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.

Gents,
Currently on griezmann as my cappo, should I change?
Nope
Ozil or Draxler for me, but just an opinion.
Might flip a coin on this one.
Would you substitute out Sanches for hector?
I would but that doesn’t make it right
Is the match on live tonight as I have looked on bbc and itv and nothing scheduled.
Kruz, BBC 7.30pm UK time mate
Cheers Cookie I was getting a bit worried there!!
ha – it was always going to be shown somewhere!
Teams for tonight
Play Umtiti or Sanches?
Snookie, I think France will concede so I’d stick with Sanchez.
Yeah same thoughts here…
Similar problem with gotze. Should I Out him IB for a 3rd pointer? Leaning to stick… He can easily either score from the bench or rotten In there or come for a late 1 pointer…
*should I put him in, I meant.
DMC I put him in as I expect he will appear later on but mine was for a 1 pointer. I’d probably just take what you have.
Agree with init, stick with the 3pter DMC….
Greizmann cappo has definitely worked anyway!!! Viva la France haha
Vive le France!
Deserved, they were the better team i thought. Just. Will you be at the final mate?
Nah. Could of gone tonight for €350 so Lord only knows what they’ll be going for on Sunday.
Wow, that’s some serious funds to be dropping for an hour and a half of footie. Feck that. Feet up with a sack of brewskis it is
Exactly!
