Dugout Discussion – Tuesday – Group D

Group D now draws to a conclusion in Tuesday’s final pair of fixtures.

Spain go up against Croatia tonight as the defending champions look to extend their 100% record on the back of wins over Czech Republic and Turkey.

Vicente del Bosque’s men still need a point to top the group and avoid slipping to second place, where they’d be pitted against the winners of Group E, which looks likely to be Italy.

Croatia, meanwhile, are still reeling from a late capitulation against Czech Republic which saw them throw away a two-goal advantage with just 15 minutes left on the clock.

Turkey and Czech Republic go head-to-head in the other match. Fatih Terim’s men are one of only three sides yet to find the net in Euro 2016 and with just two shots on target, it’s fair to say they need to improve their shooting to stand any chance of progressing.

Bearing in mind that both sides were ranked in the bottom three for shots conceded inside the box after the first two rounds of fixtures, though, Fantasy managers will be optimistic of goals in the penultimate night of the group stages.

    Are both Nani and Lukaku nailed on to start tomorrow?

    Stick or twist from Milik captain? If twist then who would you give the armband to between Lukaku and Nani?

    1. Sauzée
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I would stick with those options.

    everbody laugh at me for taking out perisic when I panicked about not having any french cover when I found out payet was on the bench

    Going for de bruyne later on even though I got 10 with milik and I have a possibly safer option in barzagli. comfortably ahead in my friends and other forum league but no great shakes world wide or in the UK so why the heck not!

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years

        I think I still prefer Messi's. Farther out and bigger game.

          1. Yankee Toffee

    With that, he becomes the all-time leading goalscorer for Argentina, besting Batistuta.

    1. Blurryface
      • 7 Years

    Subbed out Matuidi instead of Payet for tomorrow just because of that YouTube video of his free kick.

      2. Red Reddington ⚽
        • 9 Years

        I don't think so. Depends on how much your current players increase/decrease in price?

  24. Ziro
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Lavezzi is done.

    1. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He's been a shadow of his former self even since he left Napoli, sadly.

  25. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Rojo waits for the stretcher, then walks off unaided without even a limp.

  26. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years

    196 points. Lukaku and giacherrini to play. So happy I resisted playing my wc, would have dumped half my team.

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Well done mate. 🙂

      1. SpaceCadet

    2. E25

      7 years, 10 months ago

      Nice one. I'm the same (well except 177 points only 😉
      When you planning to use WC?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Quarters I guess, haven't decided yet

    3. Yankee Toffee

      Giaccerini prob will be rested btw

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        So I've heard, can't be too greedy 🙂

  27. E25
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Chances of Bonucci playing tomorrow? Worth sacrificing a 1 pointer?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Probably 30/70 to play. Depends if he wants to play Ogbonna or Bonucci. Ireland have to score so I'd stick tbh.

      1. E25
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        CHeers.. I guess Bonucci being on a yellow makes it even more likely he will sit out.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Yep. Silly to play him tbh.

  28. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    How does that look to you? With possibly Bonucci in for Darmian.

    Italy starting lineup: Sirigu, Barzagli, Ogbonna, Darmian, Motta, Bernadeschi, Sturaro, Insigne, Florenzi, El Shaarawy, Zaza

    http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/euro2016/italy-vs-republic-of-ireland-euro-2016-group-e-preview-prediction-team-news-permutations-live-tv-and-a3276516.html

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Looks spot on. Bonucci has more chance to replace Ogbonna over Darmian.

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Sirigu, Ogbonna Barzagli Darmian, Florenzi Sturaro Motta De Sciglio El Sharaawy, Immobile Zaza was the predicted lineup actually.

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No bonucci/Chellini
      Don't make me think about giving the armband to shane long 🙂

  29. aad

    Is Vermaelen nailed?

    1. Blurryface
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      yeah why not

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Should be: Courtois; Meunier, Alderweireld, Vermaelen, Vertonghen; Witsel, Dembélé; Hazard, De Bruyne, Carrasco; Lukaku

      Same as vs. Ireland

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Replace Witsel with Nainngolan and this is a top 4 team.
