With the Euro 2016 tournament just hours from getting underway the community is full of advice on the best transfers to make, strategies to adopt and teams to focus on. Our hot topics take a look at a wealth of issues from Cristiano Ronaldo’s chances of success to Dele Alli’s position on the pitch, while this week’s new Members tables offer further statistical insight to achieving Fantasy Football success during the tournament. Premier League transfer speculation is never far from the community’s thoughts and this week a potential exodus at Leicester comes under scrutiny.

The Hottest Topics

The build up to tonight’s launch of Euro 2016 created a whirlwind of posts on best players and strategies to adopt across the various games taking place.

Chat earlier in the week focused on the best players with dead-ball duties to consider, following an update to our Set Piece Takers page, which takes into account the main men for corners, free kicks and penalties for all 24 contestants.

One of the most popular players mentioned in our Euro 2016 must haves discussion was Ronaldo. But as we later discovered, his price and Portugal’s lack of attacking intent during qualifying are deterring many from investing in the Real Madrid man.

We also assessed the likely victors of this year’s tournament, which in previous years has been won by outsiders such as Denmark and Greece. In addition the security of players’ starts also came under our gaze.

For those playing the official UEFA Fantasy game raff97 was on hand to run the rule over the best time to wildcard, while DMCQT offered his top tips for success in this tournament long game and TorresMagic offered a useful reminder of the rules around substituting players.

With England kicking off tomorrow Ludo is keen to see Dele Alli join his Spurs team-mate Harry Kane in the attacking third. While Johnnski 0. Polska Wyborowa considered how relevant friendlies are to assessing whether a team will do well during the tournament itself.

Domestic football issues are never far from Fantasy managers’ thoughts, even though there is still more than two months to go before the Premier League season kicks off.

Eden Hazardous has been weighing up the merits of Chelsea’s striker Diego Costa, compared to Manchester City’s main man Sergio Aguero. A potential exodus at title-winners Leicester has been another source of debate. While we looked at Jamie Vardy’s potential move to Arsenal, Meinhoff also considered the nightmare scenario for Foxes’ fans if his team-mate Riyad Mahrez also follows him out the door and down the motorway to join the Gunners.

Parm dropped by with the full skinny on the baseline bonus point review, which looks at the Bonus Point System allocation in the Fantasy Premier League once goals and assists are stripped out.

Finally, there was some dramatic changes in our update on 2015/16’s end of season Hall of Fame Standings, where just one of last year’s top ten survived what proved to be a tricky season for many.

The Members Tables

To accompany our Set Piece takers page update to take into account Euro 2016 I’ve also created this table looking at the best corner takers, free kickers and penalty specialists. For those playing DraftKings I’ve made this table focusing on the key stats needed for success.

Set pieces are also the focus of Anguis’ Team table covering statistics such as corner conversion and the conceding of penalties.

Balders, meanwhile, has taken a look at the players with the best goal involvement statistics.

If you’re a member and are yet to get to grips with the custom statistics tables, you can view this movie for an explanation of how they work. Also, remember to tag them so that people can find the tables with ease.

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years

        do you have a link ?

        Oh I so wish that was true.

  2. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years

    Do you think that Morata will play?

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

      he will

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Indeed and score, unless he's been to a party with DDG

  3. Jack Frost
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can you change the formation after kickoff on the subs.... ie. go from 343 to 433? Or are you stuck and must play the formation you started with?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes you can change formation

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You can change.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You can change after the last game of the day.

    4. Jack Frost
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      thanks, that's what I remember on manager subs.

      unless you rely on auto subs when your subs are made without changing the initial formation.

  4. Fergietime
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Quaresma, the poor mans ronaldo, do we think he will start?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Probably.

          nope

  6. mccormibar
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A, Muller, Morata, Perisic

    B, Ronaldo, Nolito, Gotze

    Thank you

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A, but I would have Nolito instead of Morata.

