Gareth Bale is afforded a sub role off the bench as Wales lose 3-0 to Sweden. Romelu Lukaku nets again as Belgium come from behind to get the better of Norway, whilst Burak Yilmaz celebrates his return to the Turkey first XI by notching the winner against Slovenia.

Sweden 3 Wales 0

Mikael Lustig grabbed a goal and assist as Sweden chalked up a first win in four attempts with a 3-0 home victory over Wales.

At a price of 5.0 in Uefa, the right-back – who produced more efforts in the box than any team-mate – is easier on the budget than fellow defenders Martin Olsson and Andreas Granqvist, at 5.5 apiece. The Swedes have now conceded just once in the last three, though frustratingly for Fantasy managers, the 4.0-priced Viktor Nilsson Lindelof’s run of three straight starts came to an end after a recall for Erik Johansson saw him drop to the bench.

In midfield, Emil Forsberg looks to have cemented the role on the left of a 4-4-2. The 5.0-priced winger – who has started each of the last three – found the net and delivered three key passes, more than any home player.

Rested for the goalless draw against Slovenia last week, Zlatan Ibrahimovic supplied the assist for Forsberg’s opener before being replaced around the hour-mark, whilst John Guidetti (6.5) emerged from the bench to finish the scoring. Despite his strike, Guidetti seems unlikely to oust Marcus Berg (7.0) as Ibrahimovic’s partner up front.

It’s three defeats and a draw in four now for Chris Coleman’s side, who are showing few signs of form ahead of the tournament.

Gareth Bale was afforded a brief run out as a second-half sub due to his Champions League exertions with Real Madrid. Despite being on the pitch for just 26 minutes, Bale still produced four attempts on goal – more than any Wales player, with Aaron Ramsey (three) next in line. Having played a part in nine of his side’s 11 goals over qualifying, thanks to seven goals and two assists, the former Spurs man’s influence on Coleman’s attack is more than apparent and has earned him 11% ownership in Uefa.

At the back, James Chester continues to look an assured pick and is the cheapest on offer at 4.5. With one clean sheet (against Andorra) in seven, though, there’s very little faith in the Wales defence at this point.

Sweden XI: Isaksson (Olsen 46); Lustig, Johansson, Granqvist, Olsson (Augustinsson 46); Larsson, Kallstrom, Lewicki (Ekdal 61), Forsberg (Durmaz 61); Berg (Guidetti 76), Ibrahimovic (Kujovic 61)

Wales XI: Hennessey (Ward 46); Chester (Collins 64), A Williams, Davies; Gunter, King (Bale 64), Vaughan (Edwards 64), Taylor; Ramsey, J Williams (Huws 74); Vokes (Church 73)

Belgium 3 Norway 2

Belgium came from behind to overcome a stubborn Norway outfit 3-2 in Brussels.

Romelu Lukaku produced four attempts and was in the goals again – the Everton frontman has now scored in four successive matches, yet is owned by just 9% of Uefa managers so far.

Eden Hazard and substitute Laurent Ciman also found the net, whilst Kevin de Bruyne and Toby Alderweireld were attributed with assists. Once again, De Bruyne was the creative lynchpin for Marc Wilmots’ side and produced six key passes – at least twice the number of any team-mate. He has now created 19 chances in his last two appearances and is owned by 16% of Uefa managers, more than any team-mate.

Wilmots lined up with two 4.5-priced full-backs yesterday. The Red Devils boss switched Jason Denayer from centre-half onto the right, whilst Jordan Lukaku was stationed on the opposite side of defence after Thomas Vermaelen missed out with a muscle strain. Lukaku created a trio of chances and has also earned a couple of assists in recent friendlies – if Vermaelen fails to recover, he could be a real under the radar option. A run of seven matches without a shut-out suggests Wilmots’ side may continue to struggle in the absence of Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Lombaerts.

Belgium XI: Courtois; Denayer (Ciman 73), Alderweireld, Vertonghen, J Lukaku; Witsel (Fellaini 57), Nainggolan; Mertens (Origi 80), De Bruyne, Hazard (Dembele 84); Lukaku

Slovenia 0 Turkey 1

It’s just one defeat in 16 matches now for Turkey after last night’s 1-0 win in Slovenia.

