Euro 2016 Fantasy Football Live Match Chat – The Knockout Phase
Just as the UK votes on a possible Brexit, the group stages at Euro 2016 have been completed with some unfortunates already on their way home, while all the Home Nations secured to Remain for a while longer as England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all qualified for the round of 16. You will notice a few changes to the fantasy game, so please allow us to run you through them so you are fully up-to-speed.
Price changes – some players price has increased, but only by a minimal amount it would appear. For example Dimitri Payet’s price has risen from 8.0mln to 8.1mln!! So, nothing to get too worried about.
As a result, your budget has increased by 5mln to 105mln, which not only reflects the price changes but also the fact that most of the smaller teams and cheaper players are no longer available due to them being knocked out, hence there are less budget options available.
Transfers – for this round you have an unlimited amount of transfers. For the quarter-finals you will have 4 free transfers, for the semi-finals you will have 6 free transfers and for the final you will have 6 free transfers.
Team personnel – you can now select four players from a single team for the round of 16, followed by five players for the quarter-finals, six for the semi-finals and eight for the final.

Morning all. I see the prices have been updated and your budget increased by 5mln. The above updated Live Match Chat details the other changes as we enter the knockout phase.
Init. You know you said sommer won’t auto sub on as I made manual subs? Well I checked it this morning and Sommers 7 points are in my team!
They shouldn’t be! I’ll raise a complaint on your behalf now 😉
This applies even if manual subs have been made
If your goalkeeper plays no part in the matchday, then your replacement goalkeeper will be substituted in, if he played in the matchday.
Morning all this has been a good tournament so far surprized Austria went out & Portugal weren’t far behind. I have already started tinkering with my team I will post it up later for RMT 😉
Ok which 3 fwds are we having thinking Bale / Giroudddd / Muller but if I want one on each match day maybe Bale / Muller / Kane or Morata thoughts please. 😉
Silvers, you not giving Nani any thought then?
No photek Croatia are a totally different ball game to whom Portugal have played so far , you have to look at the weaker teams Which I believe are NI , RoI , Hun , Slo & Ice so any fwd that plays against these teams has a good chance of scoring.
Portugal look good going fwd & Croatia aren’t exactly solid at the back so there will be goals in that game , so having Ron or Nani could work.
Silvers, from what i’ve seen of Portugal and Croatia so far i’d fancy Croatia to beat them and progress, Portugal haven’t played well and look like a team that doesn’t gel.
Ronny last night was like a stroppy teenager, sulking at every missed placed pass.
On the other hand Croatia have looked like a strong team, playing well and fighting for each other, my money’s on them.
I’ve got Bale Ronaldo and Giroud
Hey Gunners good picks the Croatia v Portugal should be a good game & I suppose Ron can score anytime.
Morning all.
Thanks for this new thread. Contains all the salient stuff I couldn’t be bothered to log in to check 😉
Morning GP , get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning 😉
Not at all Silvers. Actually off work now for 5 straight days so couldn’t be happier.
Hazard as captain pulled me out a bit of a hole last night.
I’ll look at the next round later. Plenty of time.
Oh the joys of 5 str days off , you up to anything. I was also lucky Alaba pulled me out of a hole.
I slapped the armband on Ronny at the very last minute, didn’t work out too bad 😉
Silvers
Just a few days out and about with the kids and then watching all the football over the weekend.
