Fantasy Euros U21 Launches

Bernardeschi out of nowhere!!! 1-1.

ha nightmere

Still a huge advantage for Spain. 11 vs 10 :S

1-1 Out of nowhere. Good for the game, but losing many points with 2 def, 2 mid and 1 fwd from Spain.

SAUL AGAIN. Mikess top overall then !

OMG, that is a fantasy nightmare with Deu and Saul, but fair play.

What a run that was by DANI CEBALLOS

Captained the wrong guy lol

Hattrick Holy shit. Don't even care about the game now, What a player

Good night to anyone without Saul 🙁 , he is a bit good.

So 9 GER and 2 SPA for us chasers?

Checked the scores and found Delofeu (C).
Was certain that i changes to Saul.

Tom, you Around

price list hopefully refreshing after midnight

Just Saw Saul (C) Hat-Trick. What a brilliant player he is.

Upto 7 Overall . Would have been in real running for the title if not for those docked points.
Tom !!!!!!!!!

Are Arnold and Klempf suspended for the final?

If you put 2 German 4.0 in goal and 3 fodders 5.0 (One as to be ESP) you Get 77 to field 10 players.
Good luck with that.

I must say, i feel like a beta tester

just had a look at the terms of the game .. omg, those who did not provide their first name and family name won't be entitled to any prize .. it leaves only Ryan Seechurn, Bryan Fury(if not fictituous), Brian Setzer and Sukhraj Singh in the Top 20, the only ones who will be entited to receive prizes .. the rest are fooked .. damnt it .. feeling down .. will not even play it for the final then ..

There is absolutely no way to have a playing 11 for the finals right?

Might as well just back Germany for the bants. Can't win it from 64 OR, but could maybe get to first page if Germany manage to cause an upset and if that happens could be in with a shout of highest round scorer. Realistically will probably drop down at least hundred places, but doesn't really matter anymore.

Find it a bit ridiculous that even when backing the underdog, if Stark and Selke are fit and Kehrer and Platte don't start, then I might have to go without a keeper. Also annoying that after adding nine Germans, the two cheapest Spain starters cost 7.5m+ and likely subs 7m too. For example, not sure what was the point of upping defensive mid Llorente from 7m to 7.5m.

So they priced some players 5 and 6 which we can use as bench fodders. Good.

Aim of this is
It frees the space to use those funds purely on starting XI. Nice Nice.

Then they Increase the price of players like Ceballos,Vallejo,Llorente,Kempf,Sandro R. etc. which we want in our teams.

So essentially The funds freed by having 5.0 6.0 bench fodders wont be of much use coz to get the same players we had in previous rounds we have to pay 1.0 more for them. Bloody

As mentioned above they have probably made it worse even.

C'mon guys. If the budget was 'easier' all squads would look the same. We wanted to avoid it. Everyone would have Saul, Asensio, Gnabry, Selke, Toljan, Bellerin, Sandro. At least. 7 same players in each team. All squads would differ 3-4 players. What's the sense? GW4 was a challenge and we wanted to remain this convention. Now you need to choose between these players and also predict some valuable sub (one, maybe two; depends on squad choices). Before we released the transfer list we made tests and we convinced ourselves that it is possible to create decent teams. Also with GK.

So... take GW5 as a challenge! Fantasy Pilkarzyki never let win noobs. Here real managers count! 🙂

4.0
Bellerin Vallejo Johny 5.0
Saul Asensio (C) Ceballos 5.0
Delofeu Ramirez

4.0 5.0 5.0 5.0

Lovely!

I see it as a positive.

At the end of the day, we are all playing this game to occupy our time until FPL officially opens. These summer months can be painful.

An easy budget would take up 5 minutes of our time. This challenging budget gives us plenty to research and mull over. Certainly kept me occupied whilst I've been working nights.