After proving his fitness with a sub appearance in the previous friendly, Burak Yilmaz returned to Fatih Terim’s starting XI and bagged the only goal of the match. Top scorer in qualifying with four strikes from eight appearances, the 8.0-priced frontman played for 90 minutes and looks to have cemented a starting berth for the tournament.

In the centre of the park, Hakan Calhanoglu earned the assist for Yilmaz’ strike before making way at the break. Priced at 7.5, the Bayer Leverkusen man is the most popular Turkey player in the Uefa game with 5% ownership and also scored against Austria and England in the three preceding matches.

Wide man Volkan Sen (5.5) had started three of the four prior to yesterday but was afforded just 45 minutes after the break as Terim opted for Oguzhan Ozyakup on the right wing instead.

Turkey have now served up back-to-back clean sheets after keeping out Montenegro last week. Caner Erkin and Mehmet Topal are the only two players to start each of the last three matches over the past fortnight in defence but, frustratingly, both are listed as midfielders in the Uefa game – this leaves keeper Volkan Babacan as the only viable, secure pick amongst Terim’s backline regulars.

Turkey XI: Babacan; Gonul, Topal, Balta, Erkin (Koygasi 64); Inan (Malli 83); Calhanoglu (Mor 46), Tufan, Ozyakup (Sen 46), Turan (Sahin 74); Yilmaz (Sahan 90)

Serbia 1 Russia 1

Russia roll up to the Euros on the back of a single win in five after registering a 1-1 draw against Serbia.

Lone striker Alan Dzyuba opened the scoring with just five minutes remaining thanks to an assist from Aleksandar Kokorin, who was again stationed on the right of a 4-2-3-1. Although he’s classified as a forward in the Uefa game, Kokorin (7.0) has scored or assisted in each of the last three matches and is cheaper than the 8.0-priced Dzyuba.

At the back, recent friendlies suggest that Igor Smolnikov and Vasili Berezutski, at 5.0 apiece, are the cheapest routes into Leonid Slutski’s defence. Russia were fairly resilient in qualifying, with five clean sheets in ten, but they’ve looked far less secure in recent matches and managed a single shut-out in five.

Russia XI: Akinfeev; Smolnikov (Shishkin 62), V Berezutski, Ignashevich, Schennikov (Torbinski 76); Shatov (Shirokov 75), Denisov (Glushakov 51), Golovin (Ivanov 60); Kokorin, Dzyuba, Smolov (Mamaev 46)

Czech Republic 1 South Korea 2

Czech Republic suffered a 2-1 home loss to South Korea in their final pre-Euro 2016 friendly yesterday afternoon.

The hosts managed more than double the number of attempts (15 to seven) than their visitors, though Pavel Vrba’s decision to make six substitutions in the second half meant that no Czech player produced more than two efforts on goal.

Having scored as a sub in each of the previous two, Tomas Necid (7.0 in Uefa) was handed the chance to lead the line but failed to impress and managed a single attempt on goal before making way on 79 minutes.

Central midfielder Vladimir Darida was the chief creator for the Czechs and served up four key passes without success. Setting you back 6.5 in Uefa, Darida was top for attempts on goal and second for chances created over the qualifiers.

Defender Marek Suchy netted the home side’s goal, with Jaroslav Plasil supplying the assist, though neither looks likely to find a way into the starting XI.

In the heart of defence, Vrba is clearly still undecided on his regulars – Tomas Sivok, Michal Kadlec and Roman Hubnik have all started two of the last three friendlies after the former two got the nod yesterday. Given that the Czechs have a single clean sheet in 22 matches, it’s fair to say that most will be giving their backline a wide berth anyway. Granted, yesterday’s result wasn’t helped by the dismissal of Theodor Gebre Selassie, though, with the left-back receiving his marching orders on the hour mark.

Czech Republic XI: Cech; Kaderabek (Limbersky (46), Sivok, Kadlec (Suchy 46), Gabre Selassie; Pavelka (Plasil 46), Darida; Sural (Skalak 46), Rosicky, Krejci (Pudil 71); Necid (Skoda 79)

    Any midfielders at 5/5.5 mil with good attacking threat? Or is it worth going 4.5 as 5th mid and spending the money elsewhere ?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years

      Not a fan of the cheap non playing 5th middfielder since you can do as many subs during a gw as you want. Stanciu from Romania and Mak from Slovakia are your best options, Mak is slighly more expensive at 6.0 though

        Okay thanks. Gearing my team to the first match day and then WC in MD2, so it won't be the whole group stage with a 4.5 mid if I do go that root

      You have Forsberg, Dzemaili and Stanciu at 5.5. All very good options imo

    What's the consensus on the Czech defence? Could be solid with Cech backing them up. Potential for defensive points against Turkey and Croatia?

