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.

BELGIUM TEAM NEWS
Team to play Hungary: Courtois, Meunier, Alderweireld, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Witsel, Nainggolan, De Bruyne, Mertens, Hazard, Lukaku
As you were..
Silvers
Need KDB to come to the table my cap for the day.
NIN
Evening Silvers. Well, i picked Hazard so you’re likely to get a whopper haul from De Bruyne 😉
Silvers
Evening NIN glad I didn’t pick one of the French boys Germany look good thk France are beatable if we can get though. Good luck with Haz two goals apiece would be good 😉
NIN
Haha, it’ll take something like that plus a cleanie for manure or whatever his face is haha. That French defence is certainly iffy without Varane shoring it up. A well picked England attack could give them a hard time for sure.
NIN
They wont though. Battered like a fresh cod.
NIN
By Iceland
Silvers
:big-lol:
NIN
HUNGARY TEAM NEWS

Err, as you were?
inittowinit
Belgium vs Whatever
NIN
I’m pretty Hungary, wouldn’t mind a Belgian waffle or two.
NIN
Even by my standards, that was lame. Ahem. Carry on.
Cookie
………. 😉
NIN
Shall i sit in the twat corner then yes?
Cookie
Only if you can find room
NIN
Yeah, chins has put on a few recently 😉
NIN
De Bruyne is such a beast. He’s gonna splatter the Premier League next season with Pep at the helm.

Martin Keown: “He had acres and acres of time there”
Where do they get these idiot commentators??
NIN
Arsenal.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Figures.
NIN
Dixon, Seaman, Parlour… they’re all shockers
NIN
Henry :shake:
Cookie
Wright and of course the worst of all, Merson.
NIN
Wow how did i not think of those first?!? Bloody Wright, he’s the pits. Merse too.
NIN
Here’s a thought; how many players who played under Ferguson have gone on to become pro managers vs how many Arsenalholes who’ve gone on the be twat pundits… interesting.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
I was between Gomez and Hazard for captain today.
I went Payet.
Cookie
I went Lukaku!!
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Cookie,
Don’t the captain picks get you right down at times?
Still, I’m delighted with my points so far today.
Cookie
Not really in this GP, this is just some summer fun for me, so don’t care really.
Hazard and double Belgium at the back have saved me today, if they hold on of course – Hungary look like they can nick one if they are bothered to try.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
That’s true. It’s just when you go back and forth between ‘A’ and ‘B’ for half an hour then choose ‘C’ :big-lol:
Not had the worst of days in Daily 7s as well.
Cookie
Nice shooting there GP, you’ve just done me!
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Bout time if I have. Think you beat me three days in a row!
Cookie
Every dog has their day 😉
NIN
I went Hazard but it matters not, team is way off anywhere decent.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Shout though NiN!
I looked at him 😉
ChrisOllie25
Why didn’t Hummels get an assist?
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
HI Chris
Assume you mean for Draxler’s goal? For that one Hummels challenged for the ball but it came off the Slovakian defender so no assist.
ChrisOllie25
Forza give him the assist
