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.

      not sure of keepers but patricio seems to be a steal at 5m and either strinic, ciman, guerriero, lindelof all at 4m but question marks on game time..

  14. Bushman

    Any idea which Portuguese FBs will start? Every article is different.
    Also, are there any £4m 'keepers that start?
    Is Pogba likely to get goals and assists?

    Rui / any £4m
    Hector / Rami/Juanfran/Dragovic/Strinic
    Alaba/Pogba/Perisic/Mak/Zielinski
    Ronaldo/Lewandovski/Giroud

    Thoughts?

  15. JoaoMario15

    I beg some help here to close this, but i am stil ceptic about midfield:

    Sommer (Patricio)

    Hector Rami Schar (Cedric)

    Fabregas, Joao Mario, Kroos, Persivic (Gokan Gonul, Alaba)

    Giroud (c), Lewandowski, Muller

    1. JoaoMario15
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 days ago

      And by the way, what about...
      Giroud, Quaremas, Muller instead??

      Could use the extra money for the midfield....

    When is the best time to play the WC ?

  17. Pirlø's Pen
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 days ago

    Happy with my team and have most bases covered, except French defence. How badly will I suffer? Let's hope Romania pull it out the bag.

  18. JoHo17
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 days ago

    A or B?

    A) Ozil + Rafa Silva

    B) Draxler + Junuzovic

    How is the rest of my team?

    Sommer Patricio
    Rami Hector Juanfran Guerreiro Strinic
    De Bruyne Dzemalli Fabregas Ozil/Draxler R.Silva/Junuzovic
    Lewandowski Giroud Muller

  21. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 days ago

    Who would you pick?

    1.
    A. Koscielny - 11
    B. Rami - 10.5
    C. Sagna - 11
    D. Evra - 11

    2.
    1. Giroud - 11
    2. Griezmann - 11

  22. DoTheEuro

    RMT please: 1M ITB

    Hart (Kozacik)
    Boateng, Djourou, Guerreiro (Giaccherini, Wawrzyniak)
    KDB, Fabregas, Gotze, Matuidi (Perisic)
    Shaqiri, Nolito, Griezmann

    1. Flatliner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 days ago

      I like Nolito as cheap and could be star of the show, Not sure Fabergas will play in starting 11 and if so will be to far back. I am looking at loading up on Germans and French then a possible wild card after game 1 (Mcdonalds league)

  23. Flatliner
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 days ago

    Thoughts?

    De Gea

    Glik Howedes Bonnucci

    Alli Ozil payet progba

    Greizmann Muller Morata

    Subs : Mccovern Vermallean cedric J Williams

    A lot of faith in starting 11 with little support from the bench, Also 3 x French and 3 x German is a massive risk.

    Any thoughts?

    Okay till today my team sheet read as below
    Sommer-Patricio
    Rodriguez-Hector-Dier-Denayor-Dragovic
    Hakan-Draxler-Perisic-Mak-Siggy
    Lewa-Giroud-Kane

    but just now read somewhere that i would require some 4.0-5.0M player to balance out later in the tournament.

    So did these changes
    Sommer-Patricio
    Rodriguez-Hector-Dier-Rami-Dragovic
    Hakan-Perisic-Alaba-Ozil-Memushaj
    Lewa-Giroud-Morata

    A)Memushaj is 4.5M and according to FFS on pens for Albania and plays early.
    B)Is Morata nailed on?
    C)Should I confirm the second set of transfers? or Is the first set better?

    1. Flatliner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 days ago

      I think Morato is nailed on

  25. Red Reddington ⚽
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 days ago

    Who is fighting with Fab for a spot in Spain, why is he not nailed?

    1. Flatliner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 days ago

      This is the latest information i have for the Spain set up starting line up:

      Spain: De Gea; Juanfran, Piqué, Ramos, Alba; Busquets, Iniesta, Thiago; Silva, Nolito, Morata.

      It looks like there will be a changing of the guard in goal, with David de Gea replacing Iker Casillas. Nolito has shone in attack in the pre-EURO friendlies, scoring four goals in two games, and is set to lead the line alongside Álvaro Morata.

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 days ago

        Fabregas will play instead of Thiago imo and Morata is doubtful for the first game.

        Where does your information come from?

        1. Flatliner
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 days ago

          http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/news/newsid=2367418.html

          It is only a guide based on I presume pre season games and the qualifiers. Who actually plays is still a surprise as I am sure there will be some changes by managers.

          Why do you say Morata is doubtful???

    Do all 5 Captains in a Matchday get double points or only 1 ?

    1. Epic Fail

      The 1 you keep it on.

  27. Leegiles9
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    With the ability to substitute a player out if they don't perform,is it only once you can do this during a game week?

  28. ihateramsey2

    what's a good reason for not having Muller?
