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.

    Patricio/4.0
    Rodriguez Alaba Rami Denayer Guerrerio
    Ozil Peresic Alaba Hansik Payet
    Nolito Ronaldo Shaqiri

    Something like that for me.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Be careful on Denayer and wow you managed to get Alaba in defence 😮 (just kidding, I know it's Alba)

      Team looks very nice, especially the front 8. Liking the Ronaldo and Shaq pick although I wouldn't advise not having Giroud or Muller. Midfield is brilliant 🙂

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        My lad has Giroud and Muller. I don't want to play the tournament with too many similar picks. Not sure who his third striker will be.

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Ah, I see. 🙂

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I am not sure Denayer is nailed there were reports that Ciman was playing with the first choice eleven in training .

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Neither am I tbh...I can shuffle the money around at the back as the day goes on.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I have Schar and Dragovic instead .

  2. Big Sum
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Do we know if Morata is going to start?

    1. Irish Madridista â­
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, he will.

      1. Big Sum
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. He is in my team then

  3. geese01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Guerreiro nailed ?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure. Seems to have the edge but still quite a risk.

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's not even glued.

  4. Yolo Toure
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Alli or Junozovic? Or other 6.5 or below mid?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I like Dele Alli. 🙂

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alli

    3. Blurryface
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alli may not start if Hodgson plays a 433

  5. culverwood
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RMT Please

    Patricio, Sommer
    Schar, Junfran, Koscieny, Hector, Denayer
    Candreva, Fabregas, Kroos, Perisic, Alaba
    Muller, Kane, Shaqiri

    Hello chaps, long time no see. Haven't started picking my Euro team and have only a few hours to do so. This should be fun...

  7. psgg

    9 years, 8 months ago

    patricio / kozacik

    cedric / hector / juanfran/ rami / lindelof

    de bruyne / kroos / perisic / stanciu / zielinski

    giroud / muller / ronaldo

    Any tips?

    I just don't feel right with my midfield...

    Zielinski it's a probable starter for Poland.
    Kroos doesn't really have much love, people are going more for Fabregas, but he is not even nailed.?
    Portugal haves a easy group, so I just think Ronaldo it's a must have even though it's a bit expensive.
    Don't see anyone going for Zlatan? missing me somethin, he normally scores goals, even if Sweden doesn't play nothing.

    any playing 4m defenders ?

    1. Irish Madridista â­
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Strinic the most likely.

      1. uhahpaulmcgrath
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        have him already ....

        1. Irish Madridista â­
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Guerreiro for Portugal next most likely.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      In order of likelihood imo:
      Lindelof
      Strinic
      Guerreiro
      Ciman
      von Bergen

  12. MajesticWok
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Best Polish MID who isn't Grosicki (likely non-starter)?

    1. â­ Bemba_Da â­
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Blazza

  13. Blurryface
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Settled on this

    Final Ratings?

    Kozaci/ Patricio

    Schar Howedes Rami/ Juanfran Dragovic

    Perisic Hamsik KDB Payet/ Junuzovic

    Muller Giroud Nolito

    EURO 2016 TOP GOALSCORER
    Which one should I bet on?

    A: Griezmann @ 11/1

    B: Giroud @ 14/1

    Leaning towards Giroud atm, should play 90 mins right ?

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Close, I'd go B.

  15. psycho050985
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Where am I going wrong here?

    De GEa (Sommer)
    Koscielny, Pique, Rodriguez (Vertonghen, Raph Guerreiro)
    Ozil, Alaba, Grosicki, Kroos (Stanciu)
    Milik, Grioud, Muller

    1. â­ Bemba_Da â­
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Defence too expensive

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Disagree.

        Grosicki passed fit?

        1. psycho050985
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Appreciate your comments, fellas.

          Not sure where I'd put the extra cash.

          Grosicki is definitely a situation to monitor. Obvious replacement?

  16. Yolo Toure
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Patricio // Sommer

    Rami // Hector // Lichsteiner // Juanfran // Guerreiro

    Payet// Alli // Hamsik // Ozil // Perisic

    Giroud // Nolito // Ronaldo

    RMT please! I'm only unsure about Lichsteiner and if Gurerrerio is nailed on to start.

  17. Tmel

    Value in Ireland (14/1) or Czech Republic (16/1) as lowest scoring team?

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

      Romania and Slovakia say hi

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

    3. Irish Madridista â­
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nah doubt it, there are worse teams than those out there.

    4. Funkyav
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I went Russia at 25/1 for lowwest scoring team

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

    Almost there, last three spots to fill...

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

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

      No specifics, last news was positive from the camp but he himself said if he's not 100% he won't play. Best to leave til next MD.

    I have completely disappeared from HOF. There is no record of my name or my FPL ID... I was just wondering what might have happened? Any ideas gents?

      Were you in the FFS League last season? That's where the HOF looks for candidates.

        yeah I was, have been able to search for my name throughout last season etc. but seem to have disappeared!

            Yep, that's the problem - you are not actually in the league.

            Next season make sure you join the league and then for the next live update you'll be added automatically.

      Lewandowski

    Where does Dzemaili play?

    1. â­ Bemba_Da â­

      Mid

      1. Junior âš½

      1. Junior âš½

        better pick than Stanciu and Forsberg Doos?

  23. Joga Bonito®
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How's this?

    Berisha

    Dier Hector Rami

    Alli Ozil Hamsik Calhanoglu

    Lewandowski Ronaldo Giroud (c)

    Almer Kleinheisler Lindelof Guerreiro to be swapped in depending of the performances of the others. Also gives me a choice to change captain daily.

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

      I like Calhanoglgolgo....that's the one spot I can't figure out...

      No Spain?

      1. Irish Madridista â­

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Can't see value in Spain mids and my whole team is based around my 2 expensive strikers + Giroud who I've tipped for golden boot. If only Bellerin was starting.

      News from Austria: He will certainly start the first game

  25. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Giacherrini worth a punt? noticed he has been starting in midfield the past few games @ just 5.0(one of the few OOP's in the game)

    1. â­ Bemba_Da â­
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think so

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

      Lots of people think so. Conte seems to like him. Only trouble is if Conte realises he isn't very good. Still, it's not like Italy's squad is brimming with attacking talent.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        cheers Roscola.. just started making a team a few hours ago so all this is new information to me 🙂

          😉

          I actually liked him a lot at the last Euros but then he inexplicably joined Sunderland and he's gone backwards since then.

      3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, but he is a SUNDERLAND reject ...

        1. Irish Madridista â­
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn't base your rating of him purely on his Sunderland fiasco, he's a decent player (when not up in the north)

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

          Indeed. Shame, because I thought he was really good at the last Euros but his career nosedived immediately afterwards. Was it Di Canio who convinced him to join Sunderland? He owes that kid ....

    Cool, sorted, team's aesthetics have been finalised, Christina is still messing about with Ronaldo, Jazz is starting to believe this is his year, Eden is starting to consider Eden, RMT's look nothing like my team, and it's half-day home time.

    This is all going swimmingly. Toodles till Mondee, besht o luck 🙂
