After rolling out the first instalment of our two-part series of members’ articles covering the last four friendlies, we cast an eye over another batch of standout performers. The Belgium and France midfields come under analysis after some stellar recent displays, whilst we also assess a number of in-form forwards ahead of tonight’s opening match of Euro 2016.

    Sommer
    Howedes - Alba - Schar [2] (Dragovic) (Guerreiro)
    Fabregas - Perisic - Matuidi - Payet (Junuzovic[5])
    Muller [3] - Morata [4] - Giroud [1]
    a) Alba > Juanfran, allows Matuidi > Ozil/Siggy/Turan
    b) Morata > Mandzukic, allows Matuidi > Hamsik/Calhanoglou/Schurrle
    c) Matuidi > Kroos/Alli
    d) All in for France

        I'm a click away from both Sigmeister and Cr7.

    NANDOS3000 Fantasy Football Scout Member
    Gotze and Nolito

    Or

    Ozil and Milik

    Mak and Muller ??

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks.

        With that in mind my team would be:

        Sommer Patricio
        Rami Hector Rodriguez Pepe Pisczek
        Forsberg Dzemali Mak Alaba Perisic
        Ronaldo Giroud Muller

        Possibly drop Pisczek for Juanfran

        1. matty_b_OAFC
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Like it. Similar to mine but you have ronaldo and I have stronger mids.

          Hoping I don't miss out too much by not having ronaldo

          1. nandos3000
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks for the reassurance ha!

            I do worry that the mid is too light but personally can't see the value among the higher priced mids.

            Plus I'm Portuguese so have to have CR7!

            Best of luck to you !

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years

          Claude Makelele

  8. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Almost there, final three spots to fill...

    a) Hector, Matuidi & Kane/Morata
    b) Howedes, KDB & Nolito

    1. @FPLMason
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. nandos3000

      A with a dice roll between Kane and Morata

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is howdes even nailed. I've seen a few sites with mustafi starting over him

      1. faver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        95% i would say

  9. Stuberry
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Denayer or Ciman to start?

    1. El Patron
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think it´s Ciman. Wilmots announced his lineup few days ago.

      1. pundit of punts

        This is news to me.

        Link please.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          He's talking nonsense

  10. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can anyone tell me if the scoring is going to be like the World Cup McDonalds game where Defenders were mopping up points and everyone was captaining Mascherano?

    1. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No points for recoveries this time round. It's more or less FPL scoring but without the bonus points.

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ahh that's good. Cheers

    2. Donkey_Sanctuary
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No as point scoring is very similar to FPL

    Looks like Bet365 are doing the in play offer for England-Russia, anyone got any decent bets lined up?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Btts I reckon. Not sure of odds

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Seems like a likely scenario (Roy's tactics not withstanding)

    2. Donkey_Sanctuary
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Bet £50 on over 0.5 goals before the game and then lay it with a no first goal scorer at another bookie

      Probably put £50 in play on something like Kane first goal scorer or Smalling any time goal scorer.

      I usually do this offer with 2 other mates and then we split any winnings equally between the 3 so it allows us to go for some longer odds selections

  12. Sune
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    So, my last crucial decision:

    A) Rami, Rodríguez(c?), Hamsik(c?)
    B) Koscielny, Schär(c?), Mak(c?)

    What do you think?

    1. @FPLMason
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. El Patron
      • 10 Years

      A

    4. matty_b_OAFC

      A

    5. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rami Schar Hamsik

    6. Sune
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cheers guys 🙂

  13. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Choose one:
    A) Hector + Schar + Juanfran + Fabregas + Morata
    B) Howedes + Guerreiro + Dier + Mak + Ronaldo
    C) Howedes + Kadlec/Gonul + Denayer + Mak + Ronaldo

    1. nandos3000
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B for me

  14. the grinder
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What's the best 5.0 Midfielder option?

    1. roscola
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      There really isn't one. Options worth owning start at 5.5 (Stanciu and Forsberg). Find the cash for one of them or better.

      1. the grinder
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        What about Xhaka

        1. GreenWindmill
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Well he'll get appearance points but I wouldn't expect much else.

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Ah, just seen the rabbit's comments below - now I have no idea if he'll even get appearance points...

            1. chiiswaerch
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Taulent Xhaka will be in the starting 11 in the Albanian Team.
              Granit Xhaka will be in the starting 11 in the Swiss Team.

              Both not really attacking though.

        2. faver
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Which one, brother or the other brother?

        3. roscola
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          That's not Granit Xhaka who just signed for Arsenal but Taulent Xhaka who has never scored an international goal.

  15. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) Payet and Nolito
    B) Dzemaili and Giroud

    1. nandos3000
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Dze and Grod

  16. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How would you improve this team?

    Sommer
    Rami Djourou Giaccherini
    Payet Perisic Mak Stanciu
    Muller Giroud Ronaldo

    Rui P Alaba Juanfran Guerrero

    0.5 left

    1. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      gtg srsly

  17. Crab Bap
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Guerreiro - how nailed??

    Italy defender or second French defender?

    Rami - how nailed??

    1. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      51% nailed on I would say. But worth the risk I think 🙂

      Rami - hard to say. But you will know tonight before the lineups

      1. Crab Bap
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Are there better 4 to 4.5m options?
        What time are lineups out?

  18. Thomass
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How's this team?! Am I g2g?!
    Lloris
    Azpi Hector Rami Schar
    Hazard Xhaka(2) Ozil
    Giroud(1) Kane Muller(3)
    Subs: Sommer, Sanches, Alli, Stones

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      🙄

    2. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Azpi unlikely to start go for Juanfran.. Hazard is an excellent pick and a bit of a differential.. don't see any appeal in Xhaka

    3. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Azpi, Sanches, Alli, Stones... are risks. Some more than others, I would not punt on all of them,

  19. La Vida Latte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What happened!? I put in Nolito instead of Lewandowski and I am still happy with my team. But I have 4.5m to splash. Any suggestions?

    Sommer - Babacan
    Chiriches - Alba - Hector - Guerreiro - Ingason
    Hamsik - Perisic - Matudi - Alaba - Stanciu
    Giroud - Müller - Nolito

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well if your happy i guess yo could do Stanciu to KDB?

      1. La Vida Latte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I have been thinking I don´t want to own anything from Swedens group (since I am swedish, and it destroys the happiness to hope the opposing players to score) But I could have KDB I guess, since he plays the last match (3 gw) against sweden. I could always transfer him out before the game. Thanks for the idea! 🙂

    Hopefully my final draft.

    Sommer
    Rami Hector Alba
    Stanciu Goetze Perisic Mak
    Giroud(c) Muller Morata

    Almer ; Juanfran Junuzovic Guerriero

    1m ITB

  22. geese01

    Guerreiro or Fonte more likely ?

  23. Benzemabob
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    interested in everyone's thoughts of Perisic vs Alaba?

    1. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      perisic for me

    2. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      More threathing at front, as someone said, forward coded as midfielder. Alaba can go further into tournament, on set pieces, less of a goal threat, but can put some assissts

        It would also help if they spent two minutes reading the rules rather than having it fed to them.

  25. A-S-H
    • 10 Years

    Can someone explain the manager substitution and captaincy rules. Quite confused. Does this mean it is captaining a French player and then passing it on if he fails

    Anyone fancy Hazard for player of the tournament? 16/1 looks very tempting to me?!

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not a bad shout

      1. Louis123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Just have a feeling he might turn it on for this one. Look good towards the end of the season, competitive group etc

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yep he finished the season looking like the Hazard of old for sure have you a link to the odds?
