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.

  4. adstomko
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Lewandowski or Ronaldo?
    If selecting Ronaldo, Milik looks like a good shout too?

    1. Jbuckl1878
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I had the same dilemma
      Lewi 13 goals in quals v Nir
      Ron 6 in 5 v ice
      Lewi for me then bank .5 for the tx gw 2

      1. adstomko
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Good shout. I don't think Lewandowski will score again vs Germany, Boateng will be glued to him. However, Iceland have conceded a lot of goals in the qualifiers and friendlies

  5. Jbuckl1878
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Hamsik or Perisic?

    Slovakia have Wales first,
    both teams will be going hard for the win and Croatias group is tough

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Perisic just. But I have both.

      1. Jbuckl1878
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Think he'll deliver v the Turks?

    2. Foreside
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I have Perisic and cover Slovak with Mak

    3. Play Pal
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Perisic

  6. RealSocialDads

    Got lost on last page.

    Janko or Milik?

    Patricio / Kozacik

    Djourou / Rami / Howedes / Dragovich / Guerreiro

    Mak / Matuidi / Stanciu / Ozil / Perisic

    Lewandowski / Giroud / Ronaldo

    Suggestions about this team ??

    1. Foreside
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Should be a strong start.. good luck 😀

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Wouldn't go for stanciu vs france as a one week punt

  10. Ajax Down Trees
    • 16 Years

    Quick RMT?

    Kozacik-Patricio
    Hector-Juanfran-Rodriguez-Rami-Guerreiro
    De Bruyne-Perisic-Ozil-Alaba-Junuzovic
    Muller-Giroud-Nolito

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

      Good team but I wouldn't double up on Alaba and Junu as Austria play Portugal in GW 2 unless you are 100% sure that you will WC after GW 1

      1. Ajax Down Trees
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        hmm, Matuidi or Fab could replace Alaba....

        1. Odikostar
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Matuidi imo

          1. Ajax Down Trees
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            Or even Alli hmmm

  11. Play Pal
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Help me out with a quick Yes or No!

    Am I ready to go?

    Sommer Patricio
    Denayer Chiriches Dragovic Juanfran Dier
    De Bruyne Konoplyanka Perisic Stanciu Sigurdsson
    Muller Giroud Milik

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Siggy -> Hamsik, Sommer -> Kozacik and Milik -> Morata/Kane and you're ready to go 😉

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Is it fair to give personal preferences as advice ? . Siggy , Sommer and Milik are good picks and let's face it they could easily out score your picks . Just using this as an example .

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          The whole darned thing is personal preference 😛

          My rationale:
          No Grosicki for Poland and he's quite influential, from everything I've seen and read.
          Siggy is a gem but that group is tough for Iceland.
          Sommer is the better pick but downgrading him affords other improvements.

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            I always wonder if I am leading people back towards a template that is ultimately doomed to failure .

        2. Odikostar
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          What else is there to give?

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            you could leave it alone if it makes sense in the first place .

      2. Play Pal
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        That leaves me with no one except Dragovic to captain on the final day if everything falls through, would you still advise those moves?

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Oh, fair point. As you were 🙂

      3. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        I like these changes. I don't particularly like Denayer & Chiriches though.

    2. Foreside
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Yes

  12. Sweden11
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    A) Dragovic, Alli, Payet
    B) Guerreiro, Forsberg, KDB
    C) Juanfran, Forsberg, Payet

  13. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Had Rakitic since first draft but starting to think I'm on the wrong man?

    Also got Long as third striker to sub in for any fails in my five man midfield but thinking Nolito might be the better man for the job?

    Whenever I make a late change instead of sticking with my gut I get punished!

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I'd have Perisic and Nolito.

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Despite the marvellous Long grav.

    2. ronty
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Perisic..goal threat is way too much to be ignored

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Split the difference, Perisic and Long. I really fancy Ireland vs Sweden.

