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.

England look likely to start Sterling, Kane and Sturridge tonight….
I can’t see how Sterling gets a start he has done nothing in this tournament except give the ball away a lot to whoever we’ve played

Just heard that Spain has lost all of their previous 5 euro or WC final tournament games when playing In a white shirt, including against croacia. Yep, you guessed it, they are playing In white this afternoon!!

DMC I think this will be a tight game but Spain should just about go though.
ChrisOllie25
I pick Italy to go through but it will be a tight game with not much goals scoring
