Euro 2016

Big Numbers – Last Four Matches – Part Two

After rolling out the first instalment of our two-part series of members’ articles covering the last four friendlies, we cast an eye over another batch of standout performers. The Belgium and France midfields come under analysis after some stellar recent displays, whilst we also assess a number of in-form forwards ahead of tonight’s opening match of Euro 2016.

    Thoughts on Quaresma?

      You get what you pay. Very inconsistent.

    Mak or Alli ?

      That's just the way it is. Try again until it works and hope that's before the transfer deadline.

    How's this team?
    Lloris
    Azpi Hector Mangala
    KdB Cesc Pogba Saches
    Bale Kane Muller
    Subs: Mucha, Stones, Fonte and 4.0m

    1. VS10_
      • 8 Years

      Read the rules about manual substitutions and start again.

      1. Thomass
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        What's the rules? Had exams so couldn't keep up to date!

          Manager substitutions
          After all matches on a single day have finished and before the next matches start, you can:

          Replace any player (unless they were sent off) with one from your bench whose team is yet to play
          Change your captain (if he was not sent off) with a player from your squad whose team is yet to play
          Players who are substituted out will score 0 points. The captain bonus will be lost from your original captain if a new captain is selected. Substitutions and captain changes can't be cancelled once confirmed.
          An unlimited number of manager substitutions can be made, although it is not possible to make them after games on the last day of the matchday as all fixtures will have been completed.
          If a manager substitution or captain change is made, then no automatic substitutions will take place in your team that matchday.

    What is the best site for predicted line ups? Both Whoscored and the UEFA site fail to mention Grosicki being a doubt for Poland which doesn't fill me witn much confidence.

      1. WorldCupDanB
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks for that I have seen it but wasn't sure how knowledgeable r/FantasyPL was

    1. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Both of them have a great history of failing at lineup predictions. I recommend http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

      1. Funkyav
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        exactly as per usual this is the best site for anything fantasy football related

      2. WorldCupDanB
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Just a shame they havent done a a team news article or done the projected line ups in the team news section.

  6. Sweden11
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Good to go or any improvements needed?
    Mostly concerned over Denayer, will he play? Maybe should do:
    Rodriguez + Denayer --> Juanfran + Djourou

    Sommer Patricio
    Hector Rami Denayer Dragovic Rodriguez
    Payet Özil Perisic Alaba Forsberg
    Muller Giroud Morata

  7. Slam
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Would you go with...
    A) Schar + Mak (Already got Hamsik)
    B) Rodriguez + Stanciu

    1. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think I will be going with Hamsik and Mak! But Rodriguez sways it to B here

    What makes people so confident about the Porra keeper?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I assume you mean the Portugal keeper and it's more that he plays in the last game rather than anything else .

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        And also Portugal won a crazy number of qualifiers 1-0.

                Nope, yesterday I said they were involved in 5 games that finished 1-0 as we were debating their attacking propensity (or somewhat lack thereof) - one of the 5 was a defeat to Albania 😉

      It's garbage

  10. Slacker
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Good to go?

    0.5 ITB and (#) for captaincy order

    Sommer, Patricio
    Hector, Neil Taylor, McAuley, Denayer, Strinic
    KDB(3), Ozil, Alaba, Kapustka
    Ronaldo(4), Muller(2), Giru(1)

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      It'll do.

  11. the grinder

    Does there exist a playing midfielder of 4.5?

    1. Big Sum
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      yes

    2. Yolo Toure
      • 9 Years

      renato sanches

    3. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes but you don't want him

  12. cockmcballs
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I'm thinking of picking Walker of Dier. Thoughts?

    1. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Dier a bit more nailed and has the odd goal in him.

  13. faver
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I've just checked last few Spain games, Alaba starts only 1 one of them, all 4 side defenders were involved. Which 2 are nailed to start? Alba and Juanfran for sure?

    1. Funkyav
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Pique and Ramos are nailed.

      Alba is nailed

      There are questions marks over the RB but Juanfran looks first choice.

