Monday’s final Euro 2016 tie sees Fifa’s second highest ranked side Belgium square up to 2012 Euros finalist Italy.

Both sides come into the match in confident mood having topped their qualifying groups and ending their pre-tournament friendly preparations unbeaten. While Belgium defeated Norway 3-2 and drew 1-1 with Finland, Italy recorded wins against Scotland and Finland.

Marc Wilmots’ team are set to rely heavily on Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who created more chances than any other player during qualification. Along with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard he was also the Red Devils’ top scorer in qualifying with five goals.

Antonio Conte’s Italy were one of only four sides, alongside England, Austria and Romania, to be undefeated in qualifying. They did this despite not having a regular goal scorer, with Southampton striker Graziano Pelle the Azzuri’s top scorer in qualifying with just three goals.

    Any ideas who will start in the LB position for Portugal? I have Guerreiro on the bench but afriad to sub him in and lose the 2 points of Rami....

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It is literally a 50/50 between Eliseu and Guerreiro.

    2. GuyIncognito

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Are you really going to regret 2 points?

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

        yea 😆 champions care about those small differences :p

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years

          Champions have testicles 🙂

          1. Ayew Serious
            • 11 Years

            You better hope there are no feminists about 😛

        2. GuyIncognito
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I sort of question why you picked the lad in the first place if you are hesitant about making this move.

        3. Ayew Serious
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Think about it this way.

          About 50/50 chance of playing

          And let's be very vague here and say there's a 50/50 chance of clean sheet.

          That leaves four outcomes with equal chance

          He scores 0,0,2 or 6

          The average is 2.

          Hence imo, the risk is worth taking.

    Giaccherini, Schar, Dier, Ramos back four worked a treat. My only regret this week is not confirming Schar as captain. .

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Imagine you got Pique instead of Ramos

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That would just be greedy.

    2. GuyIncognito
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I regret whiffing on Giaccherini, especially after gambling on Italy doing better than expected and picking Candreva.

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        At least he got you a return 🙂

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, my defence got me all the points here too 🙂 Too bad there were so many blankers in the attack 🙁

  3. Thomas M.
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hate it when i get the last post on previous page, trying again to see how i´m doing since this is the first time playing this one..

    68 points with Junuzovic (C) left is a okay first round huh? With players missing points like Peresic, Morata and Dzemaili..

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You're doing very very well

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That's a good score.

    3. Thomas M.
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks for responding boys!

      Really confused if i want to change anything with my team for GW2..

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Always room to improve. Gizza look

  4. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years

    ronaldo will blank tomorrow 🙁

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

      Sadly yes, this tournament showed us that big names wont deliver in 1st game week. #onlydefence#5-4-1

  5. Jay_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is anyone here on 52 points? If so, what's your rank please?

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not sorry, but I imagine it's around 40k

      Why you asking?

      1. Jay_
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm on 58 points, but just subbed out 3x 2 pointers. So real score is 52 with 4 to go. Just wanted to get an idea of where I really stand

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Others are making changes too. Impossible to know where you stand

          1. Jay_
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yes but I'd rather know what the 52 is tonight, and keep that in my head, and see any jump tomorrow as a bonus when the game updates.

            1. Ayew Serious
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Okay. Well I realised my above prediction is way off.

              I'd say 70k would be more accurate

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I am. 78547.

    3. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I am. Ranked 78547.

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

    All of you seem to be doing annoyingly well around here, anyone worse off than 150k? Make me feel better

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

      I'm guessing most of us have Schär which has helped my rank a lot 🙂 The points are in the defence!!!

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

        Rodriguez over Schar 🙁

    2. clooz

  7. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'm dreaming of a 1st place finish in any Fantasy game. Currently 13 points behind the World #1, could this be it!?!?!?

    I should stop aspiring so high 😆 😆

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

      I'll believe in you if you split your winnings. I'll take the right football boot you win or whatever the prize is :') 😉

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        😉 😀

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Reckon you should calm a bit. Wouldn't even think about winning unless you're in a similar position come semis

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        😆 I should definitely calm it down.

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Can't deny I'm jealous though

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

      me too. I am currently on 72 pts. only one player left tomorrow though! good luck bro

  8. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Subbed out Denayer for Guerreiro and Muller for Junuzovic. Captained Junuzovic.

    Now I'm considering benching Sommer for Patricio and captaining Patricio. What do you guys think?

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

      That sounds utterly mental 😛

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I know. :/

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I would not do that at all. Stick with Junuzovic (c).

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        ...fine. Not feeling good about this.

    3. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

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

      Keep Sommer on and captain Jun. Not garunteed a CS with Rui. Say Jun blanks you're effectively gambling with 4 points. Jun(c) blank + Sommer = 10. Rui CS(c) + Jun blank =14. There's no garuntee of that CS. That's just how I see it anyway

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I can see that. Cheers.

    5. GunsnRoses
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      My prediction would be 12 - 6 + 3 = 9 points with Patricio cap
      Otherwise 3 x 2 = 6 points from Junu
      Assuming Rui CS and Junu nothing.
      Very difficult 🙁

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hopefully Junuzovic grabs a brace and all my mistakes pay off

  9. Sleivspark
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Did anyone watch the Spain game ??

    How did Nolito do ? Will he start next game?