    Kadlec is a penalty taker, but not nailed on. How likely is he to start?

    Gabre Selassie looks promising at 4.5 but is there competition for his berth?

      only qualified team to concede in every qualification match.. there you get your answer

      Petr Cech is way past it. Was awful for Arsenal last season and conceded really cheap goals in friendlies against Russia and South Korea.

                Yep those three goals really cost yous the league all the other mistakes by your back four are irrelevant.

              A goalkeepers performance can be assessed independently of the defence in front of him.

              His reactions have slowed, he's weak from crosses, he's made many mistakes (Zarate, Kouyate, Bolasie etc), and he can't kick a moving ball anywhere but out of the stadium.

                • 15 Years
                10 years, 6 days ago

                I think blaming a keeper with a poor defence in front of him is unfair which is what he was doing by calling him a dud. I was more annoyed by the silly dud remark than anything

                  Arsenal defence ain't poor though.

                    Arsenal defence is poor actually. Not in terms of the end result and CS, but in terms of the performance. Even in the CS matches, the defensive performance remains poor. The CS we get is in spite of our defence rather than because it. We never look assured and composed, but somehow eke out some CSs.

                    1. Camp No No
                      • 12 Years
                      10 years, 6 days ago

                      Performance poor based on what? Just saying that the performances are poor means nothing.

                      "Looking assured and composed" must be the new fashion in pretending to do analysis without making any intelligible point.

                      Arsenal had 2nd lowest xG against in the league, behind only Tottenham. That's how "poor" their defence was.

                      1. Eden Hazardous
                        • 11 Years
                        10 years, 6 days ago

                        And Cech restricted his opponents to 30 goals lower than their xGA tally....

                      2. Eden Hazardous
                        • 11 Years
                        10 years, 6 days ago

                        *30 goals , lower

                      3. Ziro Becomes One
                        • 11 Years
                        10 years, 6 days ago

                        If you go statistically then I cannot argue with you, I always like the broader, eye-test style of watching football rather than crunching numbers. And for me the defensive performances by us (not the results, mind you) are worse than Stoke, Leicester, even to an extent Watford. You can go ahead at laugh at me now. 😉 Only my opinion though.

                      4. Ziro Becomes One
                        • 11 Years
                        10 years, 6 days ago

                        Not at all saying I'll prefer those teams' defences, btw. Just an observation on the style of defensive 'assuredness', as I like to call it.

                      5. Camp No No
                        • 12 Years
                        10 years, 6 days ago

                        The "broader, eye-test style" = biased and unfounded opinion.

                        @EdenHazardous: I was first thinking what the f*** are you on when you had omitted that comma. Now, with the comma it is correct. However, you have to admit: it ain't spectacular. It is just a bit better than average.

                        But that's not where Arsenal lost the title. Their xG difference was by some margin the best, but they scored over 10 goals less than expected if my memory doesn't fail me. And the teams of this level should outscore their xG. Leicester and Tottenham wildly outscored their xG. So, Arsenal lost the title by poor finishing.

                        If I would point out one individual most responsible for failing Arsenal's title bid, it would be everybody's love affair Sanchez and his awful awful shooting. Instead of making videos of himself running on beach again this summer, he would do well to practice his shooting.

                        • 12 Years
                        10 years, 6 days ago

                        @EH: 31, though, not 30. I think Cech conceded 31 goals this season.

                      8. Camp No No
                        • 12 Years
                        10 years, 6 days ago

                        😆 Just when I blamed Sanchez, your footballfactman table has him outperforming his xG by 2-3 goals. Ok. Hadn't seen anything to that effect before. Maybe that's an effect of his late season goal rush, I haven't actually looked at these tables after the season finish, since it was no longer very interesting when the game was over a few rounds before the end of the season.

                        I'm basing my blame more on the autumn, when Arsenal was by far the best team in the league, but just couldn't finish all those fantastic chances they created, and Sanchez was one wasteful shooter.

