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.
Curate's egg. Like most of it. 🙂
Which parts you don't like? 😉 (except Giaccherini - he is my punt!)
Juanfran and Morata. But that's just me. 🙂
Oh, and Almer may cause you grief.As in you don't think they are nailed or you don't rate them as Fantasy Options?
Re Almer : I'm not sure I follow. 😮Özcan has played a lot for a second stringer ...
is there a way of changing your team name on the euros game? I can't seem to find where you do that
Don't think so.
No unfortunately. I'm stuck with 'Enter your team name'.
😆
*REPOST*
Who should my last 2 subs be..
Sommer
Juanfran Howedes Rami
KDB Gotze Payet Sigurdsson
Muller Giroud Nolito
(Patricio, Guerriero, ???, ???)
10.5m left
A. Dier and Stanciu
B. Ciman and Junuzovic
C. Denayer and Mak
Captaining a player against your own country. Pragmatic or treasonous?
Intelligent cos its a win-win situation. 😉
Captain Success = Win
Captain Fail = Win
😀This is the logic I think I'll go with.
You can always change captain unless the last day so go for it.
Treason! Supporting your country is objective number 1. Don't let fantasy intrude! Only player I'm picking from England's group (other than England) is Kozakic as a back up keeper.
Your shot at a top goalscorer bet for EURO 2016?
Mandzukic at 35/1 worth a punt?
Rui Patricio, Kozacik
Juanfran, Hector, Rami, Schar, Strinic
KDB, Ozil, Perisic, Matuidi, Alaba
Muller, Giroud, Nolito
I'm guessing this is template (haven't been here for a few days).
Tempted by Payet, but it would mean finding £1mil from somewhere (probably midfield) to fund Matuidi > Payet.
Thoughts/Advice?Also not 100% sold on Nolito, would maybe prefer another 8.5 there such as Morata/Kane, but not sure if it's worth downgrading elsewhere. Nolito is a good enabler I guess.
Template, but strong. Keep Nolito.
Final team - thoughts?
Subasic/Patricio
Hector/Rami/Rodriquez/dragovic/Guerreiro (knowing he might not play)
Draxler/Perisic/Junuzovic/Payet/Forsberg
Lewa/Giroud/Muller
Alternative would be morata/Gotze/schar instead of Lewa/Draxler/Rodriguez
Thoughts appreciated.
Also is it a risk having three attacking players from Poland and Germany given that it reduces a captain and that they play each other.
Rate/Hate
Patricio | Kozakic
Alba | Hector | Rami | Giaccerini | Denayer
Ozil | Fabregas | Perisic | Ramsey | Stanciu
Muller | Giroud (C) | Morata
Hinteregger nailed on ?
Pogba selected by 46% of players. Am I missing something here? Is it just the fact he's a very good footballer rather than a very good fantasy prospect that's got him to be the most selected player?
yep, plenty of casual players.
He is awesome
Cue a hattie in the opening game.
name value, his goal/asssit record for france is poor
Any improvements on this team?
Sommer (Patricio)
Juanfran Ramos Giaccherrini (Guerrerro) (Denayer)
Matuidi Perisic Pogba Ozil (Draxler)
Griezmann Muller Nolito
Piotr Zieliński
his he nailed for Poland?
Is Randolph the first GK for Ireland ?
right now he is it seems
Will this do?
Patricio (Jónsson)
Bruno Alves, Hector, Barzagli, Koscielny (McNair)
David Silva, KDB, Nani (Stanciu, Sterling)
Lewandowski, Giroud, Müller
Cheers!midfield needs work
don't like silva, nani or sterlingAgreed. Any other suggestions?
lot of choice for that price, germany mid, maybe a polish mid in there too - blasczkowski is one I have heard is quite good if grosicki is out
Sterling, Silva and Nani is now out. Blaszkowski is now in, Özil or Kroos?
Perisic, Mak, Konoplyanka, Fabregas, Alaba, Payet, Calhanoglu, Junuzovic seem to be popular choices.
It's different i like that.. explosive potential in the mid too
This is why it is a pointless exercise posting a team remotely different form those who are unable to pick a team off their own back mate.. you have people dissing them and suggesting template picks as has happened above..
