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.
-
Mak or Hamsik?
-
Depends how you use the 1.5m
-
Who is more attacking/explosive?
-
Mak is on set pieces, Hamsik is the team's playmaker / talisman.
Not much in them in terms of returns, Hamsik would be slightly more explosive I reckon.-
Thanks

Cheapskate =P

Sure! Emailing you now 🙂

Why would anyone do this over the Internet with someone you've no idea about?
-
Would want to keep these things to friends really!
-
Why not? It's a community who are all familiar with each other/usernames over a long period of time.
I entered both Demi and AZ's cash leagues last season and got payout from both with no issue.
Worst comes to worst you lose your entry fee of £5/£10 whatever it is. Hardly the end of the world. -
My plan all along was to rob a few people of a tenner then never come to FFS or or go on the scoutcast again.
Rumbled ðŸ™-
I know you wouldn't do it, but in today's world I'd have thought people wouldn't risk it anyways. How do you plan on collecting the money? PayPal?
-
Yeah i know just teasing. Good advice really.
Paypal or bank transfer.

I had better give you my Lagos address, then. 😉

=D

Will email now..!
-
Hey team mate, you all set?
-
Yes.. Hope you are? I'm going very punty in attack and going triple Swizerland at the back for the first two games before WC. Hope you don't mind, and hope I don't affect the team! 😛
-
I don't mind. I feel this game especially is all about being punty in some way.
-
God no, do your thing!
I've gone slightly bonkers too. Spent 41m on keepers and defence. All 5 defenders got potential going forward.
Actually thinking about Captaining defenders and hop 1 gets CS + a forward returns, but not sure yet.

Hello, Swedish friends:)
-
Ahh.. Our 4th member. Hello! 🙂 Have to apologise, I haven't been very active the last week or so and didn't notice it had gone up to 4 or who else was on my team.
Let's win this! 😀-
Hello there!
You from Sweden?
(Since you spell it our way)-
Was meant for Lugozi.
-
Well... if you treat the Baltic Sea as a border I'm your neighbour from south. I wanted to call myself Tre Kronor but it is only for hockey, right ?
-
That it is!
-
-
-
-
I feel we will be better than the real Swedish team 🙂

-------------Sommer-------------
-Rami Giacherrini JuanFran-
Payet Stanciu Alli DeBruyne
-----Nolito Muller Ronaldo----
---------------------------------------
Patricio Alaba Dragovic Guerriero
Good to go?-
Rather giroud and perisic than KDB and nolito
-
Looks good but potentially too much risk in defence with Giacherini, Juanfran and Guerriero?
-
-
I see the Howdes in many teams now? Will he play?
-
*Howdes not 'the' Howdes haha
-
Definitely the first game and when Hummels comes back he might move to RB.
-
Very, very likely.
-
Just the first game. Hmm ok cheers
-
-
Ukraine will score anyway.. Wait and see imo
-
*Howedes 😉
-
-
How come there's a Stanciu wagon?
-
Cheap, enabling Mid.
-
Interesting, cheers both. Tough opening fixtures though.
-
sommer
Hector Juanfran Rami
Alli Fabregas Mak Götze
Giroud Zlatan Müller
Patricio, guerreiro, denayer, Alaba
Any final comments on this? everything is appreciated! -
I'm a little perplexed about Alli.
I had him in my team on day 1 but since then I"ve taken him out only to put him back in this week.
My issue is where is he going to play?
Surely Rooney will play no.10 with Kane or Vardy up front.
Is Alli going to be one of the midfield 3?
Dier will start as the holding mid leaving to 2 midfield spots for Wilshire, Milner, Lallana, Barkley, Henderson, Sterling and Alli???
There's been a lot of hype about Alli in the English press, I wonder is that clouding our collective judgements?
How do the English lads think England will setup with a balance formation with Rooney, Kane and Dier definitely starting...?-
I think he will start in no.10. I think it will either be a 4-4-2 diamond with Rooney and Kane up front or a 4-2-3-1 with Rooney on the left.
-
I just can't see Rooney not playing centrally TBH.
Maybe if Roy opts for the diamond then Rooney and Kane could be up top with Alli at the tip of the diamond but if he plays 4-3-3, where does Alii go? -
I agree. Alli has to play number 10. I think Hodgson will realise this.
-
-
I want Ali in my team, but if he's not playing just behind Kane/Vardy he's not worth it to me.
-
I'm a Scotsman, btw. So I'd like to think I'm not blinded/biased
-
On paper I think we all know Alli is perfect for no.10 but Rooney won't be dropped or be playing on the wing...
Will Alii play on the wing?
-
-
-
Alba and Howdes
or
Ramos and Hector?-
Former for me . 🙂
-
I like B.
-
50/50
-
B because both carry goal/assist threat, whereas for A you only have Alba who can score/assist
-
-
Cahill smalling nailed?
-
Don't see why not.
-
-
Rui P / Sommer
Hector / Juanfran / Rami / Dier / Guerriero
Alaba / Gotze / Hamsik / Payet / Fernandez
Giro / Morata / Muller
Any thoughts on my last min team? 1.5 to upgrade somewhere....
Thanks in advance!-
Fernandez the Switzerland mid? Don't think he'll play.
-
Juanfran to Jordi Alba
-
upgrade Fernandez.
-
-
Would u consider Shaqiri instead of Morata?
-
Absolutely, but you suspect Morata will go further and get more points.
-
-
Alaba or fabs lads?
Bit of a conundrum I'm sure you agree-
Alaba, cert of game time, on pens, good fixtures
-
Alaba.
Fab is a rotation risk with Alcantara. -
Alaba is a God and here's whyhttp://twitter.com/OurFootballorg/status/670647180810670080/video/1
-
Doh!
-
Some finish.. Shame it's the Austrian Alaba we're getting and not the Bayern Alaba..
-
-
-
Alaba.
-
Great stuff. Thanks lads
-
-
Gtg?
Sommer
Alba, kosc, schar
Make, kapustka, payet, perisic
Lewy, Muller, giroud(c)
4.0m fodder, Alaba, dragovic, Ciman -
Half expecting Giroud to give a good old fashioned epl troll tonight
-
Yep, along with Pogba and Griezmann combining for the goals ðŸ™
-
Yeah, he'll troll the non-owners

QUICK POLL
1. Order 7.5 Mid.
Here I go : Perisic > Kono > Hamsik > others
2. YES OR NO
Is Siggy better than your best 7.5 (for me Perisic) ? NO
Is Payet better than your best 7.5 ? NO
Is Ozil better than your best 7.5 ? YES-
No
Yes
No-
You agree with me regarding first part of the test ?
-
I don't know... 😀 tough to call.
-
No pressure ! What does your instinct tell you ?
-
-
-
-
Konoplyanka > Schurrle > Calhanoglu > Hamsik > Perisic > Mertens
No
Yes
No if you take price into consideration, yes otherwise -
Cheers
-
-
Really feel the need for Portugal attacking/midfield cover given their fixtures.....
Quaresma worth a punt? or stump up cash for Ronaldo?-
J Mario for me.
-
This, if any.
-
-
Joao Mario as a nice 5th mid? 🙂
-
if Quaresma was a mid, then yes. But hes not worth a spot in your forward line
-
Thanks all. Think I will go J Mario...just wanted someone with more goals in them, but that would mean forking out for Ronaldo
-
-
It's match day!
Sommer - Rui Patricio
Juanfran - Rami - Dier - Shar - Hector
Alaba - Payet - Hamsik - Ozil - Perisic
Shaqiri - Kane - Giroud
Most likely going to use my wildcard in the third round. Thoughts?-
Schar*
-
-
Thanks all. This is me to start with then:
Kozacik, Patricio
Hector, Juanfran, Schar, Rami, Guerreiro
Gotze, Perisic, Hamsik, Fabregas, Junuzovic
Muller, Giroud, Morata
Good luck to everyone. Thanks for your help. Hope I've been vaguely useful 😀-
Goodluck
-
Noice 🙂
Sure I can't tempt you? 😉
(Hector + Perisic -> Bonucci + Konoplyanka) 😀-
Noooope 🙂
-
I was expecting that! 😀
Best of luck so Lucy!
-
-
-
You sure about Guerreiro? Plays on the last day 😮 Could go wrong.
-
What could possibly go wrong? 😛 😉
-
Yeah I'd take the 1-2pt gamble. 🙂
-
-
Good luck, Lucy!!! 😀

HMS FFS Template leaving the dock....watch out for the iceberg off the coast of Portugal...
-
I'll take that as meant in good humour, even though it wasn't communicated in such a way.
-
-
-
GreenWindmill - is it me, or have all our stats gone? ðŸ™
-
S'OK. I've got them back. 😀
-
🙂
-
-
-
Lewandowski -> Milik really frees up a lot of cash. My midfield looks so much better without Lewa.
Is it worth it?-
- especially if you get Nolito instead! 😉
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/14353/-
Nolito isn´t even in your table if you look at the qualifiers. 😉
-
Friendlies. They are going to find it hard to shift him. 🙂
-
You think he is nailed then? I am not totally convinced
-
-
-
-
It depends on how ur mids change. I'm sticking with big boy lewy but milik could be a great shout.
-
I can do
Forsberg -> Pogba &
Alaba -> Iniesta or any other in that price range.-
Pogba isn't worth 8.5m when Matuidi gets forward more.
-
I can probably get Matudi too. 🙂
-
-
-
-
-
How would ya rate this team Chevra?
* Brackets = Subs
Sommer Patricio
Alba Koscielny Pique Rodriguez (Eliseu)
Kroos Payet Perisic (Rotan) (Memushaj)
Giroud Ronaldo Nolito-
Ur subs look weak
-
-
Hello all. Been a stalker on here for about a year, now. I play using the Goal Fantasy Football app. You get three subs a week so I can spread my choice of forwards quite broadly, as you can see. I would love to here some constructive criticism for my midfield and defence which I'm 90% happy with. Any thoughts? Hamsik instead of Siggy?
Lloris
Alaba / Soares / Rodriguez
Januzovic / Sigurdson / De Bruyne / Shaqiri
Giroud / Bale / Muller / Levan / Ronaldo / Ibra -
Do you think Fonte or Raphael Guerreiro will start for Portugal?
-
PErsonally, no. Although there's a good chance Guerreiro deos get minutes in the group stage.
-
-
Attacking threat per team in qualifying.... http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/14600/
-
A or B time folks!
A - Alaba and Alli
B - Junozovic and Matuidi
feel free to suggest others-
B
-
B. Feel it will be more attacking.
-
B
-
Get Payet for Mat instead
-
-
-
Just read an interview with Morata. 100% fit and seems very up for leading the line. Great news for owners!
-
😀
-
-
Bit of fun:
Player you wouldn't go without: Ronaldo
Player you want but can't afford: KDB

Favourite Differential: Konoplyanka (3%) -

-
-
Glik or Giaccherini lads?
Is the Italian defence as reliably stout as in recent years? -
Is Fabregas doubtful to start ? . Likely Spain team ?
-
A: Kane and Shaqiri
B: Muller and Nolito
Which option would you go with?-
B.
-
B muller is required