    Time to ship him out ??

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

      neither him and morata were very effective...

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He wasn't great. Might keep his place, might not.

      Who can you really ship him out for at that price?

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

        Will Griggs! 😉

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

    Subs good to go?

    Rami>Dragovic
    De Bruyne>Sigurdsson
    Kozacik>Patricio

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

      Yep

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years

        Cheers. Good luck tomorrow.

        1. RoyaleBlue
          • 14 Years

          I need it! And good luck to you

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

    So, 22 points from 6 of my front 7 . . .
    29 points from my 3 defenders
    (xD)

  12. Jay_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    ---------------Adrian----------------
    Pied Ogbonna Reid Cresswell
    -----------Kouyate Noble-----------
    Feghouli-----Payet-----------Tore
    ---------------Lacazette-------------
    -----------------------------------------
    Randoph Tomkins Oxford Hutchison
    Nordveit Antonio Lanzini Calleri Carroll

    Hopefully that's the squad that challenges champions league spots and goes on a Europa run. Likely that all those players come in except Lacazette, that's way off but I do believe we will get him eventually.

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Very exciting team. Wonder if Feghouli could be an alternative to Payet in FPL (if he's cheaper obviously).

  13. JJJ
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    who to put captain on?
    A- Dragovic

    B- Patricio

    thanks

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

    Thought I captained Juanfran, turns out I captained KDB because I forgot to hit confirm. Oh dear.

  15. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So uhh how do I make a transfer in the uefa game?!

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

      Need to wait for the round to end first I think.

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

      Go to My Team
      drag and drop

  16. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    When is the best time to use wildcard,??

    Rui Kozacik
    Schar Rami Guerrero Denayer Hector
    Payet Perisic Hamsik stanciu Fabregas
    Muller Lewandonski Giroud

    With this bunch would you Wc this week?

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

      Nope

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think so. Pretty good fixtures for most of those guys.

  17. Keno
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Chance Guerreiro starts?

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

      Check top of the page

  18. Blurryface
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Dragovic or Junuzovic Cap?

    Currently on Dragovic cap

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

      Dragovic looks good imo

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

    Patricio Guerreiro Alaba Fuchs left

    C on Fuchs yes?

  20. dfw
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Would like to hear thoughts on this: should I stick with Milik (6p) as captain, or switch captaincy to Ronaldo?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Keep

  21. Too Mane Men
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Worth taking a substitute punt on Renato Sanches for a 2 point risk?

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

      I'm probably taking a risk on Guerreiro.

    2. WALOR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Risk he won't start, but potential upside is worth 2 pts.

      Unless, like me, you just hate him because he didn't come to Man Utd...

  22. Slam
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Not the greatest, but not the worst start in the world 😀
    In Fantasy - ranked 40k
    In Daily 7s - ranked 1k

    Which of these transfers would you do?

    A) Junuzovic -> Alli
    B) Casillas -> Any other playing keeper (Other is Kozacik)
    C) Zlatan -> Anyone (Other than Mullet and Nolito)

    Not interested in hits, thanks

  23. Kitchen Sink
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Question about Euro 2016 McDonald's FF
    Is it possible to change your captain without making a substitution? If so, how? I'm stumped

    1. Kitchen Sink
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I've just figured it out, lol!

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Click on the player in your 11 and captain him.

    Score prediction for Austria vs Hungary and who is the likely scorer in your opinion?

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

      I'm gonna go 2-0 Austria.

  25. BigAsGiroud_
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    change Juanfran(C)to Junuzovic or Dragovic???

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No, you'll regret it as little to gain. Stick.

  26. 7alwachi
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Have no idea how to use my free transfer as no one really stood out this tournament that I don't already have, would you change anything about this?

    Sommer Rui Patrício
    Giaccherini Rami Ciman Strinić Guerreiro
    De Bruyne Özil Payet Konoplyanka Candreva
    Ronaldo Giroud Nolito

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

      perhaps de bruyne for hazard

    2. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Form players I have seen so far.
      Payet Kroos Iniesta Dier Giacherini Brady

      out of form.
      Muller KDB France Defence,

      Just the way they played not the points.

      i am using my wildcard GW2

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

    About to do these subs:

    Kozacik (3) > Patricio
    Kane (2) > Alaba
    Muller (2) > Guerreiro

    yay?

    1. WALOR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yea to all.
      only the last one is at all questionable, and I'm doing it

  28. Red Reddington ⚽
    • 11 Years

    Any nailed on 4.0m defenders now that most games have been played?

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Strinic from Croatia.

  29. Blurryface
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone doing Dragovic to Giacherreni next week?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Considerting his playing position Giac has to come in somewhere. Never mind the goal!

  30. manosaca
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Morning lads, quick question..

    Will we be able to see Austria's line-up before the substitutions deadline?

    since there are no early match this evening..
    cheers!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Taking Drogivic will play and all my points coming from defenders. Alaba or Drago for C? I have patricio but already have 6 pts ITB with Sommer.
