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.

Lads, seems like I didn’t do my job properly with planning as I have no outfield players for the last day and all my remaining outfield players tomorrow. I currently have Payet, Ozil, Rami, and Hector starting with Hamsik and Meunier on the bench. My lowest scoring players are Bale and Ronaldo (derp) with 5 each. Worth subbing on Hamsik and/or Meunier for any of these?
For the guys with 2 then yeah for sure.
I don’t have any players with 2 pts in the starting eleven. Ronaldo and Bale are my lowest scorers with 5 pts each.
Morning all!
Well done DMC & RobinHood who beat me yesterday – damn you Ronaldo!!
Today’s Daily 7s challenge is here – open to all
Cheers cookie! Them Portugeezers are gonna win this!
Here’s my effort for today’s game.
Haha we shall see DMC!!
Captain suggestion, please??
Manasi, i’ve always said Capo is a personal choice. Some i’m sure will hold on Bale or Ronaldo. I would suggest that Payet or Muller are the obvious choices from your team if you want to twist.
I was thinking of either Payet or Muller. But then I was thinking of holding on to Bale. This is so.. :-/. Thank you, but
Manasi, I think you have your answer from Kop, below. If you’re just treating this as a bit of summer fun then go for it and have some excitememt.
To put a slightly different slant on it but still come out with the same answer I am taking it seriously and I’m switching it. 3 is a fairly low ceiling.
Morning all!
Tempted to stick with bale as cappo – what do you reckon?
Same delamere for me Mitro should I stick or twist Bale to Girouddddddd ??????
Morning silvers – sod it I’m twisting 😉
Morning Mitro,
I’m in the same boat but I’m gonna twist. I haven’t particularly taken this seriously since the beginning and it’s just a bit of fun
Morning Kop! I’m going to twist! Just need to work out who the better option is!
Yes let’s all do the twist 😉
Ok who should I put the armband on Giroud , Payet , KDB or Muller thinking one of the French boys ?????
Silvers
I’ve just switched back to Payet purely from a silly notion of loyalty.
I’m going with Muller
I’ve gone KDB with Sturridge left to take over tomorrow, might as well buy that lottery ticket with the lower selected players now for me to try and get up the leagues a bit.
Raz which one are you?
