Friday’s final fixture takes in the Group D clash between Spain and a Turkey side looking for their first points of Euro 2016.

This is the first time the two sides have met in a major finals, while in their previous 10 encounters Spain have won nine. Turkey’s only victory came in a World Cup qualifier in 1954.

Although Vicente del Bosque’s Spain won their first game 1-0 over the Czech Republic, the former World Cup winners were far from convincing with 13 of their 18 goal attempts failing to hit the target.

Turkey will be hoping Spain can continue their profligate goal threat after conceding a worrying 15 shots in the box in their 1-0 defeat to Croatia. Indeed, over their 13 European Championship games Turkey have kept just two clean sheets.

    In the email we received about the updated ticker it says "This can be extended to show months ahead and allows for sorting by difficulty over the Gameweeks being displayed, plus the ability to assess rotation between teams."

    Is the rotation thing a specific feature I'm not seeing or did I misunderstand something?

      Select a team -> Sort by rotation

      You can move teams up and down to be next to others

      1. Piggs Boson

        Once you sort by rotation or difficulty, you can no longer move them 🙁

        You don't seem to be able to drag them any more? Clicking up and down arrows is a painful experience

          No dragging currently. On desktop, teams move quick for me.

    What would Czech Republic have to do to go through their group?

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

      Beat Turkey and have a better goal difference than Croatia and Croatia have to lose to Spain. But that's just to get 2nd place. They can get third place with a draw against turkey

  8. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ

    Unable to watch the game. How has the game been for both sides?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good for Spain (winning)
      Bad for Turkey (losing)

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2-0 says it all

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Spain brilliant, Turkey doing nothing.

    4. TJ_777
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Haha let me rephrase. Do Turkey have any attacking qualities or any close chances

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

    Gerry Armstrong saying on TV 3 that those years ago, Fergie binned Pique and kept JEvans, yikes.

  21. JK - Cønt ⭐

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

      You're not playing I thought?

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

        JK busted 😀

  22. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 10 Years

    Wish I captained him. 🙁

  23. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who got the assist for Nolito?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Fabregas played the ball, but it came last off the defender. Don't know if he'll get the assist.

    2. Jay_
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody, Fab through ball misheaded by defender, straight to Nolito

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

        Ah thanks guys. Hoping Iniesta joins the party soon.

  24. Mo Mané Mo Problems

    Just when I thought my game week was coming off the rails.

    121 points as it stands. Maybe 119 with Siggy to come.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Overall* (that was misleading)

  25. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Fabregas Assist!!! YEEES

  26. Murph1
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Fabregas assist?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes!

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

        No?

  27. TJ_777
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Captained Giacherini over Nolito. O well can't get them all right.

  28. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Fabregas assist given! Didn't think he'd get it.

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

      Ah! 🙂

      In addition, an attempt which rebounds from the goal frame, the goalkeeper or a defender can be considered as an assist, if it leads directly to a goal.

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

        pretty sure that's supposed to be an attempt on goal.

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

      Aaaaaaand it's gone.

  29. Bøwstring The Carp

    Nolito a bad pick they aid 🙄

    Give me those 9 points...

    1. Bøwstring The Carp

      said* 😳

  30. justmatt

    Was so close to using my WC but decided to have faith and took a -4 instead, brought in Payet (C) - 16, Giaccherini - 6, and kept Rami - 9, Perisic - 7 and Nolito - 8. Lesson is be patient.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      well done

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

      Taking a -4 and being patient? 😆

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

        2 changes rather than WC is pretty patient.