                        But fair enough, in the long season, the average can be made by good periods and bad periods (of results). That end of the season stint, although maybe less important when the titles was already lost, should still be counted, so maybe Sanchez's finishing was just fine.

                        Which xG does that table use, btw?

                2. Wilshere Knowledge
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 6 days ago

                  Tbf, Arteta never said Cech was solely responsible, just that he himself was a bit rubbish, which I agree with.

                  It's certainly a fair point in response to someone thinking of buying Czech defensive assets on the basis of Cech being the keeper.

                  Dud is maybe too far, but understandable in terms of what was expected of him.

                10 years, 6 days ago

                I agree. But I've thought he's been pretty poor for the last few years, not just since joining Arsenal. In fact he's been very error prone all the way back to Euro 2008!

    10 years, 6 days ago

    So we can make substitutions during a GW? So the sensible thing in picking a starting 11 is to pick the players in your squad with the earliest fixtures? And can subs change the formation, i.e. you pick a 4-3-3 but end up with a 3-5-2 or whatever?

    1. sttewwizza
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Yes... subs can change the formation...

    2. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Exactly.

      Formation can change.

      I have currently have 4 players who play on day 5, so that's my bench. Doesn't make much difference which days the rest of my team play on, except that it's worth thinking about your captain options on each day.

          It's more expensive than mine if I decide to go without Lewandowski I am going to get KDB and have a cheaper defence but that is up to you.

            Any particular ones who will do well
            Or ones that are being picked which won't?
            I feel like spending a lot in defence

      Grosicki is looking like better value than Blaszchkowski check goals scored and assists in the qualifiers , No Muller looks like a miss to me considering his record at big tournaments , Having one playing keeper looks like a mistake to me when you can rotate your keepers you would be better served with the Patricio/Sommer combo because they play at opposite ends of the gw .

    Thoughts:
    A) Kroos & Denayer
    B) Mak & Hector

    Rest of team:
    Sommer, Patricio
    Juanfran, Rodriguez, Rami, Hinteregger
    Matuidi, Perisic, Fabregas, Stanchiu
    Muller, Lewy, Giroud

    1. Junior ⚽

        Sorry meant B

    2. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Definitely B - Kroos is a great player but not for fantasy whereas Hector is really attacking as a full back. Not a fan of Mak but Denayer was poor against Norway and Belgium rarely keep cleanies.

    Is Ronaldo not worth picking ? Haven't seen him in many teams

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Would be foolish not to have him, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. He was the first one on my team sheet.

  13. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    How come no one is talking about Lewandowski anymore?

    1. alfoir
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      He's the one player that hasn't moved from my team.

    2. jiGGidyJ1
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      For me, it was between him and Ronaldo, and the fact that Lewa and Muller play on the same day (unable to captain both) made me go with Ronaldo

    3. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      shhhhhh....

    4. TheSaint

      Milik for poland cover. Love Lewandowski but eats to much funds if u want Ronaldo aswell

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years

        Not in my team....got em both

    Hey guys,

    I've been trying to use this site since last season but finding it really hard to find useful tips, unless scrolling through the mass amounts of posts (is this is the best way) or is the best way to actually sign up for the season pass? anyway.. please can you rate my team?

    Sommer (Rui Patrico)
    Hector, Juanfran, Rami (Vertonghen, Denayer)
    Alli, KDB, Matuidi, Ozil (Renato Sanches)
    Morata, Giroud, Muller

    Thanks

    1. TheSaint
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Good team....question mark on Rami starting, but u can keep an eye on france starting 11 just before kick off. You will still have time to take him out if he doen't start.

    2. Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years

      Season pass doesn't make the a difference to the user-interface. The stats are lovely to look at though, even if they are nowhere essential.

    3. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Not Vert AND Denayer. Get Vert out for someone else. Also Sanches will be a super sub.

  15. Bambi
    • 14 Years

    Kozacik - Patricio
    Juanfran - Hector - Schar - Denayer - Dragovic
    Ozil - Payet - Perisic - Junuzovic - Mak
    Muller - Morata - Giroud

    .5 in the bank for gw1 transfer

    How does this look?

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Is Morata fit? And will Payet start? These are big question marks, everything else look fine....only no Polish cover for NIR GW1.

