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.

Rui has been given points for the shootout save
Surely that’s not right
Shhhh. Take it 😉
That was fairly poor! Oh well at least I can now defo field a team in the next round, albeit with 5 Portuguesers to bore the pants off Wales hopefully to a 1-1 draw…
Yes Portugal through to the semis!
Nice one Chris! And DMC if you’re out there. Guess he’s still running around the streets celebrating!
Didn’t know you were a fan actually Chris. Thought you were from a far flung Caribbean island for some reason. Maybe not!
I’ll celebrate If and when we win this.
Meanwhile :popcorn:
Well I am from Trinidad but I am half portuguese! I captained CR7, he really should have scored atleast 1 but they were the better team and if Belgium advances it would be a big challenge.
Portugal are in the semis
Big WoW
Boggles belief how…!
They’ve not won a game in 5 games within 90 mins
And played badly.
(Bitter England fan)
True but was better today. The teams they played haven’t been that good though
Morning you herberts – today’s 7s challenge……
Morning Cookie,
I haven’t tried this yet, might give it a try later.
Get involved Koplarrrr, bit of harmless fun!
