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.

    I was happy with my pick of Konoplyanka until someone said he was the Ukranian Messi.

    Presumably this means he is crap when when playing for his Country?... 🙁

          From rules:

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

          Replace any player who wasn't sent off, with one from your bench whose team is yet to play.
          Change your captain if he wasn't sent off, with a player from your squad whose team is yet to play.

          Unless I remember wrongly, this was how the world cup one worked too...

          Yep, what he presumably means is that he has someone who's scored something like 2, and he's wondering whether to sub them out now. But someone could always score 1, and then you'll be left wishing you'd waited, because once someone's subbed out they can't be subbed back in.

              Doos is the winner today, Shirokov (C) did wonders to the score. More importantly we dont have Wojech.

              Personally I didnt do great but have got some nice 3 pointers which will help a little. Didnt have any big guns today and double russki defence didnt work out great.

      Worse come to the worst, you can captain a defender and hope for the best. A clean sheet will get you 6 points, probably 7 or 8 pending recovered balls.

      If that was me, the odds are stacked in your favour that either RVP or Jelavic will AT LEAST score 1 goal between them. Odds of them both not scoring/assisting is pretty high. I'd twist, but it's your call.

      This graphic from the tabloid Bild ahead of tomorrow's match explains Müller's position in the German team. The line-up seems to be what I'd expect, with Boateng at right-back.

      http://bilder.bild.de/fotos/aufstellungen-24568396/Bild/2.bild.jpg

      He's not on brilliant form at the moment, to be honest but how much of that is down to the player himself is debatable. Müller suffered along with the rest of the Bayern team after Christmas due to the team's increasingly static and tactically inflexible performances. If Klose starts against Portugal, then he's much more capable than Mario Gomez of dragging the central defenders out of position and allowing space for the wide men such as Müller and Podolski to exploit.

      If it isn't working for Müller tomorrow though, Germany have lots of attacking midfield options to bring off the bench.

            Percentages are meaningless in this context, but I've not seen anyone inside the German camp claim that Gomez will start if Klose is fit.

            Klose did cut short his training today due to ankle joint problems, but this is merely a precaution. I'm pretty sure he'll play if he's fit.

          Özil isn't necessarily in better form than Müller - neither have looked sharp. The Real Madrid player has looked tired in friendlies, and really only performed at best in short bursts and been invisible for others. This still often equates to an assist though.

          Germany haven't inspired confidence in their pre-tournament performances in any area of the pitch, particularly defensively where the back line has looked disjointed and unable to link up with the defensive midfield.

          The only players to have appeared to be on form are Khedira, Lahm (as ever) and, bizarrely, Schürrle, who won't start, but may well come on for Podolski as a second half impact substitute.

          But then again, like Italy, Germany have historically performed better in tournaments if the preparation hasn't gone to plan. The mental state of the Bayern block after the traumas of the end of the season will be pivotal, I reckon.

        Think I probably will end up sticking with it. Just seems a tad defeatist to be happy with 3points for a player, but for a keeper its not as bad I suppose.

        Other quandary is stick with Kerzhakovs 5x2 as captain or give it to Affelay/Ozil or Sneijder.

    Keeper replacement for £5m?

    Cech 5.0m - Have Kadlec already and Czech Rep hardly look the strongest at the back.
    Melafeev 5.0m - Preferred option but worried about Akinfeev regaining his place after injury.
    Tyton 4.0m - Next game is vs Russia and Szczesny may be back in goal for matchday 3.
    Given 4.5m - Meh
    Chalkias 4.0m - not sure.. Poland might have been the easiest game in their group.

    Any other suggestions? Almost find myself wanting to hold fire for the news that a first choice GK from one of the bigger teams gets injured!

    Asked earlier but not much feedback presuming I made 11 transfers now 1 free and 10 at a 30pt hit didn't press wildcard till the last day, I wouldn't lose the 30 points I presume. Would love to see my opponents faces when I'm on - points, or would this not be the case would the points be deducted the following round if I didn't press wildcard, in which case might as well just press it before making the transfers, hope this is clear for people to understand what I mean

    Before you decide to stick or twist, try doing a little maths rather just a gut instinct. For example...

    You have Shirokov and wonder whether to get RVP instead.

    Let's say RVP get two goals

    Shrokov capt 8x2 = 16 + 10 for RVP = 26
    RVP capt 10 x2 + 8 for Shirokov = 28

    So even if RVP scores twice you only gain 2pts, if he gets booked as he often does you gain nothing. So really you are gambling that RVP will get a min of two goals and doesn't get booked.

    Think I'll stick 😎

      yeah im pretty content with the 16, if only he'd picked up a clean sheet as well, then it would have been an definite stick.

      All those doing Shirokov(c) --> RVP(c) are nuts or just playing for laughs. This isn't RVP, Arsenal and the PL you know! Huntelaar, Sneijder, Robben, etc. could all get a piece of the action instead.

      And before anyone mentions N. Ireland. Seriously?
