Euro 2020/21 Fantasy Football
Welcome to the FF247 hub for the Euro’s. As per our Champions League article this shall be the main place for the duration of the comp and will act more as a destination to gather and discuss it all, rather than being anything of particular fantasy use.
What you need to know
How to play?
You have a couple of options here;

Alternatively you can simply update your UEFA Games App (the one you may have used for the CL) and it will show up as a dual purpose one with the Euros game on there.
The Rules
This game is exactly as per the CL one with in-game matchday-by-matchday substitutions and Capo changes available between each day.
We expect most of our league members will be au-fait with these rules but if you are unsure then simply ask in the comments below and somebody will always be on hand to explain further.
Or simply click here for the full explanation.
Hints, tips, squads, line-ups etc…
For once UEFA have actually made a pretty good job of this and so we won’t be bothering to post any of the above as articles as it is pretty much all there for you. They have the entire raft of squads posted on both their website and on their official App along with a run-down on every single team.
The FF247 League
We are not running a ‘public’ league for this one, we are keeping it in-house for the summer fun and as such we have our usual ‘Regulars League’. We did post the league code in the comments section previously but this has now disappeared. The good news is that the majority of our usual CL crew saw it and have already joined,
For anyone who didn’t then simply drop us an email on;
contact@fantasyfootball247.co.uk
All we ask if you enter the league is that you please keep the code to yourself and don’t divulge it to family or friends who do not frequent the site. This is for the FF247 Community who will be commenting and interacting on here and we would like to keep it that way. Ivan (The Terrible) will be keeping a watch and if you do then expect to be dealt with harshly!
Belgium v Portugal
Hmm, Bruno benched
Rightly so. Cr7 is there to take penalties. Then why bruno is required?
He did not seem to contribute much when he played.
He’ll be on around 60-70th minute. Three reasons for him being benched:
1) Santos is just preaching “why fix it if it’s not broken”.
2) I love Bruno but he does look knackered. It’s hard to carry a whole team (at club level) for the entire season.
3) Portugal play 4-3-3 and Bruno plays way deeper for Portugal. He doesn’t have the freedom to go forward, therefore he is not as beneficial for them.
Dane
Yep, the Czech Republic have a positive record against Denmark, too.
Indeed they do.
That game will definitely go into extra time and even penalties.
Please not penalties. Denmark cannot do penalties…
Dane, I meant to ask you something.
How was in Denmark around the Ericson incident?
Because here in the UK there was a lot of criticism why BBC didn’t cut off immediately the live broadcast.
Did you have any of those over there?
In terms of media, most people were watching local channels, especially the Danish national media (DR), and there the coverage was turned of including no inside stadium coverage. There’s been a fair bit of criticism of medias showing coverage of Eriksen’s girlfriend, close-ups and so on, as well as ‘the live breaking news sensational coverage’. However, the main criticism has been of Uefa and the options given to the team regarding completing the game vs Finland.
Cheers Dane.
That’s what I was thinking. It’s hard to judge about the coverage as it was one of those moments which shocked the world and nobody knew what is happening.
And yes, the UEFA should get the stick for forcing the team restarting the game so soon.
I think its time to put the fantasy game in the background and enjoy the knockouts which have been fabulous till now.
A danish dominance (after the shock incidents in first gane), italy stretched to the limit but surviving. The dutch shocked after a unfortunate but correct red card.
Of course i have 4 dutch players
Oh we all do!
Damn it. Just realised I forgot to switch the armband from Spina!
5 points doubled might not be a bad return the way things are going Goldilocks
Result!
I’d be happy with that in this game
Ha, turned out well!
Might leave it today as well.
Would be interesting to see how the old Belgian defenders cope with the Portuguese attack. Vertonghen, Vermaelen, Alderweireld (tho same could be said of Pepe for Portugal). Weakest link is there for the
especially when you consider Roberto Martinez is not really known for his defensive nous!
Where I live everything is on hold.
I am in Stockwell, south London, known as the little Portugal.
Expecting a lot of screams out of joy or disappointment
What a screamer by thorgan.
