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.

How we all doing I can actual sit & watch the match tonight if France go out I’m left with 4 players not much good that is it.
I am already down to 6 players out. I have 3 players each from Belgium and Italy. Poor week so far 26 points with Griezman(C), Payet and Kolscielny to come
I am in the same boat with 5 left if France lose but if they win 6 to go which the free transfers will cover. De Bruyne most expensive at 10 with a total of 40.7 mill to spend.
Yes there have been a few surprises in this tournament , so it won’t surprise me if France lose lets get are fingers crossed that’s not the case so we can take some players though. 😉
I pick them to win it all. If they advance to the semi-finals I will have to change Hazard, Meunir, Naingollan, Pelle, Giaccherini and Buffon so far.
Mata to Everton seems like it’s actually happening. If we sign Witsel aswell then its looking like a great start.
Great start, don’t be daft. Your only getting the players because no other bugger wants them. FFS, Mata, come on, surely you can do better than him.
I think Mata could be a great signing for Everton.
Yeah I’m pretty happy with that.
Mata is a quality player.
Take it the grav thing didn’t work out then?
“You’re only getting the players because no other bugger wants them.”
How is Mario Balotelli, Elle?
Yea Mou doesnt like Mata so he will be gone from United for sure
I don’t see him having a future at Man Utd. Not sure if Everton is the right club for him
Thought I would put teams up
Giroudddddddd
Goal Pogba
At last a captain who has scored more than 4.Step forward Mr Griezmann you are my heroooooooooooooooooo.
Plenty of time for a goal or two yet as well.
There we go
