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.

elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Afternoon all, have Bale, Luk and Ladyboy up top. Thinking Wales v NI may well be a close game, so thinking of ousting Bale. Will have 10.9 mill, any suggestions of who to bring in for him ?
NIN
None that are as good an option, no. He’s a must have.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Hey up NiN, hows it ‘angin ? Cheers.
NIN
Not bad mate, would be better if i didn’t have to work this weekend but oh well. Can still watch the footie in work but would much rather be at home with a brewski!
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
I’m over in Macau, trying to knock Init off his perch. :big-lol:
NIN
Haha, so i heard. How’s that going for you? I ruined myself in the last round. dropped 70k :shiftyeyes:
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Plodding along ok, 11,040 overall with 171 pts.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
And thats without watching any footy. I’ve just gone off postings on here.
NIN
Nice, you’ve got a decent chance of making a run at it so, good luck!
inittowinit
Good luck with that Elle! Did you oust Bale? I’ve capped him.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Init, no, kept him. Cappoed Ladyboy, believe hes doing shite though.
inittowinit
Assist just now. Same as Bale. Roll on Lukaku.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Yeah, suppose so. Then Hart on Monday.
inittowinit
Lukaku is solid. Never lets us down……..
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Yeah ok. :big-lol:
FC Sanchez
So this is it! What do you guys reckon w/ this lot?
Fabianski / Neuer
Jedrzejczyk(POL) / Taylor / Rami / Hector / Howedes
Ramsey / Hazard / Payet / Perisic / Alli
Muller / Giroud / Bale (c)
Muller has always been frustrating for me but reckon he will come good (could have had a few in the last game!). Or go with Lukaku (also frustrating!).
Cheers!
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Sanch, i’ve had Muller since day one, ousted him for Luk now though. That probably means keep him knowing my luck. :big-lol:
FC Sanchez
I had him the first two games as well and then ditched him cuz he’s wasn’t doing shite!!! Used him in the Champions League fantasy but only scored after I took him out! Same old same old!
NIN
We’ve got 9 exact players so yeah i like this team Mr Sanchez. Good luck!
FC Sanchez
Nice, NIN! Good luck to you too mate! :beer:
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
If you would have had Ronaldo in there, he would have absolutely hated it, even if you still had 9 of the same players. 😉
FC Sanchez
Haha. Damn, now I don’t know. Should I get Ronaldo? Haha.
DMC
I’m thinking that ‘s where the -70k came from… :hippo:
NIN
Yeah yeah, he ain’t worth the money and you know it.
NIN
No, that would be from missing the deadline and subbing points out of my team! Was down to 60-something-k before Portugal even kicked off.
Silvers
Good luck to everyone 😉
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Best of luck and enjoy the football lads.
Six knockout games plus a Copa Final – not every weekend you’ll get this!
DMC
Kuba goal, Grosicki assist.
Brookyboy
Glad I kept hold of Blaszczy-thingy…….. !!
