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.

Ah didnt knew you were a fan Raz
Big Portuguese name and song that one.
Cheers cookie! Wales did an incredible job to achieve the semis. Credit to them. They were never an opponent to us this instance though so there you go Portugal In the final! Our second time ever In major competitions and the first away from home. If We play France it will be tuff cause they play at home and they always beat us with odd penalties (2000, 2006) so We wouldn’t just be playing against avoid team. Germany, however, despite looking stronger, offers a real shot at it. It should be a great and competitive game though whoever We play against. And whoever it is, will loose!!!
DMC, while I remember, my Daily 7s!!
Code there for anyone else who fancies it.
Accepted
Here’s mine cookie!
All down to Draxler vs Payet then, DMC!!
Unexpected high points from tonight! 24 from three players! 9 Guerrio 7 Patrico 8 Ronaldo.
Two easy subs for me Kos and Hector in for Williams and Taylor. Neuer can stay on the bench
Yes Portugal in the final, I knew it. Well played to Cristiano and Nani, they deserved it.
Nice one Chris. Great news for you and DMC, happy for you both.
You wont In the final!! :))
Morning and congratulations to our Portuguese lads on here.
And begrudgingly (through pure jealousy only), very well done Wales.
Seriously, they have done absolutely fantastic.
Cheers GP! We now need to win it!
Morning all,
My French mole is now telling me that it is rumoured that Umtiti may get the nod over Ramiu for France tonight.
Allez Les Blues
Cheers Cook, To be fair to him Umtimi did do better than Rami has done so probably deserves another shot.
Morning fellas, two quick questions for tonight:
First am I right in sticking with Rui Patricio on 7 instead of Lloris?
Second who do I captain today: Koscielny, Hector, Payet, Kroos, Draxler, Ozil, Greizmann?
Matt, unless you think Lloris is about to start saving penalties then of course you stick!
As for capo, personally I think there will be goals tonight, which means Payet, Draxler, Ozil or Griezmann for me, from your list.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking sticking is the best option!!
I think there will be goals as well just don’t know where from but right now my gut says Payet or Greizmann.
Would it be wise to bring in Draxler for Sanches as they might not keep a clean sheet. Thanks!
I would Waltine
Stick with Patricio and captain Griezmann
Cheers Chris that’s exactly what I’m doing
I chose Hennessey over Patricio smh. But I am keeping Ronaldo as captain
Unlucky who’s your other GK? Yeah I wouldn’t be switching from Ronaldo either if I had him.
The Dentist, iceland goal keeper
