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…

It’s looking like Giroud might get rested, I have him and Kane who I fear may also get rested.. So do I switch one and if so which one is more likely to get game time of some form? Or is it worth a hit and switch both? Really don’t want to use my WC yet but does anyone see value in doing this?
Hits seem so much in context! If say o swing out both then I would need the replacement to score 6 points to make a 2 pointer and I might be better just using subs as I had to do last round when all 3 of my forwards scored a 2.. Thoughts?
specific concerns about the condition of Kane, who has failed to replicate his impressive club form at the tournament, Hodgson replied: “No I don’t. I have spoken to Harry. He’s been very good in training the last couple of days.
“I don’t think he’s suffering more than any other player. No problem with him in that respect.
“As for Jamie and Daniel – I’m sure they’d like another chance too. It’s a decision that has to be made.”
I just think that with Hodgson he doesn’t let go his favourites easily and maybe there is a chance of some game time for Kane! Also Rooney might play forward he indicated so it’s a risk really
Hmmm interesting! Maybe I should hold Kane then and make a call on Giroud in 30 mins when the sheets get released. It would be just my luck to ditch Kane and he starts and grabs a brace!
Anyone else with Kane holding him?
Hey mitro I think one of the England boys or lukaku, given the players you have I think that would give a good spread of captain options!
Hey guys
Quick question.
I’ve just activated my wild card and made a heap of changes, will I have unlimited transfers throughout this game round 3 ?
Also in response to the Kane problem….I’ve dropped him for Studge.
You’ll have unlimited changes for the next hour only I’m afraid!
No Payet and no Giroud!! Aghhhhhhh what to do!!
France
No Payet or Giroud.
That’s a pretty big gamble with first place on the line, it’s not like they were great last game so let’s see if it pays off, I’d of at least started Payet like.
I agree Andy. Which is why I’m holding only Evra.
Agree with both and that’s why I did. Coman capo punt!
What are your plans GP as I know you have both? ( your 1 point ahead of me in ‘Tim euros’!
Rosco
I’ve just gotten rid of three so I’m on -8.
Payet, Giroud and Candreva out.
Hmmm I’m debating leaving Payet in as he may still get game time.. Decisions decisions!!
With Payet being rested are people getting him out? Whats going to happen with price changes? Getting him out but would like him in after the WC.
Don’t worry about getting him back in on the wildcard Rambo. That will happen. I’d chase the points just now and sell him. In fact I have 😉
I’m on it too. Good luck with your choices!