  16. TheSaint
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Rakitic v perisic.....rakitic is on set pieces. But I see most are going for perisic. Am I missing something?

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Pers on better form apparently

    2. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Goals vs assists

  17. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Is Djourou nailed? Currently on Schar and content with my defence but worried about my £9.0 pairing of Kozakic Kristinsson and would like to upgrade one to Rui Pat

    1. TheSaint
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      90% nailed

  18. Ayew Serious

  19. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years

    Thoughts on the Croatia defence?
    Srna 6.0 or strinic 4.0 options

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I like. Turkey, think they will score

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Strinic, price

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Will they keep cleans?

        1. Meinhoff
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          No.

        2. Yankee Toffee
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Maybe

        3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years

          I think there is a good chance though it is a hell of a group.

  20. Ayew Serious
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Do we get the French line up before the deadline?

    1. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Yes

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      supposedly

    3. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Yes

    4. Ziro Becomes One

    5. Ayew Serious

      Thanks all. So why is everyone worrying about Payet etc

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Just because...

      2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Perhaps cause it wont be a straight swap to someone else priced the same and they don't want the hassle with making a couple of last minute decisions? I know that would be my worrie.
        Though I'm on Matuidi or no one so I'm just speculating.

  21. Azzuri_Buddy
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Hey guys,
    who is nailed on swiss attack?
    Mehmedi?
    Embolo starting from the bench usually right?

  22. Taarabts2Good4U
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Perisic scored the most goals in qualifying for Croatia and he's continued scoring in recent friendlies, too. He's a cheaper option than both Rakitic and Modric.

  23. Jatz10
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Please rate my team :

    Rui Patricio ( Sommer)
    Rudiger, Rami, Eliseu (Dier) (Denayer)
    Perisic, Fabregas, Matuidi, Gotze (Alli)
    Kane, Giroud, Lewandowski

    0.5 ITB

    1. Jatz10
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Gone with Gotze, after seeing their last friendly. Looked lively as the false number 9, and got a point to prove.
      Hoping Fabregas also given that false number 9 role too.

      1. Taarabts2Good4U
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Gotze is a cheaper option than Ozil and more of a threat in terms of scoring goals. Ozil contributes with assists, though. I've gone for Gotze over Ozil.

  24. Meinhoff
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Any suggestions?

    Patricio - Kozacik
    Rami - Hector - Hinteregger - Juanfran - Lichtsteiner
    Perišić - Alli - Alaba - Fabregas - Forsberg
    Giroud - Muller - Ronaldo

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Not really, quite like it bar Alli and maybe Hinter.

      1. Meinhoff
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks. Yeah, I'm thinking Alaba -> Junuzovic, Alli -> Matuidi, but I would want some England cover

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          I would stick with the original team then.
          I really don't like the term coverage though.

  26. SpaceCadet

    Any nailed on Swiss mid worth considering?

    1. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I like Dzemaili at 5.5, nailed on, recently started playing behind the striker. Him or Forsberg will be my 5th mid

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Stanciu?

        1. Meinhoff
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Nah I dont think he'll do anything against France and Switzerland. But I plan to get him for their Albania game on my GW3 wildcard

      Garnit Xhaka nailed on for sure.
      I wonder who they have nailed on on the attack?

  27. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Which one to go for? (Consider price)

    A) Payet 8.0
    B) Konoplyanka 7.5
    C) Fabregas 7.0

    2. Jambot

    I don’t really know what I’m doing with internationals any advice/criticism would be greatly appreciated planning to wildcard after match day one when I’ve seen what’s going on.

    Sommer/Almer
    Rami/Rudiger/Srna/Juanfran/Lindelhof
    Alli/Grosicki/Matuidi/Perisic/Junuzovic
    Giroud/Lewandowski/Muller

    I am playing on another fantasy site than McDonald's, but the point structure is the same. On this site, you pick 11 players and can make 2 changes after each gameweek. What do you guys think about the following team?

    Giroud - Muller - Lewandowski
    Perisic - Arnautovic - Hamsik
    Koscielny - Dragovic - Schar - Rami
    Sommer

    All feedback is appreciated!

      like it, Same front 3 as me. Whats your plan if Payet doesnt start? who would you captain 2nd day if Giroud doesnt fire?

      1. le flem
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        lewa, and we'll see the french lineups before gwk locked, so would probably get perisic