    2. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      There was no need to play the first choice defenders, especially Juanfran and Ramos who had just played 120 minutes in UCL final. Those two and Alba Pique are nailed.

  14. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Muller back in my team!! So give me your thoughts on this team folks? 🙂

    Kozacik Patricio
    Rodriguez Juanfran Rami Dier Giacherrini
    Payet Hamsik Perisic Junuzovic Mak
    Ronaldo Muller Nolito

  15. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Forsberg or Dzemaili?

    1. Funkyav
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I currently have Forsberg but he is one I might swap before deadline

      Sorry that doesnt really help does it

    2. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Toss a coin they are both equally as crap

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Forsberg will be instrumental to our attack.
      Both good picks.

  16. Blurryface
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A. Nolito Hamsik Dragovic

    B. Morata Mak Guerriero/Strinic

    I think Sterling will do well, fwiw.

    1. Funkyav
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      what are you basing that on?

      1. KingNidge
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Good luck getting a response to that

    2. iCon

      Do you think a Brexit will negatively affect it? 😉

    Another RMT post:

    Sommer/Patricio

    Hector/Rami/Juanfran/Denayer/Pazdan

    Alli/Martial/Gotze/Gomes/Hrošovský

    Muller/Lewandowski/Giroud

    0.5M ITB

    I'm obviously going to check the france squad for who starts out Payet/Martial and adjust accordinly.

    Had also planned to use the free transfer in Rd1 to transfer Lewandowski for CR7.

    Is it worth using the 0.5M ITB to upgrade Alli to Alaba or some else?

    1. cockmcballs
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure on Denayer. Think Ciman is a fairer (and cheaper) bet. Wilmots played his starting XI on training with Ciman as a rightback.
      Denayer played terribly in the last couple of friendlies, looked very insecure. Knowing Wilmots who is pretty traditional, he will go with a seasoned defender in Ciman on the right back.

  19. George Sillett

    Does anybody know anything about Janko being injury flagged?

    2. milanista10

      Personally I'd downgrade Ozil/Giroud and change Denayer and Sanches

  21. milanista10

    A) Giroud, Gotze, Dragovic

    Can someone please say a word about the optimal way to spend my spare 1.5?

    Patricio Sommer
    Schar Hector Juanfran Rami Strinic
    Ozil Payet Hamsik Junuzovic Perisic
    Muller Giroud Nolito

    Gru to Griez? Shave defense and Hamsik to X?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Personally I don't fancy Nolito, I'd do Nolito to Janko / Milik

  24. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on this? -

    Rui Patricio - Randolph

    Hector - Juanfran - Schar - Dragovic - Deanyer

    Perisic - Matudi - Fabregas - Junuzovic - Forsberg

    Ronaldo - Muller - Giroud

    1. RICHH
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Very similar to mine although i currently have Rami and Dier rather than Schar and Denayer

    Tempted to swap Pogba for Sterling so that I can use the 1m to upgrade R. Silva.

    Would this be a bad move?

  28. CoxysLeftBoot

    Final draft. GTG?

    Kozacik - Rui Patricio

    Glik - Hector - Juan Fran - Rami - Denayer

    Alli - De Rossi - Matuidi - Alaba - Sanches

    Lewandowski - Muller - Ronaldo

      looks good. Dream Strikeforce

      1. CoxysLeftBoot
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Hopefully they will all start, I've tried to spread players over the days to utilise subs.

  29. matty_b_OAFC
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    What you reckon guys?

    Rui Pat / Sommer
    Boateng / Dier / Juanfran / Rami / Rodriguez
    Hakan / Payet / Perisic / Alaba / Candreva
    Muller / Giroud / Nolito

    Midfield too light? Gone for an approach of loading up on set piece takers.

    Aiming to take advantage of the subs rather than having bench fodder.

    1. CoxysLeftBoot
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good to me, liking the set piece heavy plan.

  30. nandos3000
    • 7 Years

    Gotze and Nolito

    Or

    Ozil and Milik

    Or

    Mak and Muller ??
