Euro 2012

Euro 2012 – Captain Poll – Matchday 2

So…stick or twist? That’s the quandary facing Fantasy owners of Robert Lewandowski in the McDonald’s game after the Polish forward grabbed a goal and 12 point captaincy return in this evening’s 1-1 draw with Greece.

The Borussia Dortmund man was quick out the blocks, grabbing the opener after just 17 minutes and vindicating the 44% who voted him top of our Matchday 1 Captain Poll. Nodding home a cross from Jakub Blaszczykowski, Lewandowski looked primed to notch more after Greece were reduced to 10 men but the co-hosts failed to make their advantage pay before Wojciech Szczesny’s dismissal made the numbers even.

With Holland squaring up to Denmark tomorrow and Germany facing Portugal, there are plenty of options to consider. We rolled out the Captain Poll for Matchday 2 just after 5pm and already Robin Van Persie is an overwhelming favourite for tomorrow’s matches, acquiring 69% of the votes cast so far. Wesley Sneijder, Ibrahim Afellay and Arjen Robben also look in strong form heading into Saturday’s early kick-off, with Sneijder just sneaking into second place.

Later tomorrow evening, Germany’s clash with Portugal affords plenty of options, too. Mesut Ozil, Thomas Muller and Lucas Podolski all look certain starters for Joachim Low’s side, while uncertainty still remains over who will lead the line – Miroslav Klose or Mario Gomez? Cristiano Ronaldo is also likely to pick up some support prior to tomorrow’s deadline in the McDonald’s game but one thing’s for sure – if it’s filled with half the incident of this afternoon’s encounter, we’re in for an entertaining day.

        With the volume of players there doesn't look like enough transfers for anybody to move for me. Perhaps Cheszney but thats only a tiny % of people who have moved him out

    Evening everyone mixed feelings about today so annoying that when you have 2 teams in mind you always pick the wrong one my original team had both Lewandowski and Shirokov also had the Russian keeper (although at the time was Akinfeev) got rid of it due to too many starter doubts (influenced by Russian keeper and Mandzukic) so enviably chose Sczezney in goal, that being said I would have probably captained Lew over Shirikov so that worked in my favour. Having read a few comments I'm going to stick with him fwiw. 2 questions 1 everyone who is wildcarding are you doing it now and 2 can you do the transfers then hit the wildcard button later in the week so not to lose points (and confuse your opponent who sees you losing points left right and centre till you hit the wildcard on the last day) or do you have to press the wildcard straight away?

    Sorry for being thick, but do we get unlimited transfers after the groups, before the quarters?

    it would be funny if i switched capt off lewandowski and rvp doesn't score then switch it to jelavic who also doesn't and then to ibra who also doesn't so I actually lose points

        Worst case scenario you lose 4 points, 4 point hit to see if RVP, Jelly or Ibra can score more than 6 points seems like the odds are well in your favour. 1 goal from any of them you break even

      After RVP's four goals and two assists tomorrow, you won't have to change captain. Pretty simple game if you've got RVP in your team.

    Good idea to swap out Szchezny now for Cech ?
    Game against Greece.
    I assume he'll lose value over the red card
