We conclude Sundayโ€™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 Lรถwโ€™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.

          probably getting ahead of yourself, so to speak, but a decent showing no doubt. nicely played. ๐Ÿ™‚

            One day of glory indeed.

            Just really nice to see your name in the world leaderboard. Pride. thats all it is. Genuine pride. for an evening.

            S'what we do it for eh?

              i'm not playing, but absolutely understand. i'd be less restrained tbf

                You've restrained completely though? If you havent done a Euro team thats the ultimate restraint...

                I just wish there was BAPS in the Euros with my defenders scoring for fun.

                  yeah i suppose i have, just thought i'd prefer to sit back and enjoy the football.

    5. mikess

      Good solid score. You have two players to play if you swap out Perisc. I got 6 and on 53, would be aiming for a score in 80s for first round. Kroos and Milik punts excellent for you

      1. Horlicks esq.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It'll be Muller that gets sacrificed. Perisic got 3. Muller only 2.

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Sorry my eye was getting drawn towards them huge points at the back

    9. Coaly

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good stuff. I would also be right up there with 70 points had I remembered to put Vida in to my team! :/

  2. Fergietime

    So what are we all scoring?
    58 here very happy but not having payet has annoyed me.

    3. Lallana_
      • 12 Years

      57. Unlucky with Perisic hitting the post/not assisting, Dier losing his cleansheet.

      1. Leaf

      52. Some extra Srna and Perisic points would have been sweet. Had a no show from my Polish defender. 3 to play. Pretty happy.

  4. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best thing to do tomorrow is wait to find out if Nolito starts before you substitute him into your team, right?

    Thinking Muller/Alli>Nolito for tomorrow

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Points off the bench is worth the risk against a 2 pointer

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Good point. Might as well substitute him in! I'm sure he'll get some minutes considering his performances.

  5. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Gotze and Draxler fails tonight , and maybe more worried one or both has not done enough to keep thier place in the German side

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Muller did not look great either. Kroos ran the show with Khedira and the German CBs.

    2. mikess
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yea I'd be worried about Gotze more so with Schurle and Gomez lurking. I might ditch him this round

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I didnt think Kroos was going to hog all the set pieces
      They held a good team to no goals so I would think he would stick

  6. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hey folks. I can swap out Fuchs for defender tomorrow then swap Fuchs back in right?

    I have Jukaku and was going to put in for Rami 2pt but better to leave him till last day yes?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, you can sub any player who hasn't yet played, then sub them back in.

  7. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How many players do you have left? Got 6 left. Probably using all 4 substitutes.

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      6 here, plenty to play for

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        So far the 'too obvious' unfashionable midfielders are doing good. Modric, Kroos, Ramsey are in the points hoping that transfers to David Silva tomorrow

        1. Lallana_
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Had them in my first drafts but they seemed like poor picks after looking at stats.

          1. mikess
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            In hindsight I'd have went with a budget forward line as forward points are poor. A cleanie and assist for a midfielder is the same

            1. Lallana_
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Perhaps our expensive forwards will do better. Let's hope.

    2. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      6 also

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Rui Partricio / Alba / JaunFran / Guerreiro
      Alaba
      5

    4. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      5
      Juanfran , giacherrini , Patricio , Ronaldo , alaba

  8. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bench points set, 3 2 2 2. Always the plan, but the rest of my team has to come through now...

  9. Clickzy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Juanfran or Nolito tomorrow?

  10. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So I have Giaccherini and Junuzovic left as captain options.. starting to wish I left it on Giroud! ๐Ÿ˜

    1. mikess
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You never know. Giaccherini scored 1 in 4 this season ha

  11. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    when can you make a transfer? 1 per matchday? cheers

    1. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ive actually not seen a way to transfer fully a player yet.

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        this time on Tuesday till kick off Wednesday I guess

        1. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          just seen this on rules,,,,– you can transfer/substitute players depending whether it's a transfer or substitution period.

      2. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        me neither I seen before it says ~substitutions open~ do we have to wait until it says transfer available ? cheers

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      at the moment its substitutions open, guess we have to wait until it tells us transfers are open, cheers, good luck all

  12. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Tommorow is my weak day Captain options
    Juanfran or Giaccherini

    Juanfran more likely to get points , Giaccherini could get a haul

    Got to be Juanfran right ?

    1. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      How many points secures the armband for you in the GW?

    2. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      6 pts from Juanfran would not be a bad week for you. I'd play safe.

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm thinking that

        ...but I do have the Ronaldo option o the last day

        1. Lallana_
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Oh. Well then I'd go Giaccherini and captain Ronaldo unless he exceeds 6 pts. Worth the risk against a leaky Iceland.

  13. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Perisic with three points survived. How does this look?

