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.

    Don't know about you guys, but I'm wildcarding and cleaning out any Austrian or Belgian influence my team has.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Waste of a wildcard.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Wouldn't agree. My team needs work. Looking at 52 points.

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Mine is worse. Keep it for QF. Just 4 FT. 2 or 3 4m fodders and max up the rest.

    2. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Watch both teams bounce back in 2nd game

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Probably will. I don't care.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          hehe

    3. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah probably good idea after Belgium failed to score with all their chances against that terrible Italian defense. Sweden and Ireland have steadfast defenses.

      /s

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Justify Austria. 🙂

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I like Alaba, he gets forward a lot and is on pens and Austria will have to attack.

          Other than that though lol..

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Precisely this.

  2. Shels
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Austria all over the gaff

    least not all over europe 🙂

  3. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Perisic and Junuzovic now both left the pitch with a small injury

    Wanted to do Götze --> Payet, seems like there is some work to do for my team here 😀

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Same. What's worse is I also own Dragovic. 🙁

      1. ..RL..
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        +1

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Haha well you know where to spend that FT then! 😀

        Wildcarding early just seems weird since I'll also want it for gamweek 3

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Same. I don't have a clue on what to do now.

  4. Moore FPL

    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Sounds like Austria are awful reading on here

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Could have scored a couple in the first half. Hit the post in the first minute. Has been anonymous second half.

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hit the post 🙁

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Cr7 is going to absolutely destroy this Austrian defence

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      🙂

    2. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The only essential pick

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      could only get him by wcing

      worth it for ronaldo captain next week ?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        If he does something tonight people will be tearing their teams apart to get him in

    4. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Might wildcard and get him in right away depending on how Portugal play. Can see this game ending 4-2.

    5. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He is but please stop calling him that

  7. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    so who was unlucky enough to have Dragovic (c)?

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A lot of people here! 😛

    2. Marstar
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Me ;(

  8. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Best replacement for Junozovic for 6.5m or less ?

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mak I think

      1. HurriKane

    2. Leaf

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Joao Mario

    5. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years

      I'm getting Brozovic

  9. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Dragovic has just overtaken Hitler on FFS as most hated Austrian 😀

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If only I got Hintegger

  10. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Russia should get kicked out of the Euros. They're attacking everyone!

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      England will get a win then?

  11. RMA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    LOL does junuzovic get CS? I think he does?

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I thought he had to play till the 60th.

      1. RMA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Soccerway says he did?

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

  12. Delima

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hi guys,

    im three weeks here now. I saw many tips here concerning how good Mak, Dragovic, Junuzovic, Janko, too many to name, are. Wel they are just complete crap!

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Literally of all those you've mentioned only the Austrians did poorly

    2. TJ_777
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well consider yourself stupid for going off the majorities advice. If you didn't do your own research on players that's your own fault don't blame FFS for your crap score

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mak is crap? OK ...

      1. TJ_777
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I think he meant Weiss. Either way mak and Weiss both played decent.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Ah. As you say.

    4. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Most of the FFS picks have been solid. Schar, Dier, Giaccherini, Payet, Mak, Sommer. Don't take exceptions and make rules out them.

      1. Delima
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Tj_777 i don't have a crap score as i have 58 now

    5. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mak and Weiss did well.

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Play your own game then. No one knows any more than anyone. You don't have to pick what people here have. There have been some good picks. Can't get em all right and we 1 game in

  13. Jay_
      9 years, 8 months ago

      As it stands I need Guerriero to play and get a cleanie just to earn 1 point from manager subs. If he don't play it's a 5 point loss. Quite like this side of the game though, certainly not boring.

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Need Patricio to keep a cleansheet to make taking out Kozicak worth it

      2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Your substitutions would give Woy a run for his money

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          ^^^! 😆

        2. Lallana_
          • 12 Years

          Jay for England Manager

    • Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Think this is the biggest upset of the tournament so far

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah that red card has upset a fair few

      2. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I was quite upset with my Gotze fail

      3. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        England Russia?

        1. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Guess so, but many avoided England assets whereas we all seemed to go with an Austrian

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            *you

    • Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is that goalkeeper wearing track bottoms?

      Wow the embarrassment of losing to these is even worse now 😀

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Wears them for superstition

      2. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years

        Blasphemy. All hail King Gabor.

      3. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Their keeper got hurt in warmups and the brought in somebody's dad

      4. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Wore shorts once with Crystal Palace and had a mare, so he always wears them now. Has worked so far! He's not a top model, as he says...

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      How did we overlook the Hungarians?

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Austria's having a shocker but Alaba

      2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Viennaed up with Austrians, and played Strinic instruments instead.

    • TJ_777
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hungary to win the euros? 🙂

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Obviously. 😆

      2. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years

        Yeah, right

    • Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years

      Is WC this week a good idea? No better time to use it tbh.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yep, get rid of all the crap

      2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        after gw2 is better, imo

      4. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Depends on how much of a bollox you have made of your original selection

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Speaking of which, have you got de Bruyne, and if so, what are you doing with him, if anything?

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            sell. he shouldn't be in your team in the first place.

          2. KingNidge
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            No Doos the tough opening game put me off... had intention of maybe drafting one in after the first game but off that idea... if i had him i would persist probably

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Gah. 🙁

              I might sell - too much money sloshing around in an empty bucket.

              1. KingNidge
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Up to you mate.. Payet aside my midfield has been a bit of a let down tbh.. Joao Mario to come so though think he could be a star.. 🙂

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Hi mate, do you have any idea of how do other fantasy teams in team N. Ireland look like? It's such a close tie but I'm not able to find your team-mates in FFFrog's league.

          1. KingNidge
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Couldn't tell ya mate.. i have had no contact with any of em lol

      5. TJ_777
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Either that or after MD2 personally I prefer the former because you get a wildcard in between the group stages and the knockout round

        1. ryacoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          What's the logic behind MD3 wildcard if we get unlimited transfers the following Matchday?

          1. TJ_777
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Teams rotate if there already qualified

    • Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hope England thrash Wales and Bale's comments look idiotic

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        A Woy team will never thrash anybody when it matters.. on the other hand Bale could beat them on his own

    • El Patron
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alaba or Hinteregger goal and I´m satisfied.

    • Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Love my defence and attack but midfield epic fail™

      Alaba , Perisic , Stanciu , Draxler , Gotze

      Think the first 3 can stay , so Draxler or Gotze it is

    • ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Looking like Junuzovic, Muller, Denayer, and Rami need removal from my team. Maybe Guerreiro too. Yikes.

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        What's wrong with Rami ?

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          French defense looked woeful.

    • BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Rui Patrício, Vieirinha, Pepe, Carvalho, Guerreiro, Danilo, Moutinho, João Mário, André Gomes, Nani e Cristiano Ronaldo.

      Alaba had a good 15 mins. Since then he has been absolutely shocking

        I think he's done well. And Arnie too, but Austria has been too direct.

      Spent the day concerned about the Janko Dragovic machine. So glad the wheels fell off, for those who captained is it a -4? Or worse? Smug.

      Come on Joao Mario tonight.
