The first of two Tuesday evening Euro 2016 matches sees hotly-tipped Austria, who emerged unbeaten from qualifying, take on Hungary.

Marcel Koller’s Austria topped a tough qualifying group, which included Russia and Sweden, to reach Euro 2016 but had mixed fortunes in their pre-tournament build up. While they beat Malta 2-1 they also lost 2-0 to the Netherlands. This is the first European Championships Austria have qualified for, having co-hosted the event when they took part in 2008.

Hungary qualified the hard way. They finished third in their group and only secured a place at the tournament by beating Norway in the play-offs. Bernd Storck’s side are set to rely heavily on Bursaspor wide man Balazs Dzsudzsak, who had double the number of shots than any of his international team mates over the qualifiers.

The two teams have played each other 137 times, but this is the first time they have met at a major tournament since the 1934 World Cup.

    who is nailed for portugal:vierinha or guereirro?

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

      See how they both play. Competition will take their spot if they are bad.

  2. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Will dragovic be banned? If so for how long?

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

      1 game probably

    2. NissA
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      From our fantasy teams? Forever.

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Don't know. Maybe none for 2 yellows?

      1. juggos
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Has to be at least one i would think. 2 consecutive yellows is a 1 game ban. Can't be less than that

        1. juggos
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          *2 yellows during the early stages of the tournament before they are cleared I mean

      2. ronty
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        considering he wasn't shown a straight red for that disgusting tackle, he got off lightly
        1 match ban

    4. Stonerrocks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Does anyone know for sure?

      1. Knowledgeable meerkat
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        1 game according to the eufa rules page

  3. Moore FPL
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Looks like it's KDB & Janko out then...

  4. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Is there anyway to know player captaincy percentages? Like, that of Dragovic?

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Yes mate shows you when you click player on team sheet

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Never mind that missed the captaincy lol

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Yup. Tbh, even checking the ownership seems to be only possible if you have the player yourself.

          I guess this should make us appreciate more the amount of information we get during FPL season, largely not from FPL but from people playing it (FPLDiscovery etc.)

  5. Shels
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Joao Moutinho man of the match, you heard it here, in this very spot.

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

      Played a bet?

      1. Shels
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        No

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

          That's silly then. Throwing money away

          1. Shels
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            haha

        2. Shels
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          maybe Siggy though 🙂

    2. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      isn't playing very well recently (likely to be subbed off at 70' mark)
      pepe will be the man

      1. Shels
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        pepe will get s/o for being last man when they 3-0 up with 32 mins to play

  6. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Been such a boring Euros so far. Portugal vs Iceland looks like another borefest

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Disagree. Not a lot of goals but some absorbing matches.

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

        I've enjoyed it so far. Games have been tight, interesting and there's also been a few cracking goals.

  7. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    I have Junuzović, Perišić and Dragović. I am really considering a wildcard.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Wildcardic.

      1. SweepaKeepa
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Iccy trigger finger

    2. NissA
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      You got the wrong "-ićs", Modrić and Strinić were the ones to get.

    3. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Is Perisic actually injured?

    4. cutch
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Is there any problem with Perisic?

    5. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      He might have an injury, he was subbed off early.

    6. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Nothing wrong with Perisic

  8. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    @Nidge.
    Any intention of referring to dextrous or ambidextrous puffins this evening ?

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Waiting for the right moment mate.. muttered it under my breath chatting with my boss earlier lol

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        I look forward very much to that. Can feel the excitement building .

  9. Mitos77
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    who is better and safe pick vierinha or guerreiro?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      V

    2. Meinhoff
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Vieirinha is classed as a mid, so Guerreiro

    3. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      people replied to you already

  10. Keno
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Which offense Spain player would you want for the next game?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Messi

    2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Morata

    3. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      None of them

    4. Meinhoff
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      No one really. I will keep Fabs, but not too optimistic about it

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Same

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        This

    5. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Pique

    6. juggos
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Morata or Iniesta

  11. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    After that showing think i`ll rid Alaba of Austria, Portugal up for them next.

