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…

HERE WE GO!!! Goodluck to everyone despite who’re you’re rooting for!!
We’ll have we been here before England dominating play & I won’t say it. Thk Wilshere & Bretrand have been are worse players & Clyne exceptional , Come on the England
I think all the Liverpool players have been bossing this game. All going down the right wing and Clyne is the most likely to score in the entire team I think.
Just think what might have been if we’d played Milner and had a fit Flanagan and Ings to select – we’d prob win the whole thing 😉
:big-lol:
Exactly :big-lol:
Sums it up
Heh heh
Well I made a great choice there took the armband of Rami stuck it on Stur , that didn’t work did it 😉
Woops
I missed the deadline and then took out Giroud for Shennikov, who did’t start!
You’re having quite a few days Mr NIN! 😉
Having a mare mate! Still doing okay though but i’ll probably end up a few men down by the time this round is done. That’s the monthly blow out done with now at least 😉
Slo where absolutely crap all they did is def not much different than how Wales played against us I thk we still have a chance against anyone we face 😉
Difficult when the opposition just sit with 11 behind the ball. We played well given that situation. No incentive for them to do anything else as soon as Russia went down.
I think when you face that though Init you need to be a bit more creative especially from free kicks and corners. Didnt see much of that.
I’ve said for many a tournament, England just need that one big result in a big game to give them that belief. You’ve a very good squad.
It will be interesting to see who they get. I assume they will have to play a group winner… or would that be for the third placers?
We get the runners up from F I think, more than likely Hungary as I’d fancy Portugal and Austria to win the last group games but anything can happen.
That’s a good group to be paired with. None of those are particularly strong but Austria could be hard to break down.
lol
Thought you’d like that one alright 😉
yeah I get you comment, given the results, but, there’s always a but, I’m curious, did you watched these two games?
Not the last one but i watched the Iceland game.
From what I’ve seen Portugal have had the same problem with those teams as we had tonight in terms of lack of ambition from the opposition and therefore little space to work in. It’ll be the same story in the next round then. Tons of possession but it’s just if you can catch a break here or there and grab a goal. Get one and you’re sorted as they then need to come out. Don’t, as we haven’t, and they won’t.
That’s true Init, hungary will not be hungry so We may find ourselves In the same situation. I see where you’re coming from NIN the Iceland game was a poor one from us, especially after conceeding, which was the whole second half. Against austria though it was very different. More posession in dangerous are, several important saves from the keeper and of course the missed penalty. Austria were lucky here so I’m not too concerned. We’ll see but as it stands We’ll probably top the group with a win and play belgium on the Last 16.

I had issues similar and my confirmation email was in spam. I have logged in now and have had no problems. Already made ten teams!
Cheers GP , yeah I had checked that before the email and nothing. I’ll wait then but I only need one team to win this and you know my picks.
Can’t find confirmation mail :/
Snookie are you on G-mail? They’re having an issue with those who are. Will be sorted soon.
Yes using Gmail! Hope they fix it before deadline
Got 12 points from Chester, switch or stick?
Give us a clue Snookie.
Who else do you have playing today and tomorrow?
Ozil, Muller, Cr7, Alaba, Fabby (doubt he will play)
Well Snookie,
I took my armband from Evra with his 12 and went Sturridge. I’m now going for Mueller or Kroos.
If I were you I would maybe stick. 12 isn’t bad.
Yeah…. Ronaldo is tempting as he usually steps up when he is at worst and is needed the most! Though he has poor record at Intl events. Will have to think lonnnggg
Sokie,
Go Mueller first and then Ronaldo if need be.
Pending on Germany line-up Muller then Cristiano If needed is what I’d do here.
