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…

Hope.. Dashed!
Yilmaz scores for Turkey and I think Morata pinches one with some clear baby lining, a Turkey win puts Northern Ireland through you’d think, possibly against Wales.
Damn you Morata. I have Fabregas. Although I’m not sure that would have crossed the line without his touch. To make it worse, I went for Sturridge over Morata when transferring out Kane… God I hate FF sometimes.
I should have captained Morata over Muller!! Ah atleast there was an assist for Muller I suppose
2 point difference, wouldn’t lose any sleep over it!
I realised that after!! Bloody Ramos just missed a penalty!! Need Spain to win for a bet
Why do they let a CB take the penalties? I’m pretty sure with the calibre of attacking players they have one of them could take the damn thing !!
Yeah it’s a bit of a joke. Should be Alba 😉
Haha
Well there goes my bet but atleast Perisic scored the goal!!
Someone talk me out of going back to Ronaldo again tomorrow and keeping Muller’s 10 please!
Don’t do it!! He’ll end up adding a red card to hid collection of bad performances.
I’m doing it…
Viva Ronaldo!!
You and me mate. Now if that doesn’t put you off
Done! Got to go for it right? Right?!
Yeah of course – no brainer
Looks like you’re doing it. I only have Guerriero left to play so it’s Muller left as captain for me. Should have gone Perisic haha
You know you want to, besides nobody likes muller. Shame on you for having him let alone capo the man! Ronaldo will produce fantasy points tomorrow. Several.
That’s enough for me! His biggest critic thinks he’ll come good 😉
Hang on. By ‘several’ you mean 2 don’t you…. :hippo:
Don’t do it, only because I’m doing it and I don’t want you stealing my thunder, he has to score tomorrow though doesn’t he, he’s had more shots than Northern Ireland and they’ve scored two
As of Saturday just gone he’d had more shots in the tournament than 9 other countries. 99% sure I’ll be going there again. Made 3 mistakes so far and he was one on Saturday but I’d do it again given the scenario so no big issue. The other 2 were Draxler rather than Perisic and Stancu rather than Morata. They were poor decisions and I regret those now and they were 50/50 ones so might well have gone the other way. Ronaldo’s more of a ‘sure thing’, as they come.
And he’s up against the 40 year old overweight Hungarian keeper in jogging bottoms. What could go wrong?!
