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.

Cookie, here’s my effort for tomorrow. Please be gentle; I’m tired of being hammered by you this tournament!
:big-lol:
DMC, here you go then, i’ve given you a free run on the Portugeezers!
Challenge code below also for anyone else who fancies it.
3rd and final draft from me. Very happy with it! Good luck all.
Just seen I didn’t have a Polish def. So brought back Piszesk for Schar. Final change 😉
Good luck Gunners, looks good.
Hi guys, could you check out my team and advise please
Waltine, the only issue I see is that your keepers both play today – keep one and change the other to one who plays either tomorrow or Monday.
Thanks cookie. I have gone for McGovern and Hart.
Morning all,
Am i good to go?
Morning Mitro, who is Variqic?
Top quality bench fodder 😉
I’ll be honest, I don’t see the need for bench fodder with an extra 5mln to play with, but your call mate.
Got 5 to spend – who should I bring in?
A keeper who plays on a different day to Hennessey. If you need more funds get the cheap Belgian defender for Vermaelen.
Hart?
Perfect 😉
How does this look?
Snookie, I think I’d rather have Polish coverage over Swiss
Hello gentlemen (and ladies, if any). Can someone tell me how does my team look?
Nice team there
