Euro 2016

Big Numbers – Last Four Matches- Part One

Euro 2016 is now just one day away after Portugal’s 7-0 win over Estonia brought an end to the recent batch of friendlies last night. In the first in a series of two members articles, we focus on some of the most pertinent statistics over each sides’ last four friendlies this calendar year. We begin with a look at the standout performers in defence and also assess a trio of midfielders, with a further three players in the centre of the park set to feature in tomorrow’s follow-up piece.

    Reading on some Polish website that Grosicki trained and getting stronger, but still not looking great for GW1. No idea of the reliability of the source...

      I think the Grosicki time has passed. With the doubts over his fitness he will never be as viable as before.

      quite reliable

  2. Scheister
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Ramos or Pique?

    1. Pete Campbell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Ramos is on pens if and when Iniesta subs off

    Already have a midfield of KDB, Payet and Perisic. Knowing one will be benched, who would you choose from:

    A) Ozil and Stanciu

    B) Hamsik and Junuzovic

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      B for me

      1. Clickzy
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Who would you bench?

        1. iCon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Junuzovic as he plays last and can be brought in for whoever does the worst from the others. Unless you're talking about a different game to the McDs one?

    2. Pete Campbell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      B

    Can I get RMT on this please lads?

    Can anyone pick out any problems with this?

    Kozacik (de gea MD4 C?)

    Hector Rami Rodriguez (MD2 C) dragovic guerreiro

    Forsberg hamsik payet perisic ozil

    Giroud (MD1 C) lewandowski (MD3 C) janko (MD5 C)

    Can I finally leave it alone?

    Guerreiro, thoughts on his game time?

  6. Number 10
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    A) Silva + Kane
    B) Ronaldo + Weiss

    Thanks!

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      A but feel Silva is a little over priced at 10.0.

    Please rate my team so that I finally pay some attention to my gf 😀 :

    2. Herman Toothrot

      How much attention would she get if it was rated 3/10?

      1. Blurryface
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Cmmon man let him spend some time out of football

      2. mr.stanishev
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Same. Attention rate 3/10.

  8. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Kozacik - Randolph
    Alba - Koscielny - Bonucci - Schar - Gonul
    KdB - Payet - Konoplyanka - Junuzovic - Stanciu
    Muller - Giroud - Nolito

    S'alri? 🙂

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Personally not keen on Nolito taking up a strikers spot but otherwise good!

        Cheers DL 🙂

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Was considering Bale + Dzemaili vs Nolito + KdB

    2. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Very nice. Looks like I have 7out of 8 your attackers and quite similar defence. Must be good!

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐

        😎

    How can I improve my team:

    Rui, Kovacik,

    Howedes, Dier, Rami, Juanfran, Pepe

    Mak, Alaba, Stanciu, Nanggolean, Perisik

    Ronaldo, Muller, Giroud

    What should I downgrade??

    Thanks!

    1. juggos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Nainggolan should be upgraded. Pepe can go because no need for double Portugal defence esp as they play on the final days

  10. King Henrik
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    is ozil and muller a overkill on ze germans ?

    i also have hector.

    1. Pete Campbell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      I wouldn't say overkill. The only thing about having 3 from any nation that concerns me is the inflexibility it causes later

  11. Pete Campbell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Kozacik (Patricio)

    Hector, Rodriguez, Dier (Strinic, Alba)

    Perisic, Fabregas, Matuidi, Dzemaili (Alaba)

    Muller, Giroud (c), Kane

    I have 1.5 in ITB. Where do I spend it? Or just keep it up my sleeve?

    1. Scheister
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Dzemaili to Junuzovic?

  12. Scheister
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Alright, all finished! What do you think?

    Sommer Patricio
    Juanfran Ramos Rami Rodriguez Guerreiro
    Hamsik Payet Perisic Ozil Junuzovic
    Muller Giroud Nolito

    1. Blurryface
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Attack line is the same. Have KDB instead of Ozil

  13. Scheister
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Is Giroud or Payet a better captain choice for first match? (Assuming both start)

  14. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    a)Witsel is a starter for Belgium?
    b)Giroud or Griezmann?

  15. Bøss ⭐
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    thoughts on Ozil?

    I just brought him in instead of Goetze as I was worried about him not being nailed on, which also allowed me to upgrade my keeper

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      4 assists in qualifying 😎

    2. themilkyjoe
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Good choice, Ozil is likely to play full 90 minutes and Germany are capable of getting high scoring wins which he will be part of

  16. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Is it better than Irish Madridista's Team ?