    GK Sommer/Patricio
    DEF Dier, Hector, Juanfran, Strinic, Rami
    MID Alaba, Fabregas, Payet, Perisic, Renato Sanchez,
    FWD Ronaldo, Muller, Giroud.

    So far i`m doing well.

    Not sure who to bring in tbh, not ruling out a -4 tbh

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Just wildcard if you are planning a minus 4. Tournament games are too short for hits

  12. 420king
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Why are people getting rid of KDB?

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

      Wildcard?

    2. NissA
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      He's ginger. Apart from that, I don't see any other valid reason.

    3. Shels
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Cause everyone here but me thinks IRELAND are the top dollar in a 1 dollar pile

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      you not around here much?

      if a player has a bad game he is out for a player who scored well. Then there is lots of moaning when the new player blanks and the player taken out goes nuts

    5. ronty
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      people are bobbins

  13. Shels
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Who thinks ronaldo will slip on ice inside the box this evening?

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Can't see it, looks quite mild weather

      1. Shels
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Does he put his boots in the freezer before en enters the field though?

  14. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    I'm guessing Dragovic to Giaccherini will be a popular move this week?

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Yup

    2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Giaccherini a rotation risk if Italy secure qualification early?

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Maybe but will cross that bridge when I come to it. Love your grav by the way! Great game

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

          That's my only concern but should get 6 points against Sweden. Yes, indeed it is. 🙂

    3. TJ_777
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Honestly any defender->Giacherini will be very popular he is cheaper than the starting defenders and plays as a midfielder

      1. Shels
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Sweden played vs Ireland down the left flank all night, if olsen attacks half as much might he wise to inc. him once more

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      it will be popular but for me not the right move

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Who would you suggest Bemba?

  15. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Brazil sack Dunga.

    May finally get to see Coutinho Firmino Neymar play together now.

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

      Good riddance.

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Or Thiago Silva back in Seleção, for starters.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Exactly.

    3. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Diego Alves
      Dani Alves - Thiago Silva - Miranda - Marcelo
      Fernandinho - Luis Gustavo
      Willian - Coutinho - Douglas Costa
      Neymar

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Marquinhos > Miranda

        Costa Firmino Coutinho
        Neymar

  16. TorresMagic™
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Ibra provisionally with Man Utd.

    1. TJ_777
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Ibra gets a 4million euro loyalty bonus for finishing his contract that's why it has been delayed

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      That's a huge shock 😯

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

        😛

    3. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      What we think for price? 12 mill? Hard to judge considering Utd came 5th

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

        No idea. Will he be on pens? That would push it up.

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

          Probably will be.

        2. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Would imagine so

    4. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I'm pretty confident Embolo will be joining also

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        No way. That kid is class. Would need to play every week to develop though

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Yep some would say it's a done deal but i'm not getting carried away although i'm expecting it... right side of the attack is a position he could walk into even with his relative inexperience imo.. another Mourinho type with his raw power and pace for sure

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            Nothing is a done deal until it's signed nowadays. He's really good, could end up a winger/striker. Has everything to become top quality

            1. KingNidge
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 10 days ago

              First i saw of him in the flesh was off the bench the other day and looked very very good..

              1. KingNidge
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 10 days ago

                When i say in the flesh i mean live i wasn't actually there lol

                1. Davido989
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 10 days ago

                  You only said that cos your boss is on here haha 😉

                  1. KingNidge
                    • 10 Years
                    10 years, 10 days ago

                    Absolute tosspenguin he is

                      • 10 Years
                      10 years, 10 days ago

                      Get in! Strike one.

  17. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Key to success in fantasy euro appears to be not to own players with daft hair.

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Bale doing fine for me 🙂

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Ah but that's just looking like a pillock

    2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      You like Payet's trim?

