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.

Goal Payet
Goal Griez
Wow 29 points from 3 players in the 1st half and I have taken 3 games to get to 22.
How do England get beat by Iceland or are we glad they beat us as we could be 5-0 down if we had played France? France v Germany -bring it on,what a game that will be!!!
That should be a cracker. Wales in the final won’t be easy for either. #HiDMC
Wales not making it pass Portugal
Be a tough one to call that Chris. Wales spirit is strong. Hope they make it as it would be amazing for them. I work in Wales a lot so I’m siding for them for my colleagues sakes really. Still be happy for you and DMC if they didn’t.
Eheh If they do make it I’ll be Happy for them. It’s an incredible achievement. If they dont, well their good at rugby are they not?
Giroudddd & there goes are clean sht
Got 4 French,3 Germans 2 Welsh and the rest to come in. I just can’t get excited about the Portuguese as I think the Welsh will do a number on them.Maybe a token Nani or Ladyboy just in case but the rest are gonna be a struggle.Maybe Williams and Boateng then auto fill!!
You have respect with this Ladyboy talk
First Sweden out, now Iceland. No more hot Nordic chicks for you lads.
(Not for me either since I’m back in the States :say-what