    Sommer , Kozacik

    Schar , Glik , Alba , Dragovic , Guerrerio

    Payet , Peresic , Stanciu , Ozil , Junzovic

    Muller , Lewandowski , Nolito

    1. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      If Glik only for GW1 then it's very good. And I wouldn't double up on Swiss def, but I can see it' s quite popular

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        My plan is to wc after gw 1 . I think they have a good chance vs Albania .

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Sommer -> Randolph
      Glik -> Bonucci
      Dragovic -> Gonul
      Guerreiro -> Koscielny
      Perisic -> Konoplyanka
      Ozil -> KdB
      Lewandowski -> Giroud

      😀

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        On a more serious note... Don't like Lewa. Would rather Bale / Giroud.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          My plan is to wildcard after gw 1 and ditch him . Which do you prefer A) Stanciu and Peresic B) Mak and Fabregas just for gw 1 ? . If Fabs starts vs Czech Republic I prefer B

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 days ago

            I fancy Northern Ireland's chances v Poland.

            A) with Konoplyanka vs Can/Howedes.

            1. Belalugozi78
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 8 days ago

              Why do you underestimate Howedes? He is World Cup winner playing alm the games on the left side although he's right footed. He will be ok

              1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 8 days ago

                Not a comparison but djimi traore is a Champions League winner tbf . I don't think being a World Cup winner should spare him from criticism .

                1. Belalugozi78
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 8 days ago

                  Yeah there are lots of accidental winners but This is not what I try to tell you. He played all the games out od position and still they won world Cup. That's it

              2. Irish Madridista ⭐
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 8 days ago

                Solid defender but not the quickest..

            2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 8 days ago

              If spirit and fan support won tournaments we would be favourites . I will look into Kono thanks again 🙂

    Thoughts lads here it is!!!

    Patricio/Kozacik

    Dier-Juanfran-Rami-Djourou-Strinic

    Alli-KDB-Ozil-Stanciu0Renato Sanches

    Muller-Giroud-Ronaldo

  18. The 12th Man

    Evertons new Dawn.

    They give Darron Gibson a 2 year extension to his contract. Oh great!!!

  19. Bushiosboys
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Think i've finished (changed a LOT since reading posts on here)

    Anything that would worry you?

    Sommer
    Djourou / Howedes / Rami
    Mak / Payet / Perisic / Stanciu
    Giroud / Muller / Ronaldo

    Rui Pat / Juanfran / R Guerreiro / Alaba

    1. Opta out
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      I like this. Payet can be changed if he don't start so no worries there.

    2. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      There are few worries here and there ( Howedes, Payet, Guerreiro or even Juanfran) but I personally think only Guerreiro may not start.

  20. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Patricio - 4m
    Schar - Lichsteiner - rami - Dragovic - Strinic
    Ozil - Perisic - Hamsik - Alli - Chipciu
    Ronaldo - Ibrahimovic - Giroud

    Differential team. WC after GW 1.

    Captain spread - Giroud - Hamsik - Perisic - Ibra - Ronaldo.

    Lets do this. 😎

    Any comments on this lot. Dunno about Kroos. Matuidi instead maybe?

    All suggestions greatly appreciated.

  22. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Currently have Alaba. Think I should bump him for Junuzovic as the more attacking pick?

  23. Bøss ⭐
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    right, any feedback/constructive criticism on this bunch:

    De Gea (Rui Patricio)

    Juanfran, Evra, Hector, Schar (Denayer)

    Ozil, Payet, Alli (Rafa Silver, 4.5 bench fodder)

    Giroud, Lewandowski, Muller

    I'll be sticking to a 4-3-3, I could easily free up 1.5m through downgrading Evra and my 2nd keeper to upgrade the midfield but I'm pretty happy with it as is tbh!

  25. EuroChamp16

    After some final changes, any chance of some feedback or suggestions to better my team?

    Sommer (Patricio)

    Alba - Hector - Rami - Dragovic (Denayer)

    Ozil - Fabregas - Junuzovic (Forsberg) (Sanches)

    Muller - Ronaldo - Giroud

    Not happy with Sanches but do not know if there is anyone else at 4.5m. Also considering changing Fabregas to Matuidi. Any ideas please?