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Is that a rude question ?

  18. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    So guys Junuzovic --> ? (have Mak already, 0.0 itb)

    A) Joao Mario
    B) Nicolae Stanciu
    C) Delle Alli
    D) Balázs Dzsudzsák

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

      D, imo. All set pieces and good fixture next. I'm considering that Brozovic also, got a load of chances and played the full 90 v Turkey.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        cheers. yeah that brozovic guys was impressive in first match. had decent stats too

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Exasperating .

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      seems pretty jovial compared to recent days

  19. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Currently have Triple Swiss defence, not feeling too confident about it next week. I can either do:

    A) Alaba > Dzsudzsak/Brozovic

    or

    B) Rodriguez > Giaccherini/Bonucci/Srna

    Thoughts?

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

      I'd keep Alaba. He was so close to scoring today, it was very unfortunate, probably better giving yourself more clean sheet options! I'd go Bonucci because I'd be worried with Giaccherini being rotated if they get 6 points.

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

        Thanks for your input.

        Alaba was close but does play slightly deep and is up against Portugal next. Not too sure about him. Had a chance or two today but as a team Austria did look quite poor. Hmmmm

    2. mourinho_el_fenómeno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Keep them both!

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

        Well Alli is the only other guy I'm even slightly considering using my transfer on. Hmmm. Thanks

    3. juggos
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Rod/Schar > Giaccherini for me. I've only got Schar and considering the same move but Junuzovic will likely be where I use my transfer

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

        I don't know which of the two I want to take out so I'm leaning towards the Alaba move 😆

        I like Schar a lot. 🙂

    4. JÆKS ⭐

        10 years, 10 days ago

        I agree.

        But they don't go hunting in packs, recording it on a GoPro. England fans are rude, boisterous and provocative, but there is little organised violence nowadays.

        The Russian hooligans have 'Tour De France F*** Euro 2016' on their shirts. Don't think they're there for the footy.

        Sure. I don't think anybody suggested that either. But those Russia "fans" are like paramilitary troops operating on an enemy soil, with a planned mission to injure/kill other teams' fans, the English being the target now, but it doesn't seem to be just because something these English hooligans had done.

        Needs to happen in a stadium unfortunately!

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          I don't understand why, in fact. It's not as if the teams playing had any more control on the hooligans in the stadium than they have on those outside of it.

    Rui Patricio Kozacik
    Rami Schär Juanfran Strinic Höwedes
    Perisic KDB Junuzovic Götze Hamsik
    Müller Giroud Nolito

    What should I do here guys?

    A couple of players that I would be willing to sell: Hamsik Nolito Götze Junuzovic Perisic (if not fit)

    Just Junuzovic --> Alli? Götze --> Payet? Take a hit and do both? Wildcard?

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

      Hmmm, you're in a sticky situation. I'm an Alli owner and I don't advise you to get him. Prefer Dszudszak.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        He played well imo
        Wasn't a fan of Hamsik, played too deep for me 😀 But he might be worth keeping.

        It's just that I really don't fancy Götze and well Junuzovic I have no clue about his injury how bad it was.....

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

          Well I would take out the doubts first so Junuzovic out imo. The replacement however, is your call. If your gut screams Alli, don't ignore it. 🙂

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 10 days ago

            Not sure if Junuzovic is a greater doubt than Götze after that performance though 😀

    Worth holding Alaba on a WC? Did play well in the first half and hogging free kicks + pens

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      Not sure.

    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    KDB and Alaba for me are staying.

    KDB may not have played well but set 3 great chances up still.

    Alaba played pretty well, hit post, could easily have had 1 or 2 assists

    1. ronty
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      yup..

      KdB even on an off day could easily have had a couple of assists..
      he will be back running the show

      1. thebizzle

        And against weaker opposition

      Nevermind, they just removed it.

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend

      now he has 2 points...
