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.

Mornoning all off to Haydock Races today, evening meet but I’ll be there at 3 looking fwd to it. Jess Glynne on after, should be a really good meet.
Well done to Portugal had Ron as cap & Sanches plus Polish def so 1 gone
Haven’t gone with any Welsh even though I want them to win ,will go with KDB cap. 😉
Evening meet starting at 3!! Lovely!
What do you expect from a man whose weekend starts on a Wednesday!
Off to races again Silvers, good man!
Hit the Lights looks good a shout for the opener 😉 tho Toni’s a Star has also been tipped by 365 & Racing Post
I’m off to Lingfield again next Wednesday, i’ll be hoping for better luck than my last visit.
Hope you have a profitable day mate
Hey photek how are we mate yes both of those on my radar although HTL will be fav I also like Indy for a sneaky bet would get good odds. Never been to Lingfield hope you have some luck , got Cheter races in July looking fwd to that normally a good one. 😉
Silvers
Have a great day and good luck.
Had a sneaky throw on Joey Barton’s newest horse last night but it was a maiden race and was eleventh I think. I’ll keep an eye on it.
I’m going to Ayr on Sunday for the family day. Haven’t been to the track for a while so looking forward to it.
Did it throw its rider off, stamp on him and then put its fag out in his eye, by any chance?
Funnily enough . . . .
Cheers GP on my way in a minuet but will keep an eye on the game tonight Not been up to Scotland for a while , bit poor really since my brother married a Soctish lass from Bridge of Allan hope you have a good day at Ayr.
Have a good day Silvers, hopefully you’ll be a good bit richer today instead of poorer haha
Matt, I’ll put a fiver on with you that he’s poorer 😉
Enjoy it Silvers. Never been to the races myself and that’s unlikely to change!
We’ve found the only Irishman in the world who doesn’t like horse racing
Not entirely true, that
Oh it just bores me to tears!
You’ll be saying you don’t drink Guinness next…
:shifyeyes:
:shiftyeyes:
Damn it.
Hahaha very true Kop
Can’t stomach the stuff! I’m 36 and have drank 2 pints of the stuff in my life.
I’m with you there Kop, I’m only 19 but I’ve only drank a pint of it so far might give it more of a chance soon
Afternoon team,
Kop, may we see your passport please? :winktongue:
GP, I have on numerous occasions been accused of being a west Brit
Leprechauns?
What about them?
Not sure, I just ran out of stereotypes for the checklist
silvers, be wary of Portuguese riders or in deed horses. If there’s any of those, the race could end with a tie!
Afternoon fellas, who do I cap today? Hazard, Ramsey, Bale or do I leave it on Nani?
Matt – tough one I’d say. Any capo with decent points now is a good capo. I think one from Haz, KdB, Bale and Payet will produce at least the same as Nani but will anyone score more than 1 goal/assist? If this was a goal from a forward would you think about switching? For instance, had you capoed Lewan, would you switch? Probably not. But in fairness it’s 1 point difference so I’d stick if I’m honest. Good pick that nani one btw! Cheers.
Cheers DMC, I was thinking that aswell I’ll probably stick especially since I’m unsure what the result will be today I’m leaning towards a Belgian win but Wales can be unpredictable at times.
Looks like I have found my GK in FPL for next season!
Mandanda! What a signing from Palace!
So that transfer is true!! Could be a decent punt if he’s not priced too highly
I like to have a keeper for the whole season who will play every match bar injuries and suspensions.
Looks like Mandanda will be the man for me this season. Read he’s won GK of the year in France a record 4 times or something similar
I’d expect him to be a minimum of 5.0m
I’ve always liked Mandanda so I’ll definitely be considering him and he’ll probably be one of my GKs if he’s not priced crazily.
gunners
I’m very interested to see how he does. My judgement may be being clouded by Marseille in general largely underachieving during his time there but I always thought the was overrated. Certainly not as good as Lloris anyway but as you say, price dependant he should be a good number one for you.
Some decent transfer moves now being made.
The trouble is he still has the hapless Palace defense in front of him so i doubt he’ll keep a ton of CS
Just thought i’d say hey guys. New here so thought i’d say hello.

(we really need an edit comment button in here)
Hi AnttL
Welcome along to the site. Great for you to say hello.
Are you an experienced fantasy player?
Played for around 4 seasons now. Hoping my 5th will be my best ha.
Good stuff AnttL
Hope you can teach us a thing or two !
Welcome to the site
Thanks guys. Is my pic showing yet?.
Welcome to the site AnttL good to have you here.
Haz or Bale for cappo dudes? Ideally I would stick it on Haz but given that he may not play the 90 Bale may be a better option. That said if Haz didn’t work out i have two more days with plenty of options?
Haz for me Rosco.
I’ve got Bale and KDB, my armband is on KDB
Me too!!
Yeah think I’ll stick with Haz, I wanted KDB but I wanted to spread my players around, Got Kuba instead ….that didn’t work out so well!! annoying as i still have 2.8m sitting in the bank! Never mind had Lewa and Renato last night so a decent few points already on the board!
Anyone know when the FPL opens?.
Nope. Hopefully not for a couple of weeks yet.
Early August would suit me fine NIN
Yeah preferably the 12th 😉
