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 LΓΆw’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. πŸ™‚

            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

                9 years, 10 months ago

                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.

                1. the axolotl
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 10 months ago

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

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

      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
        9 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

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

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

      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.

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

    9. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months 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
        9 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. Lallana_
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

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

    10. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months 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
        9 years, 10 months ago

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

      2. mikess
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months 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
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months 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

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

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

    12. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        6 here, plenty to play for

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 10 months 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
            9 years, 10 months ago

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

            1. mikess
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 10 months 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
                9 years, 10 months ago

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

      2. RoyaleBlue
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        6 also

      3. Freshy

        5
        Juanfran , giacherrini , Patricio , Ronaldo , alaba

    13. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

    14. Clickzy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Captain Juanfran or Nolito tomorrow?

    15. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      So I have Giaccherini and Junuzovic left as captain options.. starting to wish I left it on Giroud! 😐

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

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

    16. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

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

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

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          this time on Tuesday till kick off Wednesday I guess

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

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

        2. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 months 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
        9 years, 10 months ago

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

    17. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months 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
        9 years, 10 months ago

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

      2. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months 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
          9 years, 10 months ago

          I'm thinking that

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

          1. Lallana_
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

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

    18. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months 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
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Looks good to me!

      2. mikess
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months 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
          9 years, 10 months ago

          All but Nolito*

      3. Horlicks esq.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

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

      4. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months 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.

          • 14 Years

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

        5. Swift
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months 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
            9 years, 10 months 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
              9 years, 10 months 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. πŸ˜€

          Captain Hazard or Juanfran?

            Hazard if you have a decent captain last day

              Have Alaba last day

            hazard

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

          Is Denayer likely to play tomorrow?

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

          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

            yeah it was expected to be him or can.

          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
            9 years, 10 months ago

            Juanfran and Alaba maybe

          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)

              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.

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

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

          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
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 10 months 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

            don't think so, sorry!

            1. emyoueffsee
              • 10 Years

              Chances of Fonte starting?

            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
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            you'd get 0

            • 12 Years

            You get denayers points even if it's 0
