Both him and studge looked like they deserved a starting spot!
Cheers Rosco, I can’t remember prices of the top off my head and thanks to the come back later idiot I can’t check them but I think Kane to Sturridge could be the best move. I think Portugal have the best fixtures but are abysmal right now after that I can’t remember who’s fixture would be best maybe the Belgians.
The come back later idiot is gone!! Sadly he’ll come back later
Up to 27th in the 247 league.. I’m happy with that!!
Transfers are live.. Lukaku 9m .. So he’s out!
That leaves me with Vardy, studge, morata.. Or someone else! Choices choices!!
Best fixtures I’m my mind would be Portugal and Romania so Stancu at 6.5 could be a good choice. Plus he’s on of the first to play so a capo choice there. I’m leaning towards Sturridge right now he’s just got more potential for assists and goals with the odd chance at a set piece.
I like both these choices ( neither of which were apparent to me before now) so thanks MattX! Stancu is on pens so that’s an added bonus, no idea who is on England’s but I’d guess Rooney?
No worries mate. I’ll have to choose between the two aswell. Rooney is usually in for penalties but if he isn’t playing the I think Danny takes them plus if Sturridge is on a roll then Rooney may let him take it but thats unlikely.
Which forward should I get to replace Kane? 8.5itb
Hey Snookie, I’m going with sturridge/stancu. Stancu most certainly if studge is not a sure starter.
Morning all ok what are we to do still a lot to play for apart from maybe Ita do I keep Giroud or change him thk I would go Luk but he his out of my reach unless I take a hit Stu but that would leave me with only defs in last round of games I’ll have another look. 😉
