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.

Feel bad for Cristiano, he really wanted to win this trophy. He really tried to play with this injury. Bad luck!
Great stuff lads well supported big thanks to Potty & the article writers cheers again , now where did I put my boxing gloves :smiling:
It’s all kicking off up there. I’ll stay down here with you Silvers
So which pub are you watching the final in?!
Hey Init sat @ home with a few beers bit nackard after my wknd in Chester so quite night but it seems to be livening up here so I will stick around 😉
You’ve got a home?!! I don’t believe it
I honestly thought you were a pub version of Jack Reacher 
Lol!!
Cristiano will cry again tonight. When he lifts the cup.
:thumbup:
I’d like to echo all the thanks! Its been great to have a familiar place to come and visit during the Euros for advice and general all round support! Looking forward to my second season in FPL and having you guys all in my corner from the off (I only discovered this gaff a few months into the season!). I’ve got a season in the Championship to look forward to (which I genuinely am now that Rafa is onboard) so FPL will be my way of keeping in touch with all that goes on in the Premier league! This season my aim is top 50k after getting 70k in season 1 i reckon i can do it!
Been good to have you around Rosco and looking forward to more of the same. Just out of interest, if you don’t mind me asking, how did you find us?
I’ll try and bring a bit more to the table this time round, i miss a lot of the mid game banter when im at st james (and i get extra games this season…every cloud!!) If memory serves me i think I was floundering badly and started googling Fantasy Premier league tips or similar and here you guys were…like a shining beacon of hope/a support group for other people overly obsessed with FPL!
Think one think not understanding player price changes was problematic but once i discovered here and the FIX things became a little easier!
That’s good to know mate, thank you. I figured it might have been Google. Personally I don’t tend to follow the price rises as I do transfers on a Friday night regardless but I know some chase it relentlessly to get a higher team value. I wouldn’t get too hung up on them though. It’s a good forum, good people, and you’ll always get an answer. Pretty much all you can ask really.
My 5-2-3 formation guarantees there will be a goal before the end of extra time, mark my words.
That’s actually a cracking shout. I never even thought of it for some reason.
Its a cracking shout until someone scores
Ditto on the bizarre formation…4 portugese + rui in net at the back for me (plus Sagna).
Did you go all out “Park the Bus” and cappo keeper?
No I capo’d Griezmann! What a nob I am!
WTF is this? I am supporting Portugal bitches. Portugal without Ronaldo is dope!! I love them! Lol at their (probably) 6th draw though. HAHA!
They never won the Euros or the Worldcup right? GO PORTUGAL!!

Greece and Denmark managed somehow…
Denmark was amazing though. Same could not be said about Greece, that shit was terrible from what I can recall. 😉
KEEP CALM! GO, GO, GO PORTUGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See? As soon as I support Portugal, they score. I am a good luck charm. Want to guess who I supported last season in the Premier League? :dance:
Chelsea? :hippo:
:dance:
