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.

    Albania elimination after group stage at @ 0.35, good bet?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Easy £££ 😉

      1. OPTA FPL

        😀
        How about Hungary out @ 0.50 Jazz?

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Austria and Portugal SHOULD easily qualify and I even fancy Iceland over Hungry ...

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            Hungary*

          2. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            There is even available for that.

      2. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Just realize there're only 8 teams will be out atfer group stage though

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Oh yeah, forgot about that. 4 third placed teams will go through ...

    2. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Yes, although they may surprise.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        I didnt follow them in qualify round. Are they the weakest team at the tournament?

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Albania to be lowest scorers @ 6/1.

      Also may be worth checking http://digitalsport.co/carlsberg-to-allow-fans-to-vote-for-the-man-of-the-match-at-2016-euros

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years

        Already done the Albania bet!

      2. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        nice

  2. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Please could I kindly get your thoughts on this team please?

    Rui Patricio, Sommer
    Juanfran, Hector, Rami, Guerreiro, Denayer
    de Bruyne, Ozil, Alli, Perisic, Stanciu
    Giroud, Morata, Muller

    1. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I like it very much. Denayer would be my main concern.

  3. tm370
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Hi all - which of these looks better?

    A) Kozacik, Patricio
    Dier, Juanfran, Rami, Hinteregger, Strinic
    Ozil, Matuidi, Stanclu, Fabregas, Perisic
    Muller, Giroud and Ronaldo?

    B) Kozacik, Patricio
    SCHAR, Juanfran, Rami, Hinteregger, Strinic
    Ozil, Matuidi, DRAXLER,, PAYET, Perisic
    Muller, NOLITO and Ronaldo?

    And do they look sound in general?

    1. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      A

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      A of the two.

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        cheers guys - much appreciated.

        The second one is admittedly alot more punty.

  4. To Be Coutinho...
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Is there any Portuguese defender certain too start the first game other than Pepe?

    I think Cedric is certain, am i right?

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I'm not that sure. I think Vierinha could end up playing right back but I may be wrong. Rui Patricio is the safest route to Portuguese clean sheets.

      1. To Be Coutinho...
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Ya but i need an attacking defender from their team maybe guerrero or cedric.

  5. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Last question and I'm done:

    A) Juanfran + Calhanoglu
    B) Ramos + Mak

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I like A.

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Cool, that's what I'm on. Thanks!

  6. madeon
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Question about substitutions..

    Should i place the players playing first in my starting XI and leave the players playing last on the bench?

    Or the other way around?

    Right now I have the ones playing in the last day on the bench?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Bench the players who are playing last 🙂

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

        Thank you!
        Just wanted to be 100% sure 😉

    2. VS10_
      • 10 Years

      10 years, 2 days ago

      Perisic twice?

      Özil, Payet, Perisic (if you mean him)

    3. Owd Big 'Ed

    Final* RMT please:

    Sommer; Patricio
    Dier; Giaccherini; Howedes; Rami; Juanfran
    Mak; Matuidi; Perisic; Silva; Alaba
    Giroud; Muller; Shaqiri

    RP from DZ.

    Nobody replying to your RMT? Want a differential? Want to be the same as everyone else? Need comfort to know your pain will be shared? Struggling to know who to pick?

    We always talk about templates... so here’s the most selected players in each position by % owned in the game.

    Neuer 38% - De Gea 22%
    Ramos 31% - Boateng 31% - Koscielny 23% - Pepe 18% - Hummels 15%
    Pogba 46% - Alli 32% - Özil 26% - Payet 26% - Modrić 22%
    Müller 36% - Griezmann 34% - Ronaldo 29%

    Here’s an approximation of the FFS ‘template’... taken from the 1st 31 RMT’s on this article. (Number of teams with player on FFS)/% owned in game overall.

    Rui Patrício (24) 10% - Kozáčik – (18) 1%
    Rami (18) 2% – Juanfran (17) 9% – Dier (11) 10% – Dragović (11) 3% – Hector (11) 7%
    Perišić (22) 5% – Özil (14) 26% – Junuzović (12) 1% – KDB (12) 15% – Payet (11) 26%
    Müller (26) 36% – Giroud (21) 13% – Nolito (13) 4%

    All details correct at 3am this morning..

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I own 4 / 15 of the FFS template 😎

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        6/15 here 🙁 😉

        I don't own one defender of the FFS template, I'm proud to say. 🙂

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Same, I don't rate any of that back 7

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            I own Patricio, and you ought to rate him. 😉

            1. Irish Madridista ⭐
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 2 days ago

              If he didn't clash with Randolph I'd rate him 😉 hehe

              If Juanfran was nailed then I'd look at him again too.
              Hector will come in later in the tournament 🙂

          2. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 2 days ago

            Probably worth mentioning that the majority of RMTs on here don't belong to the top 1% of players, the veteran experts tend to keep their cards closer to their chest, unlike me 😀

      2. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        I was so happy when i only had 8 (essentially half a team)!

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Blimey. My team really is different. Thanks for this! 😀

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

      8/15 FFS

      1. Rossaldinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        7/15 FFS

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      6/15 FFS. Different enough!

    5. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Just FYI there wasn't a huge amount of difference on the FFS team numbers, they were picked between 12 Gk's, 28 Def,
      24 Mids and 11 Forwards.

    6. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Have 7 of the FFS template 🙂

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

    I have Mangala. Is Rami a better bet into French DEF for 5.0m?

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

      Yes, though you should be able to see line ups before deadline and amend. Though it depends on if the site crashes.

    2. Djemba-Djemba
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      seems like Rami will start. But check an hour before the game.

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Rami is likely to start ahead of Mangala.

    4. Dugout
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Thanks. Unfortunately I'll be driving in the middle of nowhere an hour before the game. Looks like Rami is better bet so I'll make the switch and hope!!

  12. Djemba-Djemba
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    I have Kane, but not sure anymore. Better options?

    Already have Muller and Giroud.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Nolito ot Morata seem to be the standard picks.

      1. Djemba-Djemba
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        I dont trust spain though...

    2. Murph1
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Morataaaaa

  13. Red Reddington ⚽
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

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

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Thiago / Koke

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Thiago, Koke

    3. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Alcantra?

    4. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I think he'll start in a midfield 3 of Iniesta-Busquets-Fab. Thiago is probably his main competition.

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

    My final attempt.. RMT please..

    Rui Patricio - Kozacic
    Juanfran - Hector - Rami - Strnic - Guerreiro
    Alli - Hazard - Perisic - Junuzovic - Stanciu
    Giroud - Muller - Ronaldo

    Cheers & good luck!

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Perfectly rational team.

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

    Assuming Giroud is your captain, and he gets a red card tonight will you stop playing ? Which means possibly negative points (x2 because he is captain ahah) and you can't change it nor pick another captain...
    I would hate myself so much and hate french squad even more

  16. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Need to drop one of Schar, RRod and Lichtsteiner.. All seem to have decent attacking potential, which to go?

    Also is Sommer 100% nailed on? Thought I read in the week he wasn't but seeing him in a lot of teams.

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Sommer will almost definitely play.

      Drop Lichtsteiner imo.. Or R.Rodriguez if you need the extra 0.5.

    2. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Lich. Sommer is number 1.

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Lich to go.

  17. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Stanciu over Forsberg?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Yep

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

      No, imo

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I think so.

    4. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Most say yes, i say no.

    5. MajesticWok
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Prefer Dzemalli

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

      I would have Forsberg is he was playing at right mid instead of left mid . At left mid he is up against Coleman at right mid he would have been up against Ward or Brady .

  18. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    A.) Double Spain defence & Payet

    or

    B.) Double France defence & Cesc

    ???

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I have A

    2. Louis123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Double Spain surely

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      A

    4. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      A.

  19. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    All done. Best of luck to all 🙂

    Hart (Rui Patricio)
    Juanfran, Koscielny, Hector (Denayer, Dragovic)
    Perisic, Dzemaili, Matuidi, Gotze (Junuzovic)
    Muller, Giroud (c), Morata

  20. Louis123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Morata or fabregas lads?

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Morata.

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

    A) Juanfran
    B) Rodriguez

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      A.

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

        Even though Rodriguez is on penalties and are playing Albania and Romania the two first games.

        1. Bun Rab
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 days ago

          Yep. Spain. Clean sheet machines.

  22. MajesticWok
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Anyone punting on Morata for the opener?

    1. Louis123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      It's between him or fab for me?! Morata could explode though

  23. tm370
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Guys - Am I right in saying we get 1 transfer per match day? So 5 to use at the end of the week? As that is what the rules suggest.

    1. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I think it's 1 between the first and second round of games, rather than 5.

    2. Christina.
      • 16 Years

      ...who is going to break his heart...?

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 days ago

        Thanks - I've read only one per gameweek on here but the 'matchday' stuff is confusing on the site as 5 days is not 'a day'.

    3. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Matchday = a whole round of fixtures
      Gameday = one day of games

  24. Mitos77
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    pick 3 midfield from:Ozil,Payet,Persic,Shaquiri,Hamsik

    is Guerreiro in first Portugal team?

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      Ozil, Payet, Perisic.

      No one is sure, Eliseu had the place but Guerriero has been playing well.

  25. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 days ago

    Lads, consider the next 2:

    A) Ramos + Alli

    or

    B) Hinteregger/Guerreiro + Konoplyanka (+ a juicy £1.0m ITB for Alaba > Siggy next week 😎 )

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

      A

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years

        Thank you, sir.

    2. Rossaldinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 days ago

      I have Guerreiro and Kono - upgraded from Alli - slightly nervous but as I have Kane I'm covered I hope!

    1. Morata or Nolito?
    2. Is Denayer likely to start? Best alternative?
    3. Stanciu or Januzovic?

      1) Dunno, I have Nolito only cos he seems like a bargain. I wouldn't pay £8.5m for Morata personally though.
      2) Ciman is his rival who currently has the edge, I reckon. Dunno, maybe Hinteregger or Strinic?
      3) Errr I prefer Stanciu 🙂

    FINAL CHECK!! 😀 😀

    Please ignore Schurrle as my punty punt. Twas him or Calhanoglu and I see André as more explosive..

    Babacan

      Double Turkey? You need a large Gönül for that ... "gobble, gobble"

      Not sure about Özil AND Konoplyanka.