I'd like to say I think the guy from #FANTASYEUROU21 have done a stellar job. I personally was gutted upon hearing uefa.com were not running an official game but I feel the guys in Poland have accommodated us English speaking players excellently

Tom, if you have visited these pages before you know one our favorite things is to complain. But I think the criticism about player prices and budget is pretty reasonable this time. Other than that you have done an excellent job with communication and running the game.

I just started to build from scratch, decided to back mainly Spain, ignored the three best attacking players from each team: Saul, Asensio, Deulofeu, Gnabry, Meyer and Selke. Ignored two of the best attacking defenders in Bellerin and Toljan. Picked two "super-subs" in Amiri and Williams. Got just in to budget, but I had to pick the worse option in every position and this team is pretty crap.

A game of football where you cant field 11 players its a disgrace.
Simples

Give these guys a break. They made the effort to put on a Euro U21 fantasy game when nobody else did. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing.

Raising the budget to 105 would probably solve the drama. No need to adjust prices

I've had a quick look at the prices, and I like them.

I would've lowered the prices of the starting goalkeepers a bit, because it's too easy to save money by not going with them. They don't get save points. They are unlikely to get offensive points. You save 3.5-4.0 by not going with one.

Overall I prefer these prizes over being easily able to field an 11. Finals tend to be the most boring part of tournament fantasy games. This is going to be a fun challenge.

There is at least few tactics how to field your team (all checked for game budget):

1. Bank on 0:0 - field 1-5-4-1 or 1-5-3-2
Cheapset Def + 4 cheapest mids (points for CS) or 1-5-3-2

With that budget you can do first tactic with 1-2 players that are always comming form bench (Oyarzabal, Amiri etc) or field all starters (second tactic)

2. Bank on many goalz and a draw 2:2, 3:3 etc - field 0-0-4-3 or 0-1-4-3
No GK + No Def + Heavy hitters

Hope that few players from both sides will score and no points for winning a game. Here you ignore GK and Def. Get Asensio, Maeyer, Selke etc. Goals will be spread around all of them so you get players from both sides and ignore the back because they won't get any points or even -1, -2.

3. Bank on Spa win and many goalz but score like 4:3 etc - field 0-1-5-2 or 0-2-4-3
No GK + 1/2 defs + mid and attack of Spa/Ger.

GK and defenders will get 1-3 pts (assuming no assist and goal) so ignore them and get full Spa mid+attack (or pick full Spa plus 1-2 Ger). Remember that players like Williams will have a cameo so you can field 3 Spa strikers.

4. Bank on Ger win and many goalz but score like 4:3 etc - field 0-2-4-3 or 0-2-5-2
No GK + 2 Def + mid and attack of Ger/Spa.

Same with the back but you can get 2 defs and get full Ger mid+attack (or pick full Ger plus 1-2 Spa). Remember that some players will have a cameo.

5. Bank on low scoring win like 1:0 - 1-4-2-1 or 0-4-3-1

CS so pick GK and 4 defs (you can gamble on some defender cameo so you can get even more out of that CS) and this tactic is not easy as you must pick who will score/assist. Pick just 2-3 heavy hitters and hope you will get lucky. There is no chance that you will get them all. Obviously there is more difficult with Spain team (you can easly pick full Ger defence and 4 Ger attack with main heavy hitters) but there is a way to pick full Spa defence + Asensio + Niguez + Spa Striker.

6. Bank on score like 2:1, 3:1 - 0-2-4-3

Again no GK as I think that there is a way to go in this fantasy especially with that budget and obviously if U predict no CS. Pick 1 defender that you fell that is most attacking and (but not nesesary) has more chance for winning points and one for 7.0. Use budget for attacking players as they will score points and forget about defence because there is no chance to filed decent XI with all important players who can score points. Pick more players from a team that U feel will win but get 1-2 form the other team too as both teams will score in that scenario. Here i picked 3 most expensive 3 strikers but you can also get one cheaper on in place of Selke/Deulofeu and use that money to get another defender to filed 10 players.
