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.

What a goal by Shaqiri! Awesome
Beautiful it was!
That’s my bet out the window after the first game. Fuck you Shaqiri.
A high quality fuck you from him though.
He could hoof it up the pitch, sprint like the Flash, catch it on the volley and cross it in to himself and score with his bollocks for all i care!
Unless i had a bet on that, then i’d care
Extra time in Switzerland v Poland.
Worth remembering that extra time counts for fantasy points but penalties don’t.
Wales v Northern Ireland teams:
Come on GAWA!
Croatia v Portugal
Good to see both Strinic & Guerreiro both starting. Will be a good budget defender available in the next round!!
Nice one GP. No surprises there at all so. Good to see Luka in the starting 11 though, would have been a shame if he missed out.
NiN
This is the last point I can still get £0 for my Croatia bets so I too, am naturally delighted to see him in
Sweet, good luck with those!
I’m just gonna leave this here.
Morning DMC don’t tell me one of these pretty boys is you well done to Portugal.
Silvers, they are Quaresma and Ronaldo at the Sporting Clube de Portugal youth academy!
