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

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!
Hats off to Hungary with that tremendous effort.
They made it one of the most exciting nights of football
England versus Germany. Awesome.
Which France attacker is best against Switzerland
Mbappe
Benzema
Griezmann
Mbappe doesn’t seem to be firing just yet, although teams aren’t allowing extra space in behind and are deliberately dropping off quickly to deny him it. Not so much of a surprise package this time.
Benzema is on pens now I suppose.
Griezmann too busy being too busy everywhere to actually be effective up top.
At any moment mbappe could spring to life, Turkey had 25 attempts against Switzerland last time out
i ll go with benzema
Think I’m on Benzema. Just seems better value now he’s scoring again
So. Dust has settled. Chips are all gone.
What is the best strategy to navigate knockouts?
Bring in expensive defenders from “bigger” teams for clean sheets/minimising need for too many necessary transfers for the quarter finals?
Target Italian, French and Dutch players in general?
I’ll take some risks as I’ve still got wildcard Left
Show off 😛
yes italy & dutch players 3 mayb. maybe 1 or 2 french & sweden players. then 1 player each from those u think will go thru like denmark and belgium and germany
Agreed. Maybe not on Germany as heart will rule over head there I think!
I’m loading up on Dutch and Italians. Other than that the teams I’m more confident of winning
I am going to go with at least 2 German players but which ones will be difficult to decide.
*France are 7/2 to go one further than they did in 2016 and win the Euros, while Germany are 11/2 second favourites and Italy third at 6/1.
I think we beat Germany but I’m trying to avoid the fixture. The winners will be where my transfers are
Yep, I think too, England will take this one.
The thing is, it’s one of these games where we can see 4/5 goals or frustrating 0-0 ending in a penalty shootout.
Hard to predict but it’s worth the punt.
Try to get players from teams you think will progress to the quarterfinals and hope they will. It’s a bit of lottery as there will be some surprises in the end.
Next questions – have price changes happened or are they still impending for this round?
Yes, some of the players have gone up.
The likes of KDB, Perisic, P Torres +01. Gosens+02
In the meantime everyone gets 5 mill budget increase.
And, this time you are allowed 4 players from a team instead of 3.
Next, next question – pick 2 of the following: Immobile, Depay, Benzema.
All three
Depay, Immo, Benz – by order of priority imo
Currently Ronaldo has 3rd spot but maybe you’re right and 10m strikers is the way forward?!
i was planning to put exactly these 3 budget permitting
I’m going with 14 players, not sure who to choose mbappe or Benzema
I think 3 at the back from Italy (GK+2 Def) could bring more points than chancing a mid or a striker.
After all, they are the first team in Euro history to finish all three group stage games with cleansheets.
England have 3 clean sheets in 3 just like Italy
Aarron, two days later though
