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.

Team quick RMT

Double Italy at the back ahead of double Belgium if you can manage it.
Pepe or Cedric??
I went for Eliseu.
Of those two, Cedric. Less likely of being booked for diving or being sent off for being a thug.
I don’t Eliseu. I was leaning towards Cedric aswell cheers GP.
I don’t like Eliseu haha
Final WC team. Gone for Grosicki over Kuba due to him looking brilliant in the last game and his actual club stats are far better.
Good luck everyone! Not you GP 😉
Thanks Init. X
We are playing in Potty’s quarter final, not sure if you saw it?
I didn’t.
Good luck mate!
Fuck me!!! My wife who knows nothing about football .. Says I never listen to her.. And has a polish grandfather.. Told me at 757 to take Ronaldo out ( as she said he is a weird man) and put in lewandowski.., so I bloody did!!
Shame you didn’t captain him….. 😉
I did ask her that too … She suggested a blas.. So obviously he’s going to get a few goals too…
She is not wrong about Ronnie as the stupid one takes a freekick shot from 35 metres straight into the wall.
I’d rather not. You have your wife for this Rosco. Crazy request. Gtfo. 😛
The amount of times i would ask her during FPL ‘this player or that player’ only to ignore her and regret it.. Thought fuck it why not! Good work Mrs L!
Poland is picking Portugal apart, so far.
Come on Portugal and Cristiano!!
