We conclude Sunday’s events with a floodlit clash between Germany and Ukraine in Group C.

Germany will undoubtedly be considered favourites to begin their campaign with a victory. However, question mark remains over Joachim Löw’s side in a number of positions and their form on arrival in France is far from convincing. Defeats to England and Slovakia in pre-tournament friendlies has raised doubts in the German camp.

Their opponents will head into the contest with some confidence. Ukraine have won nine of their last 13 outings, with victories in their last four. A 1-0 reverse at the hands of Spain has been their only setback in this impressive spell.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        If you know who he is, you googled him apparently, according to a certain someone on here. He's supposed to be unheard of, in the same way Martial was 😆

    Anyone think the points are in midfield and defence this tournament? Thinking of upgrading Mak and Stanciu to Payet and Kroos and downgrading Lew after watching these hands. What do you think?

    1. FudgyBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah I'm doing Mak > Kroos

      1. ktongue
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Do you already have Payet in your squad? I only ask because I wouldn't just get rid of Mak or Stanciu after watching there opening matches. They where just in the right place at the right time. And in this instance Lewandowski didn't have the same impact as Milik.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      They have been so far.

    3. Optimus.
      • 15 Years

      Strap down that knee

    4. fitzy
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      So far my points have mainly come from the forwards. But yes guessing the right cs's is clearly the way to go with no BP's.

      1. ktongue
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Definitely. So far making the subs on the day has helped me a lot. But Giroud has only got me 5 points so far and I didn't double up with Payet. So you are looking for players who can get the assist or the goals. Even better if they keep a clean sheet. Also really impressed with Hector and Germany currently. Gutted he didn't get that opening goal though.

    5. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      With the point system, clean sheets should be the bread and butter. Mak and Stanciu scored well don't know why they need upgrading although wouldn't want to be without Payet next round.

      1. ktongue
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I wouldn't get rid of them necessarily. I watched both games as was really impressed with the pair. My issue is having a forward Lewandowskii taking up 11.5 of the budget when he wasn't playing like one. Might be ignorance on my part but Milik looked more threatening. And another 4k in the bank is at least an upgrade to get Payet in the squad.

        I say this without watching Fáb or Alaba. But Stanciu, Mak, Perišić look strong.

  9. Leaf

    Germans look very strong again

    Perisic to Kroos very tempting

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

      I missed the match was Peresic very poor ?

      1. FudgyBadger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        He was good in my opinion

      2. Dušan Citizen

        Best player for fantasy prospect today. Alongside Srna.

      3. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years

        He was the best man of the tournament so far

        Unlucky not to get one of those big Aguero hauls but instead got 2 points and left the pitch with an injury.....

    That moment of dissapoitment when you realize it was Kross' cross and not Ozil.

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years

          He needs to make this clear in future......

            • 15 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            I think Robbie Keane set a generous precedent with his 7 boyhood clubs

      If I was playing he would have been in my team, I made a mock team and it would have scored very well so far as it happens, no regrets though wanted the break.

  21. andy85wsm

    What on earth is Khedira doing in that position!?

    1. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      He's scored a fair few goals, so allowed to roam one or twice.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      He's a b2b.

  22. Eden Azzzar

          I don't know, what is?

    2. Declan

  23. Dušan Citizen

    Does Howedes goes to the pen box when Germany have corner?

  24. FudgyBadger
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Kroos is controlling the game, I'd be worried not to own him honestly.

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      You like being honest don't you

      1. FudgyBadger
        • 10 Years

        Honesty is the best policy.

        1. Eden Azzzar

          Bribing is the best policy

      2. George Sillett

        I should never have started this.

        1. Ziro
          • 11 Years

          FFS never forgets.

    2. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      We get it. You've got him and rate him.

      'Controlling a game' doesn't always equate to fantasy points, I might add.

      1. FudgyBadger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I've not got him, I picked Perisic instead.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Better pick tbh

          Should have got way more than 3 points

    3. Ziro
      • 11 Years

      Kronos has got nothing on Schar. 😉

      1. Ziro

        Kroos even. 🙄

    Müller was my last good captain choice....crap
