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.

Giaccherini or Pelle for the armband?
Who to captain? Draxler or Giaccherini? Leaning towards Giaccherini for now.
Hey snooks, Drax for me now but I’m sure it will end up Payet vs Griez tomorrow.
Yea it will be a tight game today maybe 0-0 or 1-1 or 1-0, all will depend on Griez vs Payet
It’s between Pelle and Giaccherini for me today and Griezman/Payet also
Had Hazard captain so will be switching to Payet or Griezmann tomorrow so its Giaccherini, Hector or Draxler for tonight, thinking Hector for absolutely no reason whatsoever… Thoughts?
I’ve gone Pelle but thk Giaccherini would be a good choice
Draxler benched!
Moved my cap from haz to Drax this morning.. Then decided to wait so didn’t confirm!! Still gonna switch it to Gia instead.. Live life on the edge me!!
Went for Giaccherini for captain
