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!
I didn’t bother entering a fantasy football team, just wanted to enjoy the football with a few bets along the way.
Good luck to everyone who did.
Managed to get tickets for Scotland v Czech Republic on Monday; can’t wait.
Come on Scotland.

Wow that’ll be amazing mate!! I’ll get behind your lot this week but next week it’s back to the auld enemy!!
Lol Rosco.
Thanks for being a part time Scotland supporter.
You must be closer to Hampden Park than Wembley Stadium.
Jamie
Don’t need you Rosco!
Soft Southerner.
Have a great time Jamie!
I might have something up my sleeve for Croatia … we’ll see.
Nice one GP, hope it works out for you.

Hey all,
Did a last minute euros team, but haven’t really paid too much attention to the rules.
I know you can change your captain, but can you do it for each match or is it 1 per day? So could I have alaba, for the first game, then Eriksson if that goes wrong, then lukaku if those 2 blank?
Cheers
It’s per day I think
You can change your captain and substitute any players from the bench everyday before the deadline which is 14:00 BST today.
OK thanks guys
OK, today candidates for the armband are Lukaku and Eriksen
Russia have lost only 1 game in the previous 5 games and without KDB and Hazard, Belgium could struggle. The game will be played in St Petersburg which in a way is a home game for the Russians.
Denmark are unbeaten this year while Finland are winless in all games prior the tournament. Home game in Copenhagen.
I am leaning towards Eriksen, although if he starts, Wind could steal the show.
What is your opinion?
Mind you, both are Inter Milan players, Eriksen has scored 3 and Lukaku 26 for the club in 2020/21 season. It’s all about how they will perform for their national teams.
I would go Lukaku Ivan.
Thanks GP, think I will.
Wish the rules were like in the Bundesliga where you can change captain for every game. Could have tried Eriksen first and then Luka if the first fails
How many chacnes do you want man!
Well GP, that’s the beauty, not being shackled with one C for the entire GW like in FPL
Lukaku – Belgium generally are a good attacking team, and Russia rarely keeps a clean sheet.
Eriksen – It’s quite random who ends up scoring for Denmark and Eriksen often assists the assister. That said he is on set pieces and likely to take penalties too, so there’s a decent chance he bangs an assist, a goal or even – dare one jinx it? – both!
There is a proper home field vibe here though and even if the stadium will not be packed (politics…) I’m sure there will be a great setting for an entertaining game!
Cheers Dane, will make a 13:55 decision.
I’m basically between these two players as well Ivan. Except I have Insigne as cap so I’m not sure what to do
That is a tough decision to make Matt.
If those two fail today, I have Kane and Depay to chose from tomorrow. And if they blank, have to rely on Jota as a last resort.
Go with your guts mate.
Ivan I have the same options. However Lukaku’s ownership is massive, if he goes big and you don’t captain him it will hurt.
SF, well said. Just moved the armband to him
Would you switch Beradi captain?
That is what I am doing Aarron. See above.
Yes
Yeah I would
Stick or twist
Got Insigne (c) 16pts
Or Switch to Big Boi Lukaku?
I have Insigne too and I’m going Lukaku, Kane, Lewandowski and Jota in that order.
Attack the game!
Cool GP
got Luk / Kane / Ron as options to (c)
I’m working to a plan of stick if Cap day gets 10pts, then 8 for second choice, then 6 will suffice after.
Bit of a boring question but would people swap out Cakir (3 points) for Hradecky (vs Denmark)?
Definitely. I am.
AK, go for it.
He might get more than 3 from a few saves.