    2. FudgyBadger
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A, muller is 100% essential

  7. BradtheLAD
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How does this draft look? Good to go?

    KozáÄik
    Juanfran Rami Schär
    Payet Alaba Perišić Mak De Bruyne
    Giroud Ronaldo

    Rui Patricio Nolito Hector Guerreiro

    Nothing in the bank, who should i captain?

  8. Hypnos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    can you change captains more than once per matchday?

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

      No, once the first game starts you can't do anything until the last game finishes.

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

        In other words you can change them between days but not twice in one day. So you could go from Giroud to Kane to Ronaldo, but only because they play on different days.

        1. Hypnos
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          aye, so you could change captains four times in matchday 1?

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

            Yeah, I got confused between matchdays and gamedays... they should just call it a gameweek. You can change them overnight.

            1. Hypnos
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              cheers mate

      2. Hypnos
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm talking about between gamedays in a given matchday

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

    Boateng or Dragovic guys?

    Hows this team looking?

    Sommer
    Bellerin, Dragovic, Rami
    KDB, Matuidi, Perisic, Ozil
    Muller, Giroud, Kane

    rul pat, denayer, clonek, renato sanchez

  10. WorldCup82
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    My team is blah..

    R. Patricio, L. Kalinic
    M. Bartra, S. Vrsaljko, L. Koscielny, S. Ramos, I. Strinic
    C. Fabregas, Z. Junuzovic, P. Pogba, D. Alli, R. Sanches
    C. Ronaldo, T. Muller, A. Griezmann

    Any suggestions?

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

      Bartra?

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

      Bartra Renato Vrsaljko out

      1. WorldCup82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Updated my crappy team to:

        R. Patricio, L. Kalinic
        E. Dier, L. Bonucci, S. Lichtsteiner, S. Ramos, I. Strinic
        C. Fabregas, Z. Junuzovic, P. Pogba, D. Alli, J. Draxler
        O. Giroud, T. Muller, A. Griezmann

        Any suggestions?

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Still crap.

          Joking but I would bin upgrade Pogba for someone with more attacking threat plus a lot of faith in France forwards.

  11. okiwatevs
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Pick two:
    Mak
    Dzemali
    Stanciu

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

      Dzemaili and Mak

  12. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Blazczykowski worth a punt in Grisicki's absence? I feel I need a bit of Polish action against NI.

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

      Decided for Junuzovic against Hungary instead.

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hi Parm

        I have him already.

        I was going with Milik but have gone with Nolito now as my 3rd striker...

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

          Džemaili might be worth a punt with Albania and Romania as his opening two fixtures.

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I had been looking for a Swiss midfielder - as you point, they have cracking fixtures. Wasn't encourage by Dzemalli's stats though ad not nailed on. Only real option IMO is Shaq, but he is listed as a Striker.

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

    Ok i'm confused... do you get one free transfer a day? Or one per stage?

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

      Per stage, we get the FT once the first round of group games is over.

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

        Hmm your the second person to say this yet it says this in the rules...

        Number of free transfers
        Group stage: one per matchday
        Round of 16: unlimited
        Quarter-finals: 4
        Semi-finals: 6
        Final: 6

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

          Each round of group stage matches counts as a "matchday". It's not really a day, which makes it confusing.

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

            Oh i see. They confuse things further by mentioning 'game week' deadlines

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

    It would be nice if the players had the date next to their fixture but hey ho McDonalds.

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I seem to remember that being the case last time. Maybe this kicks in when the game is active.

          He is a fine player, was i my hometown team until now but will join Rapid Wien after Euros. Will be missed here but not sure I'd pick him in this game. If you have 5.5 I 'd look at Forsberg who is instrumental to our attack or Dzemaili.

        It's David Silva, of course he will play.

      poor defense, decent attack

        Why poor defence? They are from the teams who are one of the best on tournament. I just picked the cheapest route for that defences.

        Send me a message on facebook, mate. 😀 We need to talk.

        Iniseasta instead of Silva would open up so much options for me.