    Kosiak (3pts) - Substitute Patricio
    Muller (2pts) - Substitute Nolito
    Alli (2pts) - Substitute Sigurdsson
    Rami (2pts) - Substitute Dragovic

    1. Swift
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good to me!

    2. mikess
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      spot on, I'd hang fire on all but 3 just incase you here some late injury news on the last day

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        All but Nolito*

    3. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Might have to sit on Nolito and Dragovic starting before you throw them in?

    4. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers lads. Going to wait on the Spanish lineup to make sure Nolito's in the team tomorrow. With the other three substitutes I'll end up using them on the last day of substitutes.

      My friends do. I was logged in already, so I'm fine. I was testing it in incognito mode for them and I was able to login through http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/

      After logging in there, I could get on the McDonald's fantasy site (as a logged in user).

      Sorted! Thank you both ๐Ÿ™‚ Anyone else with problem, click on above links, community and games, fantasy 7's, then switch to 16's

  15. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Averaging 5 points per player so far. Not great :/

  16. Swift
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    This might be a really stupid question, but, after seeing how well defenders have scored this round, captain:

    A) Juanfran
    B) KDB
    C) Nolito

    I have KDB right now, but I feel like Juanfran will pick up a CS against the Czechs (equivalent to a goal by KDB) and has some attacking potential.

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd captain KDB. Got a goal/assist against a strong Italy team in a friendly around 6 months ago. Certainly capable. Juanfran is a safer option and your captain options are running low.

      1. Swift
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I think I'd take anything over a two pointer right now haha. I think tomorrow has to work out, since I don't really rate Alaba/Patricio as captain options. Will go with Juanfran, but doing that it'll surely swing KDB's way. ๐Ÿ˜€

  17. nevins84
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hey Guys
    These are my 3 subs.. should i just do them now in place of 2pt players?
    I just want to be sure all 3 will start

    Quresma
    Guerreiro
    Junuzovic

    1. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      May aswell just wait a day

    2. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Someone wrote on here Quaresma might not start so I'd look into that.

    3. emyoueffsee
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You can get the lineups an hour before kick off anyway.

      1. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Portugal is the last game though

        1. nevins84
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          This...

          Cheers all il wait till Tue morning i think... looks like its gunna be a gamble

  18. emyoueffsee
    • 10 Years

    A. Juanfran

    1. melvinmbabazi

  19. melvinmbabazi

    Captain Hazard or Juanfran?

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard if you have a decent captain last day

      1. melvinmbabazi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Have Alaba last day

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      hazard

    3. aflickering
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      the fact that you're asking this question suggests to me that you shouldn't have picked hazard tbh

  20. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Denayer likely to play tomorrow?

    1. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I've heard some talk that it could be Ciman but I'd say likely yes

  21. mikess
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Was there any talk of Mustafi playing prior to the game?

    I was on Rudiger a while ago until he was injured then I heard nothing, I skipped the opportunity to upgrade to Howedes

    1. aflickering
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yeah it was expected to be him or can.

  22. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is there a reason I can't view the leaderboard for my country and the global one ?

    1. RoyaleBlue

      10 years, 1 month ago

      On mobile

  23. Legomane
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Juanfran or Fabregas tomorrow...

    Captain Rui Patricio, Alaba or Dragovic for Tuesday...(if tomorrow's choice doesn't impress)

    Thoughts

    1. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Juanfran and Alaba maybe

    2. Legomane

    Woah!

    I am 19th in the world with 71 pts.

    Only Denayer left for me tho and I will get him in for Calhanoglu. (if I only didn't put Giroud on the bench for Calhanoglu)

      Wow, congratz dusan

        Thanks, mate. I am afraid because I don't have any Spain player, Ibra, Belgium attacker, Alaba and Ronaldo. I will fall on rank a lot until the end of this matchday.

      God, I would be 5th if I left Giroud ๐Ÿ™

    Sub on renato sanchez or stick with 2 pointer? ๐Ÿ˜›

    1. aflickering

      might be worth a punt i suppose. this is why you shouldn't pick a 4.5 benchwarmer that plays on the last day. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      2 pointer

    can you change formation at this stage to a 4-4-2 from a 3-4-3 to accommodate your substitutions or is the formation fixed for each gameweek?

    1. aflickering
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      you can change it to any formation that contains 3 defenders and 1 forward. the formation will just change automatically when you do the subs.

    Messing with my team and transferred Lewandowski out for Fonte.
    Can I undo the transfer before Portugal play?

    1. aflickering
      • 14 Years

      don't think so, sorry!

      1. emyoueffsee
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Chances of Fonte starting?

    2. Gizzachance

      i cant even find where you do the transfer, !
      you will just have to hope fonte rewards you, good luck

    Noob question.

    If I put in Denayer for Calhanoglu now and Denayer doesn't make appearance against Italy, will I get Calhanoglu back or would get 0 from Denayer?

    1. aflickering
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      you'd get 0

    2. Ambu
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You get denayers points even if it's 0

      Damn it. Thanks.