Is Nolito even nailed on?
no
He'll start the first game and it's his place to lose. Competition is not very strong (Pedro) so cheap enough to take a punt, good enabler.
Best 6-6.5m mid?
Junuzovic? Alli? Mak?I have Junozovic, though that's as much because of when he plays. Wouldn't go for Alli though.
A doubt on the substitution thingie.
Does the player we want to sub in, NOT have played yet when we do? I maybe under the wrong impression I'll do all my subs before the last game-day. 😳You can't sub in someone who has already played
If all 4 play on the last day then it's easy. All you have to do is change captain if needed.
Thanks King and TM.....
No worries mate
I have 2 questions. Maybe you can help:
1. Lichtsteiner or Schar? Both can score goals.
2. Fabregas, Alaba or Junuzuvic?
Thanks.1. Schär has matched Lichtsteiner's attacking returns in 20 games compared to the latter's 80.
2. Personal preference.
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.
Thoughts? 🙂
Great team, not too sure about those players being differentials. Some of the highest ownership players in the game there.
Differential lol
decent side though
Comments pls
Sommer - Patricio
Dier - Rami - Juanfran - Hector - Denayer
KDB - Junuzovic - Payet - Fabregas - Stanciu
Muller - Giroud - Kanedenayer, fabregas, payet are not nailed which is slight worry
Wouldn't go with Kane, don't trust England/Hodgson. Other than that I have no objections.
ok, so the France situation is doing my head in....
Im finding it hard to call, in a 433 with Payet, Pogba, Matuidi, Giroud, griezmann, kante, Martial, Diarra, who initially loses out?
Can we presume either Kante or Diarra have to play otherwise its just too attacking. What do you think?
I have seen Pogba playing Very slightly sitting back before, what do you all think? like i said my head is spinning!
SO... your french 'front six' ? what would it be?Diarra is injured. Kante, Pogba, Matuidi, Payet, Griezmann, Giroud for the first game most likely.
--------------------- Kante
------ Pogba ------------------ Matuidi
---- Griezmann - Giroud ----- PayetDiarra dropped from the whole squad already because of an injury. Martial and Payet battle it for the LW, the others will start.
See the lineup above, it looks like it's going to be that.
Guys. Thoughts on Guerrero. Will he start over Eliseu ?
possibly
Sorry to be so drong, but who is this Mak guy everyone seems to have?
Mark Morrison.. He has returned 🙂
Paddy Maknair
Thanks. Was starting to think id never get a serious answer
Rui Patricio / some 4,5 GK
Dier, Hector, Rami, Bonucci, Denayer
Alaba, Alli, Fabregas, Matuidi, KDB
Giroud, Kane, Muller
Just made this team, how would you rate from 1-10 ?6.5
6
Doubts over starting place of Denayer, Alli and fabregas. Not convinced on Matuidi6
Oh and someone help a guy out 🙂
Previous post top of page has no feedback 🙁First Euro RMT
Kozacik, Rui Patricio
Juanfran, Rami, Giaccherini, Dragovic, Guerreiro
Ozil, Perisic, Błaszczykowski, Siggy, Alaba
Muller, Giroud, Kane
So can u change your captain daily?
yes if they have failed.
So effectively you could change your captain 5 times in a week ( per Matchday ) but it will be the last one you choose to get the double points
Can someone outline the rules for subs and captains etc for the Mcdonalds Uefa game? is it like FPL where you pick one starting 11 and captain per match week and make subs for the next match week or can you change players during the match day itself?
Cheers ladsRead the rules about substitutions.
Leicester wanting Deeney to replace Vardy - inspired or insane?
Grosicki seems fit and will probably train today. I'd say he's about 80% to start against Germany, maybe 85%
8 years, 11 days agoSommer / Almer
Alba / Juanfran / Hector / Giaccherini / Guerreiro
Götze / Perisic / Junuzović / Mak / Stanciu
Müller / Giroud / Morata
1m ITB to deal with Giaccherini/Guerreiro in GW 2 if required.
