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.

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!
2nd draft.
Happier with this team.
Looks good, though you may as well start Alioski and Aba ahead of Ronaldo and Gündogan (as the latter pair play towards the end of MD1).
Keep an eye out on news regarding the Spain squad following a couple of positive tests. They’re hoping to give the whole squad their first Pfizer dose in the coming days.
Geez…you think they would have had it a while ago. Crazy!
Oh shoot.
Is Hradecky a starter?
Aarron, he is, the cheapest playing GK.
Don’t expect cleansheets unless there is a shocking surprise, plenty of saves though.
Yes, but have a back up goalkeeper to change to after he concedes a few!
Hey everyone!
I hope you are well? 2nd draft in progress (I will probably do Insigne and Yazici to Foden/Torres and Berardi (if he is in the Italian starting XI)
Any thoughts and suggestions are welcomed
I forgot to mention that I will be using my limitless chip in MD2, so I only need this team for MD1 and MD3.
By match day 3 this team might be through to the next round they’ll be plenty of changes to each team by then, I’ll be doing limitless Chip in game week 3
That’s actually one of the reasons behind it, as I’d want to use it on players that I know (to some certainty) will play and have all to play for still.
Also, I think there might be some twists and turns, and it won’t be that easy for the group favourites.
Tornado, I love it and just remind me that I must go back and get Kane, the predicted Golden Boot winner.
Bruno and Cancelo can do three times more of what CR7 might or might not do. I will be going that road too
Cheers, Ivan!
I feel Kane will do well, especially in the group stage.
I want Mbappe, CR7, etc but we can’t have them all, can we…
Like it Tornado.
Cheers GP! I am sure you like one of my defenders in particular haha
Is Bruno worth brining in? Or does he play too far back?
Thanks!
Bees, he had 2 goals and assist last night. Ronaldo managed just one, as many as Cancelo.
I may just go with him. Or else Bernardo who plays upfront. I think Portugal will do very well. Wish I had the cash for Cancelo or Dias…will have Pepe. Hope he is a regular starter? Do you know?
I’ve got Bilva and Pepe. But when I see the Italy lineup, I may go for Beradi or there may be another cheap player to let me upgrade Pepe to Dias/Cancelo
The only thing he loses is the penalties.
I wouldn’t worry about bringing him in at all.
Out of curiosity, who do you think will progress to the knock-out stages out of the “lesser” teams?
Group A
1. Belgium
2. Switzerland
3. Turkey?
4. Wales? Can’t decide on Turkey or Wales for 3 and 4.
Group B
1. Belgium
2. Denmark
3. Russia
4. Finland
Group C
1. Netherlands
2. Ukraine?
3. Austria?
4. North Macedonia Ukraine or Austria to go thru 2?
Group D
1. England
2. Croatia?
3. Scotland?
4. Czech
Feel this group could go many ways…
Group E
1. Spain
2. Sweden
3. Poland
4. Slovakia
Group F
1. France
2. Portugal
3. Germany
4. Hungary
What do you lads reckon?
I wouldn’t disagree with a lot of that Sanchez but I definitely fancy Turkey to better Switzerland and I’m not falling down shocked if Spain and Netherlands qualify but DON’T win their groups.
With three home games, the Danes could quite possibly win their group.
GP – Good points and yeah, defo not convinced by the Netherlands. Tempted not to go w/ Depay (or Weghorst who I think is better value) up top unlike most because of it.
Depay has 5 goals in his last 3 games (yes 2 of those were vs Gibraltar
). He’s one of the cheapest in-form strikers at the Euros.
Good point, and playing at home as well. Right when I convinced myself to get rid of Dutch players
I do have Depay myself based on his season, recent form, penalties and a couple of matches which really could go in their favour.
Yeah now I see why…
Good lad that fellow
How’s Eriksen been in Serie A? Feel like I should bring him in tho a bit pricier than a few other similar attacking options….
He’s had a tough transition, starting more on the bench than not. ~1400 minutes over 26-27ish games I believe. His form of late has been on the rise, especially in the Euro QF for the national team. In serie A he’s more an assist the assister I’d say, but he’s a very talented playmaker.
Yeah, and defo a threat from free kicks! Worth bringing in you think?
I think he’s expensive. That and because it will be double the disappointment if he’s not returning is why I don’t have him – e.g. compare him to Insigne at 8.5? 100% go for the guy in blue!
That said, he’s key on set pieces and first/second in line for penalties and probably is involved in about half of DK’s goals so not a bad choice either
If you mean surprise movers
A-Wales
B-Russia
C-Austria
D-Scotland
E-Poland
F-Portugal
Yeah, Russia and perhaps even Scotland might get a boost from the home crowd…
I’ve got it as :
A – Italy to win all three. Turkey to beat Wales and the rest draws. ITA 9, TUR 4, SWI 2, WAL 1
B – Denmark to win all three, Belgium two wins and everyone beats Finland. DEN 9, BEL 6, RUS 3, FIN 0
C – Nederland to win all three, Macedonia to lose all 3 and Ukraine & Austria play out a convenient draw. NED 9, UKR 4, AUS 4, MAC 0
D – England Croatia draw. Czech beat Scotland. Eng Scot draw and Cro beat Cze. Cro beat Scot to top the group and Eng just scrape a win against Cze to get 2nd. CRO 5, ENG 5, CZE 4, SCO 1
E – Same as C, Spain win all three, Slovakia lose and needing a point each from the last game to both qualify POL and SWE draw. SPA 9, POL 4, SWE 4, SLK 0
F – Nobody from the three main teams want to lose a game so I can see all beating Hungary and 3 draws. In order of goal difference FRA 5, POR 5, GER 5, HUN 0
But remember you know how cak I was in HarryLloyd !
*D – CRO v CZE draw
I like your analyses Otieno. Some of that could well be spot on.
I suspect Turkey will do well, Denmark may well win their group, Poland could finish above Spain. And if England top group D, surely Germany should be 2nd in group F.