  14. El Copo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    RMT. Please?

    Sommer Patricio
    Denayer Juanfran Dier Rami Strinic
    De Bruyne Perisic Matuidi Fabregas Alaba
    Muller Giroud Kane

    Could swap Kane for Nolito and bring in Ozil

  15. fenixri
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    When can we expect line ups for todays match?

    Also what is with Morata? Seems he is too risky... maybe Kane/Milik instead?

  16. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Greaseman or Giroud?

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Giroud

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Giroud and use what you save elsewhere

    3. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Giroud + 1.5

    4. Vasily
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Griezmann for sure for me. More expensive but much more quality

  17. mikess
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    On average my team has just over 8% ownership. Differential overall, quite standard on here

  18. Lucy.
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Glamour poll!

    Strinic or Guerreiro - both are risks to start, both are 4.0.

    Guerreiro is the more interesting pick with a higher points ceiling but can't be subbed if he doesn't play. Croatia play earlier on so I could deal with a blank but a CS is less likely, as is an attacking return.

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

      I have Guerreiro in my team. Worth the risk IMO. Even if he does not start , max I will lose 2 points. And if he does start , as you say , a much higher point ceiling. 🙂

    2. Meimei
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      G

    3. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Wait, are you not getting autosubs if players don't play?

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        I don't think so, if there's no one left to play.

  19. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    I think I'm set with this team:

    Sommer
    Lichtsteiner Rose Kos
    Payet Hamsik VolkanSen Hazard
    Kane Cr7 Gru

    RuiPatricio VolkanSen Strinic Motta

    1. England's Number 1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Are there 2 Volkan Sens?

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Gonul*

        Should be on the bench

        1. England's Number 1
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Seen worse Ronaldo teams. Should score well.

    2. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Motta is a bad pick imo. He never scores

  20. Always (C)ane
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    A. CR7 + Fabregas + Stanciu

    or

    B. Morata + Payet + Hamsik + 0.5

    1. Foreside
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      B

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      A

  21. MemphisDepay7
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Sommer - Patricio
    Dier - Lichtsteiner - Rodriguez - Rami - Denayer
    Perisic - Payet - Alli - Alaba - Sanches
    Bale - Giroud - Lewandowski

    Good to go?

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

      Sanches not likely to start . Denayer a risk as well.

      1. MemphisDepay7
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Yeah thought so, just changed them for Guierrero and Wernbloom.

  22. fenixri
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Final RMT please

    Kozalčik/ Rui

    Juanfran - Kosc - Schar - Dragovic - Guerrero

    Ozil - Hamšik - Perišić - Payet - Junuzović

    Giroud - Muller - Milik

    Possible swap depending on starting lineups today Payet -> Matuidi; Milik -> Morata

    Ready to go?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I'd get Alaba over junuzovic

      1. Meimei
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Where would you get 0.5...

    2. Meimei
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Solid !

  23. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    A) Alba, Rodriguez, 4.5 def
    B) Lichsteiner, Alba, dragovic

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      So it's just:

      Rodriguez and 4.5
      or
      Lichsteiner and Dragovic

      I'd have Schar and Dragovic 😛

  24. Cujo Jr.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Is Strinic and Denayer nailed?

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Both are risks, Strinic more so.

  25. JJO
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Why is almost everyone here going with Stanciu?
    I cant see Romania scoring more than 2 goals in this tournement?
    (watch them beat Fra tonight 4-2 ;))

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

      Watch him play. He is a wonderful player.

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Im not saying he is not good,just cant see him scoring any points

    2. Latchmere Wave Machine
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Punt, I've got a 500/1 e/w on him to get golden boot :s but I've taken him out my team for canoghlu...

  28. @FPLMason
    • 14 Years

    Does Cedric have any competition at RB for Portugal? All I see among their defenders is CBs and LBs...

    1. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Vieirinha

    2. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Yes. Vieirinha. And it's pretty 50/50.

  29. nandos3000

    Hopefully the final team

    Patricio Sommer

      A but Kosc -> Rami, which will give you 1M to spend elsewhere
