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.

Ok anyone about RMT spread the load a bit this time fancy France & Belgium going though lucky dip on the other games
Should I go Haz or KDB & Payet or Pogba
Any other suggestions
It would help if I att team
Looks decent Silvers
Rafael Guerreiro, is he fit?
To play against Poland, yes.
Thinking of transferring in him
That could prove a shrewd investment Chris. Cedric (4.5) should also retain his position.
I may choose Fonte also over Cedric, what you think?
Chris – the word is that Fonte has done enough to retain his place but also that he only started given Carvalho’s condition (that is, he’s old!) meaning that he may be back and he is the better player after all, so Fonte may be at risk here.
The good news is that for the first time we’ll be able to see Portugal’s line up! And if Fonte is in there it’s a personal choice between him and Cedric. Fonte offers goal potential, Cedric the assists.
I prefer Fonte, Carvalho has been poor but If it’s a risky selection, I will consider Cedric
My team for the next round: took my 3 eliminated players out plus Payet
Team looks good mate. You have players in every match so you should be covered.
Why Payet, he’s a must have
If any, how much of a hit are people thinking of taking? I’m thinking of taking one hit but not sure if it’s worth it.
